THE FOUNDATION OF COVENANT, (Part 3)
Posted by Robert Bagonza on Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Summary:
The only way to tap into the promises of God is to understand and practice covenant “details.” God is a covenant-keeping God, and He wants to perform the terms of His covenant; however, you must do your part, which is to believe, obey and rest in Him.
- Prosperity only responds to your understanding and practice of covenant details.
- What you don’t know and understand about your covenant will cost you (Hosea 4:6).
- If you are a stranger to your covenant, then you are without hope and without God in this world (Ephesians 2:11-2).
- If you are without hope, then you have
no reason to expect anything from God because you cannot hope for
something that you do not know exists.
- If you are a Christian, you can have hope because you are in covenant with God.
- If you are without hope, then you have
no reason to expect anything from God because you cannot hope for
something that you do not know exists.
- Understanding covenant details is the key to receiving your inheritance.
- Ignorance of your covenant limits God.
- God acts when you act (on the covenant).
- Ignorance of your covenant limits God.
- The degree to which you receive God’s
Word will be the degree to which you receive the manifestation of His
promises in your life.
- Prosperity is a covenant issue.
- God must fulfill His covenant because He promised to do it.
- What you don’t know and understand about your covenant will cost you (Hosea 4:6).
- God has given you the power to get wealth so that He may establish His covenant in the earth (Deuteronomy 8:17-18).
- Power is “ability, enablement or anointing.”
- Confess that you are anointed by God to get wealth.
- Power is “ability, enablement or anointing.”
- The terms of the covenant are twofold.
- God has a part to play in the covenant, and so do you (Genesis 26:1-5).
- God has already done His part by establishing His promises through Abraham and Jesus.
- God’s covenant allows you to partake of His resources.
- If you are in covenant with God, whatever belongs to Him belongs to you.
- God has already done His part by establishing His promises through Abraham and Jesus.
- Your part of the covenant is to obey God’s commands (Deuteronomy 10:12-13; Exodus 19:5).
- God wants you to obey His Word for your own good.
- God wants you to obey His Word for your own good.
- God has a part to play in the covenant, and so do you (Genesis 26:1-5).
- You can have confidence in
the covenant because God swore an oath to Himself to bless and multiply
you (Hebrews 6:13); His promises and oaths are immutable and
unchangeable (2 Chronicles 15:18).
- You must not doubt the covenant even when you don’t see your prayers answered immediately.
- In His covenant, God has already given
you everything you could ever want, need or desire; therefore, there is
no need to continue asking God for what He has already given you.
- What you see or don’t see should not stop you from believing and receiving the covenant God has established with you.
- Covenant people know how to rest in the promises of God.
- Angels are available to assist you in receiving the manifestation of what God has promised, but you must rest in the covenant (2 Chronicles 15:12-15).
- Don’t allow anything to disturb your rest.
- Abraham and Noah rested in the promises of God for years until they saw the manifestation of what He had promised them.
- To obtain the promises of God, you must patiently endure.
- Satan wants to take your focus from off your covenant to change your attitude about what God has already said.
- Patience does not mean “to put up with;” instead, it means “to be consistently, constantly the same.”
- The covenant is designed to anchor your soul to God’s promises.
- You must not doubt the covenant even when you don’t see your prayers answered immediately.
- By meditating on the promises of God daily, you will develop an inner image of the covenant.
- When you have developed an inner image, God sees it as a done deal.
- Change your vision by meditating on the covenant.
