Revelation 12:11 ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death’
DAILY READING – Acts 8:26-40; Joshua 1-2; Job 21
Open Doors USA, is an organization that monitors Christian persecution around the world.
According to their World Watch list of countries that persecute Christians Egypt is No. 16.
But interestingly, despite the persecutions, there has been many miraculous conversion of Muslims in Egypt.
In 2019, one of these striking stories was shared by Open Doors. According to the story aired on the Christian Broadcasting Network, an Egyptian Muslim named Mostafa, had traveled to Cairo with the intention of killing his cousin, Mohammad, who had converted to Christianity.
Mostafa’s family had ordered him to find and execute Mohammed so as to remove the stigma of his conversion to Christianity. Honoring his family, Mostafa set out on the murderous task.
When he got to Cairo where Mohammed resided, he traced him to a church where he was seated and listening intently to a sermon.
Mostafa crept into the back of the church, with a hidden knife waiting for a right time to strike. But then, something supernatural occurred. As Mostafa, waited for the opportunity to stab his cousin, he had to in the meantime listen to the words of the minister coming from the altar. And rather than be offended he found his heart was stirred by what he was hearing. Quickly, he realized that he no longer had the zeal to carry out the killing of his cousin and so he decided to confess to Mohammed. With tears streaming down his face, he confessed to his cousin and asked him to tell him more about Jesus. Mohammed immediately explained the Gospel to him and later took Mostafa to his home. And that night as Mostafa slept, he had a dream. where Jesus appeared to him on the cross and said, “I did all of this because I love you, and I want you to be free from your sins.” The next morning, Mostafa rushed out of bed and asked Mohammed to pray for him. In an instant, he received salvation and was baptized. Instead of returning home, Mostafa began staying with Mohammed and the two cousins have passionately been serving Jesus.
The power of God not only preserved Mohammed’s life, but also arrested Mostafa from carrying out his evil intentions.
While it is true that in the last days, wickedness will increase, God will exempt His own by His supernatural intervention.. Through the Blood of Jesus we will be delivered from every evil plot.
Revelation 12:11 says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death’
It is our season to overcome every attack of the enemy by the Blood of Jesus. Any repetitive cycle of evil or stubborn problem that keeps following you year after year, can be stopped by the power in the Blood.
His blood is a weapon of mass destruction against every satanic assault. Indeed the Blood elevates us to a place of triumph in every contest.
Heb. 12:24 says “…And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”
Indeed the Blood of Jesus speaks. And today that Blood is speaking over our lives and over our loved ones. It is speaking judgment to every oppression of pharaoh that won’t let you go this year.
In Egypt, despite the years of captivity when the Blood came on the scene in Exodus chapter 12, Pharaoh quickly gave up.
As this year rounds up, let us keep invoking the Blood because it is the divine provision for our freedom from every satanic oppression. It is what it takes to silence the opposition. It is our ultimate victory in every battle of life.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the yoke breaking power in the Blood of Jesus. Indeed today by the power in the blood, every bondage and captivity is destroyed in my life forever! I have victory over everything contesting my glorious destiny in Jesus Name.
