GOOD OF THE LAND

 Elizabeth I. Abaye

 "If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; Isaiah 1:19 NKJV

God did not call us to a life of shame, reproach or lack and want but to inherit blessings. God want us to prosper in every area of our lives but He does not want us to live our lives in misplaced priorities

Of a truth, material blessings are added bonus to our relationship with God. However, we must understand that our material and physical prosperity are hinged on our willingness to obey Him.

We have been brought into the land of glory, prosperity, abundance, and honor, God chose us out of the world that we can enjoy His blessings on earth and reign in life. The scripture says "it is the good of the land" The Amplified versions refers to it as “the best of the land”; Oh yes, the best of the land is our portion in Christ Jesus.

The good of the land refers to possessions, prosperity, fruitfulness and increase. It is God’s abundance provision made available for our enjoyment. Oh Solomon says, Also, every man to whom God has given riches and possessions, He has also given the power and ability to enjoy them and to receive [this as] his [allotted] portion and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God [to him]. Ecclesiastes 5:19 AMP

The good of the land also refers to the material blessings that God provides through the abundance of the earth.  Thus Psalm 67:5-6 says, “Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Then the earth shall yield her increase; God, our own God, shall bless us.”

Material blessing is a part of God’s goodness unto His heritage. He delights in our enjoyment of the increase of the earth. Jeremiah 2:7 tells us, “And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof;”

But to enjoy all His blessings is a matter of you and I either choosing to be willing and obedient and receive it and live a happy life or be unwilling and disobey and live in frustration. 

Willingness in our text  refers to consenting in one's wills to the Father's will.... 1Kings 2:3 says: “Observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands.... Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go"

On the other hand, obedience is doing what you are told to do, or what the law, or a rule says you must do. It is compliance with a command,

The truth is that obedience is an essential part of the Christian faith. Looking at our Master Jesus Christ, we see that Himself was “Obedient unto death, even death on a cross”  (Philippians 2:8). This we must learn from Him and emulate Him. 

Understand that for obedience to accomplish its purpose, it must be complete. We can't do it halfway, partial obedience is disobedience.

God’s blessings has conditions attach to it, it is your willingness to do His will and to be obedient to His word that is the criteria to living in his blessings and eating the good of the land.

The choice belongs to us to make. If we chose to do the right thing we will certainly eat the good of the land.

The land has been bestowed with so much blessings and goodness, there is more than enough for everyone

Therefore let us be submitted to God, resisting anything that may stand against our enjoyment of the good of the land.

COME UP HITHER

COME UP HITHER And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Revelation 11:12 KJV The call of the Spirit of God is always to a Higher Place, to see more, to know more, to receive more and to be more in God. The Christian Life by design is one of ever increasing glory ..... No glory is ever enough, we are to Go Up Hither for more glory because it is always from one level of glory unto another. 2Corintians 3:18 says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Similarly, in Proverbs 4:18 we are told, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day . There is always more and more and more for us to grasp in Christ but for us to get them, we must Go Up Hither. It is in the place of Going Up Hither

BREAK UP YOUR FALLOW  GROUND Jeremiah 4:3, “Break up your fallow ground, And do not sow among thorns." Just like farmers have to prepare the ground to bear fruit, we must prepare ourselves to receive from God this year. We must be ready for greater glory. The expression, “Break up your fallow ground" means, to prepare your minds to bring forth fruit unto God. To break off your bad habits; clear junks from your hearts, work on your attitude, take away hatred, bitterness, lust, and greed. These are thorns that has been chocking your seeds, preventing them from germinating, and growing to maturity to producing fruits. In our passage, Jeremiah makes the people to understand that if they do not "Break up their fallow ground They will be sowing among thorns."  In other words, they will sow seed, but because they didn't bother to prepare the soil and pull out the thorns, the seed will have little or no effect.  You can't keep being the s

WHEN GOD IS YOUR SOURCE

Add caption WHEN GOD IS        YOUR            SOURCE Psalm 84:11, says: “No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” At the time when I and my family were going through some very difficult time, a period when all hopes was lost, and all was gloomy it seemed as though God has forgotten us and that God does not give good things to His children.  But in the midst of it all, we never lose our trust in God, we continued to ask of Him in prayers that our situation may change and He did not disappoint us. We made Him our source of supply for every need, we trusted Him for every detail of our life and we are still doing that till date. This is because we have come to know that God gives the best and His gifts has eternal value and anything the world didn't give you, it can't take from you. But whatever the world gives you does not have eternal value and it can be taken away. Thus we made God our source. Beloved, you also can do the same, let God be your sour
