Distinction by the Blood

On the last day of the great struggle from bondage the Lord told Israel that they had a part to play in their protection. He told them to kill a lamb and to put the blood of the said lamb on the two posts of the door and on the lintel. When the angel of death came in the night, he saw the blood and passed over them. That was on the 14th day of the month. Before that (I would assume on the 13th day of the month which was the day before) all the Israelite women had gone to the Egyptian homes and insisted that they hand over all their gold, silver and fine clothing. They were good and loaded and by this act they had plundered the Egyptians of their wealth.

The distinction was made by the blood of the Lamb as it is this day. The blood of Jesus, our Passover lamb, is the mark of distinction on us his children. Those who have the mark of the Lamb, washed in his blood and saved from sin, are in Goshen and shall enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Additionally, the Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is piled up for the righteous. It is handover time. What the Egyptians did not know as they stored up articles of silver, gold and fine clothes was that they were purchasing them for an Israelite sister and her family. Even now, it is so.

We are coming out of poverty and struggle and the Lord says “Don’t come out empty!” Ask for the hidden treasures in secret places. They exist. Call them out. Insist on a handover and let the wealth of the Nations come to you. It is interesting that the Lord says come out of the Land of poverty and do not come out empty. He used the country of Zimbabwe in my dream on purpose because even though the people are suffering such extreme poverty, the land itself is rich in metallurgical-grade chromite, coal, asbestos, copper, nickel, gold, platinum and iron ore. There are hidden treasures in secret places, so when you come out, don’t come out empty. Ask for your wealth.

The blood of Jesus is our mark of distinction. In this season, those of the house of the Lord, who have made the Lord their treasure shall rejoice in him and see what they have been waiting for. It is not time to compromise but to hold on in faith. Our season has changed child of God. Place a demand on the season and do what the season demands of you. Note that if the Israelites had chosen to ignore marking their entryways with the blood of the lamb they would have suffered the same fate as the Egyptians. What does this season demand of you? Do it and watch the blood of Jesus mark you for distinction.
