Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations" for today is another simple, yet profound TRUTH that will set you free when you really see it!
JESUS IS YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS
Deuteronomy 28:2 And all these blessings shall come upon you
and overtake you…
God loves to bless you. He has even declared that “blessings
shall come upon you and overtake you.” This means that you can’t run fast
enough to escape them! When you turn one corner, there is a blessing waiting
for you. When you turn another corner, you run smack into another blessing!
Now, you may think that you don’t qualify for God’s
blessings because of the preceding verse which says that these blessings will
come to pass only if you diligently obey God’s voice and keep all of
His commandments. You know that no matter how hard you try, you just cannot
keep all of God’s commandments. In fact, the Bible says that if you fail to
keep just one commandment, you fail to keep all (see James 2:10).
My friend, I have good news for you: Jesus is the one who
qualifies us for every single blessing because He has kept all of
God’s commandments. When He died for us on the cross, He not only fulfilled all
of God’s commandments, He also redeemed us from the curse of the law (see
Galatians 3:13). Note that He did not redeem us from the blessings of the law,
so the blessings are still ours today!
As you read the list of blessings in Deuteronomy 28,
starting with “Blessed shall you be in the city…in the country…the fruit of
your body…your basket…when you come in…when you go out…” (Deuteronomy 28:3–13),
I believe that Jesus is saying to you, “Like the blessings? Then take them by
faith!”
You may say, “But I don’t deserve them.” Yes, you don’t
deserve them, but you still get them because of Jesus. That is God’s grace! The
law says, “You must deserve the blessings.” But the law is no longer here.
Grace is here. So take the blessings by grace through faith. Believe God for
the blessings.
Today, it is no longer a question of how much or how well
you have kept God’s commandments. It is a question of how much you can believe God
for His blessings. All the promises of God in Christ are “Yes,” and because you
are in Christ, you can say “Amen!” to His blessings (see 2 Corinthians 1:20)!
AMEN! Remember, God's Word is TRUTH (John 17:17)! The ONLY TRUTH! Find out what God's Word has to say about every situation that you face! Now stand on that TRUTH and HE will confrim it and brin g it to pass (Mark 16:29)! Here is Hillsong with "King of Kings":Shalom in Him!
