Walking In The Covenant Blessing



               through Christ.

                  “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to
                  him and said, I am the Almighty God; walk and live habitually
                  before Me and be perfect (blameless, wholehearted, complete). And
                  I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you
                  and will multiply you exceedingly. Then Abram fell on his face,
                  God said to him, as for me behold my Covenant (solemn pledge)

                  is with you, and you shall be father of many nations. Nor shall
                  your name no longer be Abram [high, exalted father]; but your
                  name shall be Abraham [father of a multitude], for I have made
                  you the father of many nations. And I will make you exceedingly
                  fruitful and will make nations of you, and kings will come from
                  you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and
                  your descendants after you throughout their generations for an
                  everlasting, solemn pledge, to be God to you and to your posterity
                  after you, and I will give to you and your posterity after you the

                  land in which you are stranger [going from place to place], all the
                  land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their
                  God. Genesis 12:1-8 [AMPC]

               Abraham for instance is noted as having immense wealth as it was
               written of him by his servant

                  “The Lord has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become
                  rich; and he has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold,

                  and servants and maids and camel and donkeys” Genesis 24:35
                  [NASB]

                  “Now Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver and Gold”
