In a deed, a grantee may agree to do something or refrain from doing certain acts. This agreement will become a binding contract between the grantor and the grantee. An example would be an agreement to maintain fences on the property or that the property will only be used for residential purposes. This kind of covenant is binding, not only between the grantor and the grantee, but also runs with the land. This means that anyone acquiring the land from the grantee is also bound by the covenant of the grantee. A covenant that provides that the grantee will refrain from certain conduct is called a restrictive or protective covenant. For example, there may be a covenant that no mobile home shall be placed on the property.
A restrictive or protective covenant may limit the kind of structure that can be placed on the property and may also restrict the use that can be made of the land. For example, when a tract of land is developed for individual lots and homes to be built, it is common to use the same restrictive covenants in all of the deeds in order to cause uniform restrictions and patterns on the property. For example, the developer may provide that no home may be built under a certain number of square feet. Any person acquiring a lot within the tract will be bound by the restrictions if they are placed in the deed or a prior recorded deed. Also, these restrictive covenants may be placed in a document at the outset of the development entitled "Restrictive Covenants," and list all the restrictive covenants that will apply to the tracts of land being developed. Any subsequent deed can then refer back to the book and page number where these restrictive covenants are recorded. Any person owning one of the lots in the tract may bring suit against another lot owner to enforce the restrictive covenants. However, restrictive covenants may be abandoned or not enforceable by estoppel if the restrictive covenants are violated openly for a sufficient period of time in order for a Court to declare that the restriction has been abandoned.

FAQ
We all sin, whether it's in words, deeds, or thoughts, but when the Spirit of God brings our sins to our thoughts, we need to repent immediately and turn away from the sin. Walking uprightly before God will bring an agreement; the individual is agreeing with God's word to live by them.
Learn to not only stand firmly on the promises of God but make a demand on them and expect them to happen.

We come to a point where we know that God is all-powerful and when He says He will do something He actually does it regardless of the resistance we may face from other people.
This passage refers to one specific practice of Bible times. In order to confirm a covenant, two parties would a calf and cut it into two pieces. Then, they would pass together between the two parts of the dead animal as a solemn sign of both parties that they fully agreed to the terms of the covenant.
A proper “covenant relationship” with God requires five major experiences: 1) Faith, faith in Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. 2) Repentance of sins. 3) Confession of sins. 4) Baptism and 5) Obedience, effective operation of all of these means genuine conversion.

We must get in agreement with Him and speak words of life over our situation: “By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed. I take authority over this virus in the name of Jesus! I hold the blood of Jesus over myself and over my family. Lord, I confess before You that You are our Shield!”
Within the gospel, a covenant means a sacred agreement or mutual promise between God and a person or a group of people. In making a covenant, God promises a blessing for obedience to particular commandments.
It doesn't matter how many enemies Israel has, or how people feel about her, Israel is God's covenant nation. In other words, God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and God isn't going to break that covenant. It is a great covenant that God gave.
