ACTIVATING A WORD OF PROPHECY

JUNE 16TH

Text: Deuteronomy 28:1-8 King James Version (KJV)
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:
2.    And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
3.     Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
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.
5.    Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6.     Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
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.
8.    The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy store houses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lordthy God giveth thee.

It is always a thing of great joy to receive a word of prophecy promising us great and glorious things, but not many of us know how to position ourselves to see it come to pass.
When someone gets a prophecy, what he does between that time and the supposed time of its fulfillment, does play a crucial role in its fulfillment or not. So, it is not just enough to say “Amen” to a prophetic declaration. After the declaration, it is time to align your life with the conditions in the word of God that will activate the fulfillment of that prophecy in your life.

From our text for today, we are introduced into the glorious blessing our heavenly Father has in store for his children. These promises are so weighty and reassuring but we need to pay attention to the opening statements of this text. A closer look at verse 1 and 2 will reveal to you that there are conditions attached to these blessings. The word “if” there tells you that there are conditions that you have to meet to become eligible for these promises.
We are expected to listen diligently to the voice of the Lord and become very observant to see that we do all his commands. This is where most people miss it. When they heard the prophecy, they went to sleep thinking because it has been declared it will come to pass no matter what.
Please be wise. When you get a word of prophecy for your life, it is time to get to work. Do everything to keep watch over your heart and become sensitive to be able to line up with heaven’s agenda.
God has great and glorious promises waiting to be made manifest for you, don’t let them go unfulfilled by your carelessness. Stand on the promises of God and keep standing and you will see every one of them become a great reality.
