TOPIC: THE BLOOD OF JESUS
MEMORISE
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Colossians 1:20
READ: 1 Peter 1:18-19

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 14 DECEMBER 2024 TODAY MESSAGE
The blood of Jesus is more powerful than many people think. It is a potent weapon that can be used to easily overcome our adversary, the devil, and his cohorts as we see in Revelations 12:10-11:
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.
I face various oppositions from terrible evil forces, and I always emerge victorious because I have learnt to plead the blood of Jesus at all times. In the United States of America, there is a fifth amendment to the constitution that contains the right of a person to not answer any questions that law enforcement agents ask so that the fellow does not incriminate himself or herself. Therefore, when you hear an American say, “I plead the fifth,” he or she is exercising the right guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the American Constitution.
In the same vein, when a child of God pleads the blood of Jesus, he or she is invoking the rights guaranteed by the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross of Calvary. Some of those rights are recorded in Isaiah 53:5:
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes healed
You cannot be hurt by the devil because Jesus Christ has already been wounded and bruised for your transgressions. This is a protective cover over you against any force of darkness. Also, the devil cannot touch any of your friends, family members, or properties because he must not do anything that will affect your peace, as Jesus already took the chastisement of your peace upon Himself.
Also, your health is secure because by the stripes of Jesus Christ, you are healed.
Beloved, you can overcome the devil and his cohorts by the blood of Jesus Christ because the moment you plead the blood, all that Jesus Christ suffered for you comes between you and the devil, forcing him to leave you alone. Make it a habit to always plead the blood of Jesus and you will experience victory in Christ.
ACTION POINT
Make it a habit to plead the blood of Jesus over yourself, your loved ones and all that concerns you.
