THE COVENANT OF TOTAL
RECOVERY
Memorise: But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Covenant literally denotes a contract. A contract is
an agreement between two or more parties comprising of specific issues on which
they have come to a consensus. At a later time, one of the parties involved may
change his mind and that could dissolve the contact. A covenant with God is
more than that. It is an eternal agreement and is eternally binding (Genesis
17:7).
In our Bible reading today, our God entered into a
covenant relationship with Abraham. He changed his name from Abram to Abraham
and the name of his wife from Sarai to Sarah. When God enters into covenant
with anyone, the first thing he does is to change the person to a new creature
(2 Corinthians 5:17). The covenant between God and Abraham was sealed with the
blood to seal the covenant between you and God (Matthew 26:28). Many blessings
accrued to Abraham and Israel
on the basic of the Abrahamic covenant. As long as they kept the covenant,
there was no sick person among them; God became their only physician (Exodus
15:26).
The Almighty God was also their protector (Exodus 23:26) and the
captain of their host. The covenant guaranteed their physical protection from
their enemies, from pestilence and from diseases. When they sinned against God
by breaking the laws of the covenant, their prosperity became austerity, and
their blessings were turned to curses. Jesus is the founder of the new covenant
(Hebrews 7:22). Whoever becomes a child of God by surrendering his or her life
to Christ has a lot to gain from God, because Jesus stands behind every
sentence in the New Covenant. The resources of heaven are behind Jesus and all
power belongs to Him (Matthew 28:18). Are you a child of God? Have you
surrendered your life to Jesus? Are you born-again? Are you serving God in
holiness and in truth? Be assured that the covenant of recovery is yours. Based
on the new covenant, every true child of God is called into a blessing that is
richer and more assuring than is contained in the Abrahamic covenant. All you
need is faith to access it (John 11:40). How do you experience this total
recovery? Be born-again. Diligently study the scriptures to identify what is
right and be diligent to do them. Be humble enough to trust God for your recovery
and go ahead to receive your healing, divine health, divine prosperity, peace
and life in abundance. Pray without ceasing, shun sin and continue to serve God
in holiness and truth. Learn to appreciate God. Give thanks always and praise
God for all things. Finally be a witness. Be a fruit-bearing Christian. Win
souls and ensure that the souls won are followed up properly so that each will
become a true disciples of Christ.
Action point
Renew your covenant with God
