CHRIST OUR PASSOVER LAMB [IV]

 

Living Bread Nugget 1201 [Mark 14:22-25; Exodus 12:1-14]

 

Jesus Established the Eternal New Covenant

Mark 14:22-25 22And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.  23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.  24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.  25Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God [also, Matthew 26:26-30].

Jesus did away with the Jewish Passover by giving himself up to God as a perfect lamb, a clean offering to God for meeting the conditions of atonement by our Holy heavenly Father. As Jesus partook of the Passover, he pronounced a new covenant that is a better sacrifice acceptable to God. Jesus explained to them the big event they were witnessing; unfermented wine representing the blood of the New Testament which replaces the Old Testament blood of clean bulls and goats, and the bread representing his body broken for us. Hence the bible says his body and blood is a better testament laid on better promises. Therein lies the way for salvation; the blood of Jesus superseded and replaced the Jewish Passover for the redemption of the soul of man and his body was broken so that we can be made whole and partake with him in heaven with a resurrected body, the marriage supper of the lamb. Jesus had a heavenly body of flesh and bones when he appeared to his disciples before his final ascent to heaven.

Luke 24:39-40 39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.   40And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

Notice that the fruit of the vine will be the symbol of remembrance at the marriage supper of the lamb and no bread would be broken as was done before the crucifixion and as is symbolized during Holy Communion. However, the bread is our symbol now because Jesus’ body was broken (he underwent pain and agony) for us to restore our health. Bread is not symbolized then because he is not going to die the second time.  Moreover, there will be no more people to be rescued from the cures of sin imposed by Adam’s transgression. All that are rescued would have been rescued and all that have experienced the second death would have experienced death and eternal damnation to hell fire. Also, there will be no more curse, neither will there anymore be sickness as we would have eaten of the tree of life which gives everlasting life, renewing our health always in the new kingdom. Would you not want to be a part of this great assembly?

 

Rev 22:1-3 1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.  2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Prayer of Faith

1.  Lord let me be a partaker in the marriage supper of the Lamb. I want to drink the fruit of the vine with you in your eternal kingdom in Jesus Name.

2. Lord I receive wholeness for my body, soul and spirit as I have partaken in previous Holy Communion and I as partake in future with my family and with your saints in the mighty Name of Jesus.

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER LAMB [III]

Living Bread Nugget 1129 [Exodus 12:1-14; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8]

 

The Lamb of God Sacrificed

Jesus purchased our redemption. Everyone is invited to become a part of this covenant between God and man through the blood of the perfect and sinless Christ. God is rich in grace to forgive no matter the gravity of our sins. So do not think your offence is too big for God to forgive you. The blood of Jesus was shed on the cross of Calvary for that reason.

 

Eph 1: 7

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

 

1 Peter 1 v 18 -21

18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

 

So the fundamental benefit of our redemption in Christ is freedom from sin and death. The great moral weight of trying to please God your own way will be removed because you are not trying to reach God by your own way. He made provision for your redemption already.

 

Rom 8:v1-2

1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

 

Another benefit is redemption from the slave market of Satan [the World]. Egypt was an iron house. Ex 1: 11-14 reads:

 11Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.   12But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

 13And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:  14And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

 

For a slave to be free, he had to be bought with a price or redeemed from his master by his kinsman. The procedure was set out in Leviticus 25:38-55 both for the poor who had become a slave due to his poverty and the stranger who dwelt with the children of Israel. No matter how they became slaves or their inability to redeem themselves they were to become free in the year of jubilee. Their freedom was guaranteed in that year. Jesus is our jubilee and freedom from the slave market of Satan. He delivered us from the iron furnace of wickedness.

 

Eph 2: 1-2

1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;  2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

The blood of Christ sets us free from sins bondage. When a man is without Christ he lives under the monarchy of sin. When he becomes a Christian he lives in a new realm, a brand new sphere.

