Goodevening every1&Pastor,
Sir i have question here please, most of time when i read the bible, is to increase my knowledge or it will be a time im dealing with something&God would have led me2a scripture that deals with that situation@the time.

I never took the reference verse seriously because everytime i would pray the holy spirit would lead me either2the same verse or another that deals with the situation, i realise iv been selfish because i never thought ill be in position2help some1with the word of God, so where iam im still learning&God has helped me so much2get here, that im able2think of other people not just me, praying2learn more&eat more of the word, but when im speaking with some1, ill just remember what's in the verse but the reference i wouldn't know.

Lately i don't like this because iv realised i omit some very important contents, as what i would have grapped@the time of my reading is what i needed@the time, what can i do2remember the verses, so i can be able2help some1 refere 2the bible themselves, id also like2share the word of God with people but its impossible without reference&its lovely with reference??

Thank you

The word of God has little or nothing to the with "written words/paper".

In essence, you must understand that God is not interested in how many bible pages or verses you can memorise or cram.

God Is more interested on how much impacts his words has in your spirit,soul,body, life, thought et al and how much you fear and tremble before him and his words.

That being said, cramming these important bible verse wouldn't be a bad idea as along as you are able to connect with them while praying or prophesying as it helps in that aspect and connect with your faith.

Indeed, numbers are not important here but how you are able to key into these words and become your daily living and part of your life.

The word "bible " is just a/some paper(s) and sort of as it's no use without inspiration of the holy spirit while reading or meditating on them.
Mind you? The holy spirit isn't interested on how many bible verses you can cram or read on a daily basis but to impact your body,spirit,soul and life and minister to you, and ofcourse how these words become part of your life.

As for the need to cram or memorise them? That shouldn't be your priority but the impact therein and the ministration of the holy spirit.

But if you truly feel the need to have these words along with their bible verses memorise and for the sake of impact lives with that?

Get a note book, or a notepad on your phone or utilise the doc (if you phone has it) on your phone to note the verses down along with their messages.
With time and as you begin to carry them along and it become part of you? In no time you will memorise them and they will become part of your memory verses before you realise it.

I hope this helps.

Bless u.

2.how important is it2remain faithful2it?

3.does the convernant need2be renewed if so how?

4.please help with scriptures about it, thank you Sir, God bless you in Jesus name amen

[ebankole]

This is a very a deep and large topic(questions) that carries "subs " and/or cut across hence it dependent on where we want to focus or treat.

As, we have :

• Seed covenant or covenantal seed.
• Tithe covenant.
• Soul/life covenant : You vow to live the rest of life for jesus without looking back.
• Service covenant.
• Holiness covenant.

• Anointing or calling covenant : i.e, Pastor Bankole made a covenant to serve God wholeheartedly without looking back.

• Evangelism covenant.
• Offering covenant.
• Child dedication covenant : i.e, Samuel mother made a covenant with God that may Samuel serve God all his life et al.

---

So, it depends on what part or which type of these covenant you want (us) to treat.

Bless you.

Thank You Sir, i see now that its very broad, this question i ask because i had been unemployed 4almost a year, all this time praying2God, giving in church, seeking advise but things didnt changed.

I realised a change after i got advice2pray against foundational powers, this was good&my prayers started2change.

My prayer was God bless me with a job&i promise i will look4a department in church were i can serve You, it didnt take long after a month i started going2a lot of interviews&i had that confidence2say, God i want this type of job this type of pay, even though i wasn't working when i went4interview&didnt like what they offered or maybe working hours or the type of work i turned them down.

Finally God blessed me with a job i never imagined that i could possibly work, everything fell into place, so i believe i entered into a convernant with God, Sir correct me if im wrong?

I saw the hand of God His presence with me in a way i never seen before, i saw Him fight&win4me, is this a convernant?

YES!

Infact, You wouldn't have said it better, Grace.

In essence, I believe that should a great lesson for all of you, that prayers, fasting without any form of covenant or commitment to God may yield little or not result.
There is power in covenant, I mean, whatever form of covenant we choose to make or call it.

Tithe, seed,self or service covenant among others..
Covenant with God propel and establish our grace and bring to manifestation our expectations/prayers we might choose to render unto God.

Mind you, Yours is called " Service or Self covenant".
God is often impress and inspire whenever you mke a covenant with him or sow unto his/his kingdom or work.
Infact God favour those who make a covenant with him or sow more unto him,his kingdom than these that doesn't.

Bible ref :

James 2:14-26

Faith Without Works Is Dead


14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Note : the above message is was actually talking about given and was referring thw word " work" as a a covenant of given :seed, offering, service among others.

Can you now see the power of covenant?


I will leave you with these as well to understand the basis and the benefit of covenant/sacrifice with God. And indeed to know that God does shows favorism.

And I quote :
◄ Genesis 4:5 ►
Abel also brought a gift--the best of the firstborn lambs from his flock.The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

Meaning, prayers and fasting with work/covenant with God? Attracts God attention than prayer/fasting without work/covenant.

From the above message you can tell that whenever you make a vow/covenant to God it attracts uncommon attention/favour and mercy of God.

Who among ye won't love or take of a child that take good care of you more than the rest? Therefore, let's put ourselves on God's shoe before we wonder if God is being fair or not!

Do you now understand/see the reason why after many years of prayers nothing was forth coming until you made a covenant with God?

Halleluyaiii

I want to believe that I have been a able to treat or do justice to this topic?




Bless You!
