‘Confirm Your
Covenant’
When Abram was
ninety-nine years old, God appeared to him and told him, “I am the Almighty;
obey Me and live as you should. I will prepare a contract between us,
guaranteeing to make you into a mighty nation. In fact you shall be the father
of not only one nation, but a multitude of nations!” Abram fell face downward
in the dust as God talked with him.
What’s more, “God told
him, “I am changing your name. it is no longer ‘Abram’ (‘Exalted Father’), but
‘Abraham’ (‘Father of Nations’) – for that is what you will be. I have declared
it. I will give you millions of descendants who will form many nations! Kings
shall be among your descendants! And I will continue this agreement between us
generation after generation, forever, for it shall be between Me and your
children as well. It is contract that I shall be your God and the God of your
posterity. And I will give all this land of Canaan to you and them, forever.
And I will be Your God. (Genesis 17:1-8 TLB)
Prayer
Holy Spirit, help me to
let God make the right choices for me. As I live my life in faith in Jesus
Christ, transform and discipline me in accordance to God’s will. I shall walk
before Him and be blameless. He will confirm His covenant between Him and I and
he will increase my numbers. You will make me very fruitful and You will
establish Your covenant as an everlasting covenant between You and me and my
descendants after me. You shall give me the land as an everlasting possession
and You have promised to be my God and all of my families God. I praise and
thank You that we shall become the One stick and nation in Jesus Christ our
precious Lord, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.
