WHAT IS A COVENANT?

Covenant is one of those words that many people use but few people really take the time to understand. We know that a covenant is something like a contract, but perhaps more religious. The truth is that contracts and covenants are only similar in that they are both agreements made between two parties.
Unlike contracts, covenants are not just about the exchanging of goods, funds, property, actions, etc. Covenants create new families, new communities, new nations, new identities. Entering into a covenant changes how you understand who you are.
Covenant is one of those central concepts in the Bible. Covenant is SPIRITUAL. God is said to have made a covenant with humanity through Noah called the Noahic or Noachide covenant, that the world would not again be destroyed by a flood.
God made a covenant with Abraham called the Abrahamic covenant, that Abraham’s descendants would become a great nation and that God would bless the world through them.
God made a covenant with Moses to make the Israelites into a “kingdom of priests and a HOLY NATION".
”Then later", God made a covenant with King David called the Davidic covenant, that God would make Israel a united monarchy with a messianic king that would rule forever. You can see why it is common to teach the story of the Bible as a series of covenants and also discover the wisdom of God among the leadership of BIAFRA INTERNAL GOVERNMENT to have this special ORDEAL with the ALMIGHTY GOD.
Finally, God made an everlasting New COVENANT, The EUCHARISTIC COVENANT. for His people and for all mankind.
The BIG Question?
1. Are you a partakers of GOD'S COVENANT?
2. Did you have any personal COVENANT with God?
3. Did you know that the secret of your generation and your success lies in your COVENANT promise with GOD?
The Severus covenants throughout the narrative of scripture teach us that covenants are different from contracts in one specific and important way:
they have to be reaffirmed regularly. In order for them to work, they need to regularly be revisited and renewed. Since covenants are about our relationships, how we live, and how we understand who we are, they cannot be settled just by signing a contract that can be broken, separation arrangements then made, and the contract then dissolved. Covenants don’t just create relationships, they shape our identities. They can be ignored or forgotten, abused or violated, but they are not so easily ended.
Thus, the story of scripture is the story of a covenant making God.
What emerges [from God’s covenant making relationship with God’s people] is a theological revolution. This God is not marked by power but by faithfulness and vulnerability. This God resolves to be with and stay with and depend upon there sources, judgments, and capacities of God’s new covenant partner. Covenant means to locate the power for life, not itself, but in the commitment, giving, and caring of the other ones.
Just like any covenant, it is important to listen deeply to our covenant partners. In our autonomy, we have the freedom not to be forced, coerced, or manipulated. We can listen to our partners and prayerfully consider the things that are considered most important.
