The Blood that Speaketh Better Things (Heb 12: 24)

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel

Dear Reader,
The most expensive transactions of life is conducted in the spirit realm. In the realm of the spirit, voices speak for or on behalf of men and voices speak against men. For instance, when Job was to be tested, a voice of affirmation spoke in honor of the loyalty of Job to his king and Lord while a voice of condemnation spoke in opposition of that affirmation. When the body of Moses was being contended for by satan there was an argument between satan and Michael. Moses was by then just a log of wood because his earthly body is in a rotting state already. There was no way he could speak for himself and even if he could, that conversation was taking place in the spiritual realms. In his defense, Michael spoke a word of rebuke to the devil saying “the Lord rebuke thee”- Jude 1:9 .

Men and Brethren, who is speaking on your behalf? In rooms that you cannot enter who is speaking on your behalf? In the nights when you sleep as a log of wood who is advocating your case in the realms of the spirit? Who is actively conducting the spiritual transactions of the night and negotiating in your favour? In faculties and places where your matter is being discussed who is pleading your cause?

Secondly, who is speaking over your life as a shepherd and watchman? I remember the story shared by Nigeria’s Vice President Prof Yemi Oshinbajo when he had a plane crash. He had been called by his spiritual father that morning. Daddy Adeboye had shared with him what the Lord showed him of the evil that was to happen later in the day and then he spoke a word of prayer on his life. He reassured him the Lord had averted all evils. Later that evening on the campaign trail there was a plane crash that almost took his life. But, just as the Lord had spoken all evils were averted- nothing lost, nothing missing. Fathers are coverings. When the Lord gifts you a fatherly watch it is often another layer of cover.

Dear Reader, blood represents the very essence of life. The Bible speaking in Lev 17: 11 says the life of the flesh is in the blood. When medical practitioners want to examine diseases they take a sample of the blood. The gene types of a human being are defined by the blood. When a man loses a lot of blood, he dies. Blood represents the life of a man.

We need to understand the various effects that a blood can have in the spiritual dimension. There is a blood of vengeance. When a man, a people or a nation spill blood of innocent men the blood of such an innocent man may call for vengeance. This was the case with Abel. (Gen 4) His brother Cain had killed him out of jealousy. When Abel was killed and his blood spilled, his blood cried for revenge. Today, in a nation like Nigeria the blood of many innocent people is crying for vengeance. Many people have died extra-judicially and innocently and their blood is asking for vengeance. May God heal our country in Jesus’ name.

There is a blood of redemption and mercy. The bible taught of the principle of substitutionary sacrifice.

Apostle John speaking in (1 John 2:1-2) says “…If any man sin. We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.” The blood of men may speak vengeance and rebuke but please note dear reader that the blood of Jesus is always seeking mercy for us his children.

Whatever condemnation you may have from men, whatever charge is against you, don’t ever forget that Jesus paid it in full. He went to the cross because he intended to be your substitution. Don’t carry the burdens of your life all by yourself. Don’t carry the weight of your sin all by yourself. Your problem is not the biggest. Your sin is not the worst. He has given murderers and men who had hit the rock bottom a new beginning. He changed their lives. He can do same for you. Suicide can NEVER be the solution. It would lead you to hell. Self pity and native doctors can never be the solution. They would put you in a deeper hole. Jesus is the only solution. He is your very efficacious substitution. Come to him today if you do labour and are heavy laden and he would give you rest.

Happy new month
