Yesterday’s topic
was "THE PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED" while today’s message is
titled "SECRETS OF OVERWHELMING BLESSINGS" as given
by Pastor E. A Adeboye in Open Heavens Devotional (Adeboye, 2014). In today’s
message, we have been asked to memorise Deuteronomy 28:1: “And
it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee
this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the
earth” and read Proverbs 11:24-25. Our Bible in one
year reading for today is taken from 1 Peter 1-4 and Psalm 28 (Adeboye, 2014).
Today’s message is
quoted below for our usual discussion. God bless Daddy GO and God bless every
one of us as we reflect on the message.
“God wants you to
have overwhelming ‘blessings; blessings that you will have and you Will say it
is enough. Having such blessings - t e type that God gives, depends on what you
hear and on what you see. Also, to be overwhelmingly blessed depends on how you
go about acting on what you hear and see. Hearing well, seeing well and doing
what you hear and see well depends on God. It is He alone who can give the
grace to hear, see and do well. This is why it is very important and urgent too
for whosoever wants God's type of blessing which does not include sorrow to be
born of God (John 3:3). Indeed God wants you to be the head and not the tail.
He wants you to be above the principalities of poverty and all forms of
suffering that come with it. In 3 John 2 He said: ”Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth
.” It took a long time before some people accepted the truth that God is
interested in the prosperity of His children. Many still have not come across
or accepted this truth even today.
There are several
people today that God wants to bless, but they are not yet ready for the
blessing because they have not heard the correct teaching concerning godly
blessings as clearly written in Deuteronomy 28. This is just like many people
today, who ordinarily would have loved to live holy lives, but because they
hear all the time that it does not matter how they live their lives, that once
they are born-again they are on their way to heaven, they live a lifestyle that
has shipwrecked their faith. What this people are hearing is determining their
destination after this life. Beloved, if you have been taught that tithing is
an Old Testament practice and you ignore the commandment of God in Malachi
3:10, then you have sentenced yourself to perpetual penury. Know that the
condition for God's blessing is diligent obedience to biblical instructions as
His eternal truth for all ages. This is why you must hear well and see well in
order to do well for God to open His treasury of blessings upon you. This is why
every child of God must make sure he or she fellowships in a Bible believing
Christian assembly where they will be taught to practice godliness without
compromise. My prayer for you is that the truth that will take you to your next
level of prosperity will be unfolded to you in Jesus’ Name.” (Adeboye, 2014)
Our prayer
point for today is that God should please open our eyes and
ears to the secrets of overwhelming blessings in His word and help us to be
diligent enough to do accordingly in Jesus Name.
I pray that the
Almighty God will open my eyes, and the eyes of everyone that read today’s
devotional to see the needed secret that will transform us to a greater height
in Jesus name.
