What is a covenant ----Definition -----
A covenant is
a relationship between two partners who make binding promises to each other and work together to reach a common goal. They're often accompanied by oaths, signs, and ceremonies. Covenants define obligations and commitments, but they are different from a contract because they are relational and personal.
So People can enter into a Covenant with God -----as God has already made His promises available to us ----and as long as you have the right Faith in God and have received His Son as your Lord and saviour you have every right to enter into a personal Covenant with God -----now when you make a Covenant with God if you break the Covenant you will reap the consequences ----

There is not one mention of Jesus in the founding documents.
It hubristic to think men can make a covenant with God.

America’s Covenant with God
http://1607covenant.com/americas-covenant-with-god/
In 1607, the expedition led by Pastor Robert Hunt arrived in Virginia Beach. When they arrived in Virginia, the expedition dedicated our country to the glory of God. They planted a rough-hewn wooden cross, which they brought from England, in the sand and prayed:
We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains, and may this Land, along with England, be Evangelist to the World. May all who see this Cross, remember what we have done here, and may those who come here to inhabit join us in this Covenant and in this most noble work that the Holy Scriptures may be fulfilled.
I say ----
Israel entered into a Covenant with God ------when they said they would keep the laws ----God did not initiate this Covenant -----the People did ------God just gave the Israelits what they wanted which was rules to follow and gave them Blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience ----

Joshua chose to enter into covenant with God by taking a decision to serve the living God with his family, notwithstanding whether the entire Israelites decided otherwise. The Bible presents it thus in Joshua 24:15, And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua took a decision for his family to serve the Lord and God blessed him for that.

Israel makes a Covenant with God -------

B. The terms of the covenant.
1. (28-29) The making of the covenant with God.
Now the rest of the people; the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding; these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:
a.
Now the rest of the people: The 84 people mentioned previously sealed the covenant, but
the rest of the people – that is,
everyone who had knowledge and understanding – also made the covenant with God.
b.
Entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law: In making the covenant, they agreed to accept a curse from God if they did not obey His
Law. They accepted the curse as a form of His correction, to bring them back to obedience.
i. Many of us have done a similar thing. We probably didn’t pray “God, curse me if I disobey You.” But many of us have prayed, “Lord, whatever it takes I want to follow You. Whatever it takes I want to be Your man/woman.” That is essentially praying the same thing, and that is a good prayer.
c.
Their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding: They made this covenant publicly; though its most significant meaning was between the individual and God, it was also important that other people be witness to the covenant. A public covenant meant accountability.
