THE WORD FOR TODAY TUESDAY 2ND OF APRIL@JOGM HOME FELLOWSHIP
TOPIC: AN OBEDIENT HEART.
MEMORY VERSE:
Isaiah 1:19 If you will only obey me, you will eat the good things the land produces.
BIBLE TEXT:
Deuteronomy 30:6 The Lord your God will give you and your descendants obedient hearts, so that you will love him with all your heart, and you will continue to live in that land.
Deuteronomy 30:7 He will turn all these curses against your enemies, who hated you and oppressed you,
Deuteronomy 30:8 and you will again obey him and keep all his commands that I am giving you today.
Deuteronomy 30:9 The Lord will make you prosperous in all that you do; you will have many children and a lot of livestock, and your fields will produce abundant crops. He will be as glad to make you prosperous as he was to make your ancestors prosperous,
Deuteronomy 30:10 but you will have to obey him and keep all his laws that are written in this book of his teachings. You will have to turn to him with all your heart.
Deuteronomy 30:11 “The command that I am giving you today is not too difficult or beyond your reach.
Deuteronomy 30:12 It is not up in the sky. You do not have to ask, ‘Who will go up and bring it down for us, so that we can hear it and obey it?’
Deuteronomy 30:13 Nor is it on the other side of the ocean. You do not have to ask, ‘Who will go across the ocean and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’
Deuteronomy 30:14 No, it is here with you. You know it and can quote it, so now obey it.
Deuteronomy 30:15 “Today I am giving you a choice between good and evil, between life and death.
Deuteronomy 30:16 If you obey the commands of the Lord your God, which I give you today, if you love him, obey him, and keep all his laws, then you will prosper and become a nation of many people. The Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are about to occupy.
Deuteronomy 30:17 But if you disobey and refuse to listen, and are led away to worship other gods,
Deuteronomy 30:18 you will be destroyed — I warn you here and now. You will not live long in that land across the Jordan that you are about to occupy.
Deuteronomy 30:19 I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life.
Deuteronomy 30:20 Love the Lord your God, obey him and be faithful to him, and then you and your descendants will live long in the land that he promised to give your ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR; DEUTERONOMY 33-34
MESSAGE:
For you to gain access to all the blessings God has promised you, you have to love and obey Him in everything. Just like our bible text for today, when we look deep into
Deuteronomy 30:9” The Lord will make you prosperous in all that you do; you will have many children and a lot of livestock, and your fields will produce abundant crops. He will be as glad to make you prosperous as he was to make your ancestors prosperous,
All these blessings will only follow you when you follow God with all your heart. Our bible text also said the commandments of God is not too difficult or beyond your reach, His commandments are in the Bible we are carrying today, when we obey them then our lives will be better and prosperous. It’s not all about knowing and quoting the Bible, but by being obedient and doing what the word of God says. So many Christians can quote the Bible from Genesis to revelation, but to do is far away from them, they don’t have an obedient heart and that’s why they keep struggling with life and nothing is working for them.
Child of God, when you obey the word of God, you are making your own way prosperous, turn to Jesus today and give Him the whole of your heart and obey Him in all you do, He died for you to be saved so that you can reign with Him in Heaven.
KEY POINT:
Isaiah 1:19 If you will only obey me, you will eat the good things the land produces.
PRAYER POINT:
Heavenly Father, please give me the heart of total obedience to you in Jesus Name Amen.
