“A Covenant Relationship” 

 

Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow.  Lead me by Your Truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me.  All day long I put my hope in You.  Remember, O LORD, Your Compassion and unfailing love, which You have shown from long ages past.  Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.  Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O LORD.   Psalm 25:4-7

 

What is a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP?  The word COVENANT means: an agreement or promise, usually formal, between two or more people.   In this Psalm, which was written by KING DAVID, who was requesting some DIVINE GUIDANCE from GOD so that he could walk in the ways of God.  Which means, David could LIVE his LIFE according to the WILL of GOD.  

 

In this Psalm, David is expressing his DEEP DESIRE to have GOD’S Intervention in his circumstances.  David put his TRUST in the LORD for DELIVERANCE and makes a request of God; that He would REMEMBER His FAITHFUL LOVE, His COVENANT LOVE, instead of REMEMBERING David’s sins.  This was because of the LOVING, LOYAL RELATIONSHIP that King David had with the ALMIGHTY GOD.  

 

The GREATER, the CLOSENESS between David and God, the GREATER David DEPENDED on God, and the GREATER DEPENDANCE on God, the MORE David EXPECTED INTERVENTION and DELIVERANCE from GOD.  King David knew that his PAST SINS could INTERFERE with GOD’S INTERVENTION, and he did what he was SUPPOSED TO DO, he CONFESSED his SINS to GOD, and this brought him a CLOSER COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD.  

 

If we are to have a CLOSER RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD, then IT is CRITICAL for us to have a CLOSER COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who is the ONLY SON of GOD, and the ONLY ONE who is ABLE to bring US into a CLOSE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD. And this brings us a CLOSER COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with the LORD JESUS, who SUFFERED, BLED and DIED then RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE, in order to bring SALVATION to US. And when we are in a CLOSE COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with Him, we will be able to have the DIVINE INTERVENTION and DELIVERANCE, just as DAVID did. 

 

In order to have a COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with JESUS and GOD, we MUST have a RELATIONSHIP with JESUS, which will give us a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with our HEAVENLY FATHER.  This is what you MUST DO to have that RELATIONSHIP.  You MUST COME TO JESUS and ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ASK HIM for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and have a CLOSE COVENANT RELATIONSHIP with GOD and HIS SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. And ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS!!    Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!   Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
