Into the Promise Land

In the afternoon of March 11, 2010 I ask the Lord for His word for me. Though He had lead me to certain topics early in the morning but the message became clear in the afternoon when OI started to ponder on the very words from the book of Deuteronomy specially chapter 11.

 

Below are the things He made emphasis on;

 

The Command(s) that we need to follow;

Deu 11:1  So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.

Deu 11:8  So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage

Deu 11:13  And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

 

Deu 11:18  So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;

Deu 11:19  Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

Deu 11:20  Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns

 

Deu 11:22  For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him

 

The warning(s) we have to take heed;

 

Deu 11:16  But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

Deu 11:17  For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

 

The Promise(s) we can claim if we follow what He has commanded us;

 

Deu 11:9  And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Deu 11:10  For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

Deu 11:11  But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

Deu 11:12  A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

Deu 11:14  Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.

Deu 11:15  And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.

Deu 11:23  Then the Lord will send these nations in flight before you, and you will take the lands of nations greater and stronger than yourselves.

Deu 11:24  Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.

Deu 11:25  All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.

 

You might be telling yourself or trying to talk to me here and tell me that there’s too much information here but then again let me tell you that the Bible or God’s word is filled with a lot of things.  I just broke down a few things here and you might want to read the entire Deuteronomy 11.  Read it and hear your voice.  Besides “faith cometh by hearing” this might be too literal but I would put my faith on this. 

 

You too can be partakers of this promise as I am.

 

This is not just for me but for those who are part of the family of the Lord – the children of the Most High God – “The Great I am”.

 

Shalom!
