DID YOU KNOW GOD HAS A COVENANT WITH YOU? (5)

Post date: Feb 15, 2019 4:48:09 AM

The covenant with Abraham outlived him, was so special, powerful, full of great promises, joy, hope, and instructions. God did not fail and Abraham did not disappoint God in his obedience and willingness and submissiveness to follow the instructions despite the pains associated and the many other things that happened to him. Things that are associated with successful Christians are endless determination, endless desires, and endless hope despising all odds that may arise and any disappointment that may follow. With a working and living covenant with God, He is calling you out and taking you to higher standards, a standard not compared to that of others before you and a standard that only Him can and will make possible. If the terms of any of the covenant you have are easy, then the covenant is from you, not from God; if the covenant does not change you and change things in and around you for good, then it is from you and not from God, if it will not hurt the devil decisively, then it is from you not from God; if it is not impossible with what you have and with who you are, then it is from you and not from God.

In God making a covenant, what God asked Noah to do was outside of Noah’s knowledge and capability but he believed God and started and God enabled him to finish it and used it to save him and his family. What God asked Abraham to do in His covenant with him was stupid to the ears and reasoning of humans wisdom and knowledge. God asking you to go to a place with no given name, with no specific address or direction to follow and commanded to only follow the instructions that will be given when the journey actually begins, and Abraham believing and setting out with his wife was beyond understanding and good human reasoning and wisdom, but God was fully ready to completely guide him throughout the time of his obedience to a place He had destined in His wisdom and made effective and available by His power. The God who spoke and guided Noah through instructions will also guide you as you trust Him. The God who by His power led and kept Abraham will do the same also with you. “By faith Abraham, when he was called by God, obeyed by going to a place which he was to receive as an inheritance; and he went, not knowing where he was going. By faith, he lived as a foreigner in the promised land, as in a strange land, living in tents as nomads with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise. For he was waiting expectantly and confidently looking forward to the city which has foundations, an eternal, heavenly city whose architect and builder is God.” Hebrews 11:8-10

Right from creation, God has made covenants with His children on earth and when His people respond to the covenants made with Him, they know what He expects and what blessings they will expect and have from Him and they did carry out the terms of the covenants and also receive the blessings of the covenant. The people who covenant with God are known as covenant children of God and they are always making difference till today. In obeying and following the covenant, Abraham refused to worship his father’s idols or follow their ways. Abraham diligently followed God commandments and because of his belief in the words of and terms of the covenant, it was counted to him as righteousness and he was called a righteous man.

God is not leaving you behind in His plans and desires. As God showed interest in Noah and in Abraham so is He showing interest in you today. God will reveal His covenant with you, He will enable it to start, and He will confirm it with His reward. When God desires something new with human beings, He starts with an individual and with a covenant. The reason being He is the God who alone honors and keeps all of His words and He wants you to know that by entering into a covenant with whoever He desires, it will be a different game from then on; the second reason being He wants you to know He never fails and will never fail, and the third being, He is always a covenant keeper who establishes all of His covenant irrespective of what the devil will ever do. Today is your day of His covenant revelation. Prayer Request Click here
