Understanding the Covenant Practice.

Deuteronomy 29:29

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are  revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the  words of this law

We are bound to do all the words of the law of God, to see Gods covenants at  works in our lifes, and the revelations of  deepest secret things of the lords  will be reveal to us  on daily basis as we practice the words of the laws of God.

I'm talking about understanding Kingdom prosperity as you practice the  words  of the law, many Christians today think money is evil, or that God regard  money as an evil, no money is not the evil, but the love of money is evil,  money comes because God understand that we need money, the cloth we use is  bought with me, the food we eat we bought with money, our life need money, the  bible said in  Matthew 6:32
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father 
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

God knows we need money to live a good life, and God have always been a  provider of material things to them that diligently seek him, Phil 4:19. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek, 
the people of the world called the gentiles loved money and fall into divers  temptation ,God knows lot's about money than we do, Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for  laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things. .

God is  committed to providing you all this material things as long as you can forget  them in you heart and focus on his world, money is material things and is of  the world and the bible said in 1 John 2:15-16
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man  love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the  eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

As a kingdom practitioner you need to free your self from the love of the  things of this world by understanding that after all  ,this things will come  your way without much struggles because your heavenly father who also provide  for the birds will surely bless you with all this things knowing that you need  them, the word of God in  Deuteronomy 20:14 said 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.

Now how can you remember the Lord when you are busy thinking about how you  can make millions, buy houses?,  you have to hold on to internal life and  don't give it up, for its this practice that produces all the blessings of  God, not your power or might, or your being strong or hard working, if that is what it takes i believe many people that are still living in abject poverty and lack today supposed to be ridding in horses, no but it's the blessing of God that makes rich without adding sorrow to it,  this is how it works if you are interested in God's type of blessing which give pure peace of mind .


When you are committed to the things of God then God is committed to  blessing you,  you can not be a double minded man and progress James 1:8, you  can not be thinking about God and at the same time money, the bible made it  clear that one can not serve two masters , it's Either you  will hate the one  and love the other Mathew 6:24.

It's vital to understand that Jesus does not come for us to endure life   he come for us to  enjoy life John 10:10 ,  I have come that they may have  life, and have it to the full.

Many believers are enduring life not enjoying life, many  believers endure life  because they  do not have what it takes to enjoy life, until you begin to enjoy  life you have no commanding powers, you need to be more close to God do what  it takes to enjoy life, Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:  thereby good shall come unto thee Job 22:21 , Acquaint now thyself with him means  submit to God and be at peace with him , come closer to him, have him in your  mind all time and meditate on his word steadily so that prosperity will come  to you.


Be a giving kingdom practitioner .

Why do I called you a practitioner?, because Paul said to timothy his son in Christ  , lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast  professed a good profession, , so its a profession to be Kingdoms minded,  because its what you practice everyday of your life.

Now it takes spiritual empowerment to give in lack, so many people who enjoy  kingdom prosperity today are addicted givers, they give, and give until they  give poverty  out of their life, believe this its takes spiritual empowerment to sow  financial seed while in poverty but addicted givers don't even know when they give, I remember  each time I went to eat at  MacDonald I will be searching for their small Mac 
Donald charity box to donate to the children, I mean this happens every time I  went to MacDonald’s and that is one thing that draw my attention to go  there.

How to get energized for financial prosperity.

Hebrews 6:13-15

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater,  he sware by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply  thee.

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.


When you have done your own part then you need endurance like Abraham to  obtain the promise, so many of people  today have in time past tried to know God,  or try to be addicted to his world but lack endurance, Romans 4:20 said He  staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith,  giving glory to God,, many people see faith as just believe and its done, no  faith is believing it all the time which is not easy unless you are empowered  by the holy spirit, faith is a contest, Jude 1:3, Paul wrote to Timothy his son  in Christ and said Fight the good Fight of Fight, why is it a fight because the enemy  Satan will seduce your mind with different reason why what you believe will  not come to pass, he will use physical examples and spiritual tactics to subdue  you to give up your faith, before I used to hear people  saying Satan is a liar , I take it for a mere word, but as a spiritual minded man  today I now see it clearly that Satan is the greatest liar  in the world, I  remember accusing my close relative and friends of what they know nothing  about and Satan will influence my mind then in believing that it was so, but  when I  Acquaint myself with God I start receiving   clear  physical and 
spiritual revelation that most all this things are satanic tactic to seduce  my mind, that's why the Word of God said in Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life , and Proverbs 23:7  said For as man  thinketh in his heart, so is he, you need to guide what you think, understanding when Satan is trying to influence your mind with lies is very impornat, failure to do so you will then see your enemies  and call them your lovers and when you see people who truly love you and  want your well being you call them enemies because Satan does not want anything good to come your way, and that is why it's a fight, you need to understand the language or your mind so that you can grab opportunity when it comes if not you will see opportunity and have reasons to let it go, but this verse of the bible can help us remain steadfast, in the book of  Hebrews 10:23  the word of God said Let us hold fast the profession of our 
faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised.  God is faithful  not to fail his promises, its vital and important to see growth in our  relationship with God instead of wavering at the confession of our mouth, like  we used to say in Jesus name I'm free from this sickness and after that you  begin to think of how to see a doctor concerning the same sickness, that is  wavering at the confession of your own  mouth, now the same book of Hebrews  10:35:36 said

