GOD's covenant with DAVID

 

1 Samuel 16:13

King James Version

13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, 

and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: 

and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David 

from that day forward. 

So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

We've witnessed the "POST-flood COVENANT".

That was GOD's covenant with Noah.

Then we wrote about "GOD's covenant with ABRAHAM".

Now, SPIRIT wants "GOD's COVENANT with DAVID" written.

These verses speak of that covenant.

Psalm 18:50

King James Version

50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; 

and sheweth mercy to his anointed, 

to David, 

and to his seed for evermore.

Psalm 89:3-4

King James Version

3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, 

I have sworn unto David my servant,

4 Thy seed will I establish for ever, 

and build up thy throne to all generations. 

Selah.

Psalm 89:19-37

King James Version

19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, 

and saidst, 

I have laid help upon one that is mighty; 

I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

20 I have found David my servant; 

with my holy oil have I anointed him:

21 With whom my hand shall be established: 

mine arm also shall strengthen him.

22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; 

nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, 

and plague them that hate him.

24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: 

and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

25 I will set his hand also in the sea, 

and his right hand in the rivers.

26 He shall cry unto me, 

Thou art my father, my God, 

and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, 

higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, 

and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, 

and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, 

and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, 

and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, 

and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness 

will I not utterly take from him, 

nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, 

nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness 

that I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever, 

and his throne as the sun before me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, 

and as a faithful witness in heaven. 

Selah.

Isaiah 55:3-4

King James Version

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: 

hear, and your soul shall live; 

and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, 

even the sure mercies of David.

4 Behold, 

 have given him for a witness to the people, 

a leader and commander to the people.

Jeremiah 33:14-17

King James Version

14 Behold, the days come, 

saith the Lord, 

that I will perform that good thing 

which I have promised unto the house of Israel 

and to the house of Judah.

15 In those days, 

and at that time, 

will I cause the Branch of righteousness 

to grow up unto David; 

and he shall execute 

judgment and righteousness in the land.

16 In those days shall Judah be saved, 

and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: 

and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, 

The Lord our righteousness.

17 For thus saith the Lord; 

David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne 

of the house of Israel;

GOD's covenant with ABRAHAM

 

Genesis 17:19

King James Version

19 And God said, 

Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; 

and thou shalt call his name Isaac: 

and I will establish my covenant with him 

for an everlasting covenant, 

and with his seed after him.

SPIRIT has been leading us to "covenants" today.

We just finished writing the "POST-flood COVENANT" with Noah.

Now, SPIRIT wants us to look into GOD's covenant with Abraham.

And so it shall be.

Genesis 17:1-22

King James Version

17 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, 

the Lord appeared to Abram, 

and said unto him, 

I am the Almighty God; 

walk before me, 

and be thou perfect.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, 

and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 And Abram fell on his face: 

and God talked with him, 

saying,

4 As for me, behold, 

my covenant is with thee, 

and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, 

but thy name shall be Abraham; 

for a father of many nations have I made thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, 

and I will make nations of thee, 

and kings shall come out of thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee 

and thy seed after thee in their generations 

for an everlasting covenant, 

to be a God unto thee, 

and to thy seed after thee.

8 And I will give unto thee, 

and to thy seed after thee, 

the land wherein thou art a stranger, 

all the land of Canaan, 

for an everlasting possession; 

and I will be their God.

9 And God said unto Abraham, 

Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, 

thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, 

between me and you and thy seed after thee; 

Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; 

and it shall be a token of the covenant 

betwixt me and you.

12 And he that is eight days old 

shall be circumcised among you, 

every man child in your generations, 

he that is born in the house, 

or bought with money of any stranger, 

which is not of thy seed.

13 He that is born in thy house, 

and he that is bought with thy money, 

must needs be circumcised: 

and my covenant shall be in your flesh 

for an everlasting covenant.

14 And the uncircumcised man child 

whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, 

that soul shall be cut off from his people; 

he hath broken my covenant.

15 And God said unto Abraham, 

As for Sarai thy wife, 

thou shalt not call her name Sarai, 

but Sarah shall her name be.

16 And I will bless her, 

and give thee a son also of her: 

yea, I will bless her, 

and she shall be a mother of nations; 

kings of people shall be of her.

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, 

and laughed, 

and said in his heart, 

Shall a child be born 

unto him that is an hundred years old? 

and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

18 And Abraham said unto God, 

O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 And God said, 

Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; 

and thou shalt call his name Isaac: 

and I will establish my covenant with him 

for an everlasting covenant, 

and with his seed after him.

20 And as for Ishmael, 

I have heard thee: 

Behold, I have blessed him, 

and will make him fruitful, 

and will multiply him exceedingly; 

twelve princes shall he beget, 

and I will make him a great nation.

21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, 

which Sarah shall bear unto thee 

at this set time in the next year.

22 And he left off talking with him, 

and God went up from Abraham.
