Gods Covenant

Walking through a world of sin. 
Many years before the sacrificial moment.
The Almighty God had spoken to a man by Abraham. 
These words were spoken in Genesis 15: 4-6.
Such words were given to Abram as a covenant.  4Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir." V5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
V6 Then, he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.” If we stop long enough to search the bible we will discover that it has answer for everything that we do in this life, be it negative or positive. So now let us take a walk into the life of an  ancient man.  God has given him a son in old age and fulfil his promise to Abraham as father of many nations after (100) years. The word Isaac means laughter. I heard on a radio show March 9th 2015 where people were seeking answers with regards to where and the reason of laughter. These people have gone to extreme length to fine out the benefits and the causes of laughter. On the 10th of march I enter into my devotional space. In this space I open my bible to Genesis 21:3 Reading through the pages I found out that through partial revelation the answer to the reason for laughter explained in the proclamation of Gen. 15. 4-6 Read it for yourself. and you will  part of the reason for laughter.
The name of Jesus is the authority of Jesus. Without the    of  Jesus

Laughter according the great book is an emotion expressive of joy, merry, or ridicule
Psalm 59:8
Job 8:21 because of hardship follower by overcoming
International Standard Version
Even in laughter there may be heartache, and at the end of joy there may be grief.

Ecclesiastes 2:2
"Laughter," I said, "is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?"
James 4:9 New Living Translation
Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.
2 Chronicles 30:10 New Living Translation
The runners went from town to town throughout Ephraim and Manasseh and as far as the territory of Zebulon. But most of the people just laughed at the runners and made fun of them.

Laughter the cause of man’s folly  

Psalm 2:4 King James Bible
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Genesis 18:12  12 Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” 13And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old?’ 14“Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” 15 Sarah denied it however, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.”


Matthew 9:24 King James Bible
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.  And they laughed him to scorn.

Gods covenant was one of blessings unto Abraham. Many times when god speaks to us we do not take him serious and some people laugh at what he said and there ends are fruitless.
