Open Doors USA, which 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 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.
Mostafa, as he waited for the opportunity to strike 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’
In these season, any repetitive cycle of evil or stubborn problem
that keeps following year after year, can be stopped by the Blood of Jesus.
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.
