Covenant is one of those unique words that most people have changed to mean agreement or contract. In reality, Covenant means the conditional promises made to humanity by The Most High God as revealed in the Holy Scriptures. It is a life-long pledge of commitment that will be tested & a battle will be fought for it.
Sacrifice means the surrender or destruction of something prized or desirable for the sake of something considered as having a higher or more pressing claim. It also means a person, animal, or thing offered.
Benefit is a word that has lost its original meaning in this life because ulterior motives become the driving force with most agreements instead of the mutually beneficial aspect for both involved! Benefit means act of kindness, good deed, be of service to, make improvement, to produce a desired effect in another's mind....
So... what is the point of these words right now? I just want you to think about the Covenant Dynamics with Jesus & His Father in Heaven, His Covenant with the Disciples & the Early Church.
Apostle Greg made a startling statement: " When a battle is fought, there has to be a risk-taker for the sake of another's dream." You do NOT see The Most High God MOVE unless there is risk involved! Apostle Greg said, " If we aren't taking risks within, we will never take risks without!" WOW!!!!!!
Authority in the Kingdom of God always come through Covenant & Destiny. And, authority is an extension of strategy. Strategy is based on resources & your resources are people. To move forward, you must have men & women who are willing to put their lives in the hands of another. I want you to consider: How does the assignment that God has given you affect your authority?

OMGosh! The Newest Cultural Curse!!!!
Do you know about the epidemic of human trafficking?
On Saturday, January 26th, The Base was given an inside account of this newest headliner in our culture! Human trafficking is about enslaving others! And, the stats say there are 27 MILLION people enslaved worldwide!
Chelsie Town is involved with Sak Saum for Freedom. This organization is located in Cambodia and rescues young women from the trafficking in Cambodia. Then, Sak Saum teaches them a trade, helps them readjust after the unspeakable ordeal, and gives back the lives that were stolen from them. The youngest that Chelsie referred to was between the ages of 3-5. Can you even grasp the thought of an eight to ten year old girl being pimped for BIG Money selling their bodies? And, to add insult to injury, the families are selling them into this!
Sak Saum is "committed to restoring Hope and dignity to the vulnerable and exploited through creative and social initiatives, as well as income generation." This organization is part of a ministry called In His Steps International. Sak Suam teaches these girls to make hand-crafted items such as purses, scarfs, jewelry then sells the items at presentations like the ones Chelsie does. She is an consultant that supports the ministry and brings awareness by doing speaking engagements. All the proceeds from the items sold are returned back into Sak Saum for schooling, supplies, and food/housing for the women coming out of human trafficking situations.
Her presentation was not like a typical "help support my ministry" speech that you hear! Instead, she gave us an insight into this evil that is stealing away the next generation! Chelsie shared how this epidemic hit close to home with a special friend whose sister got sucked into this before she could recognize the motive of the man who she thought was her "boyfriend." Instead, he held her captive, threatened her with the potential of killing her family, and sold her to multiple 'clients' for sexual usage. This occurred not in Cambodia, but here in this country
Most people believe slavery in this nation ceased when the Emancipation Proclamation was established. WRONG! It has reached epidemic levels here and globally! Chelsie's presentation raised the awareness with each of us and brought this curse right to our doorsteps! Now, it's time for ACTION! To sit by and do nothing will be a crime! Even small donations help in the big picture of this! I have the site listed here on my blog. Feel free to click on it and find out for yourself!
Keep Sak Saum and Chelsie in your prayers as they spread the reality of human trafficking and raise awareness for those being exploited! Until next posting.... Have a Blessed Month & Keep on Burning in Him!
