Ultimate Care Devotional💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2022Today’s Theme: ⛪ OBEDIENCE LEADS TO PROSPERITY“And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered”Text: 2 Chronicles 31:21MESSAGE🍎This is no unusual occurrence in life, it is the general rule of the moral universe that those men prosper who do their work with all their hearts, while those are almost certain to fail who go to their labour leaving half their hearts behind them.God does not give harvests to idle men except harvests of thistles, nor is he pleased to send wealth to those who will not dig in the field to find its hid treasure.It is universally confessed that if a man would prosper, he must be diligent in business ( Proverbs 22:29).“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” (Proverbs 22:29)It is the same in religion as it is in other things. If you would prosper in your work for Jesus, let it be heart work, and let it be done with all your heart. Put as much force, energy, heartiness, and earnestness into religion as ever you do into business, for it deserves far more.The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities (Romans 8:26), but he does not encourage our idleness; he loves active believers.Who are the most useful men in the Christian church?The men who do what they undertake for God with all their hearts.Who are the most successful born again believers today?The most talented? No; the most zealous; the men whose hearts are on fire, those are the men who see their Lord riding forth prosperously in the majesty of his salvation.Whole-heartedness shows itself in perseverance; there may be failure at first, but the earnest worker will say, “It is the Lord’s work, and it must be done; my Lord has bidden me do it, and in his strength I will accomplish it.” Christian, art thou thus “with all thine heart” serving thy Master?Remember the earnestness of Jesus! Think what heart-work was his!He could say, “The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up (Psalm 69:9).”When he sweat great drops of blood, it was no light burden he had to carry upon those blessed shoulders; and when he poured out his heart, it was no weak effort he was making for the salvation of his people.Was Jesus in earnest, and are we lukewarm?We as believers today must work the works of God for blessings to flow upon us as Jesus had declared in John 9:4.“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”.We must earnestly contend for the faith laid before us.“Beloved, when me gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 1:3)We must serve God in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24), then reap bountiful harvest of blessings (Hebrews 6:10)“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye has shewed toward his name, in that ye has ministered to the saints, and do minister”.Beloved whatever we do for God, is for our good that we may reap if we faint not. My prayer is that may you be faithful to God who is faithful (Deuteronomy 7:9) and reap the benefits of redemption, the riches of his glory, in Jesus mighty name, amen.PRAYERS🍎Heavenly Father, I thank you for your love and care over my life and family. I am quite grateful for finding me worthy to be part of the kingdom. I pray for grace to do your will, and strength to serve you to the end.Father, my times are in thy hand, encourage me to do your blessed will and help me to stand within thy covenant concerning my life and destiny in Jesus mighty name, Amen.Father, this day I decree, whatever I touch to do will prosper. Prosper my life, soul and spirit and connect me to the realm of blessings.You had promised Abraham that in blessings, you will bless him.Father, bless me this day and make my life a blessing and help me to stay within thy covenant of blessings in Jesus name, Amen.FURTHER READING:DEUTERONOMY 8:1.
