The acceptance letter arrived on a Tuesday morning.
Alex stared at it for a long time, hands trembling. A full scholarship. A prestigious university. Her name, right there on official letterhead. For a girl who had watched her mother count coins on the kitchen table every evening, this was nothing short of a miracle.
She had prayed for it in that small bedroom, on her knees, long after everyone else had gone to sleep. And now, here it was. She told everyone — her pastor, her neighbors, her mother, who wept and lifted her hands to heaven right there between the stove and the refrigerator. “God made a way,” Sarah kept saying, and she meant every word.
Then came the morning everything went quiet.
Second year. She opened her banking app, and the number she saw made her stomach drop. No fees. No backup plan. No one to call. She sat at the edge of her bed and stared at the floor, and the question crept in like cold air under a door — Did God forget me?
Maybe you know that feeling. Maybe your crisis isn’t about school fees. Maybe it’s a business hemorrhaging money, a marriage straining at the seams, a dream that has gone completely silent. The details differ, but the weight is the same.
Here is what Alex didn’t know yet — and what you may not know either.
God does not abandon unfinished work. What felt like a collapse was actually a chapter in a much larger story, governed by something ancient and unbreakable — the covenants of God. Understanding them might be the very thing that turns your confusion into clarity, and your struggle into victory.
Key Takeaways
• God is the Senior Partner who takes the responsibility to perfect everything He starts in your life.
• Covenants are sealed by the spoken Word, the blood of Jesus, and the written “Book of the Covenant.”
• Transfer is a reality. Just as Jonathan transferred his mantle to David, Jesus transfers royalty and resources to you.
• The process may look messy, but the end result is always perfection. Stay in the oven!
• Tokens are physical signs that confirm your seriousness and destroy ungodly agreements with poverty or sickness.
What Are The Covenants of God?
To live a life of total victory, you must understand what a covenant is. A covenant is far more than a simple promise. It is a formal, legal agreement between two parties. It comes with specific rules. It has clear terms. In this divine partnership, there is a Senior Partner and a junior partner.
God is the Senior Partner. He is the Architect. He is the Engineer. We are the junior partners. He sets the terms of the agreement. Our job is to agree and follow.
Listen to me: You were never meant to be in charge of your own life! You didn’t choose your parents, your tribe or your country. God brought you here for an assignment. He is the Senior Partner who takes responsibility for your success.
Many people think salvation is just a ticket to heaven. But salvation is your entry into a functional partnership. The moment you say “Yes” to Jesus, you are ushered into the covenannts of God. You are no longer a stranger. You are no longer a beggar. You are an heir!
The Power of a “Sure Covenant”
“And because of all this, we make a sure covenant and write it; Our leaders, our Levites, and our priests seal it.” – Nehemiah 9:38 (NKJV)
In Nehemiah 9:38, the Bible speaks of a “sure covenant.” This is the foundation of our faith. A sure covenant means:
• It Never Fails: Human beings will disappoint you. Even your best friends might say “no” when you need them. But God’s agreement stands 100% forever.
• It is Functioning: This is not a dead piece of paper. It is operating in your life right now. It is a living, breathing force.
• It is Reliable: We don’t enter this to “try and see” if it works. There is no “try” in the Kingdom of God. We enter knowing it is already working.
• It Overcomes All Odds: Whether it is a covenant of long life, peace, or wealth, it is manifested to crush every obstacle.
The Foundation: Words, Blood, and the Book
A covenant is not valid until it is sealed. In God’s Kingdom, three pillars hold your agreement together.
1. The Words of the Covenant
Every agreement is confirmed by the words spoken. When Moses spent forty days on the mountain, he brought back more than rules. He brought back the “Words of the Covenant” (Exodus 34:28).
When you speak the Word of God, you are activating the legal terms of your partnership. Your words matter! Watch what you say!
2. The Blood of the Everlasting Covenant
A covenant requires a seal of life. In the Old Testament, they used animal blood. Today, we have the “blood of the everlasting covenant” (Hebrews 13:20). This is the blood of Jesus Christ.
This blood does something radical: it perfects you. It works in you to do what is well-pleasing to God.
How does this help your business or your grades? The blood perfects “every good work.” It makes your business strategies sharp. It makes your mind clear for exams. It ensures that even when you stumble—and we all stumble—the agreement remains intact. The blood stands as a permanent “Yes” to your destiny.
3. The Book of the Covenant
The Bible is not just a collection of stories. It is a legal document. Exodus 24:7 tells us that Moses took the “Book of the Covenant” and read it to the people.
Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.” – (NKJV)
The Bible is the Covenant Book of the Almighty God.
