In everyone's life,dere re three stages - d past,present nd d future.B4 looking @ d future,it is only wise 2 consider d past nd d present. Why? In most cases,d past is wat brut forth d present;nd a combination of d past nd d present wil deliver d future.Behind every success recorded 2day nd tomorrow,dere is a solid covenant sumwhere in d past.Take 4 instance d life of Jacob:He had a past, a present nd a future.His past was rooted in d covenant God made wit Abraham,wen He promised 2 bless him nd 2 make him a blessing (Genesis 12:1-3).His present was in his limited state as Jacob - supplanter,tryin 2 make it by his own strength nd effort,while his next level was as Israel - a prince of God,where he would bcom God's favourite,nd partake of d covenant blessings father Abraham had wit God. D covenant u make wit God 2day wil nt only affect ur tomorrow,bt also d destinies of unborn generations.God is a covenant keepin God nd He looks 4 dose who can pay d price of cutting an enduring covenant wit him.At d beginning of d Redeemed Christian Church of God,God had a covenant wit our father - d founder. God asked him 2 do certain things nd den He wil begin a church through him which will go all ova d world,nd a church He will meet on His return 2 d earth.D old man Kept his own side nd God is still keeping His.Dis covenant keepin God made Abraham great nd den moved into d Isaac generation which is d now (Genesis 24:34-35).For Isaac, God made him very great (Genesis 26:12-14).D future is d level of Jacob - who God made exceedingly great.From today,prophesy 2 ur self daily by saying:In d name of Jesus,I am going 2 be exceedingly great.Dat is my next level,nd nothing can stop me bcus my Father is a covenant keeper. Are u operating on a covenant with God? Written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye.
