Exodus 11:1 ‘ Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

DAILY READING; 1 Corinthians 14:26-40; 2 Kings 9; Jonah 4

This week, the Jews are observing the 2021 Passover celebration which began at sundown on March 27 and ends Sunday evening, April 4.
The Passover is a festival of freedom for the Jews.
It is an eight-day holiday that commemorates their departure from slavery in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago.
The name ‘Passover’ is a reference to Exodus 12:13, in which God “passed over,” or spared, the houses of the Israelites in the final plague, when He killed the firstborn sons in Egypt.

During Passover, entire Jewish families – from great-grandparents to newborns – sit at the table to retell the story of the exodus.
However, during this period of the global pandemic, open celebrations of the Passover was made virtually impossible as extended families could no longer gather together under one roof to celebrate as they normally would have.
Last year especially, as the COVID-19 pandemic raged, for many Jews, it was the first time in their lives to celebrate the Passover at home, not going anywhere, nor socializing.
Yet the lockdowns, travel bans and closed synagogues still did not deter the Jewish general observance of the Passover season. With some ingenuity and technology—Jews from all over the world were able to celebrate virtually.
Several organizations and synagogues created guidelines to hosting virtual Passover via Zoom, FaceTime, Facebook Live etc.

The pandemic is definitely not the first or even the most unprecedented of challenges under which Jews have celebrated the Passover. Throughout history even under the worst of conditions, the Jewish people have always held on to the celebration of the Passover. For them it is a constant reminder of God’s deliverance and their freedom from every bondage.

As believers, the Passover is also a constant reminder to us that we have passed spiritually from slavery to freedom.
When the mystery of the Passover Blood was engaged in Egypt, God delivered the Israelites from 430 years of captivity.
Though God had sent several plagues to Egypt still Pharaoh had refused to release the Israelites.
Then in Exodus 11:1 God said to Moses ‘ Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

The “one more plague” was the mystery of the Passover Blood.
At God’s instruction, Moses called the Israelites and told them to take a lamb and kill it. Then they would take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood of the lamb and strike the door posts of their homes. (Exodus 12:21-23).

As the Jews obeyed the words of Moses, they were preserved as the angel of death passed through the land. Through the mystery of the Passover Blood, the siege of captivity over them was finally broken and they were set free from the bondage in Egypt.

In the same way today, as plagues and pandemics rage in these last days, through the mystery of the Passover Blood, we shall be preserved. Certainly, no evil shall befall us and no plague can come near our dwelling place.
Indeed, the Blood is God’s instrument for our deliverance from all assaults of the wicked.
Just as a lamb was slain for the sprinkling of the Passover Blood, Jesus is the Lamb Who has been slain on the Cross for our freedom and deliverance.
There is no yoke so strong that the Blood of Jesus cannot break it in your life. There is no bondage so thick that the blood cannot destroy it.
Indeed every affliction that the enemy has tried to ensnare you with, can be broken off today, as you engage the power in the Blood of Jesus.

The Blood of Jesus is the Blood Covenant that redeemed us from the curse of the law to enjoy the blessings of Abraham. [Galatians 3:13-14]
Therefore, if any generational curse is working against you in any way, you can engage the Blood to establish your freedom today.
Indeed there is wonder-working power in the Blood to break every chain of captivity.
Today, as we connect to the blessings of this Passover season, surely, in every area of our lives, the Blood will keep speaking ‘Passover’ to every evil and secure our total freedom from every bondage.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the Blood of Jesus that is speaking ‘Passover’ in my life to every evil. Indeed today, by the Blood I am preserved from every plague and have the victory over every affliction in Jesus Name
