Understanding Covenant
Dimension of Prosperity
Bishop David Oyedepo, Winners Chapel
International
From scriptures, we understand that prosperity in the Kingdom
doesn’t answer to fasting nor does it answer to prayer or prayer
of agreement. It only answers to our understanding and practice
of covenant details. What we are selling or the business we are
involved in is not what determines our prosperity. No! It is the
light under which we are operating that determines the results
we get. As it is written,
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 (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Thus, the platform for wealth is released based on the covenant. When we
step out into the covenant, we encounter the power to get wealth.
Prosperity is not a promise we claim in prayers or with fastings and
confession. No! It’s a covenant we practise. That means, God has set a
stage for us, but we must understand our part of it and then the power to
realise the promise will be delivered to us.
A covenant as it were is like a contract. So, it involves two or more people.
In this case, it involves just you and God. God is the covenantor and
we are the covenantee; that is, we are the beneficiary of the deal. All
we need is a good understanding of what the covenant entails and we will
be up in abundance. The Bible says,
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my
lips (Psalm 89:34).
God is a covenant keeper. His side of every covenant is forever secured; it
is our side that is variable. But when we lay hold on the terms that relate
to us and apply ourselves to it, God is committed. And once we locate the
covenant and we enter into it, our struggles will come to an end. Since
that day in March 1981 when I saw the covenant of prosperity, I
entered into my rest. We don’t pray or fast for a covenant, we just enter
into it. As it is written,
And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers
with all their heart and with all their soul; And all Judah rejoiced at the
oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their
whole desire; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest
round about (2 Chronicles 15:12, 15).
What Then, Is The Covenant Dimension Of Prosperity ?
The Covenant will Always Prevail: When God said to Abraham,
…Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy
father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of
thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:1-2).
He moved as he was commanded yet he met famine there (Genesis 12:9-
10). But in spite of that famine Abraham prevailed! As it is written,
And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold (Genesis
13:2).
Also, the Bible records that Isaac prevailed in famine,
And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in
the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the
Philistines unto Gerar. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in
the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the
man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very
great: For he had possession of flocks, and possessions of herds, and
great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him (Genesis 26:1,
12-14).
Note that the covenant is stronger than any climate! There is no economic
dearth or crisis that can break the efficacy of the covenant. Furthermore,
in Jacob’s time,
… the famine was sore in the land (Genesis 43:1).
But in spite of this, Jacob still had more than enough. So, famine is
not our problem, ignorance of the covenant is the problem. God said in
Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…
not for famine or for economic crisis of money failure.
In summary, if famine could not stop our covenant fathers,
«Famine famine cannot stop us because the economy of our
