Deuteronomy 28:12
12 The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
In
the Bible, rain usually speaks of blessings. Even today, Israelis thank
God when it rains because they know that when He gives them rain, their
blessings will be plentiful. Their cattle will feed in large green
pastures and eat cured, winnowed fodder. And when they see rivers and
streams of water flowing from their mountains and hills (Isaiah
30:23–25), they know that times of refreshing have come.
Likewise, you can expect God to rain
His blessings on you and bless the work of your hands. Then, you will
come to a place where you will “lend to many nations, but you shall not
borrow”. In fact, Jesus wants you to know that this is a blessing which
He died to give you because when He died, He did not even have a tomb of
His own. He was laid in a borrowed tomb, so that you can have the power to lend.
Indeed, our church bears testimony to
this blessing. When I first joined the church full-time, it was very
small — about 100-odd members. The Lord has, however, rained His
blessings on us and blessed the work of our hands. Today, we have a
congregation of more than 24,000 members and we are still growing. In
fact, our church is lending its support to many ministries, both locally
and overseas. We continue to see God pouring His blessings of
prosperity and increase on us, and we thank Him for all the good things
that are happening to us.
My friend, there is nothing you can
do about the rain but to let it fall. So just expect God to rain His
blessings on you! Let them fall! And you will be blessed with more than
enough, so that with your needs and your family’s needs more than met,
you can be a blessing to others too!
