TOPIC: TREAT GOD’S COVENANT WITH UTMOST HONOUR AND RESPECT
READ: HOSEA 6:7-11; HOSEA 7:1-2 (NKJV)7. “But like men they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me.8. Gilead [is] a city of evildoers, [And] defiled with blood.9. As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man, [So] the company of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they commit lewdness.10. I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: There [is] the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
11. Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, When I return the captives of My people.7:1. “When I would have healed Israel, Then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, And the wickedness of Samaria. For they have committed fraud; A thief comes in; A band of robbers takes spoil outside.
2. They do not consider in their hearts [That] I remember all their wickedness; Now their own deeds have surrounded them; They are before My face.

THE MESSAGE:The spate of wickedness and corruption found among both priests and people (6:8-10) was described by the Lord as horrible. How often has the Lord seen horrible practices in our families, businesses, gatherings and ceremonies? How often have we infringed the covenant of the blood of His Son with utter disregard and disdain?
The Lord, being righteous and just, moved against His own people. Yes, their own doings beset them about (7:2). However, it is important to note that the Lord also bears the attitude of restoration and healing (6:11), for as many as would turn from their evil ways. He is merciful and abounds in steadfast love if the wicked would forsake his ways and the unrighteous his thoughts (Isaiah 55:7).
The new covenant of the blood of Jesus is one we should treat with utmost honour and respect; else we move God against us (Hebrews 10:29-30). Obedience to the words of the covenant bring blessings, while the opposite brings curses. The choice is always ours.
PRAYER: Dear Father, please grant me true humility and obedience in all my endeavours with You. Amen
