Open Heaven Devotional 26th December 2023 MESSAGE:
A blessing is a manifestation of all the forces in heaven, on earth and under the earth helping someone. When God blesses someone, everything – family, career, finance and so on will be working well for that fellow. If you really want God to bless you, you need to know how to attract His blessings. Psalm 115:3 says God is sovereign, He does as He pleases. He can bless anybody He wants; He can bless the younger more than the elder, He is God.
In our memory verse for today, the word of God made it clear: “And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God”.
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 says further:
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
The choice you make between living holy and committing sin determines what you attract to your life – whether blessings or curses. If you live holy, you would attract God’s blessings, if you choose to live in sin, you would attract curses. Which one will you choose?
Blessings don’t come without a cause. In Genesis 27:1-4, Isaac told Esau to prepare a very nice meal that would satisfy him, so that he could bless the boy before dying. Though it was Esau that was to be blessed, Jacob who brought the meal first, got the blessing. He provoked the blessing upon himself by doing something to please his father. If you want God to bless you, do His will and please Him always. To achieve this, you must live a life of holiness. If you refuse to live holy, forget about attracting the blessings of God.
Don’t mistake just having money for divine blessings. A truly blessed man has all round peace and prosperity.
KEY POINT:
Holiness attracts God’s blessings.
