TOPIC: BREAKING COVENANTS 1

MEMORISE
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered? - (Ezekiel 17:15)

READ: 1 Samuel 2:27-31 (KJV)

27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

MESSAGE

God is faithful; He never breaks His promises, nor does He go back on His word. James 1:17 says that there is no variableness nor shadow of turning with Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and He never breaks His covenants. However, if a fellow breaks a covenant he or she has made with God, then God is under no obligation to keep His part of the covenant.

In Numbers 25:6-13, God made a covenant of eternal priesthood with Phinehas, Eleazar's son, because, in his zeal for the Lord, he struck a man and his concubine dead. However, in today's Bible reading, God told Eli, "I entered into a covenant that you and your father's house will stand before Me forever, but since you have broken the covenant, I am saying, let it be far from Me." Eli's carelessness annulled the covenant God made with his ancestor, Phinehas. As a result of the broken covenant, God's hedge of protection departed from Eli's household, and his two sons died on the same day. When Eli heard the news of their death, he also died that same day, along with the wife of one of his sons. This illustrates the importance of a covenant and that the consequence of breaking one is usually death.

The death of a person who is a party to a covenant typically releases such a person from fulfilling his or her part in the covenant; however, God remains faithful to His covenants, even after a person He is in covenant with dies. Deuteronomy 7:9 says that He keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments to the thousandth generation. Exodus 34:7 tells us that He keeps mercy for thousands. When you keep your covenant with God, it will extend to your descendants. When God promised Abraham that through his seed, all the nations of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 22:18), that promise found its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus, who came 42 generations after Abraham, approximately 2,000 years later. When God promised David that he would always have a seed to sit on the throne (Psalm 89:3-4,29), He never broke His side of the covenant. That covenant was also fulfilled in Jesus.

Beloved, remain faithful to your covenant with God, for in doing so, you will release immeasurable blessings upon yourself and your descendants for generations to come.

KEY POINT
God is faithful; He never breaks His covenants.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DUAL CITIZENS

KEY VERSE: "And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." - (MATTHEW 22:20,21).

TEXT: MATTHEW 22:18-22

Kofi Annan, the Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations from 1997 to 2006, is a figure whose life was shaped by the responsibilities of dual citizenship. While Annan was a Ghanaian citizen by birth, his role in international diplomacy required him to balance his connection to his homeland with his responsibility to the global community. In his role in Ghana, he worked to advance the nation's standing on the world stage, often advocating for African issues and the continent's development in the international arena. On the other hand, his global duty as UN Secretary-General involved diplomacy with countries in conflict, addressing human rights abuses, and working toward general global peace.

In the passage, the Pharisees, who were trying to trap Jesus, posed a question about paying taxes to Caesar. The dilemma they presented seemed unsolvable: if Jesus said it was lawful to pay tax, He could alienate the people, who hated Roman rule. But if He said it was unlawful, He could be accused of stirring insurrection. But Jesus, with His wisdom, cut through the manipulation and answered in a way that transcended their trap. He asked for a coin, a denarius, and asked whose image was on it. Then, He gave a profound answer that has echoed through history: "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

Jesus' words highlight that we are citizens of two realms - an earthly kingdom and God's kingdom. While on earth, we are to honour the systems of authority set before us, paying taxes, respecting laws, and fulfilling our civic duties, which are part of our witness to the world. On the other hand, we must always remember that we are made in the likeness of God and, as such, our lives, our very being, are His. In all, while our lives may be marked by the needs of the world - job, family, relationships - our ultimate allegiance should lie with God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A coin has two sides, so do our duties to God and man

UNDERESTIMATING SIN'S DEADLINESS

KEY VERSE: "And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads." - (JOSHUA 7:6).

TEXT: JOSHUA 7:1-6

When COVID-19 ran rampant early in 2020, no one could imagine that it would, under twenty-four months, send more than 7.5 million souls to an unprepared eternity while casualties from related causes would be close to 15 million. In its trail were socioeconomic disasters, unemployment, poverty, depression and pervasive su***de. The root cause of the high mortality was the earlier attempts to cover its tracks. An even more dangerous disease – sin - is on the sprawl in our world. It, too, is impossible to keep under wraps because many people do not recognise its deadliness.

