Good -Life Devotional: YOUR GREATNESS IS DETERMINED BY YOUR ABILITY TO KEEP COVENANTS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   The nation of Israel was built on the strength of the covenant God made with their fathers—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In Deuteronomy 4:6,8, Israel was reminded that their greatness was directly tied to their ability to obey God's laws. Their wisdom and understanding would set them apart from other nations, demonstrating that true greatness is covenantal.

    Nations that disregard the covenants enshrined in their constitutions cannot attain lasting greatness. God despises the breaking of covenants and punishes those who engage in such actions (Romans 1:31). Many Christians struggle in life because they fail to uphold their covenant obligations to God, their families, and their communities. Ecclesiastes 5:4-6 warns that failing to fulfill vows invites divine judgment, as even angels are assigned to execute punishment against covenant breakers.

    A striking biblical example is Abimelek, who broke the covenant with the house of Gideon. As a result, God sent an evil spirit to bring destruction upon him (Judges 9:23). Similarly, the Bible warns against associating with those who are "given to change" (Proverbs 24:21), for such individuals lack commitment and bring instability.

    Marriage, business agreements, and spiritual commitments are all sacred before God. Malachi 2:14 reminds us that God is a witness between a man and his wife, condemning treachery. Psalm 15:4 praises those who “keep their oaths even when it hurts.” True greatness is found in honoring covenants, for God rewards faithfulness and punishes unfaithfulness.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a strong will to keep our covenant obligations. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to keep your covenants .
