How to Obtain a Covenant Promise

 

 

Since we are grafted into the Abrahamic covenant right along with Abraham, we need to see how Abraham actually got what God promised him in this covenant. In other words, what did he do to receive the content of the promises? There are three things Abraham did that we must do also to get our promises. Hebrews 6 gives us the first two of them.

Heb 6:15
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. (KJV)

1. In Chapter Three of our book, The Unbroken Force of Abraham’s Blessings, we show you the meaning of the word obtained in the above verse. Obtain means get upon. Abraham “got upon” the specific promise God gave him that filled his immediate need.

He got upon his promise and rode it like a bucking horse. He stayed on top of his promise till he rode it down and got the fulfillment of it.

2. Now see the statement above, “after he had patiently endured.” In other words, Abraham was not deterred by the lapse of time between the giving of the promise and the time when he received the fulfillment of it. Neither should we be deterred by the gap of time when we get upon our promise and the time when the answer comes.

So much of the time there is a gap between the time we get upon the promise and the time we see it come to fulfillment. During this gap we should not be deterred. We must stay on top of our promise till we ride it down like a bucking horse. Remember also that our every need is contained in God’s covenant with Abraham: healing, prosperity, family well being and salvation.

3. Finally, we must find a specific Abrahamic promise that meets our specific and immediate need. Remember that God's covenant with Abraham contained healing, prosperity and family well being for you in addition to your salvation.

 

What you need, then, is a specific promise in one or more of these categories. Here is one Abrahamic Scripture Promise for you in each of the healing, prosperity and family well being categories.

This is one of my all time favorite Healing Scriptures: Isaiah 53:5 "With his stripes we are healed."

This is probably the most comprehensive and powerful of all Prosperity Scriptures: Proverbs 3:9-10 "Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."

What more is there for our families? This Family Well Being Scripture covers all the bases: Isaiah 44:3 "I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:"

See Chapter Four in our book, How to Obtain Abraham's Blessings for an extensive list of Scriptures you can use covering all the categories above. Go now and print them out. They are free on the Internet.

 

Get on top of these promises. They are in the Abrahamic covenant for you.
