Boundaries
Deuteronomy 8:7-9 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
God is revealing His prophetic message and promising to full fill in 2012 for His Children…
By the Help of Holy Spirit, we could mediate the blessings of God in 2012, in 3 parts…
Part -1: Vs. 7 – To live within the Boundaries
Part -2: Vs.8 – Blessings (7 fold blessings -Food Products)
Part -3:Vs.9 – Bountifulness/prosperity
1. We have to learn to live within the boundaries of God’s
The passage is talking about a literal piece of land, a land that has specific borders, and a land that the children of Israel were to dwell in (see Exodus 3:8, Numbers 13:27, Joshua 15-17).
- Follow God’s principles -Remember the LORD Your God…then we starts to live within out boundaries. Deut 8:6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Joshua 1:4-5 ‘From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.’
Result: No one shall able to stand before them….
Deut 1:8 ‘See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.’
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, and here you are today, as the stars of heaven in multitude. 11May the LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as He has promised you!
- By putting God’s principles into practice
Deut 8:1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.
Remember… For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land! It’ not on our ability but His grace/favor…
Today in the name of Jesus we have made prosperous + by the blood of Jesus we have made victorious + by His Spirit made us righteousness & likeness of Jesus…
- Enlarge your vision… Vision brings passion
Deut 1:7-8 Turn and take your journey, and go to the mountains of the Amorites… See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.’
Example: 1 Chor 4:9-10, Jabez prayed that God would enlarge his borders/territory. Jabez was from the tribe of Judah, which was the ruling class among the Hebrews. To increase his territory meant that his people would have more area to live in and that he would have more people to serve as a leader. He was not thinking of himself, he was thinking about the welfare of others. A leader is a servant of other people. Jabez wanted to be used by God more than anything else.
