Bible

The Broken Covenant

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 4:19-22

Worship song: Yield Not To Temptation

 


Meditation:

    Lamech was the first person in the Bible to practice polygamy, marrying two wives, Adah and Zillah. His actions directly violated the divine order established by God, which calls for marriage between one man and one woman. His marriage opposed God's plan, as stated: "a man shall leave his father and his mother. He shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Lamech departed from the pattern of monogamy, disobeying God’s divine plan and marking the beginning of bigamy in human history. 

    While our laws and culture reject polygamy as unlawful and unacceptable, the practice remains a socially accepted tradition in several African countries. Although we may not practice polygamy, people continue to break their marriage covenants by having multiple partners while legally married. This practice violates God's covenant of marriage and faithfulness. 

    May we remain steadfast in upholding God's divine principles and obeying His commandments, declaring that we will do whatever He says.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, we humbly bow before You in reverence to honor You for Your faithfulness towards us. We wholeheartedly thank You for Your limitless grace and tender mercies. Lord, we acknowledge that we have failed to uphold Your laws and obey Your precepts and commands. Father, this morning we humbly place our wrongdoings into Your hands, seeking the peace that comes through forgiveness. We come before You, confessing our faults and the sins that so easily beset us. Forgive us, Lord, for blatantly disregarding Your instructions to satisfy our fleshly desires. Merciful God, please pardon our unfaithfulness and our failure to keep Your commandments. Lord, direct our paths, renew our minds, and help us exchange our fleshly desires for Your divine purpose, and follow Your covenant. Show us, Lord, how to live by Your truth and follow Your will. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you a peaceful day. ✌👏🙏

  1. Which sin listed in the Bible that is not known or practiced by humanity and inspite of them all we are forgiven. All have sinned and come short of His glory, nevertheless, we are forgiven. The covenant that was broken, is now renewed and we are now in good standing.🙏🙏💪
