My Beloved, to experience all of God and all HIS promises to us, we must give all of ourselves to HIM in total obedience. LORD, please help us truly submit and surrender all to you in JESUS name, Amen.

Deuteronomy 26:16-19
16 “Today the LORD your God has commanded you to obey all these decrees and regulations. So be careful to obey them wholeheartedly. 
17 You have declared today that the LORD is your God. And you have promised to walk in his ways, and to obey his decrees, commands, and regulations, and to do everything he tells you. 
18 The LORD has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands. 
19 And if you do, he will set you high above all the other nations he has made. Then you will receive praise, honor, and renown. You will be a nation that is holy to the LORD your God, just as he promised.”

My Beloved, yet another reminder that Gods fulfillment of HIS promises and blessings to us is hinged or connected to our obedience to HIS commands and words. And our obedience to HIS commands demonstrates our love to God.

John 14:15
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Deuteronomy 26:14-15
14 I have not eaten any of it while in mourning; I have not handled it while I was ceremonially unclean; and I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the LORD my God and have done everything you commanded me.
15 Now look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you swore to our ancestors to give us—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

Thank God for bringing us this far. I am thankful to God for all HE has done for you and your family in JESUS name, Amen!

Happy Thanksgiving! To God be all glory.

Beloved, yes we have confessed The Lord JESUS as our Savior, but does that mean that we automatically receive in reality every single promise made to us? No, they are stored up until we have proven we are obedient and mature. And at the right time, GOD knows exactly when we have passed and are mature to receive what is already ours. So, I suggest you GROW UP! Stop holding up your own blessings by acting like a child when you are actually all growd up! 😉

Deuteronomy 26:14b-15
14b …I have obeyed the LORD my God and have done everything you commanded me.
15 Now look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you swore to our ancestors to give us—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

Galatians 4:1-2
1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,
2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.

Beloved, are the Tithes we give meant for only the Priest who takes care of the house of God? Is there something like a special Tithe and what is it meant for?

Deuteronomy 26:12-13
12 “Every third year you must offer a special tithe of your crops. In this year of the special tithe you must give your tithes to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, so that they will have enough to eat in your towns.
13 Then you must declare in the presence of the LORDyour God, ‘I have taken the sacred gift from my house and have given it to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, just as you commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten any of your commands.

My Beloved, after you have honored and given to The LORD, and HE has blessed you, celebrate! How should we celebrate you ask and who should we invite? In your good conscience, I’ll let you decide

Deuteronomy 26:11
11 Afterward you may go and celebrate because of all the good things the LORD your God has given to you and your household. Remember to include the Levites and the foreigners living among you in the celebration.

Beloved,

God asks us not to compare ourselves with anyone. Our experiences with GOD and with life are unique and we all have unique purposes. So it will be useless to compare a sweet pear with a sweet orange. Though both are fruit, they each have their distinct taste yet provide nourishment to those who eat them. So also our unique lives are to produce fruits that others can benefit from. So focus on you, be the pear or apple or orange GOD has made you to be and produce your own fruit without worrying about what that other person is doing, producing or experiencing.

2 Corinthians 10:12
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

Galatians 6:4
4 Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else.

Beloved, do you remember where or what God delivered you from? Is this not reason enough to worship and praise HIM?

5 “You must then say in the presence of the LORD your God, ‘My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation.
6 When the Egyptians oppressed and humiliated us by making us their slaves,
7 we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors. He heard our cries and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression.
8 So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and powerful arm, with overwhelming terror, and with miraculous signs and wonders.
9 He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey!
10 And now, O LORD, I have brought you the first portion of the harvest you have given me from the ground.’ Then place the produce before the LORD your God, and bow to the ground in worship before HIM.

Beloved, so are you truly putting God first in all you do including your Tithes? Our first fruits, the first of all we profit belongs to our Lord.

Deuteronomy 26:1-4
1 “When you enter the land the LORDyour God is giving you as a special possession and you have conquered it and settled there,
2 put some of the first produce from each crop you harvest into a basket and bring it to the designated place of worship—the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored.
3 Go to the priest in charge at that time and say to him, ‘With this gift I acknowledge to the LORD your God that I have entered the land he swore to our ancestors he would give us.’
4 The priest will then take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar of the LORD your God.

My Beloved, you know those things that defeated or made you fall in the past. Do not entertain or re-engage with those things or people. Dismiss them with an urgent passion and dont play nice. Evil is evil no matter how pretty or enticing it looks. Dont forget your enemies as their aim is to destroy you!

Deuteronomy 25:17-19
17 Never forget what the Amalekites did to you as you came from Egypt.
18 They attacked you when you were exhausted and weary, and they struck down those who were straggling behind. They had no fear of God.
19 Therefore, when the LORD your God has given you rest from all your enemies in the land he is giving you as a special possession, you must destroy the Amalekites and erase their memory from under heaven. Never forget this!
