DCLM Higher Everyday 18 December 2025 — The Covenant Keeping God
DCLM Higher Everyday 18 December 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Covenant Keeping God
Topic: The Covenant Keeping God
Text: Leviticus 26: 40-46
40If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
42Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
44And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
45But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
46These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Key Verse: “And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: “(Nehemiah 1:5).
Message
The marriage of a man to a woman with the consent of their parents following the laws of the land is a contract or a covenant. The parties have mutual trust and do not expect disappointment or unfaithfulness from either party. The Scriptures say the two of them become one. God’s covenant with the children of Israel had a more significant implication. It was an agreement between the infinite God and the finite man. God demanded commitment to the covenant, but they failed continually; therefore, they no longer enjoyed the blessings of the covenant and their adversaries afflicted them.

Our text reminds us of God’s faithfulness to His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He was willing to receive them if they genuinely repented of their trespasses and wholeheartedly returned unto Him. Today, we have a better covenant built upon better promises established through the blood of the everlasting covenant, the blood of Jesus. To be a partaker of His blessings, you must come through repentance and faith in Christ’s atoning sacrifice, the world’s Saviour.
Quote: We have a better covenant
Challenge: Have you made Christ your Saviour?
Prayer for today: Lord, I surrender myself to your Lordship.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
