OPEN HEAVENS 14 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: SHIELDED BY HIS BLOOD
MEMORISE:
Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:19
READ: Exodus 12:1-14
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
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:
6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
7 And 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.
8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
RCCG OPEN HEAVENS 14 OCTOBER 2026 TODAY MESSAGE
The blood of Jesus is one of the many ways God shields His children. In today’s Bible reading, God used the blood of lambs, which was a typology of the blood of Jesus, to save the children of Israel from the plague of death. He said to them, “And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you…”
Psalm 116:8 tells us that God delivers our souls from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from falling. If not for the special shielding of God during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, many of us would not be here today. Indeed, the blood of Jesus Christ shielded us and delivered our souls from death.
The blood of Jesus Christ also shields us from demonic attacks and grants us victory over the devil and his agents. Revelation 12:11 says, “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.” We are also shielded from wrath and are justified by the blood of Jesus (Romans 5:9).
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sins. 1 John 1:7 says, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Ephesians 1:7 also tells us that we have redemption and forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus Christ. That blood also grants us access to God and gives us the boldness to enter into the holiest, as we see in today’s memory verse.
The blood of Jesus also speaks. 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.” I pray that in the name above all other names, you will experience and enjoy the better things Jesus’ blood has spoken and is still speaking on your behalf, in Jesus’ name.
Beloved, the blood of Jesus will not speak for you or shield you if you have yet to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. In order to be saved and shielded by Jesus’ blood, you must confess with your mouth that He is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
PRAYER POINT
Father, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Please let His blood speak better things on my behalf and shield me from all evil, in Jesus’ name.

HYMN: What Can Wash Away My Sin
OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 14 OCTOBER 2026 COMMENTARY
Today’s devotional, “Shielded by His Blood,” reveals one of the most powerful truths in all of Scripture: the blood of Jesus is our protection, our cleansing, our access, and our victory.
It takes us back to the Passover in Egypt, where God instructed the Israelites to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb. That lamb was a picture of Jesus — the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. When God saw the blood, He passed over them. Death could not touch them.
That same blood is available to you today. It shields you, cleanses you, and speaks for you.
1. The Blood Shields Us from Death
In Exodus 12, God told the Israelites to strike the blood on their doorposts. He said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you” (Exodus 12:13).
Psalm 116:8 says God delivers our souls from death, our eyes from tears, and our feet from falling. Daddy notes that if not for God’s special shielding during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, many of us would not be here today. The blood of Jesus shielded us and delivered our souls from death.
You may not see the dangers God has shielded you from. Thank Him for it.
2. The Blood Gives Us Victory Over the Enemy
The blood of Jesus shields us from demonic attacks and grants us victory over the devil and his agents. Revelation 12:11 says, “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.”
We are also shielded from wrath and justified by the blood of Jesus (Romans 5:9).
When the enemy comes with accusations, when he reminds you of your past, when he tries to make you feel unworthy — plead the blood of Jesus. The blood is your defence. The blood is your victory.
3. The Blood Cleanses and Gives Access
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 says, “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Ephesians 1:7 tells us we have redemption and forgiveness of sins through His blood.
That same blood grants us access to God and gives us boldness to enter into the holiest (Hebrews 10:19).
The blood of Jesus washes whiter than snow.
4. The Blood Speaks Better Things
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.”
Abel’s blood cried out for vengeance. Jesus’ blood cries out for mercy, forgiveness, and redemption. Daddy prays that you will experience and enjoy the better things Jesus’ blood has spoken and is still speaking on your behalf.
When you sin, the blood of Jesus speaks forgiveness. When you are accused, the blood speaks justification. When you are weak, the blood speaks strength. When you are lost, the blood speaks redemption. The blood is always speaking on your behalf — better things than you could ever ask or imagine.
Relating This to Your Everyday Life
You may be facing battles you cannot see. You may be walking through dangers you are not aware of. But the blood of Jesus is your shield.
When the enemy reminds you of your past, remind him of the blood. When fear creeps in, speak the blood. When you feel unworthy to approach God, remember that the blood gives you boldness. When you sin, run to the blood for cleansing.
The blood of Jesus will not shield you if you have not accepted Him as your Lord and Saviour. But if you confess with your mouth that He is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). And once you are His, the blood covers you, shields you, cleanses you, and speaks for you — every single day.
Action Steps
1. Plead the Blood Daily — Every morning, declare: “I am covered by the blood of Jesus. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” Make the blood your daily confession.
2. Accept Jesus if You Haven’t — If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, do it today. Confess Him as Lord. Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. Apply the blood to your life.
3. Thank God for Unseen Protection — Spend time today thanking God for all the dangers He shielded you from that you never knew about. Gratitude for unseen protection builds faith for seen battles.
Prayer Points
- Father, I thank You for the precious blood of Jesus that shields me, cleanses me, and speaks for me. I bless You for the protection I cannot see, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, forgive me for the times I have taken the blood of Jesus for granted. Forgive me for trying to fight battles in my own strength, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over my life, my family, my home, and my destiny. Let the blood cover us and shield us from all evil, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, by the blood of Jesus, I overcome the enemy. Every accusation, every attack, every plan of darkness — let it be scattered by the power of the blood, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, let the blood of Jesus cleanse me from every sin. Wash me whiter than snow. Let no stain remain, in Jesus’ name.
- Lord, by the blood of Jesus, give me boldness to enter into Your presence. Let nothing keep me from You. Let nothing separate me from Your love, in Jesus’ name.
- Father, let the blood of Jesus speak better things on my behalf. Let it speak mercy, favour, healing, breakthrough, and victory over my life, in Jesus’ name.
