Text: Deuteronomy 28:1-2
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
In the physical realm there are many scientific laws and theories. These are universal principles that work under specified conditions. If those conditions are not fulfilled the laws may fail to work.
For example there is a physical law that states that the extension or compression of a spring is directly proportional to the applied force as long as the limit of elasticity is not exceeded. Once the limit of elasticity is exceeded the law fails to work.
The word of God cannot fail, it is man that fail to fulfill the conditions necessary. Today’s text says, “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God” Deuteronomy 28:1-2
God is no respecter of persons but in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted by him- Acts 10:34-35 .What he has done for others he will do for you. He is faithful to his word. He constantly watches over his word to bring it to pass.
His word says, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this, Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts;
“And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the Lord of hosts”- Malachi 3:10-12.
If there are any issues that make it appear as if the word of God isn’t working, look inwards and check your obedience level. Ensure that you have fulfilled your own part of the deal.
His Word is his covenant and covenants have terms and conditions. He is a covenant keeping God. Just make sure you do your own part of the deal and watch God rain his avalanche of blessings on you.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please empower me with supernatural grace to always carefully fulfill the terms and conditions of your covenant in Jesus name.
