Deuteronomy 7:9 ” Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations”

DAILY READING – –Luke 12:32-59; Genesis 22; Psalm 15

After declaring its independence in 1948, Israel immediately faced wars from neighboring Arab countries and had to spend millions of dollars on defense, while still trying to build its economy. The new Modern Israel started off at what was probably the worst starting point in any nation’s economic history. At that time, Israel lacked any significant source of revenue; it lacked oil, gas, gold, iron, coal, timber and even water. When this fledgling economy was burdened by the costs of the 1973 and 1982 wars, the result was an inflation that by 1985 reached 415%, while national debt soared to 270% of the national product. At that point Israel’s economy was pitiable, and its currency was ridiculed as paper money. Foreign currency reserves dwindled so fast that Israel was almost at a point where it could barely buy a single oil barrel from overseas.
However, the Jews, aware of God’s covenant with their fathers, held on to His promises to prosper them. Though the economy looked bad, the people of Israel worked hard and relied on God to grant them the wisdom and direction to improve their economy. Miraculously a few years later, Israel’s economy drastically turned around to become an international success story. Israel’s economic growth has been the fastest in the developed world this past century. Today, the shekel is very strong. The country that in 1985 was on the brink of spending its last dollar now has a trade surplus. Though Israel was at the verge of economic collapse, through reliance on God’s covenant and promise, the situation was turned around and rather than sink, the nation has continued to soar.

Despite their shortcomings, God still honors His promises to Israel’s covenant fathers. Indeed Israel’s continual existence today as a nation, reflects God’s faithfulness to keep covenant.
And if God still honors His old covenant with Israel, He will certainly honor His new covenant with us through Christ. Ours is a covenant based on better promises. And one thing we must know is that in a covenant, we have a part to play. And if you want God to fulfill His part then we must fulfill ours.
In Jeremiah 29:11-13 God promises that when we seek Him with all our heart, He will be found of us and He will turn away our captivity. Therefore as you seek God in this season, expect Him to honor His covenant and turn every captivity in your life. He has not called the sons of Jacob to seek Him in vain. There is a reward for them that diligently seek Him.
When you are in covenant with God, you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in its season. When you serve God sincerely favor will come upon your life that will cause you to prosper even in a desert. [Psalm 5;12].
Therefore in this season, as we fulfill the covenant obligation to seek God with all our heart, let us have the expectation of the manifestation of His promises to open greater open doors for us. Indeed what God’s mouth has promised, His hand is able to perform in our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to fulfill the conditions set forth in Your Word for me, so that I can receive the blessings You have promised. I thank You Lord, for speedy manifestations of Your promises in my life in Jesus Name.
