Text: Isaiah 49:8 (KJV)
Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard
thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to
inherit the desolate heritages.
We as God’s children are evidence of His
covenant. He has made His saving grace available for us, and we can also see
evidence of it in the times of old. We are enjoying God’s help in our lives
today because of His covenant promises in the time past. We are unhurt despite
all that we have faced and experienced not because of our efforts, but because
of His promises which we received by faith. Many times, we tend to forget this
but it is time we are reminded of this. He alone has been fighting for us, and
we cannot disregard this help, but instead, we should be grateful. I tell you,
if you even try to take the glory for your life, you will lose it. Luke 17:33- Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose
it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
The truth is, He has a purpose for preserving us, which is why He is
in a covenant agreement to preserve us, and we need to allow Him to do His work
in our lives. There may be heat all over, but by His covenant, we are exempted.
Your preservation is not based on your protective plan and strategy but by His
outstretched hand of God's mercy. Isaiah 42:6- I the
Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep
thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles. I
tell you, right in the deepest of the challenge, He can make fountains to flow
to sustain you. So always remember, you did not merit this redemptive package,
instead, it was given to you freely by Christ righteousness as we are justified
by faith.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.May the Lord continue to bring us out of those deepest fountains of
storm by His covenant, in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, please help us to always keep our own part of the
covenant, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember, the shadow following you is a proof that you are
moving by His Covenant.
