WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL
BY BISHOP MIKE OKONKWO
SATURDAY MAY 23rd 2026
TOPIC: THE BLOOD IS POWERFUL
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” 1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV
We serve a great God! When He shuts, no one opens. When He opens, no one shuts. He can kill. He can make alive. He can make and unmake. He can build and destroy. He can wound and heal. He is the one who laid the beams of His chambers upon the waters and rides upon the wings of the wind like a chariot.
He stretched the heavens like a curtain, laid the foundation stone of the earth, and said it should never be moved. He created a barrier between water and land, and said water should never go into land. He is your rock, your shield, your buckler, your strong tower, your way maker, and your bridge over troubled waters. He is your salvation and your high tower.
And this great God has redeemed you with the precious blood of the lamb that is without spot and without blemish. We overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb. Claim it as you travel, or as you face challenges. The blood of Jesus works for me.
The blood of sprinkling speaks blessing, victory, breakthrough, and open doors in my life. The destroyer was passing, but when he came to your door, he saw the blood and moved to another house. The blood is speaking for you. That is why I know that you will soon testify.
Because of the shed blood, I declare that it is well with you. It is well with your family and your business. It is well with your health and all your endeavours. Any altar that is being serviced for you not to see the goodness of God in the land of the living is dismantled.
I release favour in your life. No more delays. You will pursue, overtake, and recover all. You can’t be serving God and be at the mercy of the world. Creation will answer to you.
