God Promises Blessings

"...for Jehovah your God will bless you in all your produce and in all your undertakings; therefore you shall be nothing but joyful". Deuteronomy 16:15b

The Lord's fresh speaking was so strong last Saturday in my time with Him. He promised me a word of promise again "...for Jehovah your God will bless you in all your produce and in all your undertakings; therefore you shall be nothing but joyful". Immediately I messaged to many contacts and the reply was a word of thanks for the Lord's speaking of blessing. The word is ever fresh and living and the Lord keeps speaking...

This same verse was so much anointed of the Lord when I pray-read with the serving ones in the distribution and also in our vital small group. The more we pray-read, the more the verse became real to us, and the more our faith grew. Even last night, this verse was pray-read over again and again for quite sometime and nourished us so much in our prayer and fellowship. Though the outward real situation seem not very promising and bright, the Lord's word broke through the darkness and gave us bright hope and strong faith. Hallelujah!

God's blessings are not limited; He blesses and blesses richly according to His riches, and He always blesses. But there are conditions to receiving God's blessings. God's love, for sure, is unconditional, but His blessings are conditional, even though He is a God of blessings and wants to bless His children. As revealed especially in the book of Deuteronomy, His blessings comes with conditions. The two most prominent conditions are obedience to His words and faithfulness to Him. Without these two conditions being met, the God of blessings cannot bless. No wonder many children of the God today lives in poverty of God's blessing. The sure reason is, somehow, somewhere there must have been disobedience to the Lord's word and His speaking and leading, or unfaithfulness to Him in some matters. Once these holes are mend, the Lord's blessings will be spontaneous. By this I in no way mean to imply physical blessings solely. For God's blessings are discerned and realised spiritually. What the world reckons as blessings may be curses to God; and what the world reckons as curses may be blessings to God. And all God's blessings always leads to "joyfulness", a sure undeniable sign. 

God's blessings in all your produce! Whatever comes out of us is a blessing; our living, our expression, our family and our children. All these are blessings and will be blessings too. God's blessings in all your undertakings! Whatever we do, whomever we meet, wherever we are, there will be blessings, in fact, there are or at least must have been. This is the promise of God. Amen.

And finally, "you shall be nothing but joyful". The issue of being being by God is always joyfulness. Joy is God, and in God we are joyful! What a blessing to receive this promise of blessings!

Lord grace me to experience and enjoy all these promises of blessings all the days of my life, and may it multiply to all whom You brought me to contact with.