 

The third benefit and no less important is that Jesus redeemed us to God as special people into the family of God and into His kingdom. Indeed he made us joint heirs with him in God’s kingdom. It means what Jesus owns you own. It means what cannot harm Jesus cannot harm you. It means your pains, sorrow and darkness cannot last forever because of his mighty hand of deliverance on your behalf. He made you an overcomer to reign in this life.

 

Eph 2: 12

 12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

 13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

 

Rev 5:9-10

 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;  10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

 

The fourth benefit we will talk about is redemption from the wrath of God to come. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross must be taken seriously if you want to escape the wages of sin which is eternal separation from God, that is the second death. As said in Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.

Only Jesus can redeem our souls from the wrath to come. As said by Paul to the Macedonians who had turned from their idols to serve God in

 

1 Thessalonians 1: 8 – 10

8For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.  9For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;  10And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

 

There are so many other benefits tied to the benefits already mentioned; he gives you joy and peace, he gives us divine health and heals all our sicknesses and diseases; he is the resurrection and the life, death had no dominion over him; He defeated principalities and powers on our behalf; he is right now preparing mansions for us in his kingdom; he is interceding to God on our behalf daily.

 

Prayer of Faith

1.     Lord I thank you for my redemption. Anything that wants to make a mockery of my redemption in Christ, receive the stones of fire and be roasted in Jesus Name.

2.     Satan, I address you. I am not for sale; I have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus. You have no power over me or my family. I rule over you in every department of my life. All your operations I render them powerless in Jesus Name. Amen.

CHRIST OUR PASSOVER LAMB [II]

 

Living Bread Nugget 1122 [Exodus 12:1-14; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8]

 

Before the events of the Passover, there were nine other plagues which turned out to be warning plagues. The tenth plague was a final judgment plague and the Passover was the only way to escape it. The tenth Plague was pronounced in [Ex 11 v 1, 4-7].

 

1And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. ……….

 

The only accepted sacrifice to escape the tenth plague was the blood of a Lamb applied to the doorpost.

 

Ex 12:5, 7

5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

7And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.  

 

Obedience, Freedom Assured and Transformation

After Moses received the instructions in Ex 12:1-14 from God, he went back to the camp and instructed the people accordingly in Ex 12:21-28.

 

21Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

 22And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

 23For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. ……………………..

 

Time of Reckoning and Freedom Celebration

Good Himself supervised the event of the tenth plague by sending his angels to execute His judgment in Ex 12:29.

29And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

 

The celebration that followed only happens once in a lifetime. It was celebration galore in the camp of the Israelites and woe and destruction in the land of Egypt [Ex 12: 30-51]

 

Lessons for the Christian of the Passover

There are important correlation between the Passover of Exodus 12 and the New Testament Passover. The Passover became an annual memorial and in Matthew 26  Jesus and his disciples partook of the Passover for the last time before he himself offered himself as a better and perfect sacrifice pleasing to God. Therefore the Old Testament Passover was a typology of the New Testament’s.

 

Jesus Christ the Perfect Lamb

 Let us remember that the accepted sacrifice of the Passover was a lamb. Jesus was that Lamb and it had to be from God himself to be accepted as the perfect sacrifice. The sacrifice of Christ was also typified even before the Passover in the life of the first Patriarch, Abraham. When God tempted Abraham to go and offer his son Isaac, Abraham obeyed wholeheartedly and on the way when his son seeing the wood and the fire, asked his father where the lamb for the sacrifice was, Abraham’s reply speaking figuratively to his son Isaac, was that God himself will provide a lamb. God commended Abraham for his obedience and seeing that there was a man willing to obey completely, provided an animal lamb  instead for the sacrifice [Gen 22:1-14]. Two verses stand out in comparing the Passover with the sacrifice of Christ.

