Engaging The Blood Of The Covenant

Are you part of the new covenant with God? Are you enjoying the full benefits of that covenant? God is a covenant keeping God and He will not alter His words concerning the new covenant. This post reveals the power of engaging the blood of the covenant in receiving the full benefits of the covenant.

This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them, then He adds, their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:16-17, 19, 22-23 (NKJV).

Many of the Christian believers know that they have entered into a covenant with God by salvation, but many of them are not enjoying the benefits of this covenant. They know the promises of God to them but they are yet to taste these blessings. This is majorly through their ignorance or lack of faith.

God has a new and better covenant with His children, founded on better promises and Jesus is the mediator and guarantee of this new covenant (Hebrews 7:22, Hebrews 8:6). When you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, you enter into this new agreement and you have access to all the promised inheritance.

What is a covenant?

This is an agreement between two parties (In this case God and His children) with laid down terms. It is an agreement which spells out what each party should do. In God's covenant with His children, He promises to do certain things for them and they are in return expected to carry out certain instructions. The Lord forever keeps His own part (Psalm 89:34), but man is the one who always fails to keep his own part. However, many Christians are doing their part but are not able to get hold of the promises. They ought to engage the blood of the covenant.

The power of the blood of the covenant

Where there is a testament, there must be the death of a testator (Hebrews 9:6). In the Old Testament, animals had to be sacrificed severally to dedicate the testament but in the New Testament, the blood of Jesus was shed once and for all to:

Taking Delivery Of Your Blessings Through The power Of The Mouth

What do you say with your mouth? Your tongue forms your future and so should be wisely used. However, many Christians are not harnessing the power of the tongue for their benefits. This post stresses the importance of taking delivery of your blessings through the power of the tongue.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit - Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV).

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says - Mark 11:23 (NKJV).

Many Christians are crying and getting depressed over things they have the power to change. God has made provisions for His children to take delivery of their blessings, inheritances in Christ. Unfortunately, many of them are not taking advantage of these provisions. They would rather murmur and complain. One of such provisions is the tongue.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue and those who know how to harness the life will eat its fruit, while those who harness the death will eat its fruit also. So, like Joshua said choose life that you may live (Deuteronomy 30:19). Be careful to keep your tongue from speaking the wrong things that you may enjoy life (Psalm 34:12-13). Choose to consciously use your tongue to create the future you want.

The scriptures says in Mark 11:23 that if you don't doubt in your heart but believe that those things which you say will come to pass, you will have whatever you say! You have to start saying what you want, not what you have that you don't want. Also, you have to BELIEVE that whatever you are saying will come to pass. God's people are destroyed or frustrated because of lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) or because they have refused to do as the Lord had instructed.

God says, "Open your mouth wide and I will fill it". The children of Israel refused to obey this instruction and God couldn't subdue their enemies nor turn His hand against their adversaries (Psalm 81:10-14). Read more...
