Covenants are made overtime. Covenants are made based on agreement and this is done when modalities have been studied, terms understood and agreed upon, the impact and implication and fruits are realised within the contents of the agreement. Every covenant has its outcome, everyone that goes into covenant believes based on the term of the agreement, that the outcome would come out if those involved follow the details of the covenant document. So also, in the prayer field, psalm 105 states clearly the effects that prayer had in contracting covenant and the effects of it. Let the hearts of those who rejoice seek the Lord psalm 105 vs 3-4, David here reviewed the processes that the patriarches of Israel went through to contract covenant that has aided the children of Israel psalm 105 vs 5-11.
Covenants require price and promise; price - the realisation of the covenant. In covenant the decision time may be the simplest because it lays in your discretion but its outcome may not be under your control. When covenants are broken the consequences follow but when they are followed to the latter the outcome will be realised, the price here is the discipline of holy living, the diligence in prayer styles and sacrifices. Daniel paid the price of praying when it was decreed that no one should pray to any other God and reveal the future Daniel 16 vs 1-15. Esther paid the price when she decided to fast and pray in expectation of help Esther.
Promise is another issue that attracts covenant, every covenant has a promise or promises attached to it. The promise makes it attractive psalm 105 vs 11, heb 7 vs 7, the greater promises Gen 28 vs 15, and the lesser makes the promise bidding by pledging allegiance to the contents of the promise. Gen 28 vs 18- 22. God made promises to Jacob and Jacob vowed to God based on the contents of God’s promises to him. The Lord made promises to Abram in Genesis 17 vs 1- 14, he also made a covenant with Manoah and his wife concerning their seed Samson before he was born that he should remain a Nazirite unto God for as long as he lives in order to sustain the power of God in his life. Judges 13 vs 1- 25.
Covenant prayers precipitates promises based on strong points to be accomplished and the promises hangs between two points, two critical elements;the price - our part we should play and what we are to gain in the path ;the prize – when God desires great things to be accomplished he stakes a promise to it based on covenant and it is made more bidding when the man involved goes the extra mile for the price through diligence in prayer, watching the promises and adhering to his part of the covenant. The covenant becomes a law in the spiritual realm, after much long waiting on God the effects begin to speak in field on which the person has prevailed , here, the person ceases to struggle to fulfil the purpose, rather he launches into the realm of receiving without struggling again.
The covenant gives assurance to divine providence on the specialised field. It could be the prophetic field like that of Elijah 2 kings 18 vs 1. It could be on the kingly grace like that of David. It could be on the priestly grace like that of the house of Levi. It could be in terms of power like that of Samson. It could be in terms of favour like that of Jacob.
The level of covenant in prayer had high degree of grace that makes the one who contracts it look different like a specialist Hebrew 1 vs 9. The covenant makes him to inherit in display of the products, those who knew and everyone who sees it wonders on the special endowments upon him.
Prayer her boosts the covenant, freshens its lustre aids in the display of the grace of its affluence and keeps the confidence of the price of the anointing realised and witnessed by all.
