Daily Fountain Devotional 23 May 2026 TOPIC: The Covenant-Keeping God
SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 9:1-19
A covenant is an agreement between two parties. God was pleased with the burnt offerings Noah offered, as we read in Genesis 8:30-21. Through this offering, God blessed Noah and his family to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. God placed His fear upon every beast of the earth in the extension of God’s love towards Noah, that is, God decided to make a covenant with him and his generation and, by extension, all living creatures. This is a covenant of divine protection and divine fruitfulness: God promised not to wipe away with flood any longer. He made a token of the covenant by setting the rainbow in the cloud.
The faithfulness of God can be seen today. The rainbow has been seen by countless generations after Noah, even till today. You are precious before God; for you were made in His image. His covenant of peace, fruitfulness and abundant blessings, remain forever. However, for these covenants to be activated, God expects total obedience, giving honour to his words and a heart of gratitude through giving. Keep a good relationship with Him, and you will enjoy the fulfilment of his covenants with your life.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Lord, please help me to walk under your covenant of preservation and fruitfulness. Amen.
