ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

       Covenant is a contract or agreement between two parties. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word berith is always thus translated. Berith is derived from a root which means "to cut," and hence a covenant is a "cutting," with reference to the cutting or dividing of animals into two parts, and the contracting parties passing between them, in making a covenant. God also made covenant with some people (Gen. 15; Jer. 34:18, 19).
    The Lord made a covenant with Abram and changed name Abraham (Genesis 12:4,5; Genesis 17:1-5). The Lord proposed to make of him a great nation and to perpetuate the covenant through his offspring (Genesis 17:6,7).

     This year, the Lagos Central Baptist Conference is concerned about homes as the bedrock of a local Church. As Kingdom people this is  our year of glorious visitation of God to every BELIEVER'S FAMILY. Each home will enjoy DOUBLE PERFECTION through various open doors. Indeed, better days are ahead
   
       The above encompasses the Abraham's covenant blessings given by God when he said " 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: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." (Gen.12:2-3)

Abraham blessings are mine/2x
I am blessed in the morning, afternoon and evening, 
Because!
Abraham blessings are mine

Indeed, better days are ahead
