REGIONAL COVENANT DAY

Date: 26th January 2025

Preacher: Pastor James Oyekunle (APICP)

Topic: The Concept and Significance of Covenant with God

Text: Galatians 6:7-10

A covenant is a solemn agreement between God and His people, where He promises blessings and protection in exchange for loyalty and obedience (Genesis 15:8). 

Sacrifices often serve as tokens of such covenants, as exemplified by Hannah, who offered Samuel to fulfill her vow.

Principles of Sowing: A Foundation of Covenant

1. Sowing is a Covenant Principle - Galatians 6:7 underscores the importance of sowing with care and cheerfulness, as our actions directly impact the harvest (Galatians 6:8).

2. Faith as a Pillar in Sowing - Faith ensures that our seeds will bear fruit (Hebrews 11:1-6). Like Abraham, faith and obedience yield divine rewards (Genesis 17:1). Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

3. Generosity and Obedience in Covenant Seeds - Covenant seeds must be sown willingly, not under compulsion (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). This act of cheerful giving aligns us with God’s heart.

4. Acknowledgment of God’s Ownership - Our seeds represent our lives, acknowledging that everything belongs to God (Romans 12:1-2). Obedience to His command is non-negotiable in the covenant process.

5. Expect a Harvest - Psalm 126:6 assures us that sowing will lead to reaping. However, sowing alone is not the covenant, it is a step towards its fulfillment.

Establishing and Maintaining the Covenant

- A covenant with God calls for a Christ-like lifestyle that yields productivity and peace (James 3:18).

- Establishing a covenant through sowing demands ongoing commitment and obedience. It reflects a heart truly aligned with God’s purposes.

In summary, a covenant is more than a promise; it is is a transformative relationship built on faith, obedience, and unwavering trust in God. As we sow seeds of faith and maintain our covenant with God, we can expect a harvest of divine blessings. 

Will you join us on this journey of covenant, and experience the power of God's promise in your life?
