Passover 2017
The Passover begins April 11th 2017 and ends
17/18 of April 2017. If in the USA it ends 18th of April 2017 while
the rest of the world the Passover period ends on the 17th of April.
The time of the Passover is a period of a change of seasons and
the opportunity to address the heavens and intercede for various matters:
1.
Generational
deliverance from demonic bondage's
The deliverance of the Israelites was a generational deliverance. Were we to calculate from today how many
years they had been slaves if the deliverance was to take place in the year
2017, they would have been slaves from 1587.
That is how long the nation had been in slavery, depression, poverty,
under the taskmasters control and influence.
Their deliverance was in one night.
Indeed there is nothing that is difficult for the Lord. It does not
matter how long your situation has lasted, ( it cannot be longer than 400
years) nevertheless God is able to deliver
2.
Deliverance
of Nations from wicked taskmasters that bind them
During this time of Passover a new nation was born. The nation of Israel. God rescued them from a 430 year slavery and
caused them to be a people to reckon with.
There was new leadership in the nation, with Moses and Aaron leading them
away from Pharaoh and his government. It
is time to stand in the gap for our nation’s deliverance and especially as we
are preparing for elections. Let this
time stand before the Lord as we request for righteous, God fearing, and sober
men as leaders. God did it for the
Israelites he can do it for us.
The people in that nation changed identity from slaves to free
people. There was freedom from wicked
taskmasters that used to cause them to labour with little or no results.
The Lord is interested in delivering Nations especially during this
time. When Christ died during the
Passover it is interesting to note that the Jews at that time were being ruled
by Herod and were not free people themselves.
The scenario was repeating itself.
In the Old Testament, the people were physically relocated to a new
land. In the New Testament there was no physical relocation but Christ was
recognized as the king of the Jews. A
new order had been established. A new
kingdom with a king was established The death and resurrection of Christ
ushered in a new kingdom Revelation 5:10 “Now we have been made priests and
kings to rule on earth” This was effected during the Passover time
3.
Divine
supernatural Wealth transfer
The children of Israel who had been slaves for 430 years left Egypt with
its wealth. This was in silver, gold and
precious stones. This was wealth they
had not inherited, they had not worked for, or labored for, they had not
invested in a project, or seized a money making opportunity. It simply was divine and supernatural
wealth. This raised their economic level
to that of other nations around them.
They suddenly had a financial voice, they were not dependent on other
nations to make it.
God used the wealth he gave them to create a channel for generation
wealth for the Israelite's by the giving of various offerings. Thereafter in the book of Leviticus he
prescribes the various offerings that they were to bring to the Lord . The offerings provided a channel for
continuous blessings of wealth to be established for this young nation that had
just been born.
The wealth also allowed them to buy water and food from hostile nations
that they met on their sojourn to the Promised Land.
The wealth they acquired also allowed them to build a tabernacle for the
Lord
The wealth they acquired was also a fulfillment of the covenant God had
made with their fore fathers when he said he will bless them. (Genesis 12:2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing
) .
The entire Nation of Israel was blessed, not a few individuals, not a
hundred Israelite's, it was the whole nation. The Lord is able to make an entire
Nation prosper as he did to the Israelite's. He did it and he can do it
again. There is nothing that is too
difficult for the Lord. When you look at
the offerings they gave for the tabernacle building you can see that these were
not poor people.
Petition the Lord for divine supernatural wealth during this period, for
yourself, your family, your descendants and the nation of Kenya.
Genesis 2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations
for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.” Ask for
wealth for your nation , that which will reach every single Kenyan. He did it before he can do it again.
In Deut 8:18 “ and you shall
remember the Lord your God for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that
he may establish His covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this
day.” The Israelites already had
experienced supernatural wealth from the Lord during the Passover period.
4.
Permanent
Annihilation of Strongmen In Our Lives, Families, and, Nations
Pharaoh was killed in the ensuring pursuant of the Israelites when he
attempted to step into the miracle of the Red sea to seize them back. Pharaoh was never to be seen again or heard
of thereafter. When He pursued them into
the Red Sea He still saw the Israelites as his slaves, and he pursued them
thinking to take them back as he owned them.
For 430 years Pharaohs had been gods to themselves there was no one
greater, and they had been no intervention from any one for 430 years. Pharaoh
did not know that the season had changed and this was Godly intervention. Exodus
14:13 And Moses said to the people, do not be afraid. Stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you
shall see again no more forever…”
God will permanently remove the strongmen that have been holding you back
for years on end. They may try to step
into your miracle of deliverance, but that is the last you shall see of them,
in your lives and your families. It is
interesting to note that even though the
children of Israel went into captivity due to their sin and disobedience
to God, never again were they held captive by Egypt and by a king pharaoh…. The
deliverance was permanent.!Glory to God.
That is your portion this Passover as you present that strongman that has
been defying and resisting the name of the Lord in your life, family,
bloodline, for years.
5.
Resurrection
of Dead Issues In Our Lives
When Christ died the bible records that the tombs were opened and many
saints were seen walking on the streets of Jerusalem. What deliverance! Colossians 1: 15 says that
Christ reconciled to himself everything. I believe that the blood stepped into the
grave and spoke for the saints allowing them access into the heavens and into
the presence of the Lord. It went down
past the years and resurrected the saints who had died thousands of years
ago. What power resides in the
blood. Every issue that has been dead ,
buried and forgotten in your life and your family, your nation, the blood of
Jesus is able to bring it to life. What
an opportunity for us to bring those things to the father during this special
time of Passover.
