THE REAL COVENANT CHILDREN
Genesis 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
As a believer; we are the real covenant children; we are the children that came out of the covenant that God had with Abraham; we are the children of obedience and as we all know that covenant can become null and avoid if one party decide to stop performing his or her own part of the deal. There is a consequence for anyone who defaults in this covenant; The terms and condition is like a two edged sword; it cuts both ways; there is good and bad; blessings and curses; life and death. There is no middle ground; If you are not obedient to the covenant that means you are automatically in disobedience and also liable to suffer in the punishment reserved for the children of disobedience. The children of disobedience are those who despise the covenant or fail to fulfil their obligation but that will not be you in Jesus name. Ephesians 2:2 (Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience): Those who fail to fulfil their obligation and those who have not entered into the covenant belongs to the same category. An irresponsible covenant child is not allowed to share in the inheritance.; he cannot be an heir to the throne of our dear God. by faith we are ordained to reign with Jesus as heir to the throne. Galatians 3:13 (Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith). Jesus Christ took our place in the cross so that we would nor be hanged; rejecting his sacrifice is hanging yourself; you are saying to God that you don't want to have any relationship with Him. Galatians 4:28 (Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free). Our freedom came as a result of the sacrifice of Jesus in the cross of calvary; the heir is the one that died for the sin of the whole world and to be a joint heir with him you need to surrender your life to him. The scripture said that we can only enter into the covenant of promise by faith through Christ. The spirit of adoption needs to enter into you so that you can become a son with full entitlement to your inheritance. Galatians 4:5 (To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ). The love of God is so sweet and if you have never experienced it you may never have the opportunity to know what true love feels like. Friends here is another opportunity for you to enter into a covenant with God and experience his undying love by praying this salvation prayer below
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen
NENE ISAH,
