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. 1 Samuel 2:30
Read: Deuteronomy 28:1-6
28:1 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:
28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee,
and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the
voice of the LORD thy God.
28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed
shalt thou be in the field.
28:4 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.
28:5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in,
and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
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 the blessings of
God 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 blessings 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 to 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.
