Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the founder and president of LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy spoke about using the blood of Jesus in prayer. In a Q&A session, he was asked by Pastor Chinwe, “Pastor, I thank God for your life. Your teachings have impacted my life and that of my family positively, and I thank you very much. My question is about the blood of Jesus. Is it right to pray with it? For example, covering your house, children and so on with the blood of Jesus.”
According to him, this is one of those many things that a lot of Christians have wrongly applied to their lives because of ignorance. They go shouting the blood of Jesus, and they say “I sprinkle the blood of Jesus.” He said that you don’t have the authority to sprinkle the blood of Jesus. In fact, where did you get the blood from? You have no access to that blood. Jesus Christ presented His blood to God in Heaven, in the Most Holy Place in Heaven, at the Mercy Seat in Heaven. You have no access to it. Only the High Priest could sprinkle the blood, only the High Priest.
Speaking further, he said that you’ve got to understand that. And before the office of that High Priest was established, Moses was the one who sprinkled everything with the blood of calves back in the Old Testament. This is very important. Who has the right to sprinkle the blood? It’s not the Christians sprinkling the blood on themselves or on anyone else. It’s just the talk; they have no access to the blood.
Finally, he said that it’s very important that you realize it, so those who say it are just talking. It’s like saying “twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.” It doesn’t mean anything when you say I sprinkle the blood of Jesus Christ. You don’t have it and you can’t sprinkle it. So it makes no sense to say it.
