Blessing Dictated On Us

"Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it."
Isaiah 45:8

God commands blessing to descend upon us, urging us to receive them, be revived and bring forth fruits of eternal salvation and righteousness, together with Him.

Preferential Favor To The Obedient

"But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."
Psalm 81:16

Our wilful disobedience to God's voice depletes us from enjoying His choicest favor (v.11). God is always ready to offer from His infinite, exquisite resources, if we are ready to carefully walk in His ways (v.13).

Will Conceal And Elevate

"For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock."
Psalm 27:5

Let us try our best to secure God's shelter, snapping off everything that prevents our fellowship with Him, who will conceal and make us inaccessible to our foes, until in His due time will elevate us high above everybody else (v.6).

Endless Jubilation

"..rejoice in your Maker..exult in your King."
Psalm149:2

Let us be glad and rejoice in Him always because we are His workmanship. Let us jump for joy because our Maker is our King, reigning over us, redeeming, sanctifying, sustaining, providing and not withholding anything good from us. If we have God as the source of our joy, there will be no end to our celebration.

Anticipate The Unseen

"..we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
2 Corinthians 4: 17,18

All the present condition that we are in today - whether joy or sorrow, health or illness, wealth or poverty are all temporal, just for a brief season. But our faith in Christ for a prosperous and peaceful future will bring far more exceeding, eternal weight of glory.

All Will Go Well With Us

"Say to the righteous that it will go well with them, For they will eat the fruit of their actions."
Isaiah 3:10

God Himself pronounces blessing on the righteous, promising His goodness at all times, in all our relationships and in all our circumstances. He will bless us with the labor of our hands and make us joyful and prosperous (Psa.128:2).

Be Assured Of His Favor Every Minute

"Show me evidence of your favor! Then those who hate me will see it and be ashamed, for you, O LORD, will help me and comfort me."
Psalm 86:17

As children of God, we ought to treasure His exceeding great and precious promises as our tokens of proof. We have to recognize His presence with us in our daily occurence, where He keeps doors opened, makes our ways plain, etc, except in very special occasions where we need a sure sign of God on our side, to embarass our foe.

From Hibernation To Buoyancy

"You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth."
Psalm 71:20

Though at present our life might seem to be frigid and bitter, let us not give up hope because we have our God who can still revive and restore us not only to our former greatness but also increase our honor, comfort us on every side and surround us with His favor (v.21).

Reap Extravagant Favor

"..Is the spirit of the LORD restricted? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walks uprightly?"
Micah 2:7

There is no limit to the Spirit of Divine Truth that every time we seek God and His Word, He refreshes our soul out of any fallen state (Ps.19:7), gives rest to all our anxiety and satisfies us (Jer.31:25). If we are not mere speculators but doers of His Word, it will do us good.

Don't Be Humiliated Again

"Don't let the downtrodden be humiliated again. Instead, let the poor and needy praise your name."
Psalm 74:21

Though crippled with grief and torn with despair, when we look to the Most High God with confidence, our hope will not be disappointed, because the Lord will gaze down upon us from heaven to hear our groaning and to set us free so that we can sing His praises and exalt His name (102:19-22).

Pursue Divine Wisdom, Have Your Hopes Fulfilled

"..wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short."
Proverbs 24:14

Though there will be some hardship in the pursuit of divine wisdom, as hunting for an honeycomb, the attainment of it will be amply repaid, bringing with it not only temporary sweetness but infinite and abiding bounty. When we have found that wisdom, we will have what we have been hoping and waiting for.

His Resurrection Makes Our Faith Fruitful

"and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins."
1 Corinthians 15:17

The resurrection of Christ gives us sufficient justification to believe that our sins are pardoned and that we are no more dominated by sin. Our faith in Him for our healing and blessings are all the more fruitful because His resurrection gives us spiritual power in our hearts to secure all His favor.

Wait Until He Manifests

"And I will wait for the LORD who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob; I will even look eagerly for Him."
Isaiah 8:17

There are times in our lives when our anticipation seem to abort to everything seems vague and hopeless, as if God is hiding Himself from us. But let us not lose heart but still wait on Him with all expectations, because He who went to the grave rose up from the dead with greater glory. He will soon manifest Himself to us with abounding glory.

Abounding Unfathomable Favor

"I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs."
Isaiah 41:18

God's blessings are abounding and immesaurable, unfathomable when compared with our situations. God is unchanging and His promises are always authenticated with permanence and surety. He can bless us whatever circumstance we may be in and however barren we are.

