Blessing
shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Deuteronomy 28:3
Read
Deuteronomy 28:1-2,
1 And it shall come to pass,
if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments
which I command thee this day, that the Lord
thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And
all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt
hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy
God.
KJV
MESSAGE
Jesus Christ
said; “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). In other words, there are abundant blessings in
the kingdom of God. It goes without saying that there is wisdom in seeking to
please God above all other ambitions. The Almighty God revealed the secret of
abundant blessings of His people in today’s scriptural reading; abundant
blessing is embedded in perfect obedience to the Word of God.
Many people
think that the moment they become Kingdom seekers, they will enter into a world
of penury. This is the deceit of the devil which has unfortunately been
believed through the ages. The devil has succeeded in making many people
believe that unless they serve him, they cannot make it in life. He even had
the audacity to attempt deceiving Jesus Christ during the temptations in the
wilderness, but our Lord defeated him (Luke 4:5-7).
Beloved,
I want to announce to you that there are abundant blessings in our Lord Jesus
Christ; my life is a living testimony of this.
Before I gave
my life to Christ, I used to borrow money from my own drive to fuel my car two
weeks into a new month. It was when I gave my life to Christ that I began to
know the true meaning of prosperity. Deuteronomy 8:18 says:
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is
he that giveth thee power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”
The Psalmist says
that unless the Lord builds a house, the builders build but in vain (Psalms 127:1). Paul, an apostle of
Jesus Christ also corroborates this when he wrote:
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the
increase. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that
watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”
1st Corinthians 3:6-7
May the
abundant blessing from the throne of God be your portion in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please let your
abundant blessings be my portion this season in Jesus’ name.
