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 –   Matthew 5:1-20; Exodus 28:1-29:46; Proverbs 13

Recently on CBN news was the story of missionary, Pastor Danial who served in  Mindanao in southern Philippines. There he preached the Gospel among the tribal people. But one day unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by a splinter group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, or MILF. When the terrorists captured him, he had his towel around his neck, and one of the terrorists grabbed the towel and told him, that was what they would use to wipe the blood from his neck after beheading him. They then took him to their camp where he met their Commander, a notorious terrorist. The commander told the pastor he would be killed for leading tribal people to Christ, because anyone who preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ and upholds the God of Israel is their enemy. When the pastor saw the terrorists digging a hole nearby for his grave, he truly thought the end was near.

However at that same time Pastor Danial’s family and friends were in fervent prayers for him. And just as God delivered Peter from death when the church prayed, a sudden inexplicable miracle happened. The next morning, the terrorist Commander received an urgent phone call from their leader. After speaking with the leader, he then handed over the phone to Pastor Danial. The pastor heard a voice at the other end say that though they had planned to kill him that day, they had changed their mind and decided to release him. And the voice did not give any further explanation or reason for their sudden change of plan.

Pastor Danial was then released by the terrorists, who gave him a strict warning to stop evangelizing. Though he relocated to another part of town, yet, despite his near death experience, Pastor Danial continues to share the gospel with the tribal people of Mindanao. After seeing God’s mighty power to deliver, he said the incident has only made him bolder to serve God.

Isaiah 54:17 says no weapon formed against us shall prosper. And Psalm 91:11 says God will give His angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways.

Indeed God’s promises of divine protection are real. But we need to walk in a conscious understanding of our covenant rights and privileges to access it. And one covenant way of divine escape is engaging 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 so as 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. 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.

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. ..