Man's Time Vs God's

"Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready."
John 7:6

Man is always impatient, inspired by selfish motives to accomplish his self desires, incited on instant benefits. God's work is never at random but has a special time for every task incited by future benefits, in perfect accord and plan.

Every Single Gratitude Is Due To God

"For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen."
Romans 11:36

God is the fountain and reservoir,from whom any goodness come into existence. Nothing outgrows out of luck or by chance. Our every gratitude, honor and praise is due to Him alone now and forever more.

Praise And Witness The Royal Procession

"People have seen Your procession, God, the procession of my God, my King, in the sanctuary."
Psalm 68:24

As we sing and praise God in His sanctuary (vs.25), we can still witness the splendor and grandeur of the King of kings. Let us lift up our heads with full of praises and thanksgiving for the King of glory, the Lord strong and mighty to enter (24:7,8).

Seek God Privately To See Him Publicly

"Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor."
Psalm 63:2

When we seek God privately, with full of thirst and desire for Him (vs.1), He will manifest His presence, power and glory to us publicly. Then will we be satisfied as with the richest feast and be filled with His praises. We who have allegiance to Him will be honoured and those who acknowledged false beliefs will be silenced (vs.5,11).

The Word Of God Revitalizes

"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you--they are full of the Spirit and life."
John 6:63

Mere human life or physical effort, without the Spirit of God confers no benefit(1Tim.4:8). But the Word of God always teams up with spiritual power and life that are veiled. Our highest need today is to be revitalized by the Spirit of God.

Thank, Pay Vows, Be Saved

"But I will sacrifice unto you with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."
Jonah 2:9

Let us enrich our thankfulness to God in everything, by which everytime we enter into His door of favor. Let us faithfully with God's help execute our vows to the Most High, in order to be delivered from our troubles (Ps.50:14,15). Salvation is purely of God, with no human intelligence or assistance involved.

Feed On His Word To Live Life To The Full

"For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven, and gives life unto the world."
John 6:33

No man can ascend up to bring true life from God (Deut.30:12-14), the author of life. God sent down His only Son Jesus to give us life to the full (Jn.10:10). Let us feed on the Word of God, which provides our necessities according to divine scales (Deut.8:3).

Be Not Two But One With Him

"..whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit."
1 Corinthians 6:17

Let us not be just dead branches of the living Vine, saying that we are united with Christ with just outward declaration and religious rituals. But let us be totally blended with His Spirit so that His thoughts and will become ours, drawing all nourishment from Him. Then we will manifest not our human nature but His love and power in all that we do and say.

Beware Of Men With Futile Conversations And Deeds

"Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood"
Psalm 144:11

As we seek God's favor, it is also as much important for us to plead His mercy to rescue us from those who are aliens to God, with futile conversations and fake deeds. Let us not trust or rely on them to the least, for their influence on us will be devastating.

Make His Goodness Personally Yours

"O taste and see that the LORD is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!"
Psalm 34:8

We are invited to taste the goodness of God that sweetens our life, eliminates all our bitterness and depression and fills us with His fullness of love, joy, peace and all His riches. Let us make His goodness and grace personally our own by totally depending on Him like parasites.

Aim To Reap Unperishable Reward

"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
Galatians 6:8

As children of God, our every single seed i.e. ambition in life should be to please God. Everything of this world is perishable. Let our every aim whether at home, job, studies or business be to glorify God, so that in due season, though not today or tomorrow but in His time, we will reap His eternal favor. When we seek His glory, we will have a double harvest both here in this world and in eternity.

If Alive, Be Filled With His Praises

"For the grave cannot praise you, death can not celebrate you: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for your truth."
Isaiah 38:18

Only the dead in spirit can be callous and unresponsive to the works of God in their daily lives and their souls slowly travel down to the eternal pit, with no hope in His promises or His faithfulness. If we claim to be alive, let us acknowledge His bounty and be filled with His praises, always anticipating more favor out of His precious promises.

All I Have Is From God

.."A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven."
John 3:27

We have nothing of our own. Whatever we have is a gift to us from our heavenly Father. All our success is from Him, and we can not make things even slightly better by ourselves. No one from nowhere can exalt us (Psa.75:6). It is God who lifts our head high (Psa.3:3).

To Be Rich, Don't Seek Riches

"A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished."
Proverbs 28:20

For God to make us prosperous, we should never seek after riches but seek God (Mat.6:33) and walk in Truth (3 Jn.2,3). The Bible warns us that if we hasten after wealth, we are heading towards poverty(Pro.28:22).