This is not to say that at other times the resurrection power of Christ
is diminished, but it is to say, that there is such grace and power available
at this time that we need to take advantage of it and change that which has
been defying the name of the Lord in our lives.
6.
Land
Deliverance
There was an earthquake and the tombs of the dead gave up the dead that
were in them. The earth responded to the
death of Christ with the earthquake. The
moment the blood of the Saviour hit the ground there was a supernatural event
that occurred. The blood of Jesus which
was supernatural caused the earth to tremble as it received it.
Are there issues in your land that have been outstanding and unresolved?
The earth has ears, it has records concerning us and our families. Jeremiah 22:29 says “o h earth, earth hear
the voice of the Lord”. During this
period, the earth has no choice but to respond to your voice and the voice of
the blood as it did during the time of the death of Christ.
7.
Heavens
Respond
The heavens responded to the death of Christ with darkness that lasted
three hours. This is similar to one of
the miracles that Moses performed when there was darkness that was felt in the
land of Egypt for three days. It was
such physical darkness that no one was able to move for three days from where
they were. The three hour darkness has been liken to an eclipse.
When the blood of the Savior hit the earth the heavens and the sun had a
physical change that said that there was a supernatural event that had and was
taking place on the earth. Genesis 1:14 then God said,” let there be
lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and
let them be for signs and season, and for days and years” Every time there is a change in the Sun or
the Moon or an unusual occurrence in the heavenlies we know that this is a sign
that there is a change of season that is being announced. The Son of God was redeeming the whole earth.
That was the change, a new order was being established.
Likewise for us it is a time to stand in agreement with the season that
it is time for a change in our lives, that the new season will bear only glad
tidings for us and our family
8.
Access
Into The Inner Chambers Of The Lord
When the Christ died on the cross and said that it is finished, the
curtain in the temple that divided the holy place from the rest of the temple
was divided into two. This symbolized
the access into the holy of holies for us through the blood of the Lamb. Therefore we can come boldly before the
throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and grace to help us in our time of
need. ( Heb 4:16)
It is time to petition and be granted mantles that hitherto before were
unavailable to you or to your bloodline.
Psalm 23:5 the Lord has prepared a table for you in the presence of your
enemies. In Isaiah 25:6 he has laid a choice feast for you. The bible says that the secret of the lord is
with them that fear him.
Petition for mantles, anointing, oil, gifts & talents that were
previously not operational in your life.
This is a time to petition and request to seat at the table of the Lord,
and to seat at a different table with kings, prophets, seers, and those whom
before you were not qualified to seat together with. The torn curtain and the blood of Jesus
qualifies us to access the table and the tables of the Lord.
9.
Dedication
Of The First Born.
The last miracle that the Lord performed prior to the removal of the
Israelites from Egypt was the killing of the first born child and animal of
every Egyptian family. The Angel of death passed by and where there was no
blood on the doorposts and the lintel of the house, he entered and the first
born of all animals and man were killed.
Thereafter he instructed Moses to dedicate the first born children and
animals to him because he spared them on that night. (Exodus 13:2 “Consecrate to me
all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both
of man and beast; it is mine.” )
It is an opportune time to dedicate your first born to the Lord during
this time of Passover. It is time to
declare the word of the Lord and release the anointing and blessing of the first
born over your child. First born
children are womb openers, barrier breakers, they spearhead new frontiers, they
are pioneers, pathfinders and creative innovators, they have a leadership mantle on them ( the first
born sons were traditionally given the kingdom to lead). First born children represent the beginning of
the strength of the family, dignity and excellency of dignity and power (Genesis
49:3 “Reuben thou art my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength,
the Excellency of dignity and the Excellency of power”)
It is an opportune time to align the first born of your family, bloodline
and generations to the purposes of God and decree the word of the Lord over
their lives.
10.
The
whole of heaven is on special standby
awaiting your prayer and petition to the Father
During the time of the Passover by the Israelites as they were rescued
from Egypt the bible records, that there was never a night like that one where
the whole of heaven stood to see that the Israelites left Egypt. (Exodus
12:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years on
that very same day – it came to pass that all the armies of the lord went out
from the land of Egypt”)
During the death of Christ, the testimony of Jesus was that there was a
whole legion of Angles that was at the disposal of Christ should he have had
need of them. God turned his face away
from his son as the whole of heaven watched.
The attention of heaven was on the events that were occurring on the
earth that night as was the first night.
Indeed the whole of heaven is awaiting your prayer, petition, decree,
declaration during this time. It is time
to pray and intercede for situations as the heavens are wide open during this
Passover time.
11.
A New
Beginning
In Exodus 12:2 “This month shall be
your beginning of months,; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The
calendar of the Jews begins in the time of the Passover. It was a fresh start for the Israelites in
their new found freedom, status, and location.
It is an opportunity for us to start afresh, with a clean slate. The blood of Jesus that was shed translated
us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.
If your year did not begin well or is showing signs of not going on well
this is the time you can align yourself again and speak a fresh start into your
year. Decree and declare the word of God
and it shall be well with you
Conclusion
I love it that God time and time again
provides for us a way back to him, opening windows and providing opportunity
for us to have access to that which we would not have access to. The importance of understanding times and
seasons is that we are able to pray in accordance to the season and take
advantage of the grace that the season has provided for us.
I believe that understanding of times and
season is one of the keys that the Lord has give to us to live a victorious
Christian life. My prayer is that may we
be found in the right place at the right time speaking the seasoned word of the
Lord. That our tongues shall be like those of the learned That we should know
how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. (Isaiah
50:4 “The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know
how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, he awaken
my ear to hear as the leaned.)”
Wonderful thank you for sharing
