Introduction
The cover of the covenant is the strongest! When you walk solidly in the covenant, you become untouchable.
The covenant is unbreakable for any mortal man or any devil. Take a strong position in the covenant; don’t fake it!
There is no shortcut to experiencing fortune in famine outside the covenant of seed time and harvest. Your covenant stand is what defines your place, not your environment hence, the law to mind is the law of sowing and reaping, seedtime and harvest, giving and receiving.
“Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.”
“Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.” Job 22:24 – 25.
Mind the law cheerfully, willingly and tirelessly. You only steal what you don’t believe is attainable.
Every seed you sow goes through a process; don’t be in a hurry to reap!
`Channels of God’s Blessings
`1.Blessings through the works of your hands.
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” Ecclesiastes 9:10.
There is nothing in doing nothing; whatever your hand finds to do, do it!
2.Divine direction.
“And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.” Isaiah 48:21.
Let God lead your steps.
3.The words of our mouths.
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21.
“Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?” Ecclesiastes 5:6.
Mind what you say; it is what defines what you see tomorrow.
- Divine favour.
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
“And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.”
“LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.” Psalms 30:5 – 7.
Nothing flies like favour in the kingdom. - Parental blessings which you secure by honouring your parents.
“And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:”
“Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;”
“And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.” Genesis 27:2 – 4. - Priestly blessings.
“Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,”
“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:”
“The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:”
“The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”
“And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” Numbers 6:23 – 27.
Covenant Day of Open Doors Ministration
Can any door be shut against God?
No!
God’s presence is the master key to a world of open doors.
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” Psalms 24:7.
You enjoy automatic open doors when you are in active partnership with Jesus. At new birth, Jesus comes in to be resident in you. You must jealously guard His presence in there.
To Enjoy Open Doors:
- Be born again and remain so.
- Continue to walk in the fear of God.
“And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:” Genesis 42:18. - Remain in love with God.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28. - Know the right words concerning the doors you desire to see open.
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19. - Be committed to following God’s leading.
- Crave for fresh unction.
“I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:”
“With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.”
“The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.”
“And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.”
“But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.” Psalms 89:20 – 24.
“Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;”
“I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:”
“And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Isaiah 45:1 – 3. - Enter into a covenant to keep serving God and the interest of His kingdom as a lifestyle.
