COVENANT KEEPING GOD

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….
