Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of Deuteronomy 5:33, “Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.”
From the above context we learn clearly that if we obey the commandments of God we will live and prosper and prolong our days upon the face of this earth. Our God is a God of promise and if He has promised then He will fulfil His promise. God’s Word is filled with promises from our Creator to provide and deliver. The Word of God is the ultimate source for truth and God is faithful to fulfil all His promises. As you read this message claim this particular promise over your life! Freedom from addictions, deliverance from sin and evil, financial provision, hope for lost and hurting family and friends, overcoming depression, recovering a marriage, good health, healing, being free from fear and anxiety, strength, and many more are the blessings and gifts that God promises to provide for those who believe in Him and obey His commandments.
Now a days we see many seeking jobs in many part of the country, because job opportunities are unavailable and many youngsters are terribly disappointed because they are unable to secure jobs as soon as they complete their studies. But to those who obey God’s commandments, God assures that He will cause them to live and do well in the land that they go to possess their jobs.
Our God is faithful. He says what He does, what He says. To live and do well in life one must secure a good job in the new place. Only then can one live in peace and harmony. God says “I will create means of living for my children.”God keeps His promise. He led the people of Israel from Egypt to the land of Canaan as He had promised. He never forsook them midway. He provided Manna heavenly food from above. He changed bitter waters of Marah to sweet water and provided quails delicious meat for them in the wilderness.
Nothing is too hard for the Lord. He is a God who cares for His children. He preserves the faithful. God expects you to live, do well and prolong your days in the land which you go to possess. This is His plan for you. All you need to do is to keep his command. God never gave a commandment to man which he did not design that he should obey. God expects man to live, that he may enjoy life, and when one obeys God’s word , God says, that it may be well with you and good shall be to you – God will prosper you in all things essential to the welfare of your bodies, and the salvation of your souls. God also prolongs your days, in the land, that you may live a good old age, for the inheritance among the saints in light.
You should not avoid or depart, from any consideration whatever it might be. The Bible says, “Lord I shall not be ashamed when I look into all your commandments.” We see this in the life of Zacharias and Elizabeth. The Bible says, they were both righteous, before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. So God blessed them with a gift of a child in their old age. So all was well with them. And they enjoyed long years of life.
Sometimes, everything becomes a failure and your life becomes a question, then people turn to God for deliverance. They may be people from any religion. When all hope is lost they will stretch out their hands towards heaven indicating that God alone should help in such difficult circumstances. Especially doctors while treating patients try their best to save them but when they lose hope, then they too say only “’God can save.” If you live according to the commandment of God, then you have security of life, security of job, security of finance, etc. The only person who can give life security is Jesus Christ. Therefore cling to Him for all your needs. Our God is a prayer answering God .
Prayer: Our Loving heavenly Father, we thank you for this blessed day. Lord help us to live and do well in life, and to prolong our days in the land we go to possess. Help us to keep your commandments. Teach us to depend on the Lord Jesus Christ for all our needs. Help us to walk in the ways of God, in all circumstances like Zacharias and Elizabeth. Never to lose hope, but always trust in the Lord.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
