The Covenant after
the great flood
Genesis ch 8 vs 20- 9 vs 20: And I, behold, I establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the
fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go
out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither
shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall
there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
12 And God said, this
is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living
creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
13 I do set my bow
in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the
earth.
After the fall and Adam and Eve were sent out of the garden,
The earth flourished and along with it man moved away from God. He sinned against
God. Murder, Adultery, Covetousness and more of this was prevalent in the
world. There was only 1 family who was God fearing and respected God. Noah and
his family. We know the story of how the floods came and only Noah and all his
family and one pair of all animals were saved. Once the flood receeded, God
made the above promises to Noah.
A- I will not curse
the earth anymore.
After Noah offered sacrifices to the
Lord. The Lord said His heart , I will not curse the earth anymore. We live in
that promise.
B - Repopulate the
earth.
This was the
original plan of God. Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. Seedtime
and harvest, Summer and winter will continue. The earth was brought back to its
original design.
C -The subjection of
the animal kingdom
The animal kingdom was subjected to
Man to rule over them. He was also permitted to eat all flesh.
D – Human life is
sacred.
Whoever
sheds a man’s blood, blood shall be required from him. Because we are created
in His image.
E – Promise to never
destroy the earth and the rainbow is established
God said I will
establish my covenant with you. I will show you the bow in the sky as a
promise. How beautiful to see the rainbow. How wonderful it is . Today science
explains how it is that light is dispersed through the water droplets for a
person to see the rain bow.
How many times we see the rainbow? Do we remember the promises
of God in our lives? Do we remember that God will heal us, sustain us, give us
his blessing more than we ask or think? Do we remember the times that we have been
saved from danger?
Thank you Lord. for His wonderful blessings in our lives.
Thank you for the healing that you work in our lives. Thank you for the wonderful
care you have for us. Thank you for helping us find the purspose of our lives. May
Your name be glorified in our lives. Father forgive us our sins , Heal the
broken hearted. May there be abundance in our live.
Amen.
Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus, Thank you Lord for Loving
me.