If you don’t read your Bible, you aren’t keeping your part of the agreement. You must stick to the words in the Book to see the covenant manifested in your life. It is your manual for success.
Trust the Process: From “Messy” to “Wow”
God is the Author and the Finisher. He is the Perfecter of your faith. But I want to warn you: the middle of the process can be messy. You might feel like you want to “jump out of your skin” because of the pressure.
Think about baking a cake. You mix flour, eggs, and oil. Before the heat hits it, that mixture looks “yuck”. If you look at the food coloring before it is applied, you might say, “Who would ever eat this?” But you must stay in the oven!
Your life might look “messy” right now. People might look at your bank account and say, “yuck!” But hold on! God is perfecting you. He is perfecting your reputation. He is perfecting your marriage. He is perfecting your education.
Actionable Insight: Stop talking too much and start receiving. Stop complaining about the messy stage. Even your enemies are part of the process! Enemies are actually good for the perfection. They keep you focused on the Senior Partner. They push you to rely on the covenant. When the process is complete, the same people who said “yuck” will look at your life and shout “Wow!”
The Power of Transfer: The Lesson of David and Jonathan
In 1 Samuel 18, we see a powerful example of a covenant. Jonathan and David made an agreement because they loved each other as their own souls. Jonathan was the prince. He was the heir to the throne. David was a shepherd boy.
Because of the covenant, Jonathan did something that shocked the kingdom. He stripped himself of his royal robe. He gave David his sword, his bow, his girdle, and his mantle. This was a complete transfer of authority. Jonathan was saying, “Everything I have now belongs to you.”
Jesus Christ, the “Son of David,” has done the same for you. Because you are in a covenant with Him, a transfer is taking place:
• Royalty: He takes off His robe of righteousness and puts it on you.
• Priesthood: He gives you the authority to stand before the Father.
• Resources: He transfers the wealth, positions, and supermarket-sized blessings you need.
This covenant did not stop with David. 1 Samuel 20:16 says Jonathan made a covenant with the “House of David.”
So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, “Let the Lord require it at the hand of David’s enemies.” – (NKJV)
This covenant extended to his seed forever. Because we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus, we are part of that lineage. We are heirs to the kingship covenant! You are included in the transfer!
Keep the Rules of the Agreement
A covenant is a two-way street. It has “dos and don’ts.” Ezekiel 17:18 warns that those who despise the oath and break the covenant face consequences.
“Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact gave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.” – (NKJV)
You cannot agree to a partnership and then live however you want. You must keep the rules. You must stay obedient to the Word.
However, if you have stumbled, there is hope. Deuteronomy 4:31 calls our God a merciful God.
“(For the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.” – (NKJV)
He will not forsake you. He will not destroy you. He will not forget the covenant. If you have been breaking the law, come back today. Ask for mercy. Let the blood of Jesus wash you. Renewal is possible right now!
Seal Your Covenant with a Token
In the Bible, covenants were often confirmed with a “token” or a physical sign. This is why we use special offerings to seal our agreement with God. This is not a bribe; you cannot bribe God! It is a seal. It is a way of saying, “Lord, I am serious about this partnership.”
When you lay a special token on the altar, you are making a declaration. You are telling the spirit world that every ungodly covenant is destroyed. Whether it is a covenant with:
• Witchcraft and darkness
• Poverty and lack
• Infirmity and chronic disease
• Misfortune and death
Those evil agreements are now null and void by the blood of Jesus! The token confirms that you are now operating under the covenants of God.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Trying to work out the formulas: You are not the engineer. Don’t try to connect “wire one and wire two.” Let God handle the mechanism. Your job is to follow.
2. Anchoring faith in people: People will let you down. I have had people I thought loved me say “no” when I needed them most. Do not take offense; just anchor your faith in the Almighty.
3. Complaining during the process: Murmuring stops the flow. If you are in the “messy” stage, start praising! Your praise is a sign that you trust the Perfecter.
4. Being a stranger to the Word: You cannot benefit from a contract you haven’t read. Read your Covenant Book (Bible) daily.
Conclusion: Step Into Your New Identity
You are not an orphan wandering the streets. You are a child of the Covenant. It is time to stop acting like a stranger who is begging for crumbs. Start acting like an heir! You have an agreement with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
The covenants of God are functional, operating, and manifested in your life right now. No matter where you came from or what your past looks like, your future is anchored in a God who cannot lie. Stand tall today. Keep the rules of the agreement. Stay in the Word.
Your testimony will eventually glorify God worldwide. Those who once looked at you and said “yuck” will stand in awe of what God has perfected. Stop being a stranger and start being an heir. Your “Wow” season is around the corner!
