Have you ever seen a pregnant woman in labour? What makes one know that such woman is in labour are the signs displayed by the pregnant woman.A token is simply something serving as an expression of something else put it as a sign or symbol.
A token can be a symbol of covenant between man and his creator as this can be evidently seen in the book of (Genesis chapter 17:9-11). The Father of fathers made a covenant with Abraham to make him a father of many nations hence, there was an instruction to circumcise every man child in his home in order to make the circumcision a token of God's covenant with him and an everlasting
one.(Genesis 17:13).
Also, in the book of Exodus chapter 3:1-12 the Lord appeared to Moses to deliver His children from Egypt and He being with Moses in showing all the miracles to Pharoah will be a sign that He sent him.Several plagues befell Egypt as a result of his stubbornness, to the very point that the Israelites were asked to put the blood of the Lamb on their doorposts in order for the angel of destruction to pass them over (Exodus 12:13) signifying that the Lord was with them.
Furthermore, in Genesis 9:11-16, a covenant was made with Noah that the Lord will not cut off man from the surface of the earth again with water hence, giving a rainbow as a token of the covenant signifying that whenever He sees the bow in the cloud,He will remember His everlasting covenant between Him and every living creature.
In conclusion, before there will be a token from God to us there has to be a covenant,accompanying the covenant is a set of instruction that needs to be carried out to the last letter from God to us,fulfilling these instructions brings about a token i.e a sign from God as a seal to his covenant and also as a remembrance to making the covenant an everlasting one.
PRAYER POINT:Lord Jesus, make an everlasting covenant with me and let me know instructions to it's fulfillment in order to see a sign that it is established.AMEN
