Abrahamic Covenant

 Abrahamic Covenant 




How does the Abrahamic Covenant work? When God put Abraham in His covenant God swore by Himself because there was no one greater than Him to sign the legal “contract” agreement with Him.

Genesis 15

 

Now we look at how this Covenant works and what our part is. When King David wanted to sacrifice to the LORD, he would not accept free animals he only sacrificed the animals he paid for.

2 Samuel 24:24

 

When Abraham met Melchizedek a High Priest who was greater than him Abraham gave him a tenth of everything and Melchizedek blessed him.

Genesis 14:17-24

 

Now God tested Abraham with the command to sacrifice Isaac and Abraham was willing because he knew God could bring him back from the dead. Which technically he was dead as Abraham had already built the altar. God stopped the sacrifice. Also, on another level Abraham had already done his part in operating in the Covenant by giving a tenth to Melchizedek.

Genesis 22:1-19

 

To get the blessings from the Abrahamic Covenant it is going to cost you something. It has even cost God. For God so loved the world He gave his only begotten son "John 3:16"…What a price God had to pay? So now we see just like Abraham we have a chance to activate the Covenant by giving the priest what is required by law. Usually when we are in step with God, he has called for us to go higher than we can see or even have the faith for. This is how we know its God, and if we can’t pay the priests a seed lawfully, we will pay some other kind of way.

 

We can pay another way either with our health, finances, emotions or anything that can bring you down to your knees with your hand stretched upwards calling for the LORD to help. This is the same sacrifice that Jesus paid with the crucifixion. So now you see everybody pays but what, how much are you willing to pay. This is to show that your afflictions and suffering have an end date and have a purpose. Ask any successful person they will tell you they have had a treble or even life or death situation before they had the break thru into Abrahamic prosperity. And that’s how much it costs.

 

Hebrews 9:23-28

Hebrews 10:1-18

Psalm 110
