By THE SPIRIT it is written in Deuteronomy chapter 28:
8 “The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
9 “The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.”
A storehouse denotes abundance beyond satisfying the requirements of today. Your storehouse represents the results of what you set your hand to do. FATHER fully endorses and expects us to be active, productive, and prudent with the opportunities HE places before us. Any diversion from HIS directive for your life only serves to delay this blessing. Many never reach the point of being established in HIS blessings.
The purpose of HIM blessing us is to establish us as a Holy people to HIMSELF. There are those who would encourage the flow of blessing and then take another path which ultimately lead toward destruction. This occurs when they begin believing they were able to be successful independent of FATHER. Others are successful in attaining resources because FATHER will need those resources at a future time to establish HIS Holy people. They were simply stewards for a period of time.
Some people place such a focus on a future prophetic events that they end up doing nothing, expecting to be delivered at the time of the prophecy. In the final analysis, they were simply unproductive for the Kingdom. This is exactly why we must seek to be led by THE SPIRIT each and every day. There are some projects we should take on and others we should pass on. FATHER knows which ones fit into HIS purpose for our lives.
We must trust that FATHER will command the blessing on us. HE has sufficient power and authority over all creation to assure HIS Word will come to pass. There will be times when you are in the midst of work when your mind will question the outcome but you must simply work through any doubt as you walk out HIS instructions. You should endeavor to be the best at what you are doing, not just meeting minimum requirements. Your quality of work should reflect your mandate from Above. FATHER only selected the best artisans for HIS tabernacle in the Wilderness. There were no “slackers” involved in its construction.
By all earthly measures, the current system is quickly moving toward a major change. I believe it is our responsibility to prepare ourselves for whatever outcome is ahead. FATHER will prevail in any case but HE will use those who have been fully prepared and matured for such a time as is ahead of us. Those who have established themselves as doers of HIS Word and not hearers only as James wrote in chapter 1:
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
Are you being deceived? A doer is blessed and one who does nothing lives in constant scarcity. Scarcity is relative to your calling and scarcity to one person may look like abundance to another. We have abundance if we have sufficiency in all things pertaining to our individual lives. Set your hand to the purpose FATHER has called you and HE will command the blessing upon you. Do nothing and you will receive a reward of nothing.
