A Sure Covenant

Nehemiah 9:38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it. 

Praise the Lord!!

Today we will meditate upon the topic covenant.

What is a covenant?

Covenant is an agreement, bond, understanding between two parties for the same purpose.

Here Nehemiah made a covenant with his brothers that they would never go against the Lord. They will leave all their wicked ways and follow the law and keep Lord's commandments.

Nehemiah 10:29 They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;

This verse gives us detailed explanation as  what did they do in their covenant.

1. Clave to their Brothers they were patient and prayed that Lord should change their mind.

2. Clave to their nobles they were seeking the pastor or elders help wherever required.

3. Entering into the curse, they were praying, interceding with Lord for them so that His mercy would save them.

4. Entering into the oath, reminding people about the goodness of Lord and uplifting the brothers so that they enter the oath.

5. Walk in God's law, they diligently sought to walk in God's law and his statues.

Saints, we need people like Nehemiah who would gather fellow brothers and enter into the covenant.

Saints time is near! A little more sleep a little more slumber and poverty will be at the doorstep.

Jesus says.

Revelation  3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Don't harden your heart!

Luke  10:2  Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Pray that Lord's will be fulfilled.

God Bless
