A Blessed Work

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for the blessings and flourishing He gives to those who follow after Him and belong to Him. Psalm 1v1-3 (NLT) says “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.” Amen. This man, who follows the Lord, whatever he does shall proper. Synonyms for prosper include flourish, thrive, do well, make money, show a profit, be in the black, get on, grow and burgeon. Hallelujah!!!

In Deuteronomy 28, the Word of God mentions some of the blessings that accrue to those who listen diligently to the voice of the Lord and are watchful to follow the commandments which Moses gave them at the time: “And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the works of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow (v11-12, AMP).

Children of God are blessings wherever they are. Because of Joseph, Potiphar’s house was blessed, as well as the land of Egypt and the whole earth during the time of famine (Genesis 39v3-6; Genesis 41v57). Because of Daniel’s relationship with the Lord, many did not die after he was able to reveal the king’s dream (Daniel 2). Indeed, Laban told Jacob that he knew that he was blessed because of Jacob (Genesis 30v27). As children of God, our real master, regardless of our task is the Lord, and it is to Him that we work, and He in turn blesses us, and others through us. Colossians 3v23-24 (AMP) says “Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as [something done] for the Lord and not for men. Knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [and not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [real] reward. [The One Whom] you are actually serving [is] the Lord Christ (the Messiah).” Hallelujah.  

Prayer

Father, we thank You for who You are. You are our Lord, our Master, our King, the Just One, the Righteous Judge. Blessed be Your name. Thank You for this day. Thank You for the work of our hands. We thank You that even as we follow after You, and meditate on Your word, and are obedient to You, You will cause us to flourish, prosper and be a blessing wherever we are to the glory and honour of Your name. Thank You so much o God, in Jesus name we pray, amen.
