“And this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children, and your children’s children forever.” I, the Lord have spoken.
– Isaiah 59:21(NLT)
GOD’S PLEDGE OF FAITHFULNESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you believe that God has you covered?
If you are his child, he watches you and hover
His Spirit will never leave or abandon you
Even when you don’t understand his point of view.
He gave us his word so we can be transformed
Let’s use it so we will discern and be informed
His covenant goes to our descendants till eternity
He is a God who continues to love us faithfully.
________________________________________
One of the most valid contracts we can get into is to marry someone or get into partnership in business with another person or company. It takes a lot of trust in believing that this other person will follow through in their end of the agreement. “Covenant” is defined as an agreement to do or not do a particular thing while “agreement” is an understanding between entities to follow a specific course of conduct. Covenant is more binding.
God enters into covenant with his people that he will be there for them until the coming generations to come. He promises his presence to them always.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for getting into a commitment with me.
REFLECTION
What have you given back to God as part of your covenant with him?

Agreement Poem Devotional
July 16________________________________________
Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? –Amos 3:3 (NLT)
AGREEMENT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you give honor to your relations?
Do you consider their opinions?
Can two people walk together without agreeing where?
Without agreement, conflict will arise between each other.
Agreement is vital for harmony to transpire
It is also important so that you can abide
When you agree with someone about anything
You will be able to overcome all things and win.

My old life was infested with conflicts and chaos. I didn’t understand for a long time why I thrived in turmoil. In fact, it became so second nature to me to argue and make my point heard. It probably was a result of not being respected and listened to as I was growing up. The enemy had so much clout on me that created a clash with those I have relations with. I was seeking approval and wanted to convince almost everyone that I have worth and that I deserve to be loved. It destroyed many of my relationships and kept me isolated and guarded.
The bible tells us the importance of agreement in our lives. God spoke to Israel through the prophet Amos in chapter three and told them how Israel have chosen to be astray. He stressed the importance of agreeing with his plans for them. By going against God’s commands, they will have no victory.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to agree with you.
REFLECTION
How can agreement resolve conflicts in relationships?

BE OF ONE MIND Poem Devotional
February 13
Live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. – 1 Corinthians 1:10(NLT)
BE OF ONE MIND
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are in a relation
There is no place for division
Be of one mind with believers
Conflicts bring about discord in others.
Live in harmony and patiently pursue peace
Be open and respect others so that you can see
Let there be no divisions in the body of Christ
Agree with one another so you won’t have to fight.
Division is spreading wildly in the church. There are so many religions in the world today. When one person does not agree with the leadership in a congregation, they separate themselves from the church, go to another one or build a new church. The world view relationships as a business partnership. That is why there are so much separations, divorces and annulments in marriages. When one spouse discovers a difference, they run away instead of working it out with their partners.
The bible instructs the church (body of Christ) to be of one mind in order to avoid divisions. Jesus didn’t die for us to have many religions. He wants us all to have a relationship with God. He wants us to seek God in order to be unified with him and other believers.
PRAYER
Lord, let me never stray from you.
REFLECTION
Why is “agreement” very important in relationships and the church?
