“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, know the Lord, because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar, the Lord Almighty is his name: Only if these decrees vanish from my sight, declares the Lord, will Israel ever cease being a nation before me. This is what the Lord says: Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done, declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:31-37
Beyond just being a Christian, living and walking like a Christian, attending bible studies and bible believing churches; worshiping and praising God in His temple always; praying and fasting and paying your tithes and offerings often; beyond having a Christian mind and a Christian name and a Christian home, remember also that you have been placed under a new divine covenant with a clear mandate form the Almighty God who alone created and made the heavens and the earth and everything that had ever existed and is existing on them to experience something new in this life; something quite different from what you have been experiencing before and higher than what others around you are currently experiencing.
The power of the new covenant works alongside with an unending and enabling grace that comes through your believe in the dead and resurrection of our Lord Jesus and His blood that was shed on the cross for the remission of all our past and present sins; it separates what is now from what had been, it separates what had been from what will be; the new covenant gives hope beyond the ordinary efforts of men; gives assurance beyond the impossible things we see and experience on every occasion; it gives peace beyond just the physical things we see and experience in our lives every day; it gives power to our dreams, our visions and our desires; it is sustained by the words, the acts, and the truth in Jesus Christ and the power in His blood alone.
When we completely repent of our sins and forsake the old ways of living, the old thoughts of how and why things are the way they are, the old imaginations of getting our desires fulfilled; then the transforming power of the new covenant sets in to give us a brand new life and a brand new standard of doing things and the assurance of having better results irrespective of the years of we have suffered delays in doing the same thing before; irrespective of the number of year and times we have been disappointed on the same issue in question; irrespective of the frustrations we have suffered and the abuses we have heard of yourself from people within and those who are outside our immediate circle; and irrespective of our age, color, location and wealth.
The new covenant erases what had been old and replaces them with what is new, excellent and quite fitting for you now in preparation for what God is about to do next in you in the nearest future. You are not only a Christian but through believing in Jesus Christ you are a new person under a heavenly covenant that can never be faulted by the wisdom and intelligence of men and that of the devil; a covenant made only by the blood of Jesus Christ and remains effective until eternity comes into existence. You are a brand new person made alive by the power of the new covenant. For prayers, Click here For 2015 Praise and worship Click Here
