Topic: ATTRACTING GOD’S BLESSINGS I

Memory Verse: Deuteronomy 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.
Bible Reading: Genesis 22:1-18

Message:

In our memory verse for today, the word of God made it clear: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God”.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 says further:

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

The choice you make between living holy and committing sin determines what you attract to your life – whether blessings or curses. If you live holy, you would attract God’s blessings, if you choose to live in sin, you would attract curses. Which one will you choose?

Blessings don’t come without a cause. In Genesis 27:1-4, Isaac told Esau to prepare a very nice meal that would satisfy him, so that he could bless the boy before dying. Though it was Esau that was to be blessed, Jacob who brought the meal first, got the blessing. He provoked the blessing upon himself by doing something to please his father. If you want God to bless you, do His will and please Him always. To achieve this, you must live a life of holiness. If you refuse to live holy, forget about attracting the blessings of God.
IIDon’t mistake just having money for divine blessings. A truly blessed man has all round peace and prosperity.

Points: Holiness attracts God’s blessings.
Bible in one year: Revelation 4, Revelation 5, Revelation 6, Revelation 7

Hymn Title: In Christ Alone

  1. In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

  2. In Christ alone who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

  3. There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

  4. No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
