As long as we keep our part of the covenant, God's part is ever reliable. Psalm 89:34. Jeremiah 33:20-21. Church Gist. God's covenant with us in redemption is as sure as His covenant of the day and night. Genesis 8:22. So, the covenant works as long as you're on this earth. Psalm 31:15. Ecclesiastes 3:11. - Your long awaited beautiful days are here finally.
We have said it here severally, when we're due.. and when our cloud is full, our rain of blessings is bound to fall. Galatians 6:9. "When is my due season?" When you're due. Who determines it? He determines it. Church Gist. Stop bothering your head about His part, stick to your part and keep dealing with delight. He never fails. Jesus never fails. Thank you Jesus.
Now, how God blesses. Interestingly, this is taught in all our Churches today. God blesses us through innovation and creativity among others. Church Gist. There must be something about the financial fortune of our covenant fathers inspite of severe economic conditions in their respective days. Each of them had famines in their days. What is about it? They knew what others didn't know. They knew the covenant and they walked in the covenant. Deuteronomy 8:11-17. When the covenant brings you into fortune, never fall into that trap of Deuteronomy 8:17. Deuteronomy 8:18. Church Gist. Don't let the outcome disconnect you from the source or you pay for it. Don't let God turn his back on you through the blessing He gave you or you get into want. "But thou shall remember..", never come to a point where you say, "my power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth", you'll lose it before you know it. You won't.
Now, among the blessings of the covenant is building of goodly houses, multiplication and expansion of your endeavours. They are not by your might, they're all validations of your covenant walk. Church Gist. Don't let the outcome disconnect you from the source or you'll run dry. They knew what others didn't know, so they excelled where others failed. They prevailed where others travailed. There must be something about our covenant fathers that caused them to prevail where others travail. Church Gist. They knew the covenant, they walked in the covenant, so they triumphed by the covenant.
Now, if you Deuteronomy 32:9, you saw how God took Israel from a howling wilderness, led him about, instructed him, kept him and made him to ride upon the high places of the earth. Church Gist. But Israel grew thick. Deuteronomy 32:15. God forbid. That's why some people give testimonies today of triumph and tomorrow, in a ditch. Deuteronomy 32:15.
You know? It's a deal. You are with Him, He is with you. Church Gist. 2 Chronicles 15:3. You forsake Him, He forsakes you. Let's be awake please. Deuteronomy 32:20.
-May God not hide His face from you. God will never hide His face from you.
Deuteronomy 32:21.
-You won't get to that point in your life in the name of Jesus.
They knew what others didn't know - they walked in the Covenant and God kept confirming His Word but be careful lest you disconnect from the Source and go down to bankruptcy. We saw how Abraham excelled by his innovation in cattle business while others were running around with their cattles from forest to forest, desert to desert, he dug wells, built the first cattle ranch in history. Church Gist. We saw how Isaac prevailed through irrigation farming. Everybody was waiting for rain to fall, he said: “There must be water underground.” He kept digging and watering his field until he became greater than the Nation where he lived in. Among their uniqueness is the creativity and innovation dimension.
-That is coming back to the Church of Christ. Sparks of divinely-inspired insights that would redefine your place. Thank You, Jesus.
Jacob excelled in Animal Husbandry, he knew how to raise sheep after the colour of his choice. Joseph created the first food preservation technology that preserved a whole nation from devastation. Gathered the food together for 7 years, distributed it for the next 7 years so some foodstuffs were there for 14 years.
