Blessed With The Excellent And The Plenty

Deuteronomy 28:4 - “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
Would u want 2 buy a chair that Jesus made? I would, even if it cost US$1,000 bcoz it would be of superb quality. Whatever Jesus did, He did it with perfect excellence. 

And bcoz Christ is in u, the things which u produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children, who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks”. 

God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be of excellent quality.

That is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality bcoz Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant u plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,” which means that u will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and u will be a leading producer in the area of your specialty.

My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid 4 your prosperity — “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that u through His poverty might become rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9)

Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gamble 4 His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that u could be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!
