NOTES FROM SUNDAY SERMON:
"What Are You Doing With The Life That God Gave You?"
Pastor Elijah Walker
Proverbs 12:25, 17:22
12:25
Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
We should live one day at a time and not worry about tomorrow. Someone who says nice things to others makes them have a glad heart.
17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
We are dead bones in trespasses and sins until God gives us new life.
Deuteronomy 28:1-8
1. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
They will receive the blessings, if they keep God's commandments, and if they earnestly listen and heed God's Word.
2. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
It means to hear intelligently. The voice of the LORD thy God is the spoken Word.
3. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
This just says that wherever you are, if you are obedient to God, God can pour His blessing out on you in the field or in town.
4. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
The fruit of thy body is speaking of just that.This promises their children will come into this world with no defects. It is also saying their blessings will be on their children as well. The land will not withhold from them. If they keep God's commandments, it will not be cursed for them. It will produce abundantly. Their animals will produce greatly as well. They will be healthy animals too.
5. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
This is just saying, they will have an abundance of food.
6. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
This is saying that every moment of the day, going and coming, will be blessed.
7. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
Even though the enemy come against them, they will turn in fear and run away, when they see that God is protecting them.
8. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
This is just saying, their storehouses will be full to overflowing. There will be no need in the land. Everything they do will be blessed of God.
