LIVING AND WINNING BY A COVENANT MINDSET IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD (4)!

LIVING AND WINNING BY A COVENANT MINDSET IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD (4)!

Previously, I informed you that the PRINCIPLES of the divine COVENANT agreement or relationship, you and I are in with GOD in Christ in this World are products of the WORD of GOD, spoken or written in scripture, which you and I is requested to DO or NOT to DO to benefit from the PROMISES of the COVENANT in Christ in this World. Read write-up (3) of this series for more.

For today, I will be informing you of the PROMISES of divine COVENANT to enlighten and encourage you to think, speak and LIVE a COVENANT mindset to VICTORY and to SUCCESS in Christ in this World.

One of the beauty or interesting part of a COVENANT is the benefits or profits its brings to both parties or one of the parties involve.

In the Bible, the benefits or profits of the divine COVENANT agreement or relationship you and I are in with God in Christ in this World is called PROMISES.

The PROMISES of the divine COVENANT we operate with GOD in Christ in this World is given in two (2) forms:

First, as a PERSON.

In getting our father of faith (Abraham) informed of His COVENANT plan for Him, GOD said:

And I will establish My COVENANT between Me and you and your SEED (from the immediate seed, Isaac to the actual seed, JESUS CHRIST) after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you and to your SEED after. (Genesis 17:7).

Apostle Paul confirms that when he says:

Now to Abraham and his SEED were the PROMISES made. He says not and to SEEDS, as many, but as of ONE and to your SEED, which is CHRIST. And this I say, that the COVENANT, that was confirmed before GOD in CHRIST, the law, which is four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the PROMISE of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise, but GOD gave it to Abraham by PROMISE. (Galatians 3:16-18).

Therefore, the Bible says for GOD so loved the World, that He GAVE His only begotten SON (Jesus Christ like father Abraham did by obeying God to give his only Son, Isaac), that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16; Genesis 22:1-20).

Do you get it?

Second, as a PROVISION.

In getting our father of faith (Abraham) out from his country, from his kindred and from his father's house to a PROMISE LAND, GOD promised him that:

1. He is going to make him a great nation.

2. He is going to bless him.

3. He is going to make his name great.

4. He is going to bless anyone that blesses him.

5. He is going to curse anyone that curses him.

6. He is going to make him a blessing.

7. He is going to make in him for ALL families of the earth to be blessed. (Genesis 12:1-5).

This is, you and I in Christ divine destiny in Christ in this World.

After our father of faith (Abraham) successful passed the trial and test of God, God pronounced and confirmed the above blessings on him and his immediate seed of promise (Isaac) to his actual seed of promise (JESUS CHRIST) with an OATH (swearing Word). (Genesis 22:1-18).

God bringing His PROMISES to our father of faith (Abraham) to pass as a faithful God, who keeps to His Word, the Bible reveals that:

JESUS CHRIST took not on Him the nature of angels, but He took on Him the SEED of ABRAHAM.

Wherefore in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful HIGH PRIEST in things pertaining to God, to make RECONCILIATION for the SINS of the people (you and I).

For in that He Himself has SUFFERED being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted. Halleluyah! (Hebrews 2:16-18).

Do you get it?

JESUS CHRIST who is the actual SEED (person) of promise to our father of faith (Abraham) inherited or obtained the INHERITANCE (provision) of the divine COVENANT with Abraham after paying the necessary price required by God to inherit it. (Hebrews 1:1-4; Hebrews 8).

However, GOD has designed that JESUS CHRIST passes the PROMISES (the person and the provision) of the divine COVENANT He had inherited or obtained appropriately to any one that will genuinely believe, receive and confess Him (Jesus Christ) by FAITH as his or her personal Lord and Saviour in this World.

Therefore, the Bible says that:

Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, who has blessed US (you and I) with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

According as he has CHOSEN US in Him (Christ) before the foundation of the World, that we should be holy and without blame before Him (God) in love.

Having PREDESTINED us unto the adoption of CHILDREN by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His Will.

To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us (you and I) accepted in the beloved.

In whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the forgiveness of SINS, according to the RICHES of His GRACE. Halleluyah! (Ephesians 1:3-7).

Do you get it?

If you have genuinely accepted JESUS CHRIST into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour in this World, you have the right and access to receive and enjoy the BLESSING of Abraham through JESUS CHRIST.

This is so because the Bible reveals that:

CHRIST has REDEEMED us (you and I) from the CURSE of the LAW (that came on us because of our inability to completely and perfectly obey the law of God humanly on earth), being made a CURSE for us (you and I). For it is written, CURSED is every one that hangs on a tree.

That the BLESSING of ABRAHAM might come on the GENTILES (that is, you and I who are not naturally from the nation of Israel) through JESUS CHRIST: that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE (person) of the SPIRIT through FAITH.