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of  reward.
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye  might receive the promise.

Imagine you have been working with God for more than one year  (just to mention a few)  and  you just decide to give up one day because you are not seeing enough sign, to  whoever will read this if this thing happens to you then consider your self  the greatest looser of all time, that's why you need patience, endurance ,  believing that God who has promised can never fail, now understand that 
Apostle Paul the author of both Romans and Hebrews that is teaching us about  Abraham's faith have gone through lot's of things and he wrote this not only  through the inspiration of the holy spirit but also out of experience, so it's  vital to follow the steps of those who have been in this journey before us.

Now when you give you  are committing  God to respond rapidly to your financial stress, when Solomon give thousand of sacrifice unlike any of King in the history of Israel God was committed to respond immediately   and God ask Solomon what he need in life 1 Kings 1:4-5, Solomon just request one little thing wisdom instead of wealth, but God said I will give you what you request but you will also receive according to the promises , and Solomon become the richest King of all time, for Gold and Silver was  common like a an ordinary stone during his rains in Jerusalem.

God have promise that givers never lack, blessed is the hand that gives than the ones that takes, this are the promises of God and they are covenants, agreements that can never be broken because he that promise is faithful .The covenant made by God to Abraham is an agreement by an oat God made  to himself because he can not swear by no greater, so God is bound to keep all  his promises.

Bishop David Oyedepo said  he prayed and ask God what he need to have kingdom  prosperity, and God answered and said prosperity in the Kingdom does not answer  to fasting, it does not answer to prayers , God said to him my prosperity plan is a covenant, until your part is completed I'm not part of it. If you don't plant any seed in your  field it will be  equal to insanity  going to the field for harvest.


That's why many prayer warriors are properly poor, because there are many  prayers warriors who  are not giver warriors and there are many giver warriors who are not spiritual warriors, you need power to excel, power also play its part in your kingdom prosperity   because the word of God does not work in Isolation, Acts 1:8

Heavens are still open , but only covenant practitioners can experience open  heaven, every kingdom practitioner need endurance, endurance is not also easy, you need spiritual empowerment to endure, because when you begin as a new Kingdom Practitioner people will mock you because as canal minded people they can not see the blessings ahead and will refer  you as failure, but God does not send rain until the cloud is full Ecclesiastes 11:3, The word of God said in Habakkuk 2:3  the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry, what am saying is that you need endurance as a Kingdom Practitioner , don't give up for he who has promised is too faithful to fail, Abraham never give up, closed to thirty years he was still waiting for Issac to come even when Sarah was overaged .


Abraham was the first recorded tither in the bible, Genesis 14;20 , he gave tithe on behalf of the whole armies of Israel, that is  what we call cooperate tithe today, history has it that J.C Penny was tither and was thought to tithe by his mother, today the JC Penny I know as it's closer to my working place is one of the biggest Departmental Stores in the United States, I read that J.C Penny died long ago but his light in the company he establish still shine till today,

When I first studied Exploits of Faith by Bishop David Oyedepo I discovered that  I can determined who I want to be through my giving faith , because I so much trust in God and I believe he can never never fail, if you believe that say Amen as you read this article.


One of the benefit of giving is that it brings you divine ideas, God always make away of escape for you in times of tribulations, it brings you divine health, and divers opportunity, and you become a moving train that no man or power  can stop, as you read in  Genesis 39 to 40  you see that not even prison stopped Joseph from being who he is, in fact  count it all joy when you face diverse temptation along the way because when you get out of it God will immediately take you to a higher dimension of life.

Your life will never remain the same as you become a Covenant Practitioner from Today.

Amen.
