Blessings on Obedience

I Am a Hearer and Doer

Deut 28:1-14

²² But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. ²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; James 1:22-23

Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
² But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
³ He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.  Ps1:1-3

⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

28 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

³ “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

⁴ “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

⁵ “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

⁶ “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

⁷ “The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

⁸ “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

⁹ “The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. ¹⁰ Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. ¹¹ And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. ¹² The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. ¹³ And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. ¹⁴ So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Isa60

Heavenly Father,

 I thank You for the privilege to hear Your Word, meditate on Your Word and to cherish its wisdom. Truly Your Word is spirit and life and it is the truth, dynamic, living, powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword.  Indeed the entrance of Your word brings light and life. I hear Your word to do it, to put it to work in my life. I work out Your word daily in all my affairs. Thank You, King of Glory, that You confirm Your Word with signs following.

As I hear and do Your Word, nothing shall be impossible to me. Every limitation is removed from my path. I go from strength to strength and from glory to glory as an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ. Abundant life is mine. Wherever I go I shine as your beacon, glorifying You in all I do.  I am a Solution Centre in my community, nation and generation. I leave and indelible mark to Your glory wherever I go. I blow Your trumpet and fly Your flag.

Thank You Lord, for blessing me to be a blessing. I am Your conduit for blessing. And as I bless others, I have multiplied harvest. I am like a palm tree with multiplicity of uses. My river does not run dry. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water that yields its fruit in due season. Whatever I do prospers.

I will enlarge the place of my dwelling, stretch out, take risks, trusting in You to guide my business and investment decisions. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. You will guide me with your eyes and instruct me in the way I should go. I will hear a voice saying to me, “This is the way, walk in it.”

Thank You, King of Kings, that You have made me a trend-setter, Market Leader, innovator and inventor. You have opened my eyes to see beyond the natural. I see hidden riches in secret places and treasure of darkness are mine.

Thank You for giving me Your good treasure and making me the head and not the tail, a lender and not a borrower. As light of the world, I shine wherever I go. I give direction and illumination and beauty in my world, reflecting You. As a city on a hill, I stand out for good reasons. As salt of the earth, I am a preservative and medicinal to my environment. Truly, men will see my good works and give You glory, honour and praise.

Those come against me in one way, will flee in seven ways because You are my Rock, my Fortress, my Shield, Shelter and Shepherd. Thank You for your angels round about me, on assignment on my behalf.

I give glory, honour and praise for Your goodness, faithfulness and loving-kindness and presence, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
