Topic: Covenant Keeping God
Ministering: Pastor E.A Adeboye
Text: 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
• The word testament in our text is also called Covenant.
- A covenant is an agreement signed with blood.
- A covenant is not a contract or a deal.
• There is the Old covenant and the new covenant, also known as the Old Testament and the New Testament.
• In Gen 15:12-14, we see the very first covenant between God and man, a covenant of freedom from bondage, a covenant of prosperity and abundance.
- The covenant was fulfilled in Exodus 12:1-6.
- When it was time to fulfill the covenant, He told the children of Israel to mark their doors with blood so that when the spirit of death sees the blood, it will pass over.
• As a member of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, you are a partaker of the Covenant God had with the founder of the church.
- Even the widespread establishment of the church across many nations of the world has no human explanation, it is a product of the covenant.
• Beginning from today, you will begin to enjoy the benefits of the covenant in Jesus name.
• Just as the children of Israel left Egypt with a transfer of wealth, beginning from now, expect a transfer of wealth.
• The New covenant however was sealed in the blood of Jesus. A covenant for healing, restoration, a covenant of life, a covenant.
- The new covenant is a covenant of abundant life.
- The new covenant is available to reverse whatever evil the devil has done.
• In the new covenant, we see the breaking of the body of Jesus and the blood of Jesus. It is a New Testament of Life.
• The Holy Communion is not an ordinary meal, if it is taken properly, it will give life, restoration, and power.
• The theme for this month is not ordinary, indeed after a perfect Jubilee, He comes to us as a covenant keeping God to keep His promise.
• The blood of Jesus represents the new covenant and the new covenant includes power, Power to resist the devil, and Power to enforce your perfect Jubilee.
Salvation Call:
• The only way you can lose out on this is if you are not saved. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse away your sins and make you saved.
• If you have not given your life to Christ, come and do so now.
