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.’
- DAILY READING – – Matthew 16; Numbers 1-2; Ecclesiastes 3:1-15
It is said that the safest place on earth is Fort Knox, which is the colloquial for the U.S. Bullion Depository. It houses 137 billion dollars worth of gold—5,000 tons of precious metals—behind a 22 ton door. The safety combination to that door is kept by 10 different people who do not know each other. Each person has a partial code; no one person knows the total code. The code has to be inserted one person at a time. Behind that door in the treasury that houses most of the most precious documents and items of the world’s governments. And if someone was crafty enough to break the code of the door and get in, he still wouldn’t get far, because he would have to get past armed guards, missile tanks, Apache helicopters, infrared surveillance, video cameras, and concrete reinforced granite walls. At the height of World War II, Fort Knox had the privilege of housing some of the most precious documents in the world, which were: the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and the Gutenberg Bible. It’s housed the crown jewels of the English family and some of the national reserve of other European countries.
Indeed Fort Knox may seem formidable and impregnable, and claim to be the safest place on earth, but it offers no spiritual protection. And spiritual protection is what really matters most, because no matter how physically well a person is protected if he lacks spiritual protection he still remains an easy target to the forces of wickedness.
Proverbs 21:31 says ‘The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.’ And Psalm 127:1 says ‘ Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.’
Indeed true protection is only from The Lord. The night the angel of death passed through Egypt, Pharaoh’s guards were all standing outside and watching, yet they couldn’t prevent the death angel from snatching away Pharaoh’s precious first born. But the Israelites who had no guards watching over them, because they had the blood of the lamb on their door post, they were protected from the angel of death.
Exodus 12:13 says ‘ 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.’
The blood of Jesus provides the greatest protection for us. We know that our battles in life are essentially spiritual, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. This is why therefore we must apply the Blood of Jesus as constant protection around us. When we are covered by The Blood then are we truly protected. In spiritual warfare through prayers, we plead the Blood or invoke the power in the Blood, for our desired victory.
The mystery of the Blood Covenant is so essential in this wicked world and the days that we live in. Thus, it is expedient that we receive, believe and engage the demands of this mystery in order to command mastery over every force of the wicked. Let us therefore constantly invoke the Blood of Jesus against sickness, disease, poverty, and against every evil agenda. Let us learn to make much of The Blood. Being covered by the Blood is what puts us in the safest place on earth. Indeed when we are under The Blood we enjoy total protection, deliverance and victory.
PRAYER: Lord I thank You that I am protected by the Blood of Jesus. Wherever I go, whatever I do today, I know I am invincible to every arrow of the wicked. Indeed by the precious Blood of Jesus I am more than a conqueror in every battle in Jesus Name.
