The Covenant Factor

(Genesis 30:27 KJV) And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake


The covenant of God is very real. It is the strongest commitment known to man. It was the blood covenant that gave man the opportunity to connect back to God. If not for the covenant we would have been forgotten long time ago.

The saints of old knew something about the covenant. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a covenant-keeping God. Your covenant is the 'difference maker' in this world. It separates God's children from the rest of the world.

Laban, the uncle of Jacob, realized this and was willing to do everything possible to keep him in his employment. This was why he was willing to do anything to please Jacob.

You have a covenant with God. You were designed to excel. Your human spirit is now one with God's spirit so that you can excel naturally.

Anticipate your excellence. You serve the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If God prospered all these ones then you have a right to excel. You have a better covenant that ensures excellence. It is time to factor in it.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 30
