Deuteronomy 28:1
O Glory be to God for this revelation. I am super excited for the inspiration and leading of the Holy ghost to this divine wisdom and secret. I wouldn’t be wrong if I should say that you must have come across this portion of the Scriptures before now, so have I, but believe me, I have literary been shouting since last night when God led me to reading these verse. In fact, my Spirit man got so satisfied and I just thought it wise to share.
Christianity is not just a name of one of the religions in the world. It is a lifestyle. As such every lifestyle is influences by the environment. i.e, a lifestyle of a man could be formed by what he listens to, sees everyday or where he stays. In same vein, as Christians, there is a lifestyle that we must follow and apply so that we could succeed. Hence, failure to do so would lead us to failure, condemnation and death.
I would discuss about Christianity in another episode but let me stay focused on the topic of this message. Every Christian needs to succeed because God is not a failure no His son Jesus. Thus, Paul apostle in one of his episodes said to the church that “I wish above all things that that mayest prosper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
If we need to succeed, proper, break forth, expand and make exploit as Christians, then we need to apply simple principles which is recorded in Deuteronomy 28-1 “If thou word diligently harken to my my word, to observe and to do, I will make the prosperous in all things…..”
Ooooooooo Go…………d, labagadigaya, mashagadada, I’m already excited right now, the word is refreshed in my Spirit. Did you hear the word well? Perhaps you need to pick your own Bible and read any version, then for just two minutes, take a break and reflect on this. (Selah)
Did you feel anything? O Glory to God. I feel deeply excited in the Spirit. What a word! What a promise! What an opportunity to receive from the Father all we could ask for, hope for or ever imagined!
All this is enclosed in these three principles: Harkening (listen), Observing (see) and to doing (act, live it) For the purpose of time, let me expound on the first instruction or principle of success which we as Christians need to observe and follow it to the later.
If thou would harken diligently
The first word that captured my attention is the last sentence in that verse which reads- that the Lord thy God will set the on high above all nations of the earth: Glory, Hallelujah!
Did you see what I saw? God says that He Himself would set me, you and I as well as other Christian brethren,** high above all the nations of the earth.** I thought I could hear a loud amen. AMEEEEEEEEN Hey, I feel like shouting, there’s this prinking in my Spirit and its flows down my heart.
Hope you could catch this rhema, God says that I, Nsikak Ntuk would be high above all the nations of the earth. Please do not doubt the possibility cause I know that God can and will do it for me in Jesus name, amen.
At this point, let’s consider the life of Solomon, he was considered the wisest man on earth. Have you cared to ask why he was the wisest? Your answers is very close to mine but he listen and harken to God and God did not fail to lift him above all the nations that people heard about him and had to travel long distances to see things for themselves. 1 Kings 4:29-31.
So now that you know what God did for Solomon, if I should ask you, would you also trust God that he can do same for you and I? I mean, do you believe that God can set you high over all the Nations of the world? I don’t know what your answer is but mine is yes, yes and yes. I believe it with my whole heart.
Now that you’ve believed and have hope that God would pick you up from the grass to on high, far above all nations of the world that you know or do not know.
But this won’t come to pass if you keep doing what you’ve be doing, rebelling and being too busy for God. “God forbid, I’m not like that”, I could imagine you exclaiming, if you’re not, praise, God and I’m happy for you, but if you’re not yet repentant to accept Christ as your God and Saviour, then I think that that is just the first step to succeed.
If you would hear this would and repent, turn away from your old ways and make your path right with God, then I can assure you that you have taken the first step of harkening and as such, are cruising your way into eternity and riches in His Glory.
Sit tight, in my next post, I would concentrate on how and why Christians ought to listen to God.
PLEASE LET US PRAY
