These are the days to wake and pray. God's Mercy and salvation are new every morning. To maintain the righteousness, holiness and faith, you need to work out your salvation everyday. You need a fresh anointing everyday! When you're committed to God, you'll experience His presence.
Exodus 12:8 - Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
The significance of Moses leaving his sandals behind, is God telling him that his past is now left behind. He left Egypt and His wandering was finally over. When Moses’ thoughts left, he got the presence of God's thoughts and Moses was divinely changed on the inside.
Moses saw the inner being of God in the burning bush. When Moses saw the fire of God, it entered inside Moses in a supernatural way and he was never the same again.
God wants you to be a seeker of his presence like Moses. Moses sought the presence eof God and saw the inner being of God which dwelled inside him. One man with God is majority. When you're with God, you're more powerful than an army.
Moses said, "Let my people go.” (Egypt was the centre of idolatoy and witch craft.) He said my people because he had seen the inner being of God and Israelites are God's people. This represents that Moses got God's heart too. Moses walked like God and stood before the Pharoh. He now not only has God's thoughts but has His actions too.
The magicians turned the rods into snakes and then it was Moses’ turn. Moses had the rod in his hand. If he had only trusted God without planning to do anything about it, he would have left the place in defeat. Instead, Moses threw the rod, which turned into a huge snake and swallowed up the magicians’ snakes. Moses defeated the snakes of the kingdom of Pharoah by the power of God. All the wicked that are against you will be swallowed up by the power of God.
“Let my people go”, this statement should be in your heart. Your people, your neighbours are under bondage. You need to talk to them because when God saved you, He saved you for a purpose. This is the time that you've to develop yourself to talk to people about God. If you want to be saved, you need to save others.
Miracles, signs and wonders, prayers and fasting will not set you out of bondage. There's only one way and that is the Blood of the Lamb. No bondage can stand in front of the Lamb of God. The Blood of the Lamb saved Adam and Eve, blessed Abel and saved Issac and Jacob. If you want to be successful and prosperous and victorious, only the Blood of the Lamb can do it! The devil is scared of the Blood and bondage can stand before it.
Now, it's not only trusting God, but putting it into action. The Blood of the Lamb should be applied on every doorpost.
When Jesus died on the cross, it was for Jerusalem, Palestine and Egypt. The Blood of the Lamb which was slain on the cross was to take away the sin of the whole world. Moses was limited but Jesus is unlimited. The Blood of the Lamb is for all of the Earth. The Blood has saved us and there is power in the Blood of Jesus. Trusting is applying the blood of Jesus Christ.
When the Blood of the Lamb is upon the door post, the angel of Death will pass from it without harming the first born inside. The spirit of death which has been sent against you, upon seeing the Blood of the Lamb, will strike the one who has hurt you instead. Satan in the invisible cannot work against you. Only the devil can seen the Blood of the Lamb but there's power in your word when you apply it. This is called Faith in action.
Matthew 26:26 “And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
When Jesus took the bread and broke it, there's a significance behind it. It's the Messianic bread (The messiah’s bread) which us supposed to be eaten with bitter herbs. Why did God ask to break the bread and dip it in bitter herbs? (Exodus 12:8) Because the people being selfish, forget how God brought them out of slavery in Egypt. The bitterness will remind them of how God saved them through the Blood of the Lamb.
Jesus asks us to break the bread because He has saved us from the slavery of sin. When Israel ate the bread, they remembered their redemption from slavery. When we eat the bread we remember the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. As long as you're in slavery, you’ll keep building pyramids for somebody. You were brought out of slavery, and now your names have been written in the book of Life. You were vegabonds but now you have the company of Jesus. God is reminding you that when the bread is broken, you should remember his broken body on the cross. It's a reminder from God to us.
We always complain about the things of the past. When we break the bread we remember that our stories about “Onnce upon a time” is gone. God has taken you out of your past and blessed you into the future for His coming. Are you still living in the past and eating the bread dipped in bitterness or drinking the sweet wine which is the Blood of Jesus.
Jesus took the anger of God upon him and therefore do not take the bread and cup lightly. The priest used to take the bread and burn the meat outside just as Jesus was taken outside to Jerusalem to be hung on the cross. Jesus was kept aside for the wrath of God. He is the bread of life who came down from heaven for us and the one who eats this bread will not die but have eternal life.
