ABUNDANT BLESSINGS
Memorise: Blessing shalt thou be in the city, and blessed
shalt thou be in the field.
Deuteronomy 28:3
Read: Deuteronomy 28:1-2,
28 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.
Bible in one year: 2nd Samuel 12-13, Proverbs 11:18-31
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.
