*“Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:” ““As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.” Genesis 17:3-4, 9-11 NKJV*

As it were, God is ever faithful and committed to keeping His covenant with anyone He choses to relate with. However, the faithfulness of God to perform His covenant with every human without exception is also contingent on the faithfulness of the individual to observe and completely fulfill the term(s) of the covenant.

God is Spirit and His blessings are eternal in nature. They are not subject to any variation or shadow of turning. Therefore, the critical and the uncompromising term of every covenant of God with any man is the circumcision of the foreskin of the human FLESH.

Whatever is of the flesh at best remains the flesh regardless of any education, training and exposure given to it (John 3:6). The flesh except it is completely removed brings no profit to anyone (John 6:63). Also, the flesh at its best is enmity against God, it does not submit to the rule of God and it can never please God. Anyone controlled by the flesh cannot prosper under God’s covenant (Romans 5:5-8).

It is therefore imperative for anyone under God’s covenant to first and foremost experience the evacuation of the foreskin of the flesh, the sinful human nature before the spiritual life can be transplanted (Ezekiel 36:26-28). Without this, it is impossible for anyone to receive the eternal inheritance promised by God for they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). May the Lord God help you this day to do as He has instructed in order that He may bless you just He has promised. Good morning and do have a blessed week/year.
