Open Heaven 5 September 2022 TOPIC: The Blessing of God
MEMORISE: Even by the God of thy
father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with
blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of
the breasts, and of the womb: Genesis 49:25
READ: DEUTERONOMY 28:1-14 (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:
14. And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

MESSAGE:
“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22”
When the Lord blesses the work of your hands, you will not only have great
wealth, it will come with peace of mind. Wealth that comes from scheming and
plotting against people will bring all sorts of trouble along with it.

September 2022 – Be Not Conformed
Haman was a rich man; in fact, he was second-in command to the King, yet,
he was jealous and envious of Mordecai who was far below his rank (Esther
3:1-5). Do you want to enjoy great wealth as well as peace of mind? Seek the
blessing of the Lord. How does this blessing of the Lord come?
Deuteronomy 28:1 tell us: “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.”
The blessing of the Lord comes through hearkening to the voice of God and
then observing to do all His commandments. First, you must pay very close
attention to His word, and then you must do exactly what He says. It is that
simple.
When the widow of Zarephath came into great wealth, it was because the
Prophet gave her specific instructions and she obeyed them all, just as he
directed her.
There was a man who was a manager in his place of work and he kept asking
God, For how long am I going to be an employee? Please prosper me greatly so I
can also be an employer of labour. God told him to begin to roast and sell
peanuts coated with honey. He obeyed. The last time I heard about him, he
already had two private jets.
Sometimes, to get these specific instructions from God, you need to cry to
Him in prayer as the widow did to Elisha. In the meantime, obey all the
instructions you have read in the Bible.
He said if you bring your tithe into His storehouse, then you will get a
blessing so large that your present bank account will not be able to contain it
hearken. He said that if you sow bountifully, you will reap bountifully
hearken. Hearken diligently to His word and see if He will not bless you
tremendously.
Open Heaven 5 September 2022 Prayer Point:
Father, please tell me what I must do to succeed; reveal to me the hidden
wealth of secret places and I promise that I will hearken and do according to
Your word.

HYMN: WILL YOUR ANCHOR HOLD IN THE STORMS
OF LIFE
1. Will your anchor hold in the storms of life
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
CHORUS:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour’s love!
2. It is safely moored, ’twill the storm withstand,
For ’tis well secured by the Saviour’s hand,
And the cables, passed from His heart to mine,
Can defy the blast through strength divine.
3. It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is near;
Though the tempest rage and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o’erflow.
4. It will surely hold in the flood of death,
When the waters cold, chill our latest breath,
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil!
5. When our eyes behold, through the gathering night
The city of gold, our harbour bright,
We shall anchor fast by the heavenly shore,
With the storms all past for evermore.
