Walking in Covenant

Tuesday 16 June
READ: Gen. 17:1-8
MORE LESSONS: Psa. 89:34-35

When you stand in covenant relationship with the Almighty, it implies that your problems are His problems because whatever painful thing that happens to you, affects Him. If you establish a covenant of this nature with God, He has no option than to defend you because of the agreement that exists between you and Him.
The point is that every man who wants to conquer in life must have a personal relationship with the God Almighty, a relationship with Jesus Christ as the Lord and Saviour of his life. A deep relationship with God brings a manifestation of God in any crisis.
Every believer should know that whatever happens to him affects Jehovah. So, there will be a way out no matter how long it takes because you are walking in a covenant relationship with God. Everyone who desires an impact and revelation of God must walk with the perfect understanding of who God is. Men who find, know who God is so that when trouble comes, that knowledge of God gives them victory before a miracle happens; but ignorance of who God is can kill you before help reaches you. No crisis can swallow a believer who has a personal relationship with the Almighty.

Crisis will come, but He has promised to help. In serving God, a problem can be an opportunity to discover God afresh, and the more of Him you know the greater height you can go. Abraham would not have been what he is today without a covenant walk with Jehovah. Because Abraham kept his own part of the covenant with God (walk with God) by circumcising all the males in his house, plus himself as God commanded, being the sign between Abraham and God, God could not keep back His own side of the agreement, He gave Abraham children as He said (Gen 21:1) and blessed him in all things (Gen 24:1).
The key to God’s blessing is living in obedience to His agreement with man. The first of that covenant is to keep His commandments and get His blessing. There could be other personal covenants you have with God which you will do well to keep, but our first covenant is the commandments which we must keep to be blessed.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God to write His laws upon the table of your heart that you may walk permanently in His way.
* Ask Him to help you keep your covenants with Him and do His good will.
* Ask God to pour upon you His covenant blessings that cannot be reversed.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
The Lord will help me, therefore I shall not be confounded.
