TOPIC: Apply The Blood For Progress (TREM Devotional 2 September 2025)

“Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.” – Deuteronomy 11:24 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

Beloved, why did the blood flow from the pierced feet of Jesus? It was so that you can make progress in life. His blood was shed to break stagnation, delay, and the cycle of near-success syndrome. You are not designed to go around in circles, you are ordained to move forward!

Many times, traditions or family patterns try to impose limitations: “In our family, people always experience delay in marriage, career, or advancement.” But that was then! The day Jesus shed His blood, you were delivered from every negative family trait. You no longer belong to their cycle, you belong to Christ.

Think of the prodigal son. Even though he was wasteful, he remembered: “I am still a son. The blood of my father runs in me. If I go back, he cannot refuse me.” (Luke 15:17-20). If in the natural, blood ties are powerful, how much more your covenant blood relationship with God through Jesus Christ! The devil cannot hold you back when you walk in the revelation of the blood of Jesus.

Beloved, God intends for you to make progress; it is your covenant right! Wherever the soles of your feet shall tread, God has given it to you. You will not be lost in the crowd. Confusion and wilderness experiences are ending in your life. You will no longer run in circles.

Every adversary will fall before you. Your ground will yield increase. You will advance, you will be distinguished, and you will become great.

Opportunity carriers will be drawn to you in your workplace and in your business. You will not miss your timing. In the very place where others said you could not succeed, God will open new doors of favor and promotion for you.
