The Blessing of Obedience

Deuteronomy 28: 1-13
Amplified Bible

1IF YOU will listen diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, being watchful to do all His commandments which I command you this day, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. 2And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you if you heed the voice of the Lord your God. 3Blessed shall you be in the city and blessed shall you be in the field.4Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock.5Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading trough.6Blessed shall you be when you come in and blessed shall you be when you go out.7The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.8The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.9The Lord will establish you as a people holy to Himself, as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.10And all people of the earth shall see that you are called by the name [and in the presence of] the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.11And the Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity, through the fruit of your body, of your livestock, and of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.12The Lord shall open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.13And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.

God is watering the seed He has planted.You have asked God to water your garden. The anointing He has placed in you is being watered. The gift He has given you is being watered. Can you stand to be blessed? Obedience in this hour is critical. You may not understand what God is telling you to do. Do it! There is an overflow coming. You are on the cutting edge of God's plans and purposes. He will lead you into higher realms of manifest glory. The Word of God says your obedience will cause blessings to overtake you. You will be blessed with things you never even asked for in addition to what you ask. The enemy is going to come with a vengeance. Declare and decree that you will not sit down, back up, go back, or turn around.

You cannot pick and choose what area to be obedient in and still expect the blessing. Your answer must be yes, completely yes. It's time for action. Hear the word of the Lord then act on it. Abraham was blessed by his obedience. When God told him to sacrifice Issac, the promised child...He moved without hesitation. God told Abraham to leave home and go into a land that He would send him. Abraham moved. As his reward Abraham was blessed, his seed was blessed, God made his name great. God is no respecter of persons.

Your obedience may cause you to lose some things, some friends, maybe even family members.Obedience may cause you to look strange. You may even question if you really heard from God. But, who is like the Lord?
