Hello, I'm Kelly Copeland. Welcome to the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast.

Today, my dad, Kenneth Copeland, explains how your covenant with God is a love covenant that came into being on covenant day.

Now you might ask, what's covenant day?

Well, this is the day that God's original love-based, love-organized plan was set into motion for you.

Now let's join my dad as he shares a story of the power of Covenant relationship. Let's go back or studied it, it's worthwhile of Dr David Livingston who was a Scottish

missionary presumed lost in Africa and Sir Henry Stanley set out to finding and this they finally got together on the 10th of November in 1871.

And at that time the gospel had not been preached in Africa.

Amen. And Livingston was the man that opened it up.

And it's very, very interesting.

When Stanley was seeking Livingston, he came in contact with a powerful equatorial tribe. They were very war-like.

Stanley was not in condition to fight with him.

Finally, his interpreter asked him why he didn't make a strong covenant with him.

He asked what it meant and was told that it meant

drinking each other's blood.

Stanley revolted from such a right,

but conditions kept going worse until finally the young

his young interpreter asked him again why he didn't cut the covenant with the

chieftain of the tribe?

Stanley asked what the results of such a covenant would be and the interpreter answered

everything that Chieftain has will be yours if you needed. This appeal to Stanley and he investigated.

After several days of negotiations they arrived at the covenant.

First, there was a parlay in which the chieftain questioned Stanley as to his motives and standing and his ability to keep the covenant.
