Genesis 17:2 (BBE)
2  And I will make an agreement between you and me, and your offspring will be greatly increased.
7 And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.
The Divine Covenants of God are those covenants God makes with us. Covenants are promises of God as revealed in the Scriptures, conditioned on certain terms on the part of humans, as obedience, repentance, faith, and righteousness.
These covenants provide a unifying principle for understanding the whole of Scripture and define the relationship between God and man. The heart of that relationship is found in the phrase, “I will be their God and they shall be My people” Gen. 17:7.
God will keep His promise forever to His everlasting possession and that God will hold inviolate that covenant forever! Genesis 17:7.
Covenant is a bond-in-blood sovereignly administered by the Lord Himself.
Heb. 6:13 says for when God made a promise to Abraham because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all disputes. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath.
Do you feel the gravity of covenant? God swearing against His own character. Hebrews is an affirmation of Genesis 17:7 because all through scriptures, we have seen God’s trustworthiness and faithfulness shine through.
To believe that God is a covenant keeper, we must first believe Numbers 23:19 and Hebrews 6:18, that God never lies, it does not matter how long it takes for the covenant to be affected, it certainly will come to pass otherwise Isaiah 55:11 will be a false claim on God’s side and a slur on His character.
The records of God’s covenant-keeping track are included in the Bible to show us that God’s word is final. Just as He did with:
Noahic covenant: Genesis 9:11.
Abrahamic covenant: Genesis 12:1-3.
Mosaic covenant: Exodus 19:5-6.
Davidic covenant: 2 Sam 7:12-17.
New Covenant: Jeremiah 31:31-34
I looked at all of God’s covenant testimonials and decided to cut my own covenant with God based on His word of healing and health. I live and walk in divine health based on Isaiah 53:5 and 3 John 1:2. I activated my divine health covenant card with the Lord in 2012 and maintain it by the blood of Jesus and the faithfulness of God. By faith and standing on the word of God, I do not even have paracetamol in my home.
The Lord used the word “covenant” 13 times in this chapter alone, the covenant of God is unconditional, an everlasting covenant and it is important to note that in any covenant, it is essentially unilateral; It is God who covenants. No covenant is left in the hands of the creature to guarantee success- from the very beginning, God affixed His signature on every covenant, you didn’t sign anything with Him and so because He swears in His name, He will keep any and every covenant He made with you. He says in Jeremiah 33:20-22 that if we can’t break His covenant of day and night, then He can’t break His covenant of a king on David’s throne, He kept it, Jesus, the King of kings is the last of David’s line and the permanent king on the throne of David.      God is faithful whereas men are not. Get your covenant card out, the Lord is ready, willing, and faithful to cut a covenant with you.
Shalom
