Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD Theme: The Blood Of The Lamb, And The Word Of Our Testimony! Date: Sunday February 2nd, 2014 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 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 (Revelation 12:10-11). How wonderful this is! Gods children overcame Satan by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. Satan isnt going to win; he never has, and never will! His end has been determined and revealed to us. He may yet have his modus operandi, which is deception; we also have our modus operandi against him: the blood of the Lamb, and the Word of our testimony. How do you use the blood of Jesus against the adversary? Some say its by sprinkling the blood, but thats not what the Word teaches. The Lord Jesus showed us how to use the blood in Luke 22:19-20: And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. He instructs us to do this in remembrance of Him. 1 Corinthians 11:25-26 says, After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lords death till he come. As you partake of the Holy Communion, youre proclaiming the blood of His death. His blood reconciled us to God, and gave us life. Hebrews 12:24 says, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Stand strong on your faith in the blood of Jesus. That blood speaks your salvation, deliverance, wholeness, perfection, and eternal victory over Satan, sin and death. Therefore, taking the Communion is a celebration of the transcendent life in Christ to which youve been called. PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the body of Christ that was broken for me, and His blood that gives me life. I remember what Christ did and proclaim that Ill never be broken because He was broken for me. Ive been reconciled to God and cleansed from all sin by the power of the blood. I stand my ground in faith on this truth, in Jesus Name. Amen.
