Genesis 17:7

God is so much better than we have ever known! He is not concerned only with giving you and I abundant life here and now; he is also deeply concerned about what happens in the future. We have yet to see the incredible glory of God that will be manifest through those who live with covenant commitments as their focus.



We are in covenant with God Almighty! The God of all the universe and life wants to be in covenant with you and me. He not only wants to pour out his blessings on us but also on the generations to come. Our great grandchildren and their children will benefit from the covenants we make with God today. What will we pass on to our children and their children - hope, purpose, success and contentment? Or will we leave them with hearts filled with heaviness, doubt and bitterness?



God has placed us in a very peculiar and precarious position. What a tremendous responsibility we have! With privilege comes responsibility. Yes, God has given us marvelous opportunities in this generation. The huge blessings on North America are by God’s design. He purposed for us to be living in abundance, and he has given most of us every opportunity to do so. This, however, is not so we could waste his generosity on our own lusts and desires, but that we would use these blessings to draw people to Jesus Christ.



Be in covenant with Christ today. Fulfill God’s purpose in becoming a true descendant of Abraham, and reap the benefits of a covenant relationship with Jehovah God. Commit today to live by the principals of God’s Word--experience life the way God meant it to be from the beginning.
