Devotion (The Trumpeter):
The Covenant was to help your faith

Hebrews 6:17KJV

  Thereby God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath

As far as God is concerned, He doesn’t understand why any Christian should find it difficult believing in the blessings of the Gospel. He finds it unreasonable why any Christian should doubt His Words.

For instance, the average Christian thinks that it is unreasonable for anyone to expect him to believe the Word that says he will drink any deadly thing and it wouldn’t harm him. The truth really is that God rather finds it so unreasonable that the Christian doubts these Words.

It’s important that certain things are explained to Christians and even some preachers to help their faith.

God needed not to cut a covenant with Abraham; He needed not to swear by Himself. On God’s side, He speaking was just enough. He cut the Covenant to help Abraham’s faith.

It may surprise you to hear that when God initially came to Abraham (Abram), Abraham (Abram) didn’t fully respond in faith. He believed certain things but found it harder believing other promises of God.

And He said to him, “I am the [same] Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land as an inheritance.”But Abram said, “Lord God, by what [proof] will I know that I will inherit it?…..Genesis 15:7-8AMP”

Abraham was like any other man. He had like passions as any other. The same way men want sensual proof, things they can see and touch, and Abraham was no exception. He wanted proof of the senses. God’s Word wasn’t enough for him.

Was God angry? Not at all. God gave him what he wanted, a sensual proof. The blood covenant was to help Abraham’s faith. Blood covenants are sacred. Men of those days didn’t make blood covenants if they couldn’t stick their neck on what they were saying. Breaking a blood covenant was punishable by death. So when Abraham could see God cutting a blood covenant with him that was the conclusion for him. You were not from then going to get Abraham to doubt anything that this God had said. This is how Abraham became the Father of faith

“So God said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”  So Abram brought all these to Him andcut them down the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds….Genesis 15:9-10AMP” 

Now, it is the same with you the Christian. The covenant that gave birth to you was a blood covenant, not the blood of goat, ram and turtle doves. No! Not the blood of pigeons but the precious blood of Jesus. The promises of the covenant were words in blood.

For you to doubt any of God’s testimonies in the Gospel translate to you saying that God spat on the blood of His son. It is you saying that God lied in the blood of His son. And He is not going to accept that. Not at all.

This is why you can be in their terms a very good Christian or pastor but if you cannot and will not believe what God had said in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus, you will still die from COVID or any other ailments. It is not about being a good Christian. It’s about blood covenants

 God bless you!
