JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

 JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

7) JESUS IS MY BLESSINGS

Deuteronomy 28:2 - And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you…

God loves to bless you. He has even declared that “blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” This means that you can’t run fast enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting for you. When you turn another corner, you run into another blessing! The Blessing of Jesus will follow you but you follow Jesus.

You may think that you don’t qualify for God’s blessings because of the preceding verse which says that these blessings will come to pass only if you obey 

But Jesus is the one who qualifies us for every single blessing because He has kept all of God’s commandments. (In Heaven no one is able to open the seal but the Lamb who have been slain for us. Jesus received the seven fold blessings) When He died for us on the cross, He not only fulfilled all of God’s commandments, He also redeemed us from the curse of the law (see Galatians 3:13). The curse was exchanged for blessings.

The blessings of Deuteronomy 28, starting with “Blessed shall you be in the city…in the country…the fruit of your body…your basket…when you come in…when you go out…” (Deuteronomy 28:3–13), I believe that Jesus is saying to you, if you like the blessings then take them by faith! The just shall live by faith. Your every blessing is found in the person of Jesus Christ. 

You could say, “But I don’t deserve them.” Yes, you don’t deserve them, but you still receive them because of Jesus gracious grace!

Today, it is no longer a question of how much or how well you have kept God’s commandments. It is a question of how much you can believe God for His blessings. All the promises of God in Christ are “Yes,” and because you are in Christ, you can say “Amen!” to His blessings (see 2 Corinthians 1:20)!  We are not O.T. ministry but New Testament ministry of Melchizedek. This is the much more glorious ministry of Jesus Priesthood.  Psalms 23 is says "surely 100% goodness and mercy shall follows me all the days of my life. Blessings shall follow me also. Amen!

May the Lord bless you with Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honor, Glory and Blessing that Jesus was slain for you and me.
