Main list of Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
Covenant Friend
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
And
Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt
thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that
are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the
righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the
wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do
right?" (Gen. 18:23-25)
God
refused to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah until He had talked it over with
Abraham, His blood covenant friend!
Abraham's prayer in Genesis, chapter 18 is one of the most suggestive
and illuminating prayers in the Old Testament.
Abraham was taking his place in the covenant that God had made with him -
the Old Covenant, the Old Testament.
Through the covenant, Abraham had received rights and privileges we
understand little about.
The
covenant Abraham had just solemnized with the Lord Jehovah gave Abraham
a legal standing with God. Therefore, we hear Abraham speak plainly as
he intercedes for Sodom and Gomorrah, "Shall not the Judge of all the
earth do right?"
Confession: I have a covenant with God, the New Covenant. I have
covenant rights and privileges. I have a standing with God. I commune
with God. I use my covenant rights and privileges in prayer. I join
forces with my Father in carrying out His will and plan upon the earth.
