Having a clear understanding of your covenant with God is essential because it is the foundation of your life. Since the Bible is a book of covenants between the Father and mankind, your faith cannot become rock-solid until you understand the details of your covenant with Him.
Covenant-minded Believers understand why they have a right to salvation, healing, deliverance, divine protection, wealth, and so much more. A covenant is “a solemn promise, pledge or agreement between two or more parties to carry out the terms that have been agreed on.” Covenants were common practices in the Old Testament, and carried greater significance than modern contracts. For example, to Abraham, a covenant was very serious. Therefore, when God entered a blood covenant with him (which is the strongest agreement in existence), Abraham had a reason to trust God. As a result of their covenant, Abraham believed God’s promise to bless him. Because you are a born-again Believer, you, too, have a covenant with God that ensures your total life prosperity—no matter what is going on in the world. The Bible refers to you as Abraham’s “seed,” or spiritual offspring, because you are in Christ. More specifically, in God’s eyes, you have a spiritual union with Jesus, which means when He looks at you He sees all that Jesus has done.
As a child of God, you can rest in His promises to bless you and your family because He is a covenant-keeping God. In Psalm 89:34-35 He says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie.” God is not a liar. He’ll do exactly what He says He will do concerning you. The covenant between Him and Abraham, which affects you, is branded on His mind.
It is time to enjoy your love relationship with God. Begin by changing your spiritual profile from “Christian by Title Only” to “Covenant-minded Christian.” This requires your diligent study of God’s Word concerning the details of your covenant with Him. Meditate on every scripture that refers to covenant until your mind and spirit become saturated with it. Before long, you won’t help but be able to relate to God on the basis of your covenant. Your vocabulary will change, and you’ll begin praying and receiving answers from Heaven because of your understanding of your covenant rights. Problems that once threatened to overwhelm you will seem small because of your enlightenment.
Total life prosperity is yours by virtue of your covenant with God. The key is to remember that prosperity of any kind only responds to your understanding and practice of the details of your covenant. Practice obeying God and being loyal to Him. Practice loving others and being a blessing to everyone with whom you come in contact. After all, that’s what covenant-minded people like us do!
