COVENANT TURNAROUND

“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 possession of herds, and great store of servants:and the Philistines envied him.”Genesis 26:12-14.

One of the best selling mathematical models for wealth creation on the earth is the Ponzi scheme, many are involved in them. They come in different subtle shapes and forms, sometimes unrecognized by the practitioners. It could be a network or multi-level marketing strategy that promises unusual returns on investment but depends on the recruitment of more persons into the scheme. The Ponzi pyramid has one thing in common, an expiry or set date to crash depending on the intensity of subscription.

There is no mathematical model, scheme or scam that could turn a refugee to national envy in a year but the seedtime and harvest covenant. The covenant is the surest turnaround platform for the sower.

“The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. (The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)”Deuteronomy 1:10-11.

God by the covenant has prepared the platform for sure access to excess by the seedtime and harvest. Since Genesis 8:22, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob to David and now in Christ Jesus, the covenant is still at work. The covenant has proofs in every generation of its potency; beyond and above the returns of any mathematical model.

Hundredfold is not a hundred per cent but a thousand times better than whatever the mathematical model could ever offer. Every good seed planted in the good land according to covenant dictates turn and returns in hundredfold 

The turnaround desired is by the covenant of seedtime and harvest not by any mathematical modelling.

“But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”Matthew 13:8-9.

Prayer: 

Thank you father for the covenant turnaround beyond and above what mathematical modeling could afford. The good seed in the good land is my recipe for the hundredfold harvest of excess in the name of Jesus.

HUNDREDFOLD RETURNS

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”1 Corinthians 2:9.

Creation is not the product of chance neither recreation of the earth nor procreation. God has all of that well thought out and prepared from the foundation of the earth. Everything made or created has a seed, the seed is the guarantee for the future.

Long before the sense of reasoning was in man, God has prepared seed and ground, sowing for unusual harvest. Trading with these things prepared for us is the key to extraordinary living on the earth. The good seed in the good land is a signal to the earth for productivity.

“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 possession of herds, and great store of servants:and the Philistines envied him.”Genesis 26:12-14.

The hundredfold return is not by chance, it’s by the seedtime and harvest covenant. Everyone that follows the Isaac order of obedience obtains the same order of returns on investment. The return is not powered by the potency of the seed, fertility of the ground, choiceness of the location or skillfulness of the sower but by covenant obedience.

Covenant obedience is underrated but the force of distinction between the seed sown and the harvest received. Isaac sowed in his appointed place to obtain extraordinary returns, it’s your turn to sow in your prepared place for the same reward. 

Sowing anyhow will lead to anyhow returns or no harvest at all. The giver of the seed manages the program from seed to harvest in real time. Ten to thirtyfold is not bad but a hundredfold is the covenant target.

“But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some 14sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”Matthew 13:8-9.

Prayer: 

Thank you father for being the program manager from seed to harvest in real time. My seed obtains maximum return by covenant obedience in the name of Jesus Christ.

I Shall Not Want!

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalms 84:10-11.

Keys admit! Life is full of doors that admit only those with the right keys. The right keys grant unlimited access to prepared places in life. It’s interesting to see how people react when they run into closed doors. To some denial of opportunities is an indication of demonic activity or generational curses and the likes. To another, it’s time to offer sacrifices to some forgotten idols.

Not many attribute these to lack of keys to the chapters of their life. Denial is not an indication of extraneous influence but lack of keys to gain access. God is not the one withholding your portion, only those that have the keys prior to the time gain access.

“Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:1-3.

Jeremiah was incarcerated but his portion was not limited by imprisonment. He obtained the keys while in prison and became a high flier and ended his imprisonment. Thoughts imprison, light releases from imprisonment. The key must be in hand before the door is approached. The prayers must have been said and the keys obtained before the door opens. The key is formed by your maker, asking is all it takes to get the keys from his hand. 

Every word from God is the key that unlocks the doors of the chapters of your life. Just like the psalmist said I shall not want! The keys are mine to call for. There is no obstacle that is not surmountable. Every man’s ignorance is his greatest obstacle. Be released from frustration now by the keys of the kingdom.

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19.

Prayer 

Dear father, thank you for the kingdom keys that unlocks the chapters of life. I am not stranded by demonic or ancestral spirits but lack of keys or ignorance. I shall not want of keys, I ask of you for unlimited access in Jesus name.

UNLOCKED

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalms 84:10-11.

One of the areas affected by the COVID 19 pandemic is the gathering together of persons for events and parties. Meetings are held by Zoom, birthday party pictures with persons wearing face masks and physical distancing measures.  Weddings and burials have been with limited attendance and drive-by events is the norm. Food is restricted to take-away packs and beverages to avoid congregating large crowds. 

It’s important to know that your portion with God is not restricted nor withheld. Heaven is not on lockdown, the storehouse is not closed, your portion is guaranteed. Kingdom keys give access to excess, supply by surprise, living in the overflow.

“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.”Song of Songs 2:4.

While there is a lockdown of events and limited number of persons during events, the banquet is still on in the house of God. There is nothing in short supply, there’s enough to eat-in and much more to take away from the banqueting house. The doorkeeper cannot lack the beauty and riches of the house.

The keys of the kingdom make you the first partaker of the virtue it unlocks. Whatever is locked down is unlocked by the kingdom keys. Whatever is restricted is opened by the same keys. I am not locked up neither is my life on lockdown, the keys of the kingdom are in my hand.

The keys of the kingdom unlocks everything from heaven to the earth for my unlimited supply from the banqueting house.

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19.

Prayer 

Thank you father for the keys of the kingdom that unlocks everything from heaven to the earth. There is a lockdown but my life is not on lockdown; supply by surprise is my portion through Christ Jesus.

The Key of David

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Psalms 84:10-11.

David was a man after God’s heart, his house was his dwelling place. He hallowed his house and enjoyed the presence and goodness of his house. David had an unusual relationship and commitment to God and his house. He desired to be a doorkeeper in the house of God. That could be a menial job to some but his utmost desire much more than any other. One could say another church boy! Much more than that was he. He was ready, available, accessible to God and his work, ready to do his will.

A servant king, prophet and priest was he yet a doorkeeper.

He became one of the greatest kings that ever lived and Jesus from his lineage; the key of David.

“And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.”Isaiah 22:22-23.

One could ask what did David achieve, a shepherd boy chosen to the king. What none of the kings before and after him could ever accomplish, generational blessing and a sure covenant. David is still celebrated 4000 years after and the star of David the emblem of the nation of Isreal; the most prosperous nation.

The key of David opens what none can shut, shuts and none can open. David the doorkeeper obtained an eternal key to the kingdom of God. The key open lives, businesses, corporations, organizations, businesses careers and anything from obscurity to celebrity in any nation or people.

Serving God is the highest vocation with temporal and eternal rewards; that’s the key of David. Living without limits is the new life, nature and ability made available by the key of David in Christ Jesus.

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works:behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.”Revelation 3:7-8.

Prayer:

Thank you father God for the key of David that is now the key of the kingdom of God that opens and shuts temporal and eternal doors. My restriction in life is over, my service to God is my ticket to greatness by the same Christ Jesus.

KEYS ADMIT

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit:and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Revelation 4:1-2.

During the apartheid regime in South Africa, several songsters were born. Apart from the traditional liberation sounds from Kwazulu nathal province, there were other Christian songs that came to the fore. One of them has these lyrics-“Knockin’ on Heaven’s door” It was one of my favorite song with my mind on the theme of prayer. Those that knock on the doors of heaven lack the keys to open them. As soon as the keys are in hand, the doors open immediately.

Every change of level is not casual but remarkable in the kingdom. These are not physical doors but spiritual doors and the keys are spiritual keys or kingdom keys.  Every kingdom key commands instant change of levels in life.

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works:behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:7-8.

Knocking continues, those that have the keys gain speedy access. God is not a respecter of persons, tribe, race, profession or educational level.

He also does not respond to your emotion or tears but the kingdom keys. Every change of level is marked by the receipt of the kingdom keys. The walls became doors if only the keys are with you, not by knocking.

Heaven is not closed, the keys transform earthly to heavenly beings. Whatever heaven can afford becomes possible on the earth with the keys of the kingdom. Wonders without numbers, signs for sighs, miracles from misfits are the byproduct of kingdom keys. The kingdom keys admit into the deep things of God by Christ Jesus.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Prayer.

Dear father, I am indeed overjoyed to know that the deep things of God are accessible by the keys of the kingdom. I am appointed for prepared things but accessible by these kingdom keys by the same Christ my lord.

Custodian of Kingdom Keys

 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: Galatians 4:1-3.

When the concept of kingdom keys is before us, kings and priest are the custodians not children or sons. Many become offended but for very good reasons; they’re children hence under tutors and governors. Anything of value in the kingdom is reserved for the matured, so also the keys of the kingdom.

There is hierarchy in the kingdom even as the door of salvation is open to all. It admits everyone to the level of children irrespective of secular status or chronological age. From the childhood level, sons emerge with maturity and then kings and priests unto God. The kings and priests are in command of the keys of the kingdom.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 5:10-12.

Sons are born but kings and priests are made by revelation of redemption. Things of great value are not given to children both in the natural and spiritual. The kingdom keys give access to great treasures like power and riches, and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing. This is the power of the world to come being used in the present world.

The keys are not available to all but for personal use to unlock the doors to lives and destinies of men. There is no king without a kingdom, neither a priest without a temple and congregation. So also the kings and priests use the keys to the service of God and his people. The keys of the kingdom are service keys for kingdom virtues. The priests and kings are anointed with keys for their reign in life.

We are not kings or priests but kings and priests; custodians of kingdom keys.

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works:behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:7-8.

Prayer 

Dear father, I am delighted to see that the keys of the kingdom are for kings and priests not for sons. Maturity is what measure the keys to be assessed; kings and priests are custodians. Kings and priests are made by revelation of the same Christ Jesus my lord.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

After this manner therefore pray ye:Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10.

One of the first prayers that many learnt to recite is the lord’s prayer. It’s a model of prayer that has been taught and learnt by many generations of Christians and non Christians alike. It is recited so many times a day and several places at a time that some have termed it the most popular prayer of all times.

The verse that reads”Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” is of interest. It’s obvious that the kingdom of God has come since the baptism of Jesus at Jordan with the king annointed. Matthew 11:12. It marks the end of the old and beginning of the new testament.

Someone may ask further, what is the proof of the kingdom of God and the answer is simple; the keys of the kingdom.

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Revelation 5:10-12.

While the kingdom of heaven is a specified geographical location, the kingdom of God is the life, nature and ability; God’s way of living. The prayer that was and is being recited has been answered. The use of the keys of the kingdom of God brings down heaven on earth. The will of God in heaven is done on earth by those that have the keys of the kingdom of God.

The kingdom keys are reigning keys on the earth by the redeemed. The keys of the kingdom are operational tools for unusual results in life. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, the keys of the kingdom brings heaven’s ideas, principles, and system to bear on earth. It’s your turn to reign in life by the kingdom keys in your hand.

The kingdom has come! The keys are with you the redeemed for a heaven on earth experience.

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:17-19.

Prayer 

Thank you father for the understanding that the keys of the kingdom is for a heaven on earth experience. I am redeemed to reign in life by the same keys in hand by the Jesus Christ my saviour.

WISDOM KEY FOR FREE

And he spake three thousand proverbs:and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall:he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom. 1 Kings 4:32-34.

Wisdom is beautiful! wisdom is attractive! It’s the key for a life of distinction. A little peek into the certificates or trophy room of Solomon show an array of accomplishments. The book of proverbs, the songs, the temple, the people and much more were the mighty works of the wisdom of Solomon.

Results bring insults to an end and leave no one in doubt of the wisdom of Solomon. His wisdom brought fame, fortune, glamour, glory and prosperity to the nation. So much was the wisdom given to one man, how much more connecting to the source. The source is introduced as the greater than Solomon, Christ Jesus my Lord.

“And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:and his fame was in all nations round about.”1 Kings 4:29-31.

It’s amazing to know that the wisdom of Solomon is a title of the wisdom of God available in Christ Jesus, the greater than Solomon. It’s much more exciting to learn that the price of wisdom is redemption.

Every wisdom with a fee is fake, the greater than Solomon wisdom is free. Great doors have ordinary keys, great works are byproducts of the wisdom of God. Solomon sought not fame nor glory but for wisdom which is free. The same wisdom made him the richest, the greatest and the brightest among his contemporaries.

Wisdom is for the thirsty, knowledge for the hungry; nothing more, nothing less. The key of wisdom grants unlimited access to God’s class or order of results.

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.”Isaiah 55:1-2.

Prayer:

Dear father,thank you for the wisdom key that is from above, available in Christ, greater than Solomon’s, accessible by redemption. Free is not cheap, the results are undeniable and the effect undisputable by Christ Jesus.
