Relationship Series 3: A Cry for Freedom from the Repercussion of Blood Covenant.

They were young and very much in love. The future without each other looks blank. They couldn't bear imaging one with the other not being in it and then the idea stroke. Yes! They've heard about the blood covenant, even watched it in the movie and so with so much desire to stay together, he got a razor blade, cut their fingers, touched it together and vowed to never part. If anyone choose to live, it must be a mutual agreement and they licked the blood off each other fingers.
 
Years later, she has had children for him with no dowry payment and care for her and his children.  She practically begs to feed. He on the other hand has chosen not to let her go either. Even if she's allowed to walk, where will she go with the children? she scarified for him to be educated, secured with the fact, they've vowed never to part. But today; instead of being in love, she's in bondage with no rescue in the near future.  Unless, she finds a way to break the vow.

Family have reached out to help her and her children only on the condition if she lives the man. How does she say "no, I can't because we had a blood covenant and now he blames me for his misfortune in life and refusing to let me go." The fear of the repercussion of what she's has gotten into won't let her walk away. She can't imagine living her children to suffer without her. Good or bad times, she wants to be there for them. The fear now is; to what extent does the blood covenant keep someone bound? Does it really work against the person that choose to work away? That have become questions that need urgent answer because this is someone reality and wishing to be rid of it for something better. And who knows someone may also be in such bad shape and wondering. Does blood covenant truly bind people together? And if yes; how do one break free when the other is reluctant?

I hope someone will come up with an answer that may help this lady in getting a better life for her family. As for me there's no covenant greater than the one we enter when we surrender our lives to God by accepting Jesus as our Lord and saviour. His blood watches away everything that's not in accordance with His will for your life (2 Corinthians 5:17);  Matthew 26:28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Shedding of blood got her there, Thank God the blood that speaketh better things was also shed on the cross, so take cover in the blood, let Him mediate for you. Hebrew 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel .
