May 01 – He Gives Victory!

“And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.’ And He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.”’” (Exodus 3:14)

The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years. They had no weapons for battle. They had neither strength nor opportunity to stand against Pharaoh and his armies. They were in a miserable condition, bound in severe slavery and unable to act.

Pharaoh, on the other hand, had a mighty army and many magicians to advise him. Humanly speaking, the Israelites had no way to oppose him or fight a war. Yet, the Lord was willing to give them victory.

Yes, the weapon God gave them for their deliverance from Egypt was the blood of the Passover lamb. That weapon accomplished two things: It covered and protected the families of Israel. In every house where the blood of the Passover lamb was applied, the destroying angel could not enter. In the houses where the blood was not applied, the firstborn of both humans and animals were struck down. Thus, the blood of the Lamb not only protects us but also becomes a powerful weapon of victory.

The Bible says: “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:4)

And again: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” (Revelation 12:11)

Who are the Pharaohs rising against you today? Who are the evil people opposing you? Who are those using dark powers against you?

Do one thing: hold fast to the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. Declare in faith over every enemy, “The blood of Jesus gives me victory!” Apply His powerful blood like fire against every opposition. All bondages will be broken. Every resistance will disappear. The Lord will fill you with such authority and power that no one will be able to stand against you.

Through the blood of the Passover lamb, the Israelites were not only delivered from slavery but also came out of Egypt with silver, gold, and great joy. The bondage of 430 years came to an end in a single day because of the blood.

Children of God, Jesus Christ is mighty to deliver you from every bondage of sinful habits through His blood and set you free.

Verse for further meditation: “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
