CHRIST IS OUR PERFECT SACRIFICE

“Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us” Hebrews 9:12 (KJV)
Whenever a sacrifice is on the altar, the devil is in trouble. Whenever a sacrifice is on the altar there is nothing the enemy can do about it. By the reason of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ on your behalf, there is nothing that can stop you.
The powers of hell are dismantled when there is a sacrifice on the altar. When Jesus hung on the cross as a sacrifice, the powers of hell were dismantled. Therefore the Bible declares in the book of 1John 5:4-5: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”. We walk in victory and dominion because of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
That is why you cannot afford to play with your commitments in the service of God. Your commitment, your dedication, and your faithfulness in serving the Lord is a sacrifice. Every time you are getting involved with the things that have to do with the service of God, you are building an altar. Your sacrifice speaks! Your sacrifice serves as a defense against satanic operations.
The perfect sacrifice of Jesus is perpetually speaking over your life. The sacrifice that has been made is completely complete and perfectly perfect. Nothing can be added! And nothing can be removed. Jesus has been sacrificed for us and because of it, there is nothing the devil can bring against you that has the capacity to stop you. The perfect sacrifice purchased our eternal Redemption.
This is the time to be bold, bodacious, and brutal in our declarations of who we are and what God has made available to us. Our boldness is predicated upon the perfect sacrifice of Jesus. The price has been fully paid. Your part is to believe it and appropriate the blessings that accompany your redemption.
