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 ...

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED

YOU ARE A GOOD SEED  By Elizabeth I. Abaye Oftentimes, when things are not going in our direction or in the way we expected.... When life becomes rough and unbearable people begin to think that something is wrong with them or that they have been given bad destiny. This is the reason many pray for God to change their destiny.... They even sing it in worships. They tend to forget that they are God's creation and His dear children and all that God made is good and his seed is in all his children. There's none made or born with defected destiny... You are perfectly made with a marvelous destiny. Now look at what the scripture says about the good seed, He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;  Matthew 13:37‭-‬38 (KJV), Are you Born Again? then you have the seed of the glorious God  in you because you're His dear c...

 KEEPING THE RIGHT COMPANY  By Elizabeth I. Abaye  1 Corinthians 15:33 says, "Don't be deceived, bad company corrupts good character." (CEB)  The people you hangout with, and spend time with matters in life and can affect your purpose positively or negatively.  You are born to be great but you can't achieve greatness by spending time with the scornful, the unserious minded people. Keeping the right kinds of company will add value to your life.  They are many who get inspiration from God that would have taken them to their estate of greatness but because they have been mingling with the wrong set of  people, they are not able to put their God given ideas to work.  Every time spent with those who are not doing any relevant thing to move their life forward to the next level is a waste of your potential. And for every wasted time you lost, you are losing great opportunity and money. You need to put your potentials to work so you can achieve purpose an...
