The Covenant of Wealth

Monday 9 November
READ: Deut 8: 18
MORE LESSON: Exodus 3:8

Wealth is a covenant you can obtain in God. In Deut 8: 18, we realise that God gave the power to get wealth to the children of Israel because of the covenant He made unto Abraham. But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day: Deut 8:18. So wealth doesn't come by power or might, by toil or gimmicks(Deut 8: 17), it answers only to a covenant relationship with God.

When Israel left Egypt, we are told that God brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes: Psa. 105:37. The reason for the wealth they came out with was explained earlier in that chapter, He hath remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant Psa. 105:8-10.

So when God took Israel out of Egypt, He took them to the land flowing with milk and honey. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey: Exo. 3:8. There is a land flowing with milk and honey that God has promised you. It is the place of covenant wealth.

The first time I went to Israel I thought I would see milk and honey flowing on the street but I realised it wasn't so. In fact, that they produce honey from Dates in Israel. Apparently, the milk and the honey God told them about are not physical and literal. They actually symbolised wealth. He was promising them a land where there was abundance and productivity. Israel has little rainfall as a nation as it is geographically located in a desert, but Israel exports water to the surrounding nations. So in the land flowing with milk and honey, whatever you do prospers irrespective of the environment. It is a land where divine ideas for productivity and prosperity come to you and you profitably execute them. As we have established, it is not a land where you sit back and money flows on the street to meet you, but a place where you are empowered by the covenant keeping God such that anything you lay your hands upon prospers and brings profit. Today the covenant of wealth will speak for you and the power to get wealth will come upon you in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
