DO NOT THWART THE COVENANT OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE!

Dearly Beloved, DO NOT THWART THE COVENANT OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE! “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2 NKJV). King David (in the Bible) was a man after God’s own heart because of his righteousness before God (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). So, God made a covenant with him that his line or descendants would be reigning in Israel forever (see 2 Samuel 7:16; Psalm 89:3-4, 26-37). God was faithful in keeping this covenant. Even when Solomon, David’s son, was not as righteous as his father, and the kingdom broke into two, God still preserved the line of David as kings in one of the divided kingdom. However, the unrighteousness of many of the kings of Judah who were descendants of David especially Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim was so much. Jehoiachin, like his father, Jehoiakim, and many other kings before them “...did evil in the eyes of the Lord..." (2 Kings 24:9 NIV). Because of this, God promised to end the lineage of David as kings in Judah. God is faithful in keeping His part of the covenants that He makes with His people. However, people can thwart these covenants if they disobey God and do not walk in His ways. God emphasized this to the people of Israel as He gave them the Law (see Leviticus 26:14ff; Deuteronomy 28:15ff). This is evident in the history of the people of Israel from the time of their judges to the time of their kings. If the people were faithful, God would be faithful with them. If they derailed from obeying God, God would punish them. No one can be in sin and still expect that he would continue to enjoy the grace of God. You cannot continue to thrive in unrighteousness and still expect God to keep His covenant with you. That is impossible! (see Romans 6:1-2). How faithful are you to the covenant of God in your life? Are you righteous and just to the point that God can still continue to keep His covenant for you? Unrighteousness in your part can thwart the covenant of God for your life. In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will not thwart the covenant of God for your life because of any act of unrighteousness.
