ACTIVATING YOUR DIVINE DESTINY (PART 1)

ACTIVATING YOUR DIVINE DESTINY (PART 1). JULY 14^th.

TEXT: Exodus 12:1-7, 11-17King James Version (KJV).

12 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.

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.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

¹⁶ And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.

¹⁷ And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

During the Passover, God told the children of Israel to observe the Passover with unblemished animal, unleavened bread and bitter herbs. The unblemished animal and unleavened bread were to point us to Christ, signifying the body a sacrifice without sin, and the bitter herbs serve as a reminder of their bitter agony in bondage in Egypt, which God brought to an end. For somebody using this devotional, I decree that because Christ our perfect sacrifice has atoned for you, today will be the last day you will shed bitter tears in Jesus name.

The children of Israel ate the Passover meal fully dressed, prepared for a journey; with their bags packed on their backs and their rods in hand, ready to leave Egypt. Your bondage shall be broken today in Jesus name. This is the year of glory and rest and you shall have yours. The only requirement is that you make up your mind to live for God by entering into a covenant with God.

When you enter into a covenant with God, it affects your entire family, and because of you, your family is secured. By this covenant, God will judge the power that has been holding your family down from one generation to the other. You will carry blessings that will be too much for you, so it will spill into the lives of those around you.

There are things that you cannot be selfish about, you cannot eat a whole cow by yourself, you need to look for people to join you. Something massive and extraordinary is about to happen and will be offloaded in your life. Each time you take the Passover meal, you activate the covenant and Jesus is glorified. Go for your blessing.
