Covenant Life

(Sunday Sermon - Dec 03, 2023)

Promise: (Exodus 19:5 NIV)  Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine…

 Why did God choose Israel as his nation? God knew that no nation on earth was good enough to deserve to be called his people, his “special treasure.” He chose Israel, not because of anything they had done, but in his love and mercy he chose Israel in spite of the wrong the nation had done and would do. Why did he want to have a special nation on earth? To represent his way of life, to teach his Word, and to be an agent of salvation to the world. “All the nations of the earth” would be blessed through Abraham’s descendants.

(Genesis 18:17 NIV) ‭‭Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 

(Genesis 18:18 NIV) Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 

Gentiles and kings would come to the Lord through Israel, predicted Isaiah (Isaiah 60:3 NIV) Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Through the nation of Israel, the Messiah, God’s chosen Son, would be born. God chose one nation and put it through a rigorous training program, so that one day it could be a channel for his blessings to the whole world. Today we are the Israelites for God. God wants us to be a blessing to the world.

Covenant:

(2 Kings 11:17 NIV) Jehoiada then made a covenant between the Lord and the king and people that they would be the Lord’s people. He also made a covenant between the king and the people. 

James Kawalya Testimony: Father and mother getting married. Three girls were born. Going to witch doctors and witches now 6 girl children. Go to a forest in northern Tanzania. She should undress and live in a forest for seven days. That was the kingdom of darkness but understood the power of cleansing and consecration. She was the chief witch of entire continent of Africa. Eating fruits and leaves. The priestess said, “God away, I cannot help you”. Try again to meet her. 14 days. Salvation is free but deliverance has a price. She said “I can see you will have a son. You offer him as a husband.

He was born. Now it was a wedding of one day old son to a 60 old witch. Many people have come for it. This is the time she would transfer her powers to the boy. Coming to breast feed the child, a python coiled around the baby. For three months she did not come near the boy. After 3 months, father left with six girls and the mother left alone. She is mentally disturbed. Uncle brought up, addicted to alcohol. 5 men came and shot his uncle and he died. They are witches and handed over.

They take the boy into a cave 3-year-old and put him in a cave where dead bodies of witches are kept. He is put in a cave for three days and nights and without food. Their spirits meet with the boy. The snake is there. The snake entered his body. All the time the snake was moving in his body. The pain was there in his body. Satan controls you through pain. To forget the pain of drinking alcohol.

Three days over 4 years old. Hundreds of people come and worship for power. Even women older than his mother appear and worship for power. He is the baby witch.

Covenant Prayer:

20 women and one pastor. Began an ‘Interference”. they had closed the entire realm. If they are successful, they would close the realm for 70 years. Raise the children early. 7000 churches were charged and empowered by their prayers from different parts of the world. They have never gone to those villages and cities. Backsliders were converted. People got back to pray. In their prayer room, they are charging. There was a network of revival- reviving churches. Not by preaching but by praying. Old women youngest was 60. They will come 5 minutes before time. 6 hours prayer.

Warfare 

(Leviticus 6:9 NIV) “Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. 

(Leviticus 6:12 NIV) The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. 

(Leviticus 6:13 NIV) The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.
