Exodus 12:1-2  ‘And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.’

Today, the Passover Is the Most Widely Celebrated Jewish Holiday. In Israel, Passover is the seven-day holiday of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, with the first and last days observed as legal holidays and holy days. During those days, observant Jews do not attend work or school. Holiday candles are lit at night, and kiddush and sumptuous holiday meals are enjoyed. One of the most important Passover rituals for observant Jews is removing all leavened food products, known as chametz, from their homes. No leavened bread can be consumed for the duration of the festival. During Passover, Jews refrain from eating bread and stores stop selling bread and bread products for the entire week. Jews can only eat an unleavened type of bread called matzo. Some Ethiopian Jews destroy their dishes and cookware and make new ones to signify their hope for redemption.

Though widely celebrated by Jews today, the Passover was instituted by God only as a  foreshadow of Christ’s sacrifice that would take place at Calvary.

Revelation 13:8 describes Jesus as “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”

In God’s agenda Christ is the Passover lamb whose Blood would be shed to pave the way of freedom for us.

1 Corinthians 5:7 says “Indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us”.

And just as the Passover was necessary to usher the Israelites into a new beginning, the Blood of Jesus was shed to usher us into a new season and phase of life. As we therefore prepare to enter into the new year, it becomes necessary to engage the power in the Blood to enable us successfully cross over into the new season. It’s not by accident that Passover is celebrated in the month of Nissan, the first month in the Hebrew calendar..

Exodus 12:1-2 says ‘The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, ‘This month shall be for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.’ As the Passover marked a new beginning for the Israelites, likewise today, the Blood of Jesus is ushering us into new beginnings. We are leaving behind every affliction and bondage of Egypt and coming into our promised  land flowing with milk and honey. Indeed we are coming into new seasons of unending blessings.

God said in Exodus 12:13 ‘And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.’

Indeed by the Blood of Jesus everything contrary to our destiny has passed over us. Therefore, by the power in the Blood your freedom from every bondage of sin, sickness and infirmity is established. Surely affliction shall never arise a second time. The Egyptians you saw before you shall see no more forever. Indeed by the Blood today, we are separated from every affliction and ushered into our new season of unending glory.

PRAYER; Lord I thank You for separating me today from every affliction of Egypt. Truly by the Blood of Jesus I have been ushered into my new season of glory and unending victory in Jesus name.
