Be Willing And Obedient To Eat The Good Of The Land

Is the land where you are satisfying you with the good she has? Every land has been endowed by God with some good things which her inhabitants can benefit from. However, many people are not having the taste of the goodies that their land has to offer them; rather they are wallowing in poverty. This post reveals the secret to eating the good of the land.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword”; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken - Isaiah 1:19-20 (NKJV).

In a land where some people are murmuring and complaining that they are suffering and in poverty, others are making it genuinely and not out of evil practices. They are eating the good of the land.

God desires for you to enjoy the blessings He had attached to the land where you are, and He has given the key to its actualization. Operation of this key will open you up to great blessings. The key is in being willing and obedient to the Lord's instructions per time.

Be willing and obedient

This is one wisdom God has laid down in order for us to live successfully on earth. You must be both willing and obedient to the Lord in order to eat the good of the land. Being obedient and yet unwilling will not yield good fruits to you, so also will being willing and not obedient yield nothing to you. Two of them must be in place for you to enjoy the good of the land.

God has a plan and purpose for every individual. A discovery and pursuit of it will yield great fruits for you. Many Christians, though they know God's plan for them are not willing to pursue it. Some disobey because they think the Lord's plan is not ideal for them, while others are bothered about the contrary opinion of the society, family and friends. Some Christians may be willing to pursue the plan and purpose but they want to do it their own way, while some will obey His instructions but not willingly. All these attitudes will affect the good that is to go to them. You must be willing and obedient to eat the good of the land. Read more...

Open Your Mouth Wide And Enjoy Triumph And Blessings

How much power of your mouth are you enjoying? Life and death are in the power of the tongue and you will eat the fruit of it (Proverbs 18:21). Understanding the power that lies with your mouth will deliver you from troubles and release your blessings to you. This post encourages you to effectively use your mouth for your good, open your mouth wide and say what you ought to say to enjoy triumph and blessings.

I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But My people would not heed My voice, and Israel would have none of Me. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own counsels. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand against their adversaries…He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat; and with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you – Psalm 81:10-16 (NKJV, emphasis mine).

God, the only wise One, gave the children of Israel a wisdom word for their triumph and blessings, but they rejected it. They chose to walk in their own counsels and not the Lord’s way. This led to them being in want and subjected to defeat by their enemies.  What was the wisdom word from God? God said, “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” God is saying the same today to you.

To shut your mouth is to shut down your future or develop a stunted life. Your mouth determines what comes to you on daily basis. The words you speak are seeds that will germinate to produce fruits (Proverbs 12:14). Bad seeds will produce bad fruits and good seeds will produce good fruits. When you are generous with planting good seeds, you will get bountiful harvest of good fruits and vice versa, so also, when you are generous with speaking the right words, you will have bountiful harvest of victories and blessings.
