“And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.”
Deuteronomy 28:10 KJV
Child of God, what you carry is heavy. Haven’t you noticed that sometimes some folks would look at you in amazement? The reason they look at you that way is that what they packaged against you did not work and they are wondering which ‘native doctor’ is your source. Never be afraid of the enemy. God has packaged you in such a way that your enemies will be afraid of you. So if they say they are witches and they drink blood, let them know you drink blood too. The blood of Jesus! If they say they eat flesh, let them know you eat flesh also. The flesh of Jesus!
In Christ, we are called by the name of the Lord. Therefore, even your competitors will esteem you highly. People will begin to notice that good things happen when they are around you. When you arrive the atmosphere changes. They will honour and respect you. You will be in the spotlight. That means every other place would be dark and everyone would be forced to focus on you because of what you carry. That is what the commanded blessing is all about. You must never be ignorant of your rights as citizens of the Kingdom. Pay the price to know your heritage.
Learn to carry yourself with confidence because there is a sweet smelling fragrance that exudes from your body all over. When you come out, everyone is waiting to hear what you have to say, because what you say is final. Because you are called by the name of the Lord, He “will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground….”(Deuteronomy 28:11 NKJV)
What does this mean? Massive quantity! There shall be no more shortage of anything good in your life.
