Sunday 3rd Service | 9th-Feb-25 | Pr. Robert Kayanja
In Ephesians 1:7, Apostle Paul writes to the people of Ephesus, whom Jesus knew, and I presume they also knew Him. These were the same people Jesus instructed John to write to their angel, as recorded in Revelation 2:1. Every church of Jesus has an angel. I pray that you will become an angel in this church. I also pray that God will grant you a personal angel. Every believer must have an angel. Some of your angels are elderly, but may God give you one who is youthful. Angels will be with you in the lion’s den, in the storm, and will encourage you in moments of uncertainty, just as they did for Jesus. May the ministry of angels be activated in your life. Declare it with faith, “My angel, where are you?”
Mary had an angel—Gabriel—who changed her life. Jesus had many angels: those who guarded His tomb, those who ministered to Him in prayer, and even an angel who struck down a man hindering Paul’s preaching. You also have an angel who knows how to fight for you!
Jesus instructed John to write, “Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” (Revelation 2:1-4)
These people were holy, righteous, committed, and actively serving God. They discerned spirits, exposed false apostles, labored for Jesus, won souls, expanded churches, and demonstrated patience. Yet, Jesus said, “I have one thing against you—you have left your first love.” This church was prosperous, but despite their works, they had abandoned their first love.
This realization struck me deeply. Jesus addressed only seven churches, though many existed. He promised, “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18), yet He acknowledged only seven. The churches in Rome and Corinth were present, but He didn’t write to them. I pray that God will know us. May Jesus recognize us here at Miracle Centre. You are a church too—may God know you! The fact that Jesus did not write to the churches in Rome or Corinth was sobering. This year, the Lord knows us and has written to us: This is the year of the house of bread. This is the year of wealth creation. This is the year we become billionaires. This is the year we shake the world for His glory. This is the year of the anointing.
So, what is the first love? These Ephesians loved God and did the right things, yet they abandoned their first love. Apostle Paul helps us understand in Ephesians 1:7: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”
This scripture reveals five things:
- In Him (Jesus)
- Redemption
- The Blood
- Forgiveness of Sins
- The Riches of His Grace
What are the riches of His grace? Many do not fully understand Grace. Genesis 6:8 tells us that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Through grace, Noah repopulated the earth with three sons: Ham (Black), Shem (White), and Japheth (Mongolian)—the three ethnic groups of humanity. Grace led to multiplication and dominion. I declare, you will fill the earth through your children. They will be mighty, and your grandchildren will be world-changers. Your life will be blessed both in the city and the village. That is what grace does—it makes you a blessing!
We are here today because Jesus forgave our sins. We already have redemption – it is not something we will receive—it is something we already have! Your riches—your land, your house, your car—are already yours. Even if you don’t know where they are, today, you will locate them. Just as your passport exists before your name is printed on it, your blessings exist before they manifest. Through His blood, we have redemption and the riches of His grace! Declare it: “I have my stuff!”
Why the Blood?
When Adam sinned, God shed an animal’s blood to buy him time and cover him (Genesis 3:21). Blood had to be shed so that Adam would not die that day. The blood of Jesus, far greater than that of animals, grants us eternal life. Jesus’ blood, you will live long, be covered, and be protected from your enemies.
Noah sacrificed after the flood, and through the blood offering, he repopulated the earth (Genesis 8:20). Through the blood of Jesus, you and your family shall possess the earth! David sacrificed animals every six steps while bringing the Ark to Jerusalem, and Israel became invincible. The blood of Jesus brings anointing and power—no witchcraft can stand against you! Cain, after killing Abel, approached God under the covering of his brother’s blood (Genesis 4:12-15). Similarly, Jacob wore Esau’s clothes to receive the blessing. Today, we wear the blood of Jesus, so when God looks at us, He sees Christ (Hebrews 12:24). The blood will speak for you! When the Israelites applied blood to their doorposts, death passed over them (Exodus 12:7). Under the blood of Jesus, diseases like Ebola, COVID-19, and others shall bypass you! Just as Israel received gold and silver from the Egyptians, you will not go through life empty-handed. May God give you wealth and provision through the blood of Jesus!
So, where do we find the blood?
- The Garden of Gethsemane: – Jesus’ sweat became drops of blood in prayer. Every believer needs a personal “garden” not of fruit but of prayer, where miracles are birthed through intercession. (Luke 22:44). Prayer activates miracles.
- When His Beard Was Plucked (Isaiah 50:6): Blood flowed from His face, signifying restoration of vision, wisdom, and favor. May the blood of Jesus bring wisdom and vision to you! (Numbers 6:24).
- The Whipping Post (John 19:1) – His blood speaks in governments, courts of law, and boardrooms. The blood will go ahead of you and open doors. Declare: “Blood of Jesus, go ahead of me!”
- The Journey to Golgotha – As Jesus carried the cross, He bled along the way. The blood makes a way for you. Declare, “A new way is opening for me!” Say like you mean it: “I have a new way!”
- His Hands and Feet Were Pierced (Deuteronomy 11:24, 28:8) – Fulfilling Deuteronomy 11:24 and 28:8—wherever you step, you shall possess, and whatever you touch shall be blessed!
- The Crown of Thorns (John 19:34) – Blood from His head signifies wisdom and dominion. You are the head, not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13)!
- His Side Was Pierced (John 19:34) – Blood flowed for divine partnerships and helpers. Just as Eve came from Adam’s side, your (destiny) helpers will be revealed through the blood of Jesus.
Declare the Blood of Jesus!
Plead His blood over your life and begin to PRAY! We overcome by the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 12:11).
Through His blood:
- We receive anointing.
- We receive healing.
- Our miracles, houses, cars—everything we need—is in the blood!
- Even missing body (spare) parts can be restored through the blood!
In 7 to 21 days, the Lord told me that people will be building, buying cars, and experiencing breakthroughs. Ask in Jesus’ name whatever you need and you shall receive it within 60 minutes!
Bless the Lord for the Blood of Jesus! When the blood is upon you, you will never lose power!