Our text unfolds the folly and tragic story of Achan, his sin and the consequences. Against God's command, he had taken some of the spoils from Jericho. And worse was his attempt to cover up the sin by hiding the stolen spoil under the earth in his tent. The consequence of this was the humiliating, ignominious defeat of Israel at Ai, the death of thirty-six valiant men, and the sombre, ominous shadow of failure cast over the camp of God's chosen people. This disaster in battle, on the path of Joshua, led to humiliation, self-examination, prayer and faith, and finally to victory.

Joshua embarked on an awfully painful search and recovery. This is the gist of our text. The magnified leader is now mortified, but he refrained from maligning God. Self-emptied, self-humiliated and broken, Joshua's primary concerns were twofold: loss of innocent Israelites and the tender regard for the honour of God's name. He wailed: "O Lord, what wilt thou do unto thy great name?" He conceded both justice and wisdom to God. Neither did he blame the spies he sent out for furnishing the nation with supposedly inaccurate security reports. Nor did he castigate the soldiers who were defeated in battle for cowardice. Joshua did not underestimate the deadliness of sin. He wisely resorted to the only option left, namely, mercy, coupled with a commitment to do restitution wherever it is needful, are the indispensable steps to be saved or restored to the present crisis.

The only option you have when ensnared in sin is a broken and contrite heart. Confession of sins, self-examination, and genuine repentance void of any excuse or alibi, coupled with a commitment to do restitution wherever it is needful, are the indispensable steps to be saved or restored to fellowship and favour with the Lord.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Confessing sin is good, but forsaking sin is much better

DOUSING DESPONDENCY

KEY VERSE: "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance." - (PSALM 42:5).

TEXT: PSALM 42:1-5

As German bombs fell on England during World War II, the situation became desperate. Hearts were filled with discouragement and thoughts of defeat. Then Winston Churchill's voice echoed over the radio. It inspired the nation and boosted morale among a people on the verge of giving up. On a spiritual level, believers find hope in God too, as they hear the voice that resonates through the pages of His Word. In moments of discouragement, Christians serve as a testimony to those who have never met God or heard His voice.

David exemplifies this in our devotional text as he expresses acute hunger and "thirst for God, the living God". In his hopelessness, he recalled the exhilarating moments he had in God's house and presence. Reminiscences of the voice of joy and praise, filled and blessed by the testimonies of God's faithfulness and the certainty that flows from trust in God, he gladly addresses his soul and jerks back from the abyss of despondency.

Are you troubled about any ugly situation or setback? Cheer up and look up! Here are gems and clues for you as a Christian pilgrim, who could, at times, be discouraged and cast down. David didn't. He queried and counselled his soul. First is to know that neither discouragement nor despondency is a sign of weakness. Elijah is one biblical character who fits this description. After defeating the prophets of Baal, he received a death threat from Jezebel. His hope was shattered, and his despondency set in. He wanted to die! The Lord did not rebuke him for his feelings but sent an angel to provide for his physical needs. In our times of discouragement, su***de is no option; it only leads to a more serious, endless and interminable suffering in hell. The present challenge or problem has not diminished God's love for us. He desires to lead us to a place of a renewed vision of His power!

The time to exit the discouragement mode is now! Take the verifiable steps that effectively log you out, which include a deep, interminable longing for God. This is what Isaiah calls "waiting upon the Lord". Second, you will do well to consciously recall and delight in God's past acts of mercy, divine interventions, and faithfulness. Finally, you must deliberately seek the remedy of praise to uplift your downcast, crestfallen, and discouraged heart. Beloved, don't give in to despair! God will certainly lead you in paths of love, light and joy, where you will find new hope.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God always opens the window of hope for His own in the darkest of times

THEME: GOD'S COVENANT OF PROMOTION

MEMORISE: But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Psalm 92:10

READ: Psalms 75:6-7

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

MESSAGE

The devil often uses the promise of promotion to lure people into making covenants with him. For example, I have heard of cases where those in authority would ask someone due for a promotion at work to enter into an evil covenant by joining a secret cult before the promotion is granted. Beloved, if you ever find yourself in such an ordeal, I urge you never to enter into such covenants.

