Jesus was slain, to receive for humanity what was lost by the first Adam. This is a redemption value in the blood.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and open the seals thereof:

for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood…And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders…

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Revelations 5:9,11,12

He Received Power

He did not need power, He received it for us. He has always been the Almighty. Thus, power is available by the blood; you do not have to be a weakling anymore.

He Received Riches.

After the passover blood, Pharaoh surrendered the power. Then God gave Israel favor, and they spoiled the Egyptians – that is, the Israelites were decked with riches! When Jesus died, He repeated the same passover episode – by His blood. Power was delivered to us, which is to force our enemies to surrender (Psalm 66:2). By the blood, therefore, all our enemies surrender automatically.

Now concerning Israel in Exodus, after the blood made their enemies to surrender, favor gave them riches.

He Received Wisdom

Then came wisdom. Wisdom showed them the way to go. After they left Egypt, Pharaoh pursued after them. Face to face with the Red Sea, God’s wisdom came to show them how to cross the sea without a bridge. By the blood, the wisdom of God is available for us in every conflict of life. Remember “Wisdom is profitable to direct” (Ecclesiastes 10:10).

He Received for us Strength

Strength, like that of an unicorn, was the portion of the children of Israel, as they journeyed through the wilderness to Canaan. None among their tribes was feeble. By the blood of Jesus, we can put an end to weakness in our bodies.

If the blood had such powerful effects in the Old Testament, now imagine its effects today. If the shadow was so powerful, imagine the reality of the covenant. You do not need to spend your money to tame sickness anymore.

The blood is the answer! The blood is able to give you instant, on-the-spot deliverance from any form of sickness and disease.

He Received for us Honor

While the children of Israel journeyed through the wilderness, God gave them honor all the way. They did not need to beg anyone for anything. They were supernaturally provided for. They ate manna that they did not prepare by themselves. When they needed water, it came out of the rock for them.

He Received Glory

You have been justified, by the blood of Jesus, to live the glorious life. As those spies appeared to Rahab, she testified, “For we have heard…” (Joshua 2:10). Because He has received for you honour and glory, no one can despise or reject you anymore. People will begin to see the good hand of your God upon you. The price is paid for your liberty, and this price guarantees a glorious life. Look at the blood as the price for that glorious life. So, whatever is not glorious in your life, you can challenge with the blood – the receipt of your purchase.

“You have been bought with a price: (the Blood of Jesus therefore glorify God in your body, and your spirit, which are God’s.” I Corinthians 6:20

There is no attack of the devil that can cross the bloodline. Whatever does not carry the aroma of God in your life, challenge it with the blood.

And He Received Blessings.

Who then can curse whom the Lord has blessed?

These are the manifold redemptive values of the blood. He was slain to receive these seven-fold blessings for us – to restore to us all that was lost in Adam. The blood is our resident permit in Eden!…
