Memorise: If ye be willing and
obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: – Isaiah 1:19
Read: Deuteronomy 28:1-13
(KJV)
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:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,
if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be
in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy
ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks
of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt
thou be when thou goest out.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee
to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and
flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy
storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless
thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as
he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy
God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by
the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
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.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

Heaven 4 February 2021 MESSAGE:
Many people do not get the benefits God has promised in His word
simply because they do not follow the instructions attached to those benefits.
My mathematics background has made it easy for me to understand this scriptural
principle. In mathematics, there are always conditions to be fulfilled to solve
certain problems. It is the same in the kingdom of God; if you want the
blessings, you must first fulfil the conditions.

Believer For Show?
Today’s memory verse did not just say “if you are willing”, it
says you must also be obedient to eat the good of the land. I have been invited
to Ministries where the Holy Communion is served in the morning or afternoon
and I always politely decline from partaking. The Bible says it is the Lord’s
Supper, not the Lord’s Breakfast or Lunch. It is very clear; the Communion is
to be taken in the evening if you would get the benefits attached.

Some other people also say they have not been getting the
benefits of paying tithes as promised in the Bible. Malachi 3:10 says:
“Bring ye ALL the tithes into the storehouse…”
The Scripture says ALL, not some; it also says you are to bring
the tithes to His storehouse. If you take it anywhere else or do not bring ALL,
you should not expect the benefits meant for faithful tithers.
My Father-in-the Lord once gave this analogy back in the day
when the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) was in charge of electricity
distribution in Nigeria. He asked “If you find a NEPA pole fallen by the road
as you are going to pay your electricity bill, and you decide to use the money
meant to settle the bill to fund the repair, would you get a bill waiver at the
NEPA office simply because you have used your money to erect their pole?” No,
you would still be billed because the instruction is clear: you are to pay your
bills into a designated account!
Beloved, when you see a blessing in the Bible that you want to
claim, check thoroughly for all the conditions attached to it. Fulfil the
conditions and then you can enjoy the blessing.
Open Heaven 4 February 2021 Action Point:
Make
up your mind to always obey God’s commands, if you want His blessings.

Heaven 4 February 2021 Hymn 8: Ho! My Comrades, See The Signal
1. Ho! my comrades! see the signal,
Waving in the sky!
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory in nigh!
Refrain:
“Hold
the fort, for I am coming,”
Jesus signals still,
Wave the answer back to heaven,
“By Thy grace we will.”
2. See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on;
Mighty men around us falling,
Courage almost gone.
3. See the glorious banner waving,
Hear the trumpet blow;
In our Leader’s Name we triumph
Over every foe.
4. Fierce and long the battle rages,
But our help is near;
Onward comes our great commander,
Cheer, my comrades, cheer!
