You are a Covenant Child

Many of us are trying to buy our way out of faith. You want someone to give you a million dollars so that you would not have to use faith. However, it is impossible to please God without faith therefore you will have to operate in faith. Jeremiah 31:31 and Hebrews 8:6-10 references a new better promise that the Lord will establish with his people.


A covenant is a contract between two persons. Whereas a divine covenant is a contract between God and his people. God made covenants with people who fell into sin [who were not perfect]. He knew that about us and put something in the covenant (your ability to be in the blessing with Abraham) to get us back on track. Sadly, Christians allow things in life to disconnect them with Jesus. Jesus is in charge; he is the mediator of the new covenant. In the Old Testament covenant, if you sinned you forfeited the blessing. But God put a clause into the New Covenant to allow us to return back unto him. That clause is repentance. The awesome thing about repentance is that the grace of God will catch you when you do something wrong so that you can repent and not do it again so that you can be in position to receive your covenant blessing.

In this season, you need to be in position to rely on the Kingdom system. The thing about covenant blessings is that it is continual. Therefore you have to rely on a system that is consistent and established on faith. You don’t have to worry where your money is going in this economy. All you have to do is repent. God’s covenant blessing will cause people to give unto you. God’s covenant’s blessing will bring you down when men let you down. Get your mind in position. Why are you relying on something else when God has set out the better promises? Because you are in relationship with God, you have access to the better promises.

Remind yourself that you are covenant child. The enemy is always reminding you that you are always broke; but you have to learn how to close your ear to the enemy. His word says that you blessed coming and going. This covenant, God’s word, is everlasting. Remind ourselves that this covenant is already established. God’s word is it what it is. Remind myself of who you are in God…God said if you turn from your ways and seek him, you will receive blessings from nowhere!

God does not want you to settle for a substitute. You have no joy or fulfillment in the substitute. God presents to you what he have for you and you get tired of waiting and settle for the less. If you settle for less, then your faith is restricted. God will allow you to stay in a comfort zone because you don’t want to stay there. Within your means God is going to bless you with the desires of your heart. Your mind is a powerful thing when God has control over it. Liberate your mind to go outside your mind. You are covenant child.
