God's Covenant
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Our God is a covenant making God. His covenants are given through his great love for man that was created in God’s own image. From the very beginning we see that God is ever reaching out to draw rebellious people back to right relationship with him. It is never God’s will that anyone should perish. It is God’s perfect will that every man, woman and child, that would ever; and will ever; be conceived into this world should be saved.
With God’s love in mind, and his great desire to see all men saved, we can begin to understand God’s covenants and why they were made.
The thing that we must always remember is that these covenants were initiated by God and not by man. Sinful man has no power to approach God and say, “Let’s Make a Deal”. We cannot approach God, nor have a part in any of God’s promises on our own terms. If we are to have a part in God’s Covenants then we must do it God’s Way because there is no other way.
Looking into the Old Testament Covenant, we can see where God began to deal with a man called Abraham who lived in the land of Ur of the Chaldees.
It is no wonder that God called Abraham such a man of great faith. It took faith to believe that the Lord God Jehovah was truly God above all of the idols of the Chaldees. It took faith to believe that Jehovah God would fulfill his promise to Abraham, especially when you think about the fact that not much of God’s Covenant ever came to pass in Abraham’s own life. He only lived to be 175 years old and had only two sons, Ishamael and Isaac, and only Isaac was part of God’s Covenant being fulfilled.
The covenant God made with Abraham must be an extended and continues one which he and his children and their children must continue to keep.
Genesis 17:9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
But now we have a new covenant in Christ Jesus, which God wants us to keep and a biding chord between Him and us, and these covenant is to keep His words, and never to depart from it.
The covenant of grace came to be through our Lord Jesus Christ, if we continue to live in it, then its blessing will be ours.
We must ensure this covenant is not broken, either by us, our children or our children's children. This is the reason we must keep the covenant unbroken and teach our children the same
You can only please God by keeping this covenant from generation to generation till Christ shall appear in His glory, else, you anger God and His blessings becomes withheld in your life.
Always keep God's covenant unbroken in your life.
God bless you.
