WEDNESDAY 1ST AUGUST 2018 MORNING PRAYER DEVOTION
SCRIPTURE READING:- ROMANS 8:18-39
TOPIC:- JESUS, THE LAMB WHO TOOK AWAY THE SIN OF THE WHOLE WORLD
TEXT:- JOHN 1:29
Jesus Christ, the lamb that was sacrificed for us in other for us to be redeemed back unto God. See Genesis 3:15; Revelation 5.
See how Jesus offered His blood for the redemption of our sins, i.e. how blood came out through Him for our forgiveness and salvation:
1. When He prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, blood came out of Him. See Luke 22:39-46; John 18:6.
2. When He was scourged, blood came out from Him. See John 19:1; 1Peter 2:24.
3. When He was crowned with thorns, blood came out from Him. See John 19:2.
4. When He was nailed on the right hand to the cross, blood came out from Him. See Mark 15:22-24.
5. When He was nailed on the left hand to the cross, blood came out from Him. See Luke 23:32-34.
6. When His legs were nailed to the cross, blood came out from Him. See John 19:17-23.
7. When He was pierced by His side with a spear, blood came out from Him. See John 19:34.
Let us also see the greatest drama that happened in the grave when Jesus was buried therein:
1. Jesus spoiled and triumphed over the devil and his hosts. See Colossians 2:15.
2. Jesus collected the keys of hell and of death, and lives for evermore. See Revelation 1:18.
3. Death was conquered for us, and thereby we have victory over devil and death. See 1 Corinthians 15:54-57.
How then can we appreciate the blood shed for us and applied?
1. We must never be proud, it is by grace. Note Isaiah, as he said, “Woe unto me.” See Isaiah 6:5.
2. Never you think you are the most holy. Note Isaiah, as he wrote of, “holier than thou,” attitude. See Isaiah 65:5.
3. Behave like God who gave us the attitude of humility to follow, “bows for the humble.” See Psalms 138:6.
4. Then, for you to make it till the end, you must discipline yourself. See 1 Corinthians 9:27.
With all the above, you are an over comer over the devil and his hosts through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Prayer Points:-
1. I am a conqueror through the blood of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. Devil, you are a failure, and you will continue to fail over me and things pertaining to me, in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. I am covered by the blood of Jesus, no weapon nor arrow targeted against me and my family henceforth shall prosper, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Beautiful Mid-Week!
