Revelation of the Word

THEME: COVENANT

Genesis 9:13-15

I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

INSIGHT
-Covenant in Hebrew is written as berith & it means alliance, pact, treaty, confederate, convention & treaty. A covenant presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, conditions, stipulations, privileges & responsibilities.
There are different types of covenants, that is;
1. Biblical covenants between God & man e.g. Adamic (Gen 2:16-17), Noahic (Gen 9:3-15), Abrahamic (Gen 17:1-27), Mosaic (Exo 20:1-24, 24:3-8), Davidic (1 Sam 7:12-29), New covenant (Heb 8:7-13) & Eternal covenant (Heb 13:20-21). All these covenants were sealed except the Adamic covenant.
2. Biblical covenant between two or more men e.g. covenant between Abimelech & Abraham (Gen 21:22-33), Abimelech & Isaac (Gen 26:26-33), Jacob & Laban (Gen 31:44-49) etc.
3. Covenant between God & man – Stewardship (1 Cor 4:1-2), Serving God (Psa 2:11), Walking in holiness (1 Pet 1:15-16), Humility (Eph 4:10), Making peace (Heb 12:14), Love (Mark 12:30-31) etc.
-The Noahic covenant was a pact between God & Noah with a promise that God will never destroy all mankind & living creatures by way of floods again. It was sealed by the rainbow which was witnessed by Noah’s family to replace fear with faith.

We give You thanks Father for Your goodness & mercy upon us. You have always protected us from harm; we bless Your name. We humbly ask You to cover us, our families, neighbors & nation with Your blood from any harm. Protect & direct all our young ones who have opened school in their studies. Protect our nation also from blood thirst men, corrupt leaders & external threats. We thank You Father, for the promises that You have instituted with us either personally or through Biblical truths. We believe that at the appointed time we will have that which we ask from You. All glory & honor belong to You now & forever. Amen
