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