The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION: OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION IS DONE!
“For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.
There is this very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the crucifixion and death, the burial and resurrection, and the ascension and enthronement, of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – it’s for this truth, about our restoration to Dominion that was once lost in EDEN now found by the CROSS for our REDEMPTION.
“And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . . 17 And ye shall OBSERVE the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye OBSERVE this day in your generations by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .24 And ye shall OBSERVE this thing for an ORDINANCE to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the LAND which the Lord will GIVE you, according as he hath PROMISED, that ye shall KEEP this SERVICE. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, WHAT MEAN YE BY THIS SERVICE? 27 that ye shall say, It is the SACRIFICE of the Lord’s PASSOVER, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and DELIVERED our houses. And the people BOWED the head and WORSHIPPED . . .” Exodus 12:14-28.
The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done by an act of faith and faithfulness toward God for the deliverance, emancipation and redemption of the Israelites from the horrors and bondages that was in the then Egypt [Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36]; and to uniquely set apart as a MARKED out people and to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE His good and goodness toward His people, indicating of the deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS.
PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).
That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.
Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture:
“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.
PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.
“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20.
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 THROUGH FAITH HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned” Exodus 11:24-29.

“For though he was CRUCIFIED through weakness, yet he liveth by THE POWER OF GOD. For we also are weak in him, but WE SHALL LIVE WITH HIM BY THE POWER OF GOD toward you” 2 Corinthians 13:4.
The PASSOVER feast was INSTITUTED by God, but first OBSERVED and Celebrated in Egypt.

PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigor and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a FORESHADOW of what Christ has now done for us, as the PASSOVER Lamb that is sacrifice – CRUCIFIED – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvelous light and the Kingdom of His graciousness and gracefulness – Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 1:3-5.
That’s the essence of the COMMUNION services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.

“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me . . . 35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus” John 1:29-30, 35-37.

WELCOME TO REDEMPTION MONTH – APRIL & EASTER 2023: MONTH OF ENSURING OUR DOMINON IN REDEMPTION!
In the Gregorian and Julian calendar, Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year respectively. It is the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month April is associated with springtime, new beginnings, and a time to bloom, refresh and rejuvenate.
For me and many OTHERS in Christ Jesus stead, Month APRIL 2023 is typified to enact and rekindle our REDEMPTION, hence I see it as our REDEMPTION MONTH accompanied with the EASTER holiday, in the commemoration and celebration of the CRUCIFIXION, DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION, ASCENSION and ENTHRONEMENT of Our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus. Amen.
And Jesus Christ is our REDEMPTION. In Him and through Him, our lost dominion have been restored. It’s now our place in Him to ensure it in our day to day living, hence the Month theme is entitled: ENSURING OUR – DOMINON IN REDEMPTION!
When you don’t act to enact and authenticate what you are and have become of God in Christ Jesus stead, then the enemy and cohorts will PREY over you to dominate you and make you their vehicle of use to achieve their purpose outside your God’s set PURPOSE for your Dominion over all THINGS that pertains to life and godliness – godly living.
Ensuring your DOMINION in REDEMPTION is about APPROPRIATING and ENACTING our REDEMPTION – in Christ Jesus, as a DONE DEED – in all that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS. This becomes possible when you Know and understand these:
** You can never operate in DOMINION when you are UNWILLING to ENSURE it by the enabling GRACE in Redemption.
** The KINGDOM will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to PLACE a DEMAND upon in REDEMPTION. Where there’s NO ACT OF FAITH to place a DEMAND of who you are in grace, there’s NO enforcing upon you, to enable you to reign in DOMINION; otherwise you will not be able to actualize, enact and authenticate who you are in redemption.
** KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your DOMINON position in REDEMPTION, gives the rights and privileges to access and to enjoy your wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.
Therefore, as we’ve stepped into this REDEMPTION Month APRIL, ensure to Celebrate and Commemorate the essence of our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus in Crucifixion and Death, Burial and Resurrection, Ascension and Enthronement for your wholesome REDEMPTION, in order to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY in Him. Amen.
It’s my heartfelt prayers of love, that you will ensure your place of Dominion in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
BLESSED REGARDS IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN REDEMPTION.

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV.
“In whom we have REDEMPTION through HIS BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of His Grace” Ephesians 1:7.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more DOMINION over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:8-14.
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the WORKS of thy hands; thou hast put all things UNDER his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.
“And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy BLOOD out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 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” Revelation 5:9-12.
“But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the POWER of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they OVERCAME him by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD of their TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION, is the very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the Crucifixion, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension and Enthronement of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.
“For though he was CRUCIFIED through weakness, yet he liveth by THE POWER OF GOD. For we also are weak in him, but WE SHALL LIVE WITH HIM BY THE POWER OF GOD toward you” 2 Corinthians 13:4.
The PASSOVER feast was INSTITUTED by God, but first OBSERVED and Celebrated in Egypt. And it’s done as an act of FAITH and FAITHFULNESS toward God for the deliverance of Israelites and to MARK and ENACT the people of God’s deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS – Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36.
PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a FORESHADOW of what Christ has now done for us, as the PASSOVER Lamb that is sacrifice – CRUCIFIED – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light and the Kingdom of His graciousnesss and gracefulness – Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 1:3-5.
That’s the essence of the COMMUNION services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me . . . 35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; 36 and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD! 37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus” John 1:29-30, 35-37.
“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.
“Then came the day of UNLEAVENED BREAD, when the PASSOVER must be KILLED. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the PASSOVER, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20

BLESSED REDEMPTION: The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL of REDEMPTION!
This is the very simple reason to celebrate and commemorate the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.
The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done as an act of faith and faithfulness towards God for the deliverance of Israelites (Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36), to MARK and ENACT the people of God’s deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised blessing.
PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration, and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour, and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).
That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.
Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture:
“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.
PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did.
