Topic	Walking in God’s Covenant  (Heb. 8:6-31)
Points	·               Covenant is an agreement between two people and in our case is between God and Us ·               If it is a covenant, it must be obeyed otherwise it will lead to punishment ·               There is the old and new covenant, the old is obsolete and gone, but we are under the new covenant ·               Becoming a Christian has put us under a covenant, but are we sure to know what covenant we operate on. ·             Note that covenant is entered into, you don’t just assume it, or hear it. 2Chr. 15:9 – 15 ·             Also note that covenant is made by sacrifice, not just by mouth. Gen.12:1 – 3 (Things that will happen when you are under the covenant) Gen 12:1-3  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:  (2)  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:  (3)  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. What do I need to do to be under the Covenant and ·             When you give your life to God, you become one of the people that are under God’s covenant ·             Make your life a total sacrifice to God, a living sacrifice in deed (Rom.12:1) ·             Exercise yourself unto Godliness ·             Adapt yourself unto the covenant. What do I enjoy ·                God will make you when you are under his covenant ·                God will bless you ·                God will make your name great ·                God will make you a blessing eventually ·                God will bless those that blesses you ·                God will Curse those that curses you ·                All families of the earth will be blessed by you Be Rest Assured Under God’s Covenant Once you know what the covenant does, you should be rest assured on them, be happy, claim them for your life and forever you will be blessed and enjoy the blessing off the covenant. From now on as you trust God for His covenant, you will continue to enjoy un-hidden goodness and mercy of God; people around you will be a witness to the greatness of God in your life.
