Today's Devotional...
God Is Raining Blessings On You
Deuteronomy 28:1212The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.Rain represents blessings in the Bible. Even today, Israelis thank God when it rains because they know that when God gives them rain, their blessings will be plentiful. Their cattle will feed in large pastures and eat cured, winnowed fodder. And when they see rivers and streams of water flowing from their mountains and hills (Isaiah 30:23-25), they know that times of refreshing have come.
Likewise, you can expect God to rain His blessings on you and bless the work of your hands. Then you will come to a place where you will "lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow". In fact, Jesus wants you to know that this is a blessing He has paid for for you to have because when He died, He did not even have a tomb of His own. He was laid in a borrowed tomb so that you can have the power to lend.
Indeed, our church bears testimony to this blessing. When I first joined this church full-time, it was a very small church of 100-odd members. The Lord has, however, rained His blessings on us and blessed all the work of our hands. Today, we have a congregation of more than 13,000 members and we are still growing. In fact, our church is lending its support to many ministries, both locally and overseas. We continue to see God pouring His blessings of prosperity and increase on us, and we thank Him for all the good things that are happening to us.
In the natural, there is nothing you can do about the rain but to let it fall. So just expect God to rain His blessings on you and let them fall! And you will be blessed with more than enough, so that after your needs and your family's needs are met, you can be a channel of blessing to others too!Copyright Joseph Prince, 2006.
