WHEN HEAVEN COOPERATES
WITH YOU
Memorise: The LORD shall
open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in
his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto
many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:12
Read: Deuteronomy 28:11-12, 11 And the Lord shall
make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy
cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware
unto thy fathers to give thee.
12 The Lord shall
open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in
his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto
many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Bible in one year: Numbers
4:1-5:10, 2nd Corinthians 1:1-11
MESSAGE!
Without a doubt, God wants all his children blessed (Psalm 35:27). Let us examine some of the markers by
which you can recognise a life that is blessed. First of these is that when you
are blessed, you will receive help from Heaven. For example, one of the marks
of a blessed life in Deuteronomy 28:12 is that
you will receive rain in due season to bless the work of your hands. If you ask
a farmer about the relevance of rain to his crops, he will tell you that the
greatest thing he prays for is that rain would fall at the right time after he
has planted his seeds. If it falls too early, the crops could be destroyed, and
if it fails to fall when it should, it will affect the crop yield badly. I pray
that heaven will give rain to water your land this season in Jesus’ Name.
Also, when a man is blessed, even the sun and the moon will cooperate
with him. While Joshua was in a crucial battle and the sun was about to set, he
lifted his eyes to heaven and said, “Sun, stay where you are; and moon, don’t
move until my assignment is done.” The elements of the firmament has no choice
but to obey him because he was blessed of God (Joshua
10:12-24). Similarly, after God decided to add 15 more years to
Hezekiah’s life, He told him to ask for a sign. Hezekiah asked that the sun
should go back and it was so (2nd Kings
20:1-11). When you are blessed, even the heavenly bodies will cooperate
with you.
Many years ago, when we started a Bible Study meeting at the University of Ibadan
(South West Nigeria ), only five of us flagged
it off, in the house of one of our elders – Professor Aboaba. The attendance
later grew, and more professors kept joining until the living room could no
longer accommodate us, and so we moved to the backyard. While we were taking
our seats to begin the Bible Study meeting on a certain day, it began to rain.
The professors wanted to take to their heels, but I lifted my hand and said,
“Rain, you cannot fall now.” On that day, it rained everywhere else in the
University except for Professor Aboaba’s residence. If there is one thing you
need in life, it is to be blessed by God. When God blesses you, every element
of heaven will favour you.
Prayer point
Father, let every element
You have created combine forces to give me a smooth ride unto the destiny You
have created for me.
