Myself Within the Blessing of the Covenant (Genesis 12:1-4)          12/8/2019

 

From the 16th Remnant Conference in America, there were three covenants proclaimed that remnants must come to see fulfilled throughout the next year (save the adult generation, save the culture, save the world). It may seem like a mission that we must carry out, but in fact, it is actually a covenant that God gives us through the Bible. God had saved one person Joseph to save his family line, the entirety of Israel, Egypt, and all of its peoples. Regardless of the child’s age, if that child receives answers and is enjoying those blessings, the parents will follow. God sent an individual Moses to break down the idolatry of Egypt. Just as God promised, when the people put the blood of the lamb on their doors, the fate of 400 years of curses was finished. Through a persecutor and a weak individual Paul, God saved Rome.

All God’s people held onto his promise (covenant) and lived their life as a witness of the fulfillment of that covenant in their age (covenant journey, line of the covenant).

That is why we must realize the correct covenant and hold onto it in order to have correct faith. When we say, “we believe,” what do we believe? We believe in God, and the fact that his promise will be fulfilled. If we do not come to realize this, that is not the correct faith. If we held onto the correct covenant and that covenant does not become fulfilled, then that renders God a liar. Conversely, if God is giving us the covenant but we are not believing in it, then we are making God a liar (1 John 1:10). May you be true believers that enjoy the blessing of true covenant.

 

  1. At least hold onto three covenants.

This is the covenant that God gave to Abraham in the passage. Galatians 3:14 says this is the blessing that we will enjoy.

1) Fundamental or elemental covenant (verse 1-2).

God chose Abraham and told him to go to the land that he will show him. There, God told Abraham that he will be a source of blessings. Canaan here signifies Christ. It is the land that Christ will come to.

What did this Christ do? What did he do that if we go to him, we become a source of blessings?

He came with the authority of a priest to finish all our sins and curses on the cross (Mark 2:10, Romans 8:1-2). He came with the authority of a king to crush the power of Satan that drags all lives down to failure (1 Corinthians 15:25, 1 John 3:8). He came with the authority of a prophet to be with us and take responsibility of our future into eternity (John 14:6). He ended our curses, gave us the power to fight the authority of Satan, and with us forever. Within this, our lives have no choice but to be source of blessings. Ourselves, our posterity, and out church must hold onto this covenant.

God’s kingdom will come upon the lives that walk with Christ.

He is our king and our Lord that governs over us (Luke 17:21). Forces of darkness in all fields will crumble and the flow of the field will change (Matthew 12:28). The background of those lives is the kingdom of God (Philippians 3:20).

Whenever we look upon this Christ and pray, the power of the Holy Spirit works.

If you truly believe and pray, you will be able to do even greater works than that of Jesus (John 14:12-14). There were many terms that signify this – answer of nobody, absolute answer, answer of uniqueness, recreation, transcendence.

2) Covenant of identity (verse 3).

He has called you as the one to enjoy this covenant, and the moment you accepted Christ, he gave you amazing identity and authority.

Covenant of being the child of God (John 1:12, Romans 8:15-17). There are at least seven authorities that follow.

Covenant of royal priesthood. It is a covenant of having the authority to battle against Satan, the king of this world, and have victory to save the world. Deuteronomy 33:29 says, “you will trample down their highest places.” There are so many brilliant and outstanding individuals, but they are all crumbling down. Isaiah 60:1-5 says, “if you arise and shine, your descendants, all nations, all kings and its riches, all kings, all nations and its riches will come to your light.” Mark 16:17-20 says that for those who believe, there will be signs of saving and healing the world. Have you been diseased, fallen, or been in great hardships? If you hold onto this covenant, you will save people just like you.

3) Covenant of saving the age (verse 3). 

“All nations on earth will be blessed through you.” This is the covenant of world evangelization that saves the age and the world. This is the magnitude of the blessings that you will receive. Whether you are studying or running a business, prepare your vessel to contain such answers.

 

  1. How must we prepare our vessel for these answers and blessings?

You must make this covenant yours. It cannot be borrowed, nor can it belong to your parents or others. Furthermore, this must be placed in you as imprints, roots, and nature so that you do not shake under any circumstances.

1) You must accept this covenant as yours. That is called acceptance (John 1:12, Revelations 3:20).

When someone hands you a gift, it only becomes your if you accept it (Ephesians 2:8). When you are introduced to a partner, you must both accept (2 Corinthians 11:2).

2) Meditate on the word daily and express your faith for his covenant (confession of faith).

When it says in verse 4 that Abraham followed the word, this is what it means. That is the mystery to receiving guidance and strength. None of Samuel’s words fell to the ground (1 Samuel 3:19). David also led such a life (Psalm 19:14). On the other hand, there are also accounts of individuals that failed. That was the result of the reports that the ten spies brought back (Numbers 14:28).

3) Will you choose the covenant as you live your life? It is up to you to choose either your standards, levels and realities.

Israel broke the covenant as Adam did (Joshua 6:7). As a result, all lives fell into curses (Romans 5:12). There are many fruits of the knowledge of good and evil before us. However, even if we fall, God will fulfill all promises if we come back and hold onto the covenant. That is called the grace covenant (1 Corinthians 11:25). God was pleased with Abraham, who was full of failures, and David as well (Romans 4:1-8).

4) What is our final conclusion? Until this covenant is fulfilled, He will not leave us for eternity.

That is the covenant of “with.” God came to Jacob, who was running away, to give emphasize this covenant (Genesis 28:15). When the disciples held onto the covenant and got up from their failures, God gave them this promise as He sent them out to the world (Matthew 28:20).

 

Conclusion – If you are within the covenant and you are holding onto the covenant, you as one person are incredibly precious. The things that God has prepared for you are tremendous and great (Jeremiah 33:3, Ephesians 3:20). That is when you will be able to the real things and real fields (missions) that God has prepared for you. If you see through the eyes of this gospel covenant, you can embrace and save anyone. May you restore yourself that is within this blessing of the covenant.
