Good morning ☀️
I’m reading Deuteronomy 28. The first 14 verses promise BLESSINGS for obedience and the remaining 53 verses describe CURSES for disobedience. Prosperity preachers focus on the blessings and rarely mention the curses. We would do well to read and meditate on the entire chapter.
Let’s start our day with some of the blessings realizing they are conditional.
“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: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.”
We seem to be living through the curses right now. #pray #Christian #Israel #America Human ingenuity will not solve the world’s problems.
Don’t live your life in fear of men.
We must be willing to stand on biblical principles even if it costs us our lives.
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Matthew 16: 24-28 (NIV).
Greetings 👋
The entire Bible, Old and New Testament, is for our instruction, encouragement, and edification.
“But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.”
Isaiah 43: 1-4 (NIV).
Do you find comfort in these promises? I do! He gets into the fire 🔥 with us.
