Covenant of Peace

Jehovah is a God of Covenant. Just like he made covenants with Noah, Abraham and the rest, he longs to covenant with you so that he will be your God forever. The blood of the covenant has already been shed in Jesus our Lord, and when you get saved you enter into the 'New Covenant' but I find that the understanding of all we get, our redemption package is lacking. You will never walk in what you are ignorant of. That is a fact. As such, I have determined to find out what the various covenants in God's word are and to do them.

With God, no amount of prayer, fasting or tears can get him to do something for you if you are out of covenant. You have to know what needs to be done to activate each covenant in your life. Today I studied the covenant of peace and came up with the following things to do, to ensure that God gives you peace.

1. Seek to know God (2 Peter 1:2, Matt 11:28-29)
2. Be led of God (Ps 23:1-2, Is 48:17-18)
3. Trust in God at all times (Ps 125:1, Is 26:3, Ps 119:165)
4. Be conscious of the Divine Presence you carry (Ps 23:4, Matt 28:20)
5. Be zealous for God (Num 25:10-12)

Once you line up with the covenant requirements, Peace will be ushered into your life.
