Topic: THE WEIGHT OF COVENANTS I

 

RCCG

Memorise:

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
— Psalm 89:34 (KJV)

Read: Genesis 17:1-8 (KJV)

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

RCCG Open Heavens 14 August 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

In today's Bible reading, God made a covenant with Abram and promised to make him a father of many nations, then changed his name to Abraham. God never lies, so all the promises that He made to Abraham were fulfilled.

Numbers 23:12 says: "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" When God makes a covenant with a person, He always fulfils His part, and this gives the fellow access to everything he or she will ever need on earth. These things include long life, prosperity, favour, blessings, joy, peace, divine health, and everything good.

The devil, on the other hand, is unable to keep any covenant he makes. He breaks his promises at will because he is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). People often enter into covenants with other parties to receive something from them, while also giving something in return. The real weight of a covenant, however, comes when one of the parties involved is unable to fulfil their obligations. In most cases, a heavy weight of death is the consequence for breaking a covenant.

When people join secret societies, they enter into covenants. When they do not do the things they are asked to do in the group, the penalty is usually death. You might be asking yourself, "Why would anybody want to join a cult knowing that it could lead to their death?" Some people claim that they join secret societies because they need protection, while others say that it is for prosperity and other benefits. It is important to note that the devil lures them into such societies with the promise of those things, but in return, he takes their souls and destroys them. What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul (Matthew 16:26)? A soul is too heavy a weight for anyone to surrender to the devil.

Beloved, do not allow the devil to tempt you into establishing an evil covenant with empty promises, and if you have entered into any covenant with hell and signed a pact with satan, Jesus can set you free if you run to Him. He will not cast away anyone who comes to Him (John 6:37). I pray that the Lord will establish His covenant of peace with you and your household, in Jesus' name.

Key Point:
Any covenant that is made with the devil is based on lies.

Bible in One Year:
Jeremiah 33-36

Hymn 49: Standing on the Promises of God

Verse 1:
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.

Chorus:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.

Verse 2:
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
Standing on the promises of God.

(Chorus)

Verse 4:
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Savior as my All in All,
Standing on the promises of God.

(Chorus)

Open Heavens Devotional 14 August 2026 Commentary

Theme: The Burden Bearer reveals the weight of covenants: God always fulfills His covenants, bringing life and blessing. The devil breaks his covenants, bringing death and destruction. Never trade your soul for satan's empty promises.

Major Keywords: Weight of covenants, God's faithful covenant, devil breaks his promises, secret societies, soul at risk, freedom in Jesus.

Commentary Summary:

• God Keeps His Covenants: Numbers 23:19 declares God cannot lie. When He made a covenant with Abraham, He fulfilled every promise—blessing, fruitfulness, and inheritance. God's covenant gives access to long life, prosperity, favor, joy, peace, and divine health.

• The Devil Cannot Keep His Word: Satan is a liar and the father of lies. He breaks his promises at will. Covenants with hell are based on deception and end in destruction.

• Secret Societies Are Traps: They lure with promises of protection and prosperity but demand the soul as payment. If you gain the world but lose your soul, you have lost everything.

• Freedom in Jesus: If you have entered any evil covenant, run to Jesus. He will not cast you out (John 6:37). His blood can break every chain and set you free.

• Key Truth: God's covenant brings life; the devil's covenant brings death. Do not be tempted by empty promises. Trust in God's faithful covenant and walk in His peace.

Reference to Theme: This message, THE WEIGHT OF COVENANTS I, establishes that covenants carry enormous weight—blessing or curse, life or death. God's covenant is trustworthy and life-giving; satan's covenant is fraudulent and destructive. Choose God's covenant and reject every pact with hell.

Action Steps:

1. The Covenant Check: Have you ever joined any secret society, cult, or group that required a pledge or oath against God? If yes, renounce it today. Confess it to God.

2. The Renunciation Prayer: Say aloud: "I renounce every covenant with hell. I break every pact with satan. I am free in Jesus' name."

3. The Covenant Declaration: Declare daily: "God's covenant over my life is faithful. He keeps His promises. I trust Him. I will not sell my soul."
