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 – 1 Corinthians 7:25-40; 1 Kings 21; Amos 5
Everlyne Muthoni, a Christian, was a second year education student when terrorists attacked Garissa University College Kenya, in 2015. However through faith, prayer, and the mercy of God, she was exempted from the evil.
She was awoken by the sound of gunshots around 5.30 a.m. The first sound of a gunshot roused her and her four roommates. They dismissed it as an ordinary police operation. But when the shooting continued, they knew that something was wrong. Quickly, Everlyne, picked up her phone and left the room, not minding that it was all dark as electricity supply to the hostel had been cut off. Three of her roommates, who remained behind, were later killed by the terrorists.
Her first hiding place was a men’s room on the first floor. As confusion set in over where the attackers were in the dark hostel, she decided to seek refuge under a bed. There were four other students there.
Then they heard one of the attackers, ordering everybody to come out if they wanted to be spared. They all came out of their hiding places. But it was a trick.
The attackers separated between the Christian and muslim students. They ordered the Christian students to lie down. Sensing what may occur next, Everlyne, miraculously, slipped into an open room, without being detected and hid in a wardrobe. As she was dashing for safety, all the other students she left were shot dead.
It was also a miracle that she neither sneezed nor coughed because she was nursing a terrible flu. Once inside, she sent messages to various people, including her father, asking for prayers. She started praying hoping for another miracle. Though the attackers were searching other rooms and shooting students, none of them came to the room where she was hiding,
It was all chaos until at around 6 pm, when Kenyan soldiers engaged the terrorists in intense gunfire. After the terrorists had been killed, soldiers started calling students to come out. Everlyne, came out, unhurt, blessing God for her miraculous escape. About 147 students had been killed.
The attack caused outrage all over the world. However, it was another signal to Christians of the increasing tempo of the spiritual warfare against the church. The clear target was the Christian students. When the gunmen arrived, their first target was an early morning Christian prayer meeting.
Indeed there is a serious warfare against the church, both spiritually and physically.
All over the world the battle is getting hotter, the tempo of spiritual attacks have increased. This is therefore no more the time for anyone to still be playing ‘church’. But rather we are to be vigilant and watchful. We must be fully committed to what we believe, and live absolutely for Jesus.
Since the root of our battles are essentially spiritual, we must know how to engage the mysteries of scriptures, to overcome. We must know what to do to escape the scourge that is sweeping through the earth in this end-times.
And no matter what may be happening in the world, we must be assured that God is irrevocably committed to His children’s protection. But it takes knowledge to enjoy the benefits of divine protection.
Isaiah 54:17 says no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And Psalm 91:11 says “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”
God’s promises of protection are real.
When by knowledge we engage the weapons of our warfare, we can be able to pull down any stronghold of the enemy. We therefore need to go for knowledge on our covenant rights and privileges. We need to walk in a conscious understanding of divine protection. And one of our covenant ways of divine escape is understanding the power of the blood of Jesus.
In Exodus 12:13, God’s condition for exemption is ‘when I see the blood, I will pass over you’
The night that God passed through Egypt there was wailing in every house except the houses whose door posts were marked with blood. Why the Israelites escaped was because they knew what to do. Now supposing some Israelites refused to apply the blood as instructed, they would have been victims of the great slaughter that night. This is why it is important for us to know what to do to be exempted from the evil of the end-times. For the law of divine exemption to work for you, you must walk in an understanding of God’s Word and His covenant.
As a child of God, things are not permitted to happen to you anyhow. Evil may be happening to others, but it is not permitted to happen to you; only with your eyes you will see the reward of the wicked. All those who serve the Lord genuinely are exempted from the evil and affliction that affects others.
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’
By the blood we are able to overcome every evil. The blood of Jesus is powerful enough to ward off evil from a man’s life. Therefore in your goings and comings continually plead the blood over you and your household. As you do The Spirit of The Lord will lift up the standard of the blood against every flood of the enemy. By the blood no evil can befall you nor plague come near your dwelling.
And today as you begin to apply the mystery of the blood, indeed the rod of the wicked shall never rest upon your lot, nor upon anything that has to do with you. by the shed blood of Christ you are indeed separated from every evil in Jesus Name.
.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the covenant of divine exemption. I know that indeed my case is different, because by the blood of Jesus I am separated from all evil in Jesus Name. ..
