Topic: Provoking Blessing
Text: Deuteronomy 28:10-40

Your prosperity is by divine decrees. The first one is in Psalms 34:10 “The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord not want any good thing.” The word of God here does not say, “Those that seek the Lord may not”. He says they shall not lack any good thing.” This verse is written in the language of a decree with God’s seal on it.

The only way you can “lack any good thing” is when the good thing comes and you personally reject it. The second decree is in Deuteronomy 28:11:’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…” It says the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods. It did not say plenteous in spirit. And what are goods? They are ears, houses, clothes, land, anything money can buy materials things!

Further it says, “in fruit of thy body.” That means you will have children, as many as you want, and you will have lots of money to take care of them. If you have any domestic animal - goat, sheep, poultry and cattle - God says they will keep on prospering. If you plant anything, it will come out very well. Now examine the next verse carefully.

The Lord shall open unto thee His good treasures, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thine land; and thou shall lend unto many nations, and thou shall not borrow.” God is not talking about you lending money to individuals but to nations. He added one thing, “AND THOU HALL NOT BORROW”. This is talking about wealth that is very difficult for human beings to imagine.

Memory Verse: Psalms 34:10 - “The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.”
