He Will Command The Blessing

"The Lord shall command the Blessing upon you in your storehouses and in all that you undertake. And He will Bless you in the land which the Lord your God give you!" Deuteronomy 28:8 (AMP)

This verse speaks volumes to me! It is so full of truth and promise from the Lord. We are to have storehouses. God wants us to be so Blessed that we have overflow! I think this verse should give us hope and faith that God can do amazing things in our lives.
The word command in the Hebrew language means "to give an order, charge, or decree." So in this verse God is going to order the Blessing to come on us and not just a little but overflowing. "The Blessing is a declaration which empowers someone to prosper and succeed in everything they do." (George Pearsons) What a statement! The Lord wants me to prosper and succeed in everything I do! Proverbs 10:22 says "The Blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow to it." I love that verse! Just knowing that my Lord doesn't want me to have sorrow or despair. He just wants to Bless me! In Genesis 1:28 God told Adam to be fruitful, multiply, to replenish the earth, to subdue it, and have dominion over it. Since God never change and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then the sames things He told Adam holds true to us. He wants us to be fruitful, to multiply, and to replenish the earth. He also wants us to subdue it and have dominion over it. To subdue means to conquer or overcome. He wants us to overcome the earth! Dominion means the power or right of governing and controlling. God gave us the authority to tell the devil to get out of our lives! Anything that the devil tries to bring against us we can combat with the Word of God and take authority! Isn't that exciting news??
I have already mention this once but we are to have storehouses. Storehouses are multiple places where goods and wealth are stored. This could be bank accounts, investment accounts, or anywhere else where something of value is stored. God will protect and multiply whatever is in those storehouses. I have to share the new living translation of this verse. "The Lord will guarantee a Blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain."

So the second part of this verse is the Lord will command the Blessing upon all that you set your hand to do. So everything you undertake will succeed and prosper. That means whatever you do! You could be a business owner, dog trainer, photographer, pastor, mom, etc.. That is so encouraging to me! "The Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He has watched over your journey through this vast wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have not lacked anything." (Deuteronomy 2:7, NIV) We will never lack anything because He is always with us! "here, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families shall eat and shall rejoice in everything you have put your hand to, because the Lord your God has blessed you." (Deuteronomy 12:7, NIV) "Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours" (Psalm 128:1-2, NIV) When we fear the Lord and walk in His ways we will eat the fruit of our labor and Blessings and prosperity will be ours. That gets me really excited. This is why I strive everyday to walk in His ways! I want to be Blessed! "And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!" (Psalm 90:17, NLT) He shows us His approval and makes or efforts successful. With all of these verses telling us how He wants to Bless us and make us prosperous in everything we should know it is for us! He wants and He even says He will Bless us. He doesn't say it just once either, He says it multiple times. 

The Last part of this verse  says He will Bless us in the Land. "The Lord your God is giving you the land, and he will make sure you are successful in everything you do." (Deuteronomy 28:8, CEV) This translation of this verse gets me super excited. I am believing God will give me land with a house on it so this verse is something I pray and speak into my life. In Genesis 26:12-13 (NLT) it gives and account of Isaac getting a hundredfold return on his crop. This is the same thing God desires for us. I love that He desires to Bless me abundantly  even in my shortcoming. 
Deuteronomy 28:8- "With health and long life in it, and with abundance of all good things, it being a land flowing with milk and honey."- John Gill's Exposition of  the Bible
I really like the way that he puts it. With health and long life. That is what I want and what God wants for me. 
I want to encourage you to read these verses that tell you what God wants to do for you. It is up to you to speak the Word and believe and God will do the rest. I will leave you with this statement: "What is Blessed can't be cursed."- Gloria Copeland
