A COVENANT TO FOLLOW THE LORD/ TO WALK AFTER THE LORD
If you read the bible you realise that covenants are stipulative in view to that which is agreed amongst various individuals
A covenant is not just a superficial statement that someone verbals out of excitement rather It is a public declaration that is consented amongst different people. It can be consented amongst each other as human beings and also it can be consented with the LORD
King Josiah makes a covenant in The LORD’S presence in the temple of The Lord that is not just _substantial but also purposeful_ . The covenant that king Josiah made in the Lord’s presence was to follow the LORD with all his heart, with all His soul and with all His mind 2 Chronicles 34:31 [31]Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the Lord–to walk after the Lord and to keep His commandments, His testimonies, and His statutes with all his heart and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that are written in this book.
Some of us have made covenants to what we should prioritize as sufficient but the question is have we ever made a covenant to follow the Lord.
