THE REALITY OF SUPERNATURAL SUPPLY.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 16:18-19.
Jesus was speaking here; that I will build my church and the gate of hell will not prevail and in the next verse; he talks about the gate, and when you see the word gate; it simply means something has been installed to stop the advancement of a thing. What makes the gate to be a useless thing? It is when you possess the key. The key always open or give you access into the gate. The keys of the kingdom is not about shaking or you nodding your head, or shouting at the gate; but that key, is the revelation of the truth (having the working knowledge of the truth), because it will destroy or unlock the ability of that gate from stopping you.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67:1-2
After the word upon us, you see the word Selah. What does it means? It means don’t go to the next verse yet; it said stop and think about verse one (Ps.67.1 – God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah). Be merciful; that was the cry. The cry is for the the way of the Lord to be known. Many people cry for the mercy of God and God hears; because he is a merciful God. Even before we cry for mercy, he already had mercy on us. It is very easy for us to pray for God’s mercy; but very few people have mercy on themselves. The mercy of God will have no meaning in your life, until you have mercy on yourself. Verse two says; to know the way, God has programmed us from the beginning to the end in a glorious place; but until we have mercy on ourselves. We have to understand that God is a covenant keeping God. We have to be minded; because your covenant mindedness is what makes you to make the best of your Christianity. We like religion, all the rituals; but unfortunately all the rituals are not ordained by God. So Jesus said I will give you keys, that will unlock. One of the main gate that the devil has installed against the expansion of the kingdom; is the gate of lack and want. It will be impossible to have dominion without financial liberty or freedom is fake. The covenant is real. Jesus has given us the key to unlock it in ( Deut 8:18.)
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deut 8:18.
The ability to walk in supernatural supply is as a result of practicing the covenant. Supernatural supply is not a promise from God; because there is a difference between a promise and a covenant. A promise is something you say and you can still break it while covenant is not like that, when it is broken it has consequences attached to it; because it is more than a promise. It is an agreement between two parties; that have conditions attached to it. So when it comes to our walk with God; it is a covenant walk. We have the provision and by covenant God has sworn that; the provision are available to you, according to (Revelation 5:12.)
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Rev 5:12.
All these redemptive benefits are also available but according to the condition of the covenant; those provision has conditions that you have to meet with before it can become a reality. The reasons is because it is a covenant, you have to play your role otherwise it will not happen. Our relationship with God is a covenant relationship. As a result of that God sent his only begotten son to save us, ( Jesus died for us). So we are not praying o God save me; because before we prayed he has already saved us. The bible says in the book of Revelation; that Jesus is the lamb of God that was slain from the foundation of the world. Before Adam and Eve were created the way for them to come back to God if they sinned has been provided. Jesus was already slained from the foundation of the world; so it’s not something we beg for to save you, No! you have been saved even before you sinned. But even thou people have been saved; they will still go to hell if they refuse to obey the terms which is to accept Jesus as their personal lord and saviour.
