Topic: Principles of Divine Blessing
[Tuesday 30, August 2016]
Memorise: Wherefore the LORD God of
Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house,
and the house of thy father, should walk
before me for ever: but now the LORD
saith, Be it far from me; for them that
honour me I will honour, and they that
despise me shall be lightly esteemed. – 1Samuel 2:30
Read: Deuteronomy 28:1-6 (KJV)
Bible passage below
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.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and
blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body,
and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of
thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the
flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy
store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou
comest in, and blessed shalt thou be
when thou goest out.
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 5:14-7:29, Psalms 44:17-26
MESSAGE:
If you want to command the blessings of
God, you must be willing to pay the price.
If you want the kind of blessing that does
not have any form of sorrow, you must be
willing to obey the instructions of God. If
you want the kind of blessing that is no
respecter of seasons, you must be willing
to live a holy life. This means it is very
possible for you to enjoy God’s blessing
all the days of your life; however, there
are principles that command this
blessing. When you follow and honour
God, you have no fear of tomorrow. There
are many people who are worried about
what their tomorrow looks like. They don’t
know what will happen next. For those
who are living holy, they know their
tomorrow will be alright as promised by
God in His Word, they know they will
prosper. This is automatic for them
because the Word of God says:
“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat
the good of the land:” - Isaiah 1:19
If you are living a holy life, God will
supply all your needs. There are many
people who are blessed but they have no
peace. For those who walk in the path of
God, He blesses them and adds peace to
their blessing.
“Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be
well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of
their doings.” - Isaiah 3:10
If you want a glorious promotion, you
must live a holy life. The Almighty God is
no respecter of persons. He will never
bend His standards. He is very strict and
perfect. It is the blessing of God that takes
an individual to the top. The moment you
choose to live by His standards, God will
lift you up on high. If you do not live holy,
you will always see yourself falling down.
Those who are down always suffer but
when you are on top, the Lord will bless
you greatly. This is why you have to make
up your mind to pay the price of
consecration. The knowledge of God
produces material and financial
blessings. The moment you honour God
with your life, you will have access to the
good things of life. You will attract
blessings from all parts of the world and
He will give you the wisdom to keep the
blessings. Obedience brings blessings; if
you are obedient you will have victory in
every aspect of life. You will have access
to the fullness of God’s provision. Only
those who walk in the principles of God
can command the blessing of God. He fed
the Israelites for 40 years in the
wilderness without them working for one
day. The blessings of the Almighty God
are inexhaustible. When you distance
yourself from the principle of tithing, the
blessings of God will always be distant
from you. There is no blessing for the
wicked unless the wicked repents and
comes to Jesus. Fools are those who
know the consequences of something and
still go into it. They know that the wages
of sin is death and still continue in sin.
Divine blessings come to those who keep
the commandments of God. They enjoy
good success and prosperity. The
moment you begin to walk in the
principles of God, everything you touch
becomes blessed. It is obedience to the
Word of God that attracts blessings into
one’s life.
Key point: It pays to follow God.
