You Are A Blessing Going Somewhere To Happen
Deuteronomy 28:10
Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you.
Today, we are called by the name of Christ — Christ-ians. Therefore, the blessing of Deuteronomy 28:10, which says, “Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord…” is no longer just a promise but reality!
The second part of the verse, “and they shall be afraid of you”, is also true for you. People will respect you. Your boss will favour you and even your competitors will esteem you highly. They know that there is something special about you because good things happen when you are around!
I experienced this blessing when I first started working. I worked in a small third-floor office which constantly smelled of salted fish because there was a salted fish stall on the ground floor. It was in that small, dingy office that I kept on confessing that I was blessed by the Lord. My boss knew that there was something different about me. In less than three years, my salary had risen quickly.
The company’s business flourished and before long, we moved out of that small office to a building which in the mid-eighties was an information technology hub. There, we occupied a couple of offices, and started specialising in computer software and courses. Soon, we occupied the entire floor! That was how much God was prospering us.
God was blessing me tremendously. I was drawing a very good monthly income, enjoying the favour of my boss and was in his inner circle. I was also slated for a promotion which would give me a five-figure salary!
A few years later, when I decided to go into full-time ministry, my boss cried when I broke the news to him. I never knew how much I meant to him until then. It was then that I realised what a blessing I had been to him by the grace of God.
Because you are also called by the name of the Lord, wherever you go, the blessing is on you. The people around you will look at you and know that you are a blessing going somewhere to happen!
