Convenants Can’t Be Broken
That you left something doesn’t mean that it has left you. eg: You decide to leave a bullet wound untreated, it doesn’t mean that the bullet wound will leave you in turn. Ignoring your problems doesn’t make them go away. Leaving an infection doesn’t cure it, infact it makes it spread.
Am not saying that you should focus on your problems. Far be it from me!! But am saying that you should acnowledge the problem and focus on a solution.
You don’t turn a blind eye or walk away from something you don’t desire. Instead you remove it. You don’t just decide to walk away (decide to ignore) from a character you don’t like, you remove it.
But it doesn’t just end there. You don’t just remove it you replace it with something desirable because nature abhors vaccum. Jesus told a story of a demon that was driven out from a place and the demon came around later but on seeing that the place was empty reocupied the place but this time it came with reinforcement.
This brings us to the subject of convenants. A lot of people are bound by convenants they didn’t enter but were put into. Just like when you destroy a tree/seed, you didn’t just destroy the seed but it’s decsendants. That is thousands of trees and seeds/trees that was inside it and when a seed is planted it’s descendants are also released. In the same way that when a tree is destroyed, thousands of it’s offspring is also destroyed so is it that when a tree enters a convenant it’s descendants are also inserted in the convenant. So when a person makes a convenant, his descendants are bound by it because at that time they are still inside him and are still a part of him. Because of this a lot of people are bound with convenants they wouldn’t willingly make because when it was made they didn’t have a choice. The worst part of it is been ignorant of this convenant. Suffering and not knowing why you are suffering. But when a child is born he/she is now seperated from the parents. Due to the fact that you are now seperate from the origin you can now disconnect from it. But when it was made, you were still part of your parent, inside them, choiceless. Just like you inherit things from your parents, not just biological traits but spiritual traits.
Leaving an ancestral convenant is not what counts, what counts is what you are leaving it for. You don’t just leave a convenant you have to replace it with a higher convenant. I can only recomend one that works, that is entering a convenant with Jesus christ.
A governor who leaves office and retires incures the risk of been crushed by his/her enemies in the government house(This is one of the reasons why politicians retire quite late). Also a governor who leaves office and enters the office of a mayor is going to suffer in the hands of his enemies in the government house. When you leave something (An ancestral curse/convenant) , do well to go for a higher substitute. When you leave the government house as governor, go for presidential, senate, federal seat somplace higher. Then your foes in the government house will desist from you knowing that you left them for a higher power, a power capable of crushing them. It is in the same way that when you run from an ancestral convenant/curse, you look for a higher convenant. A curse is not just removed, it’s replaced with a blessing. I know of one i can recomend, that is that of jesus christ the son of the only living God, that is the highest convenant you can ever enter(The name of the lord is a strong tower, the righteous run into and are safe).
Case Study: The isrealites left the convenant that was made by there ancestor Abraham with God. They forgot and left Him and went for lower convenants with dead gods. But God didn’t leave them neither did He forget them but was always with them even in exile and punished, because of the convenant, a convenant their fathers and not they made. The isrealites couldn’t enter a higher convenant because they were connected to the highest one. Also if you noticed in the bible, people that left their gods for the true God lived in peace (ie: Abraham and Rahab) while those who left the true God for smaller ones lived in torment (eg: Isreal and judah)
Convenants are not broken, they are replaced by higher and better ones. they that are in Christ are new creatures behold old things have passed away and i have made all things new(2cor5:17)
In the end i think it might be safe to say that convenants are broken or that they are broken when they are replaced with higher ones.
Evils Of Religion
Religion teaches us that if you are to choose between going to church and give our offering or give it to a beggar on the road that we should give it in our offering. It teaches us that going to church is more important than helping people. God values people, He sent His son to die for people and not for any building. People are important to Him so if you claim to serve Him, what is important to Him (people) should also be important to us. If you give in church and you don’t give to help people, your giving is invalid.
Note: In the parable of the good samaritan, the priest abandoned the wounded man on the road but was on his way to the temple for service.How touching.
Don’t let your light shine only in the church. In fact the bible says that your light is meant to shine in the world that men might see it and give glory to Him. Service in church is good but we should try and find out what is more important to Him and make them our priorities.
Religion teaches us that we should rely and wait on God to do everything for us while the bible tells us that we are co-labourers with Him. This means that we do our part while He does his part. The idea on waiting on god to do everything for you promotes laziness and failure in christiandom and this makes christianity unatractive. “God won’t do for you what you can do for yourself.” Another thing we should avoid is circular humanism that teaches us that we should rely on ourself for everything. In things like this you will need to strike a balance. (Avoid extremes)
As my coach will say “Don’t be religious, be relevant” !!!
True religion requires that you be relevant in the lives of people because your relevance to people shows the relevance of God and the need for christ in their lives.
