The clauses!
By Riqui Ricón*
And Abram fell on his
face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with
thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any
more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations
have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make
nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my
covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for
an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And
I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a
stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be
their God. And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore,
thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which
ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child
among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your
foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. (Gen 17.3-11).
Dear one, God is God
of pacts. This doesn’t mean that there are other gods, or that He goes making
pacts constantly. What it means is, that God wants to be really clear about Him
being honorable, having honor and fulfilling His Word. First the sun, the moon
and the stars will stop to exist before He stops fulfilling His Word.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words
shall not pass away. (Mat 24.35).
Knowing and believing
this is essential both in your relationship with your heavenly Father and to
know that you can reach with success God’s purposes for your life.
Look how this was
something a young man of barely 14 or 15 years old, called David, had very
clear. When a whole army and the very own king of Israel were trembling with
fear before a swaggering giant, David went and defeated him by killing him. How
could he do that? He only spoke to the giant making him know that he, Goliath,
was no one and he, David, had a pact with God, a pact which God would never
fail to fulfil.
And
David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man
that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel?
for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the
living God?... Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a
sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the
name of the Lord of
hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will
the Lord deliver thee
into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I
will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls
of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know
that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and
spear: for the battle is theLord's,
and he will give you into our hands.
(1 S 17.26, 44-47).
David didn’t have
more faith than the one you have, for just as he, you know that God does not
lie, or regrets His word, that if He said it, then He will do it, that if God
spoke it, then He will execute it.
Whatever kind of
goliath you are facing today, you just need to remember there is a pact and
this pact is much greater and better that the one David had. It is the New
Pact, established in our Lord’s, Jesus, beautiful and Powerful Blood. It is a
better Pact established upon better promises. I is the New Pact which God will
never fail to fulfil.
So, take some of the
clauses of this New Pact and remember them audible to your goliaths:
I
can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Phil 4.13). I can
do all! There is not a problem, circumstance or situation that I can not solve!
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
(1 Jn 4.4). I belong to God! I am His loved Child! Just because of this, I have
defeated! Greater is He, the Holy Spirit, who is in me and with me, than the
one who is in the world!
Nay,
in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (Ro 8.37). I am more
than a conqueror in all, absolutely all, things!
Thou shalt not
be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor
for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. (Psalm 91.5-7). I will not
fear, for even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, You, Lord
Jesus, are with me! I am a blessed Child of the Lord and will not look when the
evil comes before me, for even though bad things are happening around me, they
will not reach me!
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? the Lord is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even
mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and
fell. Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though
war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. (Sal 27.1-3). God is
my light and salvation! God Himself is the fortress of my life! I don’t fear
anything! My enemies fall and trip in front of me! I trust in You, my God and
Father! I have peace and joy for the man (woman) who trusts in you is joyful!
Surely he hath borne
our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed. (Isa 53.4-5).I am free from every disease and
pain! I am healthy by Jesus’ Blood and wounds!
In His pact with
Abraham, God promised to multiply his offspring and to bless him; in the New
Pact in Jesus’ Blood, God puts you way higher than what He promised, by
legitimately making you His Child: An heir of God and coheir with Jesus Christ.
For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.The Spirit itself beareth witness
with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs;
heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ (Ro 8.15-17a).
This is barely a
little token of the great and beautiful promises God has given you with the en
that you can participate of His Divine Nature through the New Pact in Jesus’
Blood.
Through
these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that
through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption in the world caused by evil desires. (2 Pe 1.4 NIV).
It’d be worth to do
everything it takes to know, remember, meditate and, above all, use in your
favor the clauses of the New Pact this year.
This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success. (Jos 1.8).
According to the
clauses of the Pact there is only one way to make your path prosper and that
everything goes well for you, and this is by making the Bible the maximum norm
of your existence.
Let’s pray out loud:
Dear heavenly Father,
thank you so much for loving me so much that, even though I was dead in crimes
and sins You gave me life together with Christ. Thank you for the New Pact in
the Blood of Your Son Jesus with which You have taken me from darkness to Your
admirable light, legitimately making me Your Child. Lord Jesus, I love you with
all my being! I want to honor that New Pact in Jesus’ Blood and I speak to all
my problems, diseases and afflictions declaring that I belong to God! I am His
Child! Just because of this I have already conquered! Greater is He, the Holy
Spirit, who is in me and with me than the one who is in the world! I am more
than a conqueror in all, absolutely all, things! I will not fear, for even if I
walk in the valley of the shadow of death You, Lord Jesus, are with me! I am a
blessed Child of the Lord and I will not look when evil comes upon me for, even
though bad things are happening around me, they will not reach me! God is my
light and my salvation! God Himself is the fortress of my life! I fear nothing!
My enemies fall and trip before me! I trust in You, my God and Father! I have
peace and joy, for the man (woman) who trusts in You is joyful! I am free from
all disease and pain! By Jesus’ Blood and wounds I am healthy! In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Note of importance:
How do I become a
Child of God? How do I establish my relationship with the Almighty?
Simply say this
prayer, placing all of your attention and heart into what you’re saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe
that you are the Son of God. That you came to this world from the Virgin Mary
to pay for all of my sins, and I have been a sinner. This is why today I tell
you, I accept. I accept your sacrifice on the cross! Yes, I accept Your
precious Blood, spilled to the very last drop, out of love for me! I open my
heart to you and invite you in, because I want you, oh Lord Jesus, to be my one
and only Savior, my God, my King, my Lord. Thank you, God Almighty, for with
this simple prayer and declaration of faith I have come from death to Life, I
have been displaced from the shadows and into Your marvelous Light. Today I
have been Reborn! God I am now Your Child! You are now my Father! I will never
again be alone! Never again will I live defeated. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
