GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM

(Genesis 15 :2)
Abram complained to God that ,if he doesn't have offspring to inherit his wealth ,but God decided to make covenant with him,to reveal to him that His promises will come to pass.
God assured him that his own son will be the heir of his properties.,his descendants will be countless
like the stars in heaven

God decided to make a covenant with Abram and this is how i went down (Genesis 15:9)
  • A heifer three years old was required
  • A she- goat three years old
  • A ram three years old
  • A turtledove
  • A young pigeon

He obeyed and brought all these to the Lord.He cut them into two and laid each half over against the other,but didn't cut the birds into two.Abram kept watch upto until sun set when he fell into a deep sleep.Darkness crept in and behold a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between the pieces he had sacrificed.On that day God made a covenant with Abram and his descendants were to inherit
the whole land of Canaan
