Your Promise (Part 2)

You are walking in the footsteps of Abraham to your Promised Land as you make our journey toward your calling.  As a true believer, you are Abraham’s spiritual seed and the promises that God made to him extend down through the centuries to you: 

Romans 9:8 "That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."

Everything you need to fulfill your calling spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially is provided by the Abrahamic covenant.  Yet, there are few believers today who comprehend this and are claiming these amazing covenant privileges.

These blessings from God are so great that they extend to areas where man would say you are crazy to even have hope.  the Bible says in Romans 4:18 that Abraham “...against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.” It's the Abrahamic covenant that will enable you to believe when there is no hope in the natural:

-The blessing of Abraham goes where the doctor has said, “No hope.”
-It goes where the banker has said, “No hope.”

-It goes where the attorney has said, “No hope.”
-It goes where the overseer has said, “No hope.”

-It goes where those around you have declared, “No hope.”

Claiming your inheritance under the Abrahamic covenant will renew your hope and give you supernatural faith to persevere and reach your divine calling.

When Abraham first received this powerful covenant, it was so great that he fell on his face before God in Genesis 17:17.  But the Bible declares that Abraham  “... staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform” in Romans 4:20, 21.

These promises are so great that they could cause you to stagger in unbelief. Like Abraham, however, you must be fully persuaded that the provisions of this covenant are for you and that God is able to bring them to pass in your life.

By faith, be fully persuaded of the amazing promises of God.  Every provision has already been made to enable you to achieve your calling.
