The importance of the covenant:
• The purpose of this series is for us to come to the
understanding that we are no longer only the bride of
God, but we also now enjoy the function of a wife
within this day.
• God needs a virtuous wife who understands her identity,
one who is able to give birth to her husbands promises
in all areas of her life.
• To be virtuous, we need to have the mind
of Christ.
Reasons for God’s covenant:
• A covenant consists of commandments and laws, to empower
God’s wife for God’s purpose on earth.
• When a bride gets married to her bridegroom they cut a
covenant.
• Same with God and us. By receiving a covenant we have
received a new name and became God’s wife. (Abraham &
Sarah)
The covenant gave us a new identity:
• When Abram received the covenant and was
circumcised his name changed from Abram to
Abraham. His wife Sarai name also changed to
Sarah.
• This is also relevant to ourselves as the wife of
God. (Transformed from a 13th generation to 14th)
• The covenant gave us a new identity, the identity
of the new creation God predestined you to be.
God’s covenant: Sarai and Sarah
Genesis 17:15-16
• 15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you
shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
• 16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I
will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of
peoples shall be from her."

New covenant laws and
commandments:
Definition of a law and a commandment:
 Commandment: Authoritative precepts implemented in
your life to enjoy a better way of living.
 Law: His moral instruction especially the precept
concerning love. (As He is, so are we in this world)
• The reason God chose to write His laws and
commandments on your heart is to equip
you as an individual to have the mind of
Christ and be virtuous.
Enabled by His laws and
commandments:
• It’s very important to know that before God could content together
with you as a virtuous wife, a warrior and combatant, he needed to
equip you with His laws and commandments, by way of the
covenant that he wrote on your heart.
• God choose to separate us from religion unto Him. He chose us not
only to be His bride but His virtuous wife, we are carriers of His
approval, he wanted to content with us as warriors and combatants
for his glory.
• Glory = His opinion, view and judgment.
THE MIND OF CHRIST:
The power of the gospel of Christ:
Hebrews 9:27-28
• 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this
the judgment,
• 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many.(13) To
those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second
time(14), apart from sin, for salvation.
The mind of Christ:
• It is important to look at the principles God wants to teach
us in the story of the natural Israel. To understand yourself
as God’s spiritual Israel.
• Blood of the lamb- Robe of righteousness
(Spiritually saved)
• Wilderness- Garment of salvation
(Salvation of your soul)
• Promised land- Completely furnished.
(Having dominion as a godkind)
The mind of Christ:
• Because the church got stuck at the sacrifice
(13) they never allowed the word to wash
them in truth (salvation of their souls-14) and
to sanctify them.
• These persons are carnally minded instead of
being spiritually minded because of the wrong
teachings they received. This cannot be the
case in Cimi.
The mind of Christ:
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
• 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in
God for pulling down strongholds,
• 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts
itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
The mind of Christ:
• God wants His wife (Cimi) to be a follower of Him. Not a follower of men.
Definition of follower:
 A person who supports and admires a particular person or set of ideas.
(The King’s legislation)
 A person who takes an active interest in a particular activity. (Kingdom)
• God need’s a wife (Cimi) that admires His ideas (Sound doctrine) and takes
an active interest in His activities(kingdom).
The mind of Christ:
• The wife (Cimi) has obtained the salvation of her
soul and has a very important role to play in the
second coming of Christ..
1 Peter 1:9-10
• 9 Receiving the end of your faith--the salvation
of your souls.
• 10 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired
and searched carefully, who prophesied of the
grace that would come to you.
The advent of Christ came with grace:
Tit 2:11-13
• 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
all men,
• 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
• 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing (2015)
of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
The advent of Christ came with grace:
• God chose to equip us as a body to be able to make a clear
distinction between the meaning of the word mercy and grace.
• This year be humble and you will enjoy grace.
Greek definition of grace:
• Of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence
upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases
them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to
the exercise of the Christian virtues (to be a virtuous wife)
• what is due to grace??
• The spiritual condition of one governed by the
power of divine grace.
By grace we have the mind of Christ:
• This is the acceptable year of our Lord.
• We are accepted in our Beloved, and because of His
fullness we can receive grace.
Joh 1:16
• 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for
grace.
• Because we have received grace, God’s instruction,
through his laws and commandments we can be a
virtuous wife who provides pleasure to her Husband, we
have obtained the salvation of our souls whereof
the prophets investigated and searched of.

GOD’S PROMISE:
God’s promise:
• Act 2:32 This Jesus (14) God has raised up, of which we are
all witnesses.
• Act 2:33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God,
and having received from the Father the promise of the
Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
• Act 2:33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God,
and having received from the Father the promise
(anointing) of the Holy Spirit (equal helper), He poured out
this (promise-anointing) which you now see and hear
(apostles with God’s anointing).
• Act 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ.“
God’s promise:
• Very important to see that Jesus Christ was the
first one to receive the promise of the holy spirit.
In other words Jesus Christ was the first one to
have the anointing to be God’s first equal helper.
• He wanted to furnish us with that same anointing
(Christ) to be God’s equal helper, this is what’s
meant by the promise of the holy spirit.
• Let’s look at the definition of promise.
Greek root word for promise:
• G1861:
• epaggellō
• From G1909 and the base of G32; to announce upon
(reflexively), that is, (by implication) to engage to do
something, to assert something respecting oneself: profess, (make) promise.
• G32:
• ang'-el-os
• From (probably derived from G71; compare G34; to
bring tidings); a messenger;
• especially an “
angel“
; by implication a pastor:
angel, messenger.
Definition of promise:
Promise:
Assure someone, that one will definitely do something or that
something will happen.
G1861
• Epaggelia
• announcement that one is about to do or furnish something.
By God’s promise we are a helper:
• In this passage we can see the anointing of God is Christ which
enables an individual to rule as a Lord and a god kind within
this world. The promise is Christ in you equipping you to be
holy and spirit on earth.
We are God’s promise:
• Jesus Christ was the first sent messenger of God
that was furnished with the anointing and
engaged to do something God expected of him.
• He gave this for us :
- The Promise (Christ, God’s anointing) to be a holy
spirit (His equal helper)
• God’s promise was a holy spirit, a person that is a
lord and Christ in this earth.
By the promise we are lords:
1Timothy 6:13-15
• 13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things,
and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession
before Pontius Pilate,
• 14 that you keep this commandment without spot,
blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,
• 15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the
blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of
lords,
• Rev 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there
were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this
world have become the kingdoms of our
Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"
The reason for God’s promise:
• God has obtained His promise: Messengers engaged to do his
will and to announce that God is furnishing His people.
• In this day God can have a virtuous wife after his own heart. A
wife not only understanding His will but His ways.
Promise revealed:
• We are God’s promise to this earth.
• At the second coming of Christ His promise
(virtuous wife) could be revealed as a Lord and
a Christ.
