COVENANT KEEPING GOD

The God we serve is known as the Covenant keeping God. With Him, Covenants are serious business that must be obeyed. In the days we live, the Covenant we witness often is the marriage covenants that are entered into in our various Churches during weddings. I love to watch  wedding ceremonies  in this part of the globe. So much celebration and fanfare. In the midst of all the celebrations, I always wonder if the couples involved are aware that the Covenant keeping God is always present. He hears all the vows we make.

The Nigerian Church is huge in prayers and praying. When I watch and listen to some of our prayer points sometimes, I wonder. Do the enemies really have as much power as we ascribe to them？Imagine a couple praying earnestly against the enemies that are behind the recession they may be going through as a family. Meanwhile, they are not faithful to their marital vows. Prayer and fasting is not a fix all in the kingdom. There are things that only obedience can fix. Our God is called the Ancient of Days because He never changes. Israel broke their Covenant with Gibea and famine hit them for years. What makes anyone in our dispensation think that they will violate their marital vows and not attract famine？

The book of Malachi is popular about tithing. Notice what it says in Malachi 2：14. It says, ..Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, yet is she thy companion and the wife of thy covenant. I add here that he is equally the husband of your youth.The Lord says here that He sees everything. If we can replace treacherous in the scripture above with love and consideration in our marital relationships, things will be better. Remember once again that our God is a Covenant keeping God and that He  sees it all.

Have a beautiful new week. May destiny helpers locate you this new week in Jesus name.
