Developing Your Faith in the Blood
Hebrews 4 says that God gave a powerful promise to Israel after He delivered them out of Egypt. While in Egypt, if they applied the blood as they were supposed to, they were protected. But when they got into the wilderness they stopped believing God and stopped using their faith. They stopped trusting His word and stopped relying upon what He had said. Because they did not mix their faith with the Word of God, they did not enter the Promised Land. They died in the wilderness. Only two persons entered the Promised Land.
The rest of them didn’t enter the Promised Land because they didn’t believe God. You need to use your faith. Mix your faith with the promises of God to protect you through the blood of Jesus and you will enjoy that covenant blessing. There are steps you can take to develop your faith in the blood of Jesus. First, if you want to develop your faith in the blood for your protection, you need to spend time with Jesus. He is the Author and the Finisher of your faith. Jesus gives faith. Jesus increases faith. Jesus builds faith as you spend time with Him. Do ask Jesus to increase your faith and then spend time with Jesus. Commune and fellowship with Jesus. It will cause Jesus to be able to strengthen and build your faith.
Next, take Jesus’ Word concerning His blood and meditate upon it. Memorize scriptures concerning the blood. Listen to sermons concerning His blood. Spend time meditating on the blood of Jesus and its power to protect you until it gets from your head into your heart. That’s when it really begins to do its work. Too often you hear the Word of God and it goes in one ear and out the other. It is the Word that you have meditated upon and gotten into you heart that will work miracles in your life. Proverbs 4:20 says “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” God’s Word has to get into your heart.
Next, you need to learn to confess; practice bold confessions. Confidently confess the power that is in the blood and what the blood can do for you. Take the Word and begin to confess what it says concerning you. If you do that, your faith in the blood of Jesus will develop. When it develops, when the enemy shows up, because you have taken time to put the word of God on the inside of you, what is going to come out of you is faith in the blood. That will become a shield of protection for you. Often times, the first words you speak when you are in danger will determine the outcome of what happens. Finally, praise God daily, for what the blood has accomplished in your life.
If you have not yet accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, my prayer today is that you will make Christ your Lord and Savior right now. He will help you forgive and forget. If you have done so, please let me know how I can support your growth in Christ. If you need prayer, please click here.
God Bless You!

The blood of Jesus,
God’s Redemptive Lamb, has brought us before His throne of Grace, to received God’s favourable blessings, in Christ Jesus.( Heb.10:19-23).(Galatians 3:13-14)
From the covenant blessings of God in Christ,redemptive blood, comes our justifications, and victories, with all sanctifications.(Romans 5:8-9).
In a war torned country, with angry, warriors, arresting and killing brutally, we were favoured against their wraths— “Iam justified by the blood of Jesus, and set free from the wraths, of God, men and Devils.”
If God, has set me free from his wrath, by the blood of Jesus, than why must I be punished by any other form of wraths ?
The very soldiers, and warriors, took shelter under my roof and later, received Christ as their Lord and Saviour. I had a big faimly instead, of big angry killers..
A man came to me and said, “Evangelist, you must go to prison.. just after our early morning devotion, stands Police at my door to take me to Prison.
My crime; “I should leave the house, in which I occupied,” now, because a new Government was in authority, and they need the house.” My answered, please give us a week to find a new house ? “No, you must leave or go to prison, now.” ….
Well, Lord I plead the blood of Jesus, to the conscience of these men, against every evil, and dead works and ungodliness of the Devil, in their minds working against me , I cancelled all those accusing thoughts with the blood of Jesus, now..” Hebrews 9:14/ 9:11-15.
“What did you say, nothing…….just talking to my Lord.”
And then an order came, to release me now!!!
“Evangelist, sorry it was an error.” Was it ?
Well, indeed it was……… by his blood, I live where I want to live, and move out at anytime…….possesed my inheritance, erase every accusations written against me, claimed every inheritance belonging to me, converts the most hardened sinner…… Colosians 2:12-15.
There’s power in the blood, there is miracle in the blood, there’s healing in the blood, ‘there is deliverance in the blood,……… and there is eternal life, in Christ Jesus in the blood etc
The appropriation of the blood, by faith in it, shall bring you desires results, and it is not a fairy tale, but miracules.
Learn about the Holy, redemtive blood of Jesus, as Bishop has rightfully told you, and learn how to applied it by faith, to your life’s situations, and challenges of the enemies, see your victories….
Have faith in Jesus blood!!!
Stay blessed!!!!
Thank you Bishop!!!
