Continuation of the covenant

This was and still is the greatest and best gift Abraham would have thought of receiving at that point in time.


* Exchange of weapons:
        From Genesis 15:1 " ....Fear not, Abram I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward".  This was the greatest exchange of weapons ever prior to the New Testament. The Lord God of Host could not have collected any arm from Abraham because He was and still is God by Himself and literally needs no weapon of warfare.
Looking at Abraham, God surrounded him all by Himself and was the glory in the midst of her Zechariah 2:5, for this sake Abraham could easily go to any part of the World  and obtain favor
 Psalm 5:12. With this Abraham had the seal of authority of the owner of the whole World. I suppose this was the reason for his great wealth.


* Exchange of garments:
       Permit me to say that the exchange of garments has to do with the change of identity. when God asked Abraham to leave his country and kindred and father's house, to a land He would show him. He was changing his garments, changing his identity. In his father's land they were idolaterers. So him leaving his father's house and kindred was a change of garment setting him up for the miraculous.


* Exchange of  authority:
      When God told Abraham in the book of Genesis 15:1 " I am thy shield and exceeding great reward" He was promising Abraham that He would be all around Him and never leave him. God was giving him what I would call more than authority, God was literally giving him Himself which is worth more than authority. And this was the victory arm of Abraham GOD WAS WITH HIM AND ALL AROUND HIM.

COVENANT UNIVERSITY @ 13 A birthplace of Kings and Queen A breeding ground for Eagles A birthplace of entrepreneurs A breeding place of leaders In the order of Father of Eagle Papa Covenant University was born out of intimacy Between Father Eagle and FATHER GOD Making the university to be a GOD-versity Little wonder does she make exploits and Break new grounds that cannot be made by universities Little wonder did her eagle make exploits Fellow men could not achieve in 50 years Little wonder her eagles and eaglets remain outstanding in all her endeavors. Wow!

The Blessedness Of Obedience

Understanding Obedience What is obedience? Obedience is the demonstration of the multifaceted wisdom of God. It is proving God true in whatever He says and is a sincere act of faith. I need you to understand the wisdom and the power of God in His Word. And not just the power but the wisdom therein as in the book of John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we beheld his glory,the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth" From this scripture we understand that Jesus is the Word of God and from the book of Corinthians 1:24 "...Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." So when the Word of God goes forth it is Jesus going forth and backed up with the power of God and wisdom of God for quick manifestation as in Hebrews 4:12. Then what is the essence of obeying when God's Word is that powerful? Going back to the beginning when the World was created look what God Himself said in Genesis 1:26 "And God said,l...

Castigation not for us

     CASTIGATION NOT FOR US BUT LOVE IS FOR US In the Christendom people make unnecessarily high standards which they can not even meet while CHRIST never made it that way. As a matter of fact He said and is still saying come the way you are and do not remain the same as in Matthew 22:9-14 “COME THE WAY U ARE BUT DON’T REMAIN THE WAY YOU CAME ”  He did not call us because we are qualified and neither did He call us to make it on our own  because HE knows we are not qualified by our own working as in  Galatians 2:16  “... Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law justified ... (Galatians 2: 16 - UKJV) “ So our justification is not by our own working but the working of GOD in and through us. So when we fail please watch this carefully when we fail am not saying we should wo...
