COVENANT KEEPING GOD
A covenant is an
agreement to do or not do a particular thing. It is also a promise to a contract.
A covenant could also be a bin ding agreement between two or more parties. When
you make a covenant between two or more parties, you have a binding agreement.
A covenant could be broken between two parties. Men break covenant; but GOD
does not. When couples get married they are tied together, covenanted to each
other. They agree to become one. In future, if they both disagree, the covenant
between them is broken; the contract between them is terminated. A man could
lie loving a lady, but afterwards jilt her; just deceiving her at first. He
could have promised her, I will get married to you, but he can rescind his
decision at any time; men do that a lot. Most men are covenant breakers, bur
GOD is a covenant keeper. No wonder the bible says: “And also the strength of
Israel will not lie nor repent”. GOD is the strength of Israel; he brought them
from Egypt into their promise land as promised. What he says he does, what he
GOD does he has said it. GOD values covenant, he is not a covenant breaker. The
Israelites were on several occasions guilty of breaking the covenant between
them and GOD. Judges 2 vs. 1: “ And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to
Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto
the land which I swore unto your fathers and I said, I will never break my
covenant with you”. Eventually the Israelites disobeyed GOD’s voice by making
league with people they shouldn’t and did not destroy altars they should have.
There was a covenant between GOD and the Israelites, GOD kept his part; but the
Israelites didn’t. Our GOD never breaks his promise, that is why he honors his
word than his name.
However, while I started my first degree in
the University, I made a covenant with GOD that I will serve him with all my
heart, throughout my stay in the university and not defile myself; and in
exchange I want him GOD to make me graduate with a good grade. I was faithful
in my part and He GOD was too; I finally made a good grade at the end. It is a
god thing to make a covenant with GOD, because you are telling him He is more
than able to help you. Covenant with GOD brings blessings, greatness,
possessions, inheritance, favor provided you are faithful. Are you in a
circumstances you think is greater than you? Why not make a covenant with the
covenant keeping GOD. He is able to do exceedingly; abundantly above all we
could ever ask or think of, according to the power that worketh in us. It is
well with us….