Today's Bible reading tells us that promotion comes from God. When He says yes, nobody can say no. When God decides to promote you, it doesn't matter what anybody may try because you will reach the position that He intends. He controls the heart of kings; therefore, if anyone in authority threatens you, saying, "You will not be promoted unless you join us," take your stand as a child of God, and never give in. Just hold on to God, and in the end, you will emerge victorious.

Sometime ago, one of my spiritual sons came to me and said, "Daddy, I am tired of being in one spot for so long: I want to move forward. I have an interview tomorrow, please pray for me." I replied, "Let us pray," and he said, "No! Just speak a word." Then I told him that the interview would be successful. He went for the interview and came back beaming with joy. He said, "Daddy, I prepared hard for the interview, but they only asked me three questions: What is your name? Which post did you apply for? When do you want to start?" I congratulated him, and he said, "Daddy, please speak another word." I obliged and responded, "Your promotion will be rapid." The next day, He came back dancing for joy. He said, "When I resumed this morning, I was asked to go to the boardroom. The people who interviewed me the previous day were seated there, and they said, 'Our Managing Director resigned yesterday. Are you ready to take on the post?" I replied, "Congratulations, that's a rapid promotion." He told me to speak another word, and I said that God would complete the good work He had started in him. The next day, he came back to me almost speechless as his salary had been doubled! Then he said I should speak another word, and | jokingly responded, "Do you want to collect the company from the owners?"

Beloved, I pray that my Father will surprise you with rapid promotions, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT

Nothing and no one can limit a man whom God has decided to promote.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 47-48

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

HYMN 20: I’M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY
1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Chorus:
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.

3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.

4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”

DIVINE ENCOUNTER MORNING PRAYERS

WHEN GOD MAKES A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE NONE

Text: Isaiah 43:19.

"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."

There are moments when we cannot see the answer, but God can already see the way. Today, we bring before Him the situations that appear complicated, closed, or beyond our ability.

14. Help for Those Who Feel Trapped

Lord, remember anyone who feels trapped by circumstances, debt, disappointment, failure, or difficult responsibilities. Give them practical wisdom and people who can help them move forward, in Jesus' name.

15. Nigeria and the Nations

Father, make a way for peace, justice, responsible leadership, and genuine development in Nigeria and the nations. Let wisdom replace confusion and integrity prevail in places of influence, in Jesus' name.

Proverbs 29:2

16. Revival and Spiritual Awakening

Lord, make a way for a fresh move of Your Spirit in homes, churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. Let people encounter Christ and let genuine transformation follow, in Jesus' name.

Habakkuk 3:2

17. Personal Prayer Requests

Father, I bring before You the matters that are too deep for me to solve alone. Give me wisdom concerning what I must do, patience concerning what I must wait for, and faith to trust You with what is beyond my control, in Jesus' name.

Proverbs 3:5-6

18. Thanksgiving in Advance

Father, I thank You because You are able to create a path where I cannot see one. I choose to trust Your wisdom and timing. Let today's steps bring me closer to the testimony You have prepared, in Jesus' name.

Psalm 121:8

DECLARATION

Today, I declare:

There is a way forward for me.

Where I see confusion, God shall give me direction.
Where I see limitation, He shall show me possibilities.
Where I have fallen, He shall give me grace to rise.
Where I have waited, He shall give me strength to continue.
Where I need wisdom, He shall teach me what to do.

I will not allow yesterday's disappointment to determine today's decisions.

I will recognise the opportunities God places before me.

I will take the right steps with courage and wisdom.

The Lord shall order my steps, make my crooked paths straight, and lead me into His purpose for my life.

What looks like the end shall become a new beginning, and what looks impossible shall become an opportunity to see the faithfulness of God.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
