“ And I will
establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed
after thee” Genesis 17:7
If you must fulfill your destiny, you must be
faithful in covenant relationships. Hebron is a place of covenant relationship.
A covenant is an agreement between two or more persons that is backed by blood.
If you are a Christian, the day you accepted Christ, you signed the covenant
whether you know it or not. You agreed that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour.
Every covenant has principles and the principles of the covenant of your faith
are contained in the word of God. God will keep His part and expects you to be
faithful in your part, i.e to abide by the principles of the covenant if you
must fulfill destiny. Covenant is a very important part of your Christian
experience. The Christian church has underplayed the importance of covenant.
Covenant is very vital. You cannot have Christianity without covenant because
Christianity is built on the blood of Jesus.
The
devil is an imitator. He duplicates what God has done. There is no shrine or
cult that does not involve covenants. Christianity is based on covenant. The new
testament is the new covenant. Every covenant involves blood else it would be
invalid. Wherever or whatever blood is involved, something powerful is there and it is not
expected to be played with. If you have ever been involved in any kind of
covenant that is not Christ’s, you must take steps to set yourself free. You
must go for deliverance. It is an obstruction to your destiny. Any other
covenant apart from Christ’s is a problem. You will never achieve your destiny
in life until you break free from any other covenant.
In the Bible, you would discover that Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob were buried in Hebron, the place of covenant relationship. The
strongest covenant God made was with Abraham. He renewed it with Isaac and also
with Jacob. The three of them were not buried in Hebron by accident. God wanted
them buried there intentionally to remind us that covenant is everlasting.
Abraham died many years ago but the covenant God made with Abraham is still
applicable to believers today. The blessing of Abraham has been transferred to
us. What Jesus did when He came was to renew it. When you accept Christ, you
accept the new covenant but you must live your life according to the principles
of Christ.
Prayer/Confession: I will fulfill my destiny.
The purpose for which i was born will come to pass in Jesus name.

Words of Wisdom: Every covenant has principles
and the principles of the covenant of your faith are contained in the word of
God.
