Everything! As a born-again, New Testament child of God, you too have a blood covenant with Him. Only yours is “a better covenant…established upon better promises” (Hebrews 8:6), and based on a better sacrifice (9:23). Your covenant with God—the new covenant—is founded on the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Blood Covenant Increase Is Supernatural Even though the old covenant wasn’t as wonderful as the new, the Israelites still did quite well on it. Think about how wildly they prospered when God brought them out of Egypt, for example. Just days before they left that place, they didn’t have any wealth or any way to get it. They’d been slaves for years. But God had promised centuries earlier that He would bring them out of there “with great substance” (Genesis 15:14)—and that’s precisely what He did. He told Moses, right before their departure from Egypt, to instruct the Israelites to ask “the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.” The Israelites did so, and God “made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians” (Exodus 12:35-36, "New International Version"). Talk about a fast financial turnaround! Proverbs 13:22 says, “The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just,” and God got to the Israelites what had been laid up for them very quickly. He transferred into their hands the wealth of the nation that had enslaved them and did it so fast that one day they were broke and in bondage and the next day they were rich and free. The Bible is full of such one-day turnarounds. The Israelites experienced them time and again. If you’ve read the Old Testament, you remember the stories: • One day the Israelites were marching around the impenetrable walls of the Canaanite-owned city of Jericho, the next day those walls had fallen flat, and the city belonged to the people of God. (Joshua 6) • One day the Israelites were starving to death and under siege by an enemy army, the next day they were eating well and dividing up the spoil of their enemies, who had fled and left behind all their food, equipment, silver and gold. (2 Kings 7) • One day an Israelite widow was so destitute she was about to be forced to sell her sons into slavery, the next day she was in the oil business. (2 Kings 4) That’s the kind of increase that comes from being in blood covenant with God. It’s more than just natural increase. It’s more than just getting a raise at work. Blood covenant increase is supernatural! It’s a move of God! It’s God sending angels to dig up treasure and get it to you. It’s God working signs and wonders and doing things for you that only He can do. How do you believe for that kind of increase? You follow the instructions God gave Abraham. When He promised to give him and his descendants the entire land of Canaan, God said, “Abraham, lift up your eyes!” When you read God’s promises of prosperity in the Bible, you can’t see by just looking around down here in this natural realm how those promises can come to pass in your life. You can’t see just by looking at your paycheck or your current bank balance how God could put in your hands the wealth of the wicked and make you a blessing to all the nations of the earth. To see how that can happen you must lift your eyes and look to God. You must look up at the One who has worked miracles throughout 6,000 years of human history. The One who said to the Israelites when He promised them a land of their own and led them out of Egypt: “Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:4-5). The Israelites didn’t own one inch of property when they heard those words. They could hardly imagine themselves possessing a land big enough for them and all their descendants. So, God reminded them why it was possible. “All the earth is mine,” He said. “I have what it takes to make you a special people and I am giving you this earth.” God is saying the same to us, as His children, today! He’s still saying to us, as the spiritual seed of Abraham, “The earth is mine to give, and if you will hear, believe and obey Me, I will give it to you.” He is saying, as Jesus put it, “Seek…first of all [God’s] kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides” (Matthew 6:33, "Amplified Bible, Classic Edition"). God wants you to have “all things”! He didn’t make this earth or anything on it for the devil and his bunch. He made it for His own family, and He wants you to have all that He has set aside for you. So, believe Him for it. Put faith in the blood covenant He has made with you, lift your eyes to Him, and take your promised land. V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) The devil does not own one inch of the earth or any of its resources. (Ps. 24:1) 2) God gave dominion over the earth to His son and daughter, Adam and Eve. (Gen. 1:28) 3) The devil got his hands on the earth after Adam and Eve allowed him to deceive them. (Gen. 3) 4) God made a way to get the earth back into the hands of His family by making covenant with Abram. (Gen. 12:2-3) 5) God told His people that if they would hear, believe and obey Him, He would give them all things. (Matt. 6:33, "Amplified Bible, Classic Edition") ************************************* ************************************* ************************ Digital issue MAGAZINE.KCM.ORG ************************ ************************************* GLORIA’S SCRIPTURES FOR Believing God for a House * * * * * * * * * * * * * * For a FREE download of these scriptures, go to kcm.org/housescriptures * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Luke 4:18 1 Corinthians 2:7-10 Amos 9:13-15 Acts 17:26 Deuteronomy 6:10-11 Proverbs 9:1 Proverbs 10:22 Proverbs 12:7 Proverbs 15:6 Proverbs 22:4 Proverbs 24:3-4 Proverbs 24:27 Isaiah 32:17-18 Jeremiah 29:4-7 Jeremiah 31:12-14 Psalm 16:5-6 Psalm 31:19-20 Psalm 66:12 Psalm 68:6, 10, 19 Psalm 107:7-9 Psalm 107:29-32 Psalm 107:35-38 Psalm 107:41-43 Psalm 112 Psalm 118:5, 23 Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.
