Scriptures: Genesis 9:11-15, Genesis 15:18, 17:7, Numbers
23:19
A covenant is a contract or an agreement between two
parties. Such an agreement is binding on the parties involved and any violation
of the terms by either of the parties always attracts some consequences as
defined in the contract.
The living God is a covenant keeping God (Deuteronomy 4:31)
and there is none like Him. His
integrity is attached to His words and this makes it impossible for Him to
disappoint or fail once He gives His words regarding an issue. He cannot lie.
Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man,
that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise
and not fulfill?” Since we are made in God’s image and He is a covenant keeping
God, we are expected to keep every covenant made with Him.
On the other hand, the adversary is a deceiver. He lures
people into covenant relationship by promising what he cannot deliver, with the
goal of stealing their God given dominion. When anyone enters into a covenant
relationship with the devil, such individual surrenders his/her God given
authority to the devil. Just as God demands that any covenant made with Him be
fulfilled even when such covenant is made in haste, so does the devil has
absolute right to enforce any covenant made with him. The devil will torment
such individual who tries to breach any agreement made with him without mercy.
Some things to know
about a covenant are:
* Every covenant
has some consequences which must come to pass upon violation by any of the parties involved (Deuteronomy 28:
15-68).
* Exchange of
precious things and taking an oath by the parties involved in a covenant places a seal on that covenant (Hebrews
7:22).
* When blood is
involved, it is a serious issue. For example, it is a common practice among kids to have a blood covenant as a sign
of friendship forever and many have
ignorantly brought misery upon themselves as a result of such covenant.
Sexual relationship outside marriage is
another example.
* Covenants made
by generations before you may be binding on you and the generations after you (Exodus 6:5, Hebrews
7:9-10). That’s why we need to pray and
destroy every ungodly covenant that must have been made on our behalf
by generations before us.
* Every covenant
made outside God is a violation of God’s words (Exodus 23:32)
* God is a
covenant keeping God and His covenant stands forever (Deuteronomy 4:31, Exodus 6:5).
* Every covenant
outside God can be broken and made of no effect only by the blood of Jesus.
The covenant by the blood of Jesus is greater than any other
covenant (Matthew 26:28).
Only those in Christ are covered by this covenant. If you
have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have the
opportunity to do it now and take advantage of the new covenant by His blood
shed on the cross at Calvary for you and me. It is only then you will be able
to destroy every past covenant that you might have entered into (Hebrews 7:22,
12:24).
* Confess your
sins (or those of generations before you) for breaking God’s law by entering into ungodly covenant.
* Ask for
forgiveness and mercy.
* Plead the blood
of Jesus upon you and your household. Then pray the following
prayers.
Prayers:
* I plead the
blood of Jesus upon my spirit, soul and body now in Jesus’ name.
* I bind every
demon assigned to enforce any evil covenant in my life in Jesus’ name.
* I renounce and
make of no effect in my life every conscious and unconscious covenant that I have entered into in the
past in Jesus’ name.
* I renounce every
covenant binding on me as a result of the actions of the generations before me in Jesus’ name.
* Every oath that
I have taken (or taken on my behalf) sealing any ungodly covenant in my life, let the blood of Jesus reverse such
oath and unseal any such ungodly covenant,
in Jesus’ name (Deuteronomy 29:12)
* Every curse that
has come upon me as a result of my breaking an ungodly covenant, I command you by the blood of Jesus to be
turned into blessings in Jesus’ name.
* I destroy every
covenant binding on me as a result of the actions of anyone in my family line in Jesus’ name.
* Let the blood of
Jesus destroy the foundation of any evil covenant operating in my life in Jesus’ name.
* Let the fire of
the Holy Ghost consume everything in me that is not of God in Jesus’ name.
* Let the
activities of any evil covenant in my life cease from this moment on in
Jesus’ name.
* Every evil
effect of any demonic covenant in my life, be erased by the blood of Jesus.
* Let the blood of
Jesus destroy every demonic deposit (as a result of evil covenant) in my spirit, soul and body in Jesus’ name.
* Every covenant
that is working against my advancement, break by the anointing in Jesus' name.
* Since I have a
new covenant by the blood of Jesus, every blessing that I have lost as a result of the operations of any evil
covenant must be restored to me seven fold from this day forward in Jesus’ name.