For you are ALL the CHILDREN of GOD by FAITH in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as have been baptized into CHRIST have put on CHRIST.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female. For you are ALL one in CHRIST.

And if you be CHRIST'S, then are you ABRAHAM'S SEED and HEIRS according to the PROMISE. (Galatians 3:13,14, 26-29).

Now, pay close ATTENTION here, from the above scriptural verses, you will observe that the first critical access that JESUS CHRIST gives you and I as the BLESSING (or PROMISE) of Abraham from the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT of God is for you and I to be able to receive the PROMISE (of the Person) of the (Holy) SPIRIT through FAITH. Re-read and Ponder on that please!

Why is this so?

This is because other PROMISES (provisions) of the divine COVENANT with Abraham in Christ in this World can only be SUPPLY by the Person of the HOLY SPIRIT of God (Christ), who is the third Person of the Godhead currently in operation in this World for the New Testament (covenant) Church.

That is why Apostle Paul says for I know that this shall turn to my SALVATION through your PRAYER and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of JESUS CHRIST. (Philippians 1:19).

JESUS CHRIST Himself reveals that one of the dimensions of the KINGDOM of GOD is that the (spiritual) KINGDOM of GOD (Holy Spirit) is WITHIN you and I. Therefore, we should not be running here and there with people looking for the (spiritual) KINGDOM of GOD (Holy Spirit). (Luke 17:20,21).

That is why JESUS CHRIST says to you and I....to seek first the (spiritual) KINGDOM of GOD (the Holy Spirit, who is the spiritual Person of promise of the divine COVENANT in Christ in this World now) and His righteousness and ALL these things (other provisions of promise of the divine COVENANT in Christ) shall be added unto you and I (in this World).... True! (Matthew 6:25-34)

JESUS CHRIST is saying and revealing that if you and I desire anything, either spiritual or physical, we should first SEEK the KINGDOM of GOD (the Presence and Power of HOLY SPIRIT) and it will be SUPPLY to us.

Therefore, He (Jesus Christ) teaches that All you NEED when you are in NEED in this World is to PRAY to the FATHER (God):

Let your KINGDOM (Holy Spirit) come and let your WILL BE DONE on Earth as it is in Heaven. If this happen for you by His GRACE all you need next is to release it from WITHIN you by progressive and persistent PRAYER (and fasting and giving when necessary) into manifestation and obeying every INSTRUCTION and DIRECTION given to you by the Holy Spirit daily. (Matthew 6:10; Luke 11:9-13; Ephesians 3:20; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14,15; Romans 8:14; Matthew 6:1-18; John 16:13,14)

Don't settle for LESS than the BEST Jesus Christ has obtained for you as the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT upon your life in Him (Christ) in this World.

The Bible reveals that JESUS CHRIST inherited or received seven (7) dimensions of the PROVISION of the PROMISES of the COVENANT for you and I:

1. Power

2. Riches

3. Wisdom

4. Strength

5. Honour

6. Glory

7. Blessing
(Revelation 5:1-12).

That is why the Bible reveals that CHRIST in YOU (by His Holy Spirit), is the HOPE of GLORY (for you in this World now and in heaven some day). (Colossians 1:27).

If you are a genuine CHILD of GOD in Christ in World:

1. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His POWER (couple with the gifts of the Spirit) as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ) in this World. (John 1:12; 1 Corinthians 12).

2. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His RICHES as one of tge provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ) in this World. (Philippians 4:19).

3. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His WISDOM as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ) in this World. (1 Corinthians 2:9-14; Galatians 5:16-26).

4. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His STRENGTH (couple with tge fruits of the Spirit) as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ). (Philippians 4:13).

5. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His HONOUR as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ). (Matthew 5:13-16).

6. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His GLORY as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ). (Romans 3:23).

7. You have CHRIST in YOU (by the Person of His Holy Spirit) with His BLESSING as one of the provisions of the PROMISES of the divine COVENANT, you are in with GOD in Him (Christ). (Ephesians 1:3,4).

That is why Apostle Paul says I am CRUCIFIED (,RESURRECTED and REWARDED also) with Christ (you and I also). Nevertheless I live, yet not I, but CHRIST LIVES ME and the life which I now live in the flesh (in this World)I live by the FAITH of the SON of GOD, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Halleluyah! (Galatians 2:20)

JESUS CHRIST has made you and I PRIEST and KING unto GOD to reign on earth by His Suffering and Sacrifice of His life on our behalf. (Revelation 5:9,10).

Are you truly REIGNING on earth as a CHILD of GOD, who is a PRIEST and a KING unto God in Christ in this World and who is meant to REIGN (dominate) on earth by CREATION and COVENANT? (Genesis 1:26-28; Revelation 5:9,10; Ecclesiastes 10:7).

Think about it!

Speak about it!

Live it out by a COVENANT mindset!

God bless you.
