The Blood Covenant is a guarantee enabling us to know unquestionably that what God promised He performs.
Genesis 15:9-13
Verses 9-13 state, “So He 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.’ Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. Then He said to Abram: ‘Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.’” In verse 8, Abraham asked, “How shall I know?” Notice what God said to Abraham in verse 13, “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.” God was doing something here that we now know to be Blood Covenant. He was answering Abraham’s need to know. At times we wrestle with God’s promises to us because we have a need to know. The Blood Covenant is a guarantee enabling us to know unquestionably that what God promised He performs. Blood Covenant is a response to Abraham’s question. Because Abraham is the father of all them that believe, we need to build faith the way Abraham built faith. God knew that and that is why He made Abraham an example for us. Every generation since Abraham has had to walk out this faith-building process. We need to learn it and start walking it out so that we can have redemption as our reality. Redemption is Blood-bought and that redemption is the platform of our message to a fallen world. Let’s build the faith we need to walk in it, in Jesus’ name! That is what we use to bring in a harvest of cities and nations. Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain!
- Pray for the nation of Israel that in this season, when they are surrounded all around by unrest and pressure there will be a rest of Jehovah.
- Pray for that nation to continue to stand strong against the continuing terrorist threats that surround her. Pray for divine order upon that nation.
- Pray for wisdom for the prime minister and all movers and shakers who are key to decision making concerning the borders for Israel.
- Pray that the word of the Lord in Isaiah 49 will stand; He will rather expand the borders of Israel rather than decrease it.
- Pray that indeed the guardian angel over Israel will watch over the Lord’s people during these days of great pressure from within and without the nation. Dan 12:1.
