The first law given to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Aden was/is Obedience. Obedience remains a word which drives the harmony of all things which God created.
The planets are following their orbit, the stars do not wander, the seasons do not go rioting , the human systems are following their set complimentary roles.
If the above do not obey roles set up for them by God, there will be unbelievable crisis.
Two GREAT words of eternal value from God to man/Israel are in the following :
Read Deuteronomy 28:1 -2 and Deuteronomy 28 : 15 as follows :
28:1 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:
28:2 And all these BLESSINGS, shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
AND
28 :15
28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these CURSES shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: (Deut. 28 : 1 – 2 ,15).
The two great words in this Sermon are :
BLESSINGS FOR OBEDIENCE ;
and
CURSES FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
NOW NOTE THE SPECIFICS:
As Israel was returning to the promised land and at the boarders of Jordan God said to them through Moses :
Read the details as follows :28 : 1 – 15 :
verse 2 : these BLESSINGS shall follow you and overtake you if you obey the voice of the Lord thy God.
verse 3 : blessed shall thou be in the city and BLESSED in the field.
verse 4: BLESSED shall be the fruit of thy body, ground, thy cattle, increase in your flocks, sheep, and kine.
verse 5 : BLESSED shall be thy basket and store.
verse 6 : BLESSED shall you be when you come in or go out.
verse7 : enemies before you shall be smitten, they shall come one way and flee seven ways.
verse 8 :the Lord will command BLESSINGS upon you in thy house, all you set thy hand on He will bless.
verse 9: the Lord will establish you, as you obey and walk in His ways
vers 10 : all the earth shall know you are called in the name of the Lord and be afraid of you.
verse 11 : The Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, fruit of thy body, cattle, ground, in the land He sware to give thee.
verse 12 : the Lord will open unto thee His treasure, give you rain at its season you will lend to the nations and not borrow.
verse 13 : you will be head , not tail, you shall be above only not beneath, as you hearken and observe God’s word,
verse 14. you shall not go aside, His Words right or left to go after other gods; and
verse 15 : but if thou shall not hearken to the Lord thy God several CURSES are laid down.
(Deuteronomy 28 : 1 – 15).
What we read from verses (1) to (14) above, are a catalogue of promised BLESSINGS to obedient people, who walk in the Word of God.
To be obedient THEREFORE is like a man writing into a blank space in a cheque, where he is told to write down any amount he desires in the blank space.
To disobey is like cancelling the cheque and that is making it unusable again.
If we carefully read the above and are ready to apply obedience, shall we lack anything on earth? Think of this question.
God has given man all he needs in this material earth, but note that God did not speak directly about heaven in the promises stated in verses 3 to 14.
It is good to know from this message through God’s Word, that the central caveat is that all should shun idolatry. Idol worship is to serve satan and all less or grievious sins in this world run through the thread of idolatry.
Read Exodus 20 : 5 – 6.
Thus idolatry, is the centrepiece of disobedience to God.
A man who obeys God in this context has been obviously given assurance of the kingdom of heaven.
We must note that all these promised BLESSINGS are not given to the disobedient, but rather CURSES are lined up for such people.
EVERY MAN HAS A CHOICE.
What then shall we gain by being disodient which is sumned up as serving idols.
Let me tell us never to envy the rich people,who have much on earth, but do not obey God. All God promised to us above is that to obey Him and serve Him is like planting the tree of prosperity.
(Go to U-tube and watch or view my video in French/English ” Planter l’abre de la prosperite.” In English ” Planting the prosperity tree”.
My summary :
In this material world those who obey the philosophy of their employers, the government, kings in power, educational institutions or the industry, are likely going to find favour from them.
How then do we think, that God, who owns all human institutions, will not be more magnanimous than them?
My Meditation :
As I ponder in my heart about all the promises of God to the obedient, I begin to see how much God loves me. It cannot be different to you.
THEREFORE, IF I OBEY GOD I WILL BE A BUNCH OF MYSTERY.
Even the most benevolent has not on this material earth, given their employees all they desrve for their hard work. BUT GOD GIVES ALL.
Prayer:
Lord, I want to obey you. Give me a discerning spirit, so I can select all to do to obey You always, in Jesus name Amen.
