Good
Morning!
In my
last Encouragement, I talked
about how The Lord has placed
"conditions" on His COVENANT
blessings. He puts these
conditions there for our
"protection"...not for His
personal "satisfaction". He
doesn't need us to obey His
Word, just to make Him feel that
He is the "boss"! He knows THAT
whether we keep His "conditions"
or not! He just wants to make
sure that we receive all of the
COVENANT blessings that He has
made available to us! Just for
example...He tells us that if we
will "seek Him first, and
will do things His way, then
everything that we need will be
added to us! (Matthew 6:33 Amp.
Bible). I am going to use that
scripture as a "foundation" as
I bring out so many more of
God's COVENANT blessings that
come with a "condition"! I
encourage you to think about
each one of them as being God's
way of doing things. The
instructions are so very
simple..... IF we will just do
it "His Way", we will receive
the COVENANT blessings!
For
example....The Lord has promised
us that we can find FAVOR with
Him and other people, IF we are
always "merciful and
truthful"! (Proverbs 3:3-4). I
don't know about you, but I
really enjoy finding FAVOR
with God and FAVOR with other
people every where I go! I made
a "decision" to do things His
way in order to always have
FAVOR with Him! It is important
to me to be His "favorite"!
YOU can be His "favorite" also,
when you do what His
"conditions" tell you to do!
Let's
look at the first "condition" of
that scripture.....IF we are
"merciful". Are you always
"kind and considerate"...do
you have "compassion" for others
that are hurting? Do you
remember how The Lord showed you
His mercy when you did not
deserve it? Do you "forgive"
people who have done you wrong?
All of these things are
"definitions" of the word
MERCIFUL. Are you "merciful"?
And aren't you glad that The
Lord is "merciful" towards you?
Can I get an "Amen"?
Tomorrow,
I will talk about the second
"condition" in that
scripture....IF we are
"truthful". Stay tuned
in....you will find out how to
have FAVOR with God everywhere
you go! He so desires for you
to have this 'FAVOR"!
