FROM THIS DAY WILL I BLESS YOU .

 
 

December 2

Haggai 2:19 

Is the seed yet in the barn? yea,

as yet the vine, and the fig tree,

and the pomegranate, and the olive tree,

hath not brought forth:

from this day will I bless you. 

 
What a day?
 
The day we began to seek the Lord.
 
The day we decide to be on the Lord's side.
 
The day we publicly an honestly professed Him.
 
The day we heartily engage in His work.
 
The day we return from backsliding, and repent of our sins before Him.
 
The day we identify ourselves with His people in heart and soul.
 
What does the Lord's promise?
 
To bless us; He will bless our temporal mercies;
He will bless our trials;
  He will bless our labours;
    He will bless our families;
      He will bless our souls;
        He will bless us with delight
  -liberty
     -strength
         -peace
              -contentment
                       -and success.
 
Beloved, let us be decided for the Lord, and always walk in His ways.
 
Expect His blessing, for He has given you His word, and confirmed it with a solemn oath.
 
Be diligent in the use of all means.
 
Constantly look to Jesus as the only medium though which all blessing flow.
 
Plead this precious promise before thy God this morning, and many times to-day yea, and everyday; so shall thy peace be like a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
 
He will bless thee, and thou shall be a blessing.
 

Then let no care perplex me now;

My only wish and care be Thou,

Be Thou my sole delight;

Bid every sigh to rising thought,

And every pant of breath go out

For Jesus day and night.
