I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of 1 John 1:7, “ If we walk in the Light as he is in the Light, then we have fellowship with one another. And The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son, cleanses us from all sin.”
From the above context we learn that as children of God, we have a true sight and sense of sin. Then we begin to understand the tremendous price that Christ paid on the Cross for us – for it is only by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, that we are forgiven of our trespasses and sin – it is only by His blood that was shed on the cross for us we are cleansed from all our sin. By grace through faith, we have been called out of the darkness of sin and death into the marvellous light of His righteousness and life. And when we abide in Him and walk in the light of His love, we have fellowship with our heavenly Father, because the blood of Jesus His Son, continues to cleanse us from all sin. The Bible says, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
The Blood Of Jesus, brings deliverance. And God is sprinkling that Blood of Jesus on each one of you. So we enjoy mutual fellowship with God the Father. And the more we walk in the light of His truth and righteousness, the more we will become like Jesus. Our Spiritual life will be enlightened. At one time we were once filled with darkness and walked according to the way of the world, but now we have become light in the Lord and are called to walk as children of light. To walk in the light means to live in accordance with His perfect life and character. We are to give up evil and walk in truth, by submitting to His leading and guidance.
Because the Blood of Jesus is powerful, we usually pray in the name of Jesus, and say that we sprinkle the Blood of Jesus whenever we dedicate our new house or car, or when we buy some new goods, and we pray for the blessing of God to descend upon them. We even apply prayer oil on our door posts, and say the Blood of Jesus brings victory, brings peace, and brings protection, from the wrath of the evil one. We see that the angel of death did not, enter into the house of those Israelites, in whose door posts, the blood of the Passover lamb was applied. And we also read in the Bible that wherever the Blood of the lamb was not applied on the door posts the angel of death entered and killed all the eldest born. The Lord Jesus Himself, died on the cross a cruel death that you should not be killed. He spared your life that you may live, peacefully in this world. Thus we see the power of the Blood of Jesus.
It is the blood of Christ alone, that can cancel the power of sin and Satan, pain and disease, destruction, death, and hell itself. It is only by the powerful blood of the holy Lamb of God that the chains of sin can be broken, and be set free from your captivity. It is only through faith in Christ’s finished work on the Cross that God can pronounce a sinner to be saved. Truly there is power in the blood of Jesus there is wonder-working POWER in the precious blood of the Lamb of God. So our heart’s deepest desire should be to walk in the light as HE is in the light, so that fellowship with our Father is maintained, as the blood of Jesus – His Son, continues to cleanse us day after day after day.
Have your sins been forgiven? Is there an intimate relationship with the true and living God? So long you might have lived a displeasing life before God. You might have committed sin through bribery or through wrong means you would have acquired much wealth and built a house. But you would have lost your real joy and peace. The Bible says, “If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”All you need to do is to come out of your bondage or your captivity, by asking God to sprinkle His precious blood upon you. Once you come out of your bondage you will begin to walk in the fear of God and in Truth and Righteousness. He makes you perfect and holy in His sight. And the blessings of God will begin to descend upon you. All this is achieved only by faith in the blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ. When you are in Christ you become a new being. All your bad behaviour will disappear and you will become more Holy and Godly.
God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We praise You Heavenly Father, for the blood of Jesus, which has cleansed us of all our sins and has identified us with the righteousness of Christ. Your grace has helped us to walk in Your marvellous light. We choose from this day onward to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, for we desire an intimate fellowship with You, Abba Father. We praise You for Your amazing grace and the wonder-working power of His blood.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
