Why Cut Covenant?
So , Why do people cut covenant?
1. For preservation
2. For business reasons
3. Because they love one another
David and Jonathon made a covenant together because they loved one another.
Let's look at it in 1 Samuel 20:16 - 17:
" So Jonathon made a covenant with the house of David , saying;
Let the Lord require it at the hand of David's enemies. '
And Jonathon caused David to swear again , because he loved him; for he
loved him as he loved his own soul. "
So now that we know why people cut covenant , let's begin to look
at how to cut a covenant. Today , we will begin to look at 8 steps
in
cutting a Blood Covenant.
8 STEPS IN CUTTING A BLOOD COVENANT ( Part 1 )
1. The Exchange of Garments ( What is mine is yours , and what is yours
is mine )
" Then Jonathon stripped himself of the robe that was upon him , and gave
it to David, and his garments, even to his sword , and to
his bow , and to his girdle."
( 1 Samuel 18:4 )
2. The Exchange of Weapons ( I will defend you even unto death )
" ….. Even unto his sword …… " ( 1 Samuel 18:4 )
3. The Exchange of Names ( Two become one )
" ( God speaking to Abram ) As for Me , behold My covenant is with thee,
and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram , but thy name shall be
called Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. "
( Genesis 17:4 - 5 )
Abram meant " Father of Altitude " or " Exalted Father. "
Abraham meant " Father of Multitudes."
And remember , as a child of God , you are the seed of Abraham!
