The SANCTITY OF COVENANT



It is about the force you need for an immeasurable destiny. The sacredness and inviolability of Covenant. It is so powerful. Have you ever wondered why God told the Israelites that "five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword", Leviticus 26:8. How relevant is this scripture to us in New Testament? Five stands for GRACE. Grace will earn you measurable victories, but you need an hundred of you to put ten thousand to flight. 'Ten thousand' is the way of saying the immeasurable, while 'Hundred' indicates the set time of God's covenant. In other words (according to the revelation given me by the Holy Spirit) you need the force of God's covenant to experience a destiny of immeasurable victories. Remember the story of Abraham. Bible says Abraham was HUNDRED years old when his son Isaac was born-Genesis 21:5. The HUNDRED of Abraham put ten thousand to flight-the HUNDRED of Abraham gave birth to immeasurable nations, because God had told Abraham that He will make him a father of many nations at the set time of His covenant, Gen.17.

One very important thing we must know is that Grace was not enough for Abraham to give birth to nations. Abraham was required to play certain roles to enter into the immeasurable destiny God had in plan. For examples, God told Abraham:"walk before me and be thou perfect". Second, Abraham must be circumcised. God told Abraham clearly that every male child must be circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin, as their own responsibility in the fulfillment of His covenant. And in the same day Abraham and other men got circumcised. This happened before God gave him Isaac. If Abraham had not obeyed God and got circumcised, God would not have fulfilled His promises. God would not have played His part, if Abraham had not played his own part of the covenant, even through grace was available. Of course, for an 100 years old man and 90 years old woman to give birth to a child is grace.

You in this New Testament need not the circumcision of the flesh. The circumcision you need for the fulfillment of God's covenant with you is the circumcision of your heart. Bible says be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may understand the good, acceptable and perfect will of God and do them. You need the covenant to put ten thousand to flight, because the provision of Grace is limited. God can start with you with Grace. There is salvation by grace(Eph.2 :8-9) But don't forget that there is a working salvation. There is a salvation you have to work it out. Paul says, " working out your own salvation with fear and trembling" Philippians 2:12. Think about this: In the early period of getting born again, you would notice that when you asked God for some things, you did receive them quickly in the physical. But as you grew in the faith, you would pray and pray for something but it would take a very long time before you could get it in the physical. The reason is that God wants you to have a sense of responsibility to access certain blessings, as you grow up in the Lord. Things will stop coming cheap to you, because responsibilities in the covenant have been upgraded. As He upgrades your blessings in the kingdom, He upgrades your responsibilities - "To whom much is given, much is expected". The power of Grace is not limited, but the provision of Grace is limited. Bible says shall we continue in sin and ask for more grace to abound?, God forbid. That's why you should not joke with the sanctity of covenant. Your response to covenant will determine how far your victories in life.

I don't know of the specific terms and conditions in God's covenant with you, but i know of the general which says ONLY FEAR THE LORD AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH WITH ALL YOUR HEART. WALK IN HIS STATUTES, AND KEEP HIS WORDS AND DO THEM. Then He will give you rain in due season, and your land will yield her increase, and the trees of your field will yield their fruits. And you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely...... ( Leviticus 26, read more)

Do you want to put an hundred to flight or do you want to put ten thousand to flight? If you desire the latter, you need an HUNDRED of you. I mean you need the force of God's covenant. When God honours His covenant with you (his promises), no devil can stop it from manifesting. Whatsoever he says, he will surely do. He says: " For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful and multiply you"-Leviticus 26:9. He will have respect unto His promises. But on one condition: You have to honour your own responsibilities in the Covenant.

Immeasurable defeats await those who dishonour the sacredness of Covenant. (Leviticus 26).
