You are blessed! [July 1,2022 ]
You are blessed!
Deuteronomy 28:2-13
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city and blessed shalt thou be in the field….
Deuteronomy 28:1-13 assures us that, we can receive many blessings from God by being obedient to His words and commands.
Many struggle with obeying God’s commands because it is easier to follow our own desires instead of obeying God’s word.
The Apostle Paul says he puts his body under subjection, lest he may be disqualified after preaching to many and leading them to repentance. (1 Corinthians 9:27)
The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and added no sorrow so let’s learn from the Apostle Paul to put our bodies under subjection in order to obey the commands of the Lord.
Matthew 5:11-12
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of things against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad : for great is your reward in heaven…..
This verse from the new testament encourages us not to grieve over the rejection, persecution and false accusations we receive as ambassadors for Christ, rather we should rejoice because great is our reward in heaven. You are blessed
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Pray for grace to be able to obey God’s commands no matter what it costs

Meditate on the words of this hymn
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His goodwill
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Amen
