Devotional Message

Meditate On The Message

I thank God for His compassion and mercies towards us, they endure from generation to generation. we take a look at the consequence of breaking covenants. In the verse above, we see that every covenant involves an oath, and this oath is the most respected component in the covenant. As a matter of fact, despising or disrespecting this oath is enough to break a covenant.

An oath is described as, "a solemn promise, often invoking a divine witness, regarding one's future action or behaviour". So, we can say that an oath is a much more serious type of a promise. In every covenant, the actions of an oath cannot be hidden; that is, you can easily see whether an oath is kept to or not.

This is why in describing the people's inability to keep to the oath, the bible uses the expression, "seeing". The expression, "seeing" shows that the oath, powering every covenant involves a public display of allegiance. Covenant changes your way of life, your conduct, and your behaviour.

You just can't hide the fact that you're in a covenant if so. We also gather from the same scripture that since God used the term, "Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant", an inability to act out the promise made at the beginning of the covenant is interpreted as "breaking the covenant". Every covenant, whether divine or satanic, begins with a strong promise which is an oath.

The greater one or the deity makes an oath of benefit towards the lesser one and the lesser one makes an oath of service towards the greater one. The lesser one acts out this oath by expressively serving the deity, a service that involves a lot of sacrifice and offering while the deity responds by pouring out benefits on the worshipper. Once this clause is activated, you get under siege and wicked spirits become assigned to your life and do every possible thing to bring you under punishment.

A secret decree is made to ensure you stay captive no matter what you do.