 

Ex 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

 

John 1: 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

 

So we see that Jesus is that perfect sacrifice for our sins and he made a way to God creating an opportunity for everyone to be reconciled with his Maker. This is further explained in  [Heb 9: 11-14]

 

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

 12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

 13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

 14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

 

Prayer of Faith

Lord thank you for providing a better and perfect way to come to you by the blood of Jesus. I come today to you; let your blood avail for me in Jesus Name. Quicken me. Mark the doorpost of my heart with your precious blood. Thank you because I am passed from death to life by the blood of Jesus. Henceforth my life will be a continual good sacrifice to God by my obedience in thought, word and action in Jesus Name. Amen.

ANNOINTED FOR SERVICE

Bible & Prayer Nuggets 1007 [Acts: 10:38, Amplified]

 38 How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him.

 

Jesus has deposited his powers in my life and every believer’s life to sweeten the lives of others and radiate his power by the Power of the Holy Spirit. On earth, Jesus said to his disciples, he will send the Holy Spirit and “each one of you will do greater works because I go back to my Father in heaven” [John 14:12, paraphrased]. This was literarily fulfilled in the life of Peter (his shadow healed the sick, Acts 5:15) and Paul (anointed handkerchief’s from him healed people, Acts 19:11-12) after the day of Pentecost. The power of the Holy Spirit transformed their lives, becoming clean vessels in the hand of God. A person’s life is like salt. It can sweeten or destroy.  My prayer is that the beauty of Jesus be seen in my life and yours and that we radiate the power of God in Jesus Name. Amen.

Prayer Lines 1007

Pray these prayers with all intensity in the inside of you:

1.     Oh Lord I separate myself unto you. I die to self. Anoint me and consecrate me with your strength and power in Jesus Name.

2.      Holy Spirit let your anointing perform Apostolic signs and wonders in my life and those around me in Jesus Name.

3.     Oh Lord, cause me to be triumphant in every area of my life and make my life fragrant for Christ everywhere in Jesus name.

MUSTARD SEED FAITH

 

 

[Living Bread Nugget 0704]

 

 

Luke 17:5-6 [KJV]

 5And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

 6And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

 One genuine prayer most people would like to see answered in the course of their daily activities is a firm strong increasing faith over uncommon problems. The apostles came to Jesus with a great request, at least so they thought; …………..Lord, Increase our faith. Jesus replied. All you need is the mustard seed faith. The mustard seed faith will do the wonders you desire. It can move trees and mountains that seem immovable, that is those things that have been firmly planted and will not move by your physical might or strength.  Your mustard seed faith will go to the very root of any problem, bulldoze it and dump the problem where it cannot have dominion over you anymore. The Holy Spirit will energise you mustard seed faith because the word of God says not by might nor by power but by my Spirit says the LORD of Host. Begin to exercise your faith as you have never done before.

 

Prayer Point

 

Pray the following prayers with all aggressiveness on the inside:

 

1.                Oh Lord energise the seed of faith in my heart to continue to grow and increase more and more in Jesus Name.

  

 2.            Every sycamine tree hindering my clear vision of the great blessings God has reserved for me, be uprooted and be dumped in the sea. And every mountain firmly planted by the enemy over my affairs become a molehill before the Lord and be buried in the sea in the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen and Amen.

SALTED AND WELL FLAVOURED

 

 

[Living Bread Nugget 0703]

 

 

MATTHEW 5: 13 [KJV]

 13   Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt  have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

 

You are the salt that has been chosen to flavour the world around you. Do not lose your flavour or allow your flavour to be diluted, polluted, or become irrelevant for whatever reason by anybody or group of persons. Remain a potent salt in Jesus Name.  

 

Prayer Point

 

1.                Oh Lord let the salt in me continue to be a sweet savour, making a difference to the world around me in Jesus Name.

 

2.            Every power of darkness manipulating a person or group of persons against me receive disgrace in the Name of Jesus. Let the salt in me become like the salt on an earthworm to such persons in the mighty Name of Jesus
