FOP/BSS/008 THE BLOOD

TOPIC:  THE BLOOD
TEXT: Hebrews 9: 11-14,20-28
MEMORY VERSE: Hebrews 9:14

INTRODUCTION
The life of every living being is in its blood (Lev 17:11) and God has always placed great significance on blood .
All through the old testament the blood of animals were shed for cleansing and purification (which were temporary) as required by the law. The high priest was required by law to present the blood in the most holy place for the atonement of all people and this he did yearly.
Jesus Christ came to fulfil the law when His blood was shed  and He by Himself went once and  for all into the most holy place in heaven to offer His own blood for the remission of man’s sin.
The potency of the blood of Jesus  goes beyond its ability to cleanse, it also delivers, protects, preserves, just to mention a few. Our understanding of the power of  the blood and its significance to us places us in a good position  to maximize its power.

EVALUATIONS

1.  Uniqueness of the blood 
(Here, we examine why the blood of Jesus is unmatched by every other blood in time and eternity)
a. I peter 2:22, Heb 4:15
b. Rev 5 :2-5
c. Gen 3:15, Matt 1:18-20
d. Heb 12:24, Rev 6:9-10

2.  Significance of the blood
(In this evaluation, we gladly bring ourselves to understand, grasp, and appropriate the potency and significance of the priceless blood of the Lord Jesus)
a. I John 1:7, Rev 1:5
b. Acts 20:28, I Peter 1:18-19
c. Col 1:20, Eph 2:13
d. Rom 5:9
e. Exo. 12:13, Heb 9 :14
f. Rev. 12:11
g. Heb 10:19

CONCLUSION
The blood of Jesus is an indispensable weapon that has been given to the believer; in fact it forms the basis for the believer’s faith. To negate  the power of the blood or to belittle it, is for the believer to carve out his own undoing; while to appreciate and highly place the blood  is to an understanding that brings to bear the manifestation  of the force in the blood.
Walking in the consciousness of the power of the blood  will guarantee ultimate victory for the believer.
SHALOM!

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...
