The Blood Covenant

Monday 30 October
READ: Zech. 9: 11 – 12   
MORE LESSON:  Deut. 18: 10

God drove the inhabitants of Canaan out of the land so that He could give it to the children of Israel. God replaced the people that were living in the land of Canaan because of their sins and wickedness. I pray that your place in destiny will never be given to another, in Jesus’ name. One of the reasons why God replaced the inhabitants of the land was because of their wicked practices of witchcraft and making their sons and daughters to pass through fire (Deut. 18: 10).

In those times, fire and blood were used in making covenants. Men would pass through the midst of fire or blood of an animal cut asunder when they were to make a covenant. The implication of this action was that anyone who broke the covenant is bound to a vow that the way the blood of the animal was mercilessly shed, so would his blood also be shed. Similarly, in making a covenant by fire, they were agreeing that if anyone should break the covenant, fire should consume and destroy him. Blood or fire covenants are severe and dangerous; God therefore forbids His children from entering into such covenants. Many of the covenants made by men in the world are backed by demons and evil spirits. This is the reason children of God should not be involved in any covenant except the Covenant of the Blood of Jesus that has been made for us.

Blood covenants are very strong and except God breaks them, no man can. Blood covenant affects people through many generations. It is the cause of reoccurring misfortune, barrenness, incurable sickness and even untimely death in many lives and families. Many people are ignorantly suffering the consequence of the blood covenants entered into by ancestors in their family line. Until such covenants are broken, the effect continues in the lives of the children. Ancestral covenants are the reasons for so much oppression, stagnation and ill-luck in many lives today. Unfortunately, many of these victims are unaware that they are prisoners of demonic covenants and they sometimes just joke about the incidents plaguing their lives.  

However, there is a way of escape through the greater Covenant made by the superior Blood that silences all the other blood covenants. According to today’s text, it is by the blood of the covenant of Jesus that all prisoners are released from the pit that they have been put by negative covenants. The Covenant of the Blood of Jesus is the antidote to all evil blood covenants. When you engage the power of the Blood of Jesus, it will silence all blood covenants that might be speaking against you. Heb. 12: 24 says, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Prayer/Action
*By the Blood of Jesus, invoke life on your destiny.
*Pray that the Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ will not fail over your life.
*Pray that the riches of Jesus’ Blood will not be absent from your life.
