Covenant (Part 2)

In order to embrace God's promises, you will need to enlarge your spiritual borders (Isaiah 54:1-3).  You must put aside small thinking, because the blessing God is about to pour out on you will not fit within the parameters of your natural reasoning.  

This blessing will not be poured into the old vessels of tradition.  It will not be limited by the parameters of your present life.  You will break forth on the right hand and the left.  You will inherit the Gentiles (the nations).  You will march into the desolation of sinful cities, violent slums, dangerous prisons, and drug houses to deliver people from the very gates of Hell.  This is your divine destiny!

God commanded Abraham to walk through the land and declared that He would give it to him.  Applied to us spiritually, this means we can walk through “the land” of our households and claim our children for God.  We can walk through the desolation of our cities and nations, knowing God has given this territory into our hands spiritually.

There was a widow lady in Old Testament times who was in deep debt.  She owed so much money to her creditors that they were about to seize her sons to serve as indentured servants to pay off the obligations in 2 Kings 4.  

The prophet of God told this woman to obtain as many empty vessels as possible from her friends, family, and neighbors. Then he told her to use the little oil she had and fill the vessels.  She obeyed, and as she poured into the empty pots, the oil was multiplied.  The oil continued to multiply as long as there was an empty receptacle.  The miracle was only limited by what she had room to receive.

If you are to reach your destiny, you must put aside small thinking.  Open your heart and mind to an unlimited God with unlimited resources that He longs to bestow upon you.  Everywhere Abraham set his foot, God gave it to him.  He will do the same for you spiritually.

Get rid of the limits you have placed on God.  He is not limited. except by your small thinking.  Your destiny is bigger than you think.  God has greater plans for you than you can imagine.

Rise up today in the spirit world.  Walk through “the land” of your household, your ministry, your community, and your nation.  As an heir of the Abrahamic covenant, God has declared: “I will give it unto you!”  Claim it in the name of Jesus.  Get rid of your small thinking.
