Provision
This story moved me. I choose to believe this so if you don't believe in grace and prosperity than dun bother talking me out of it.
The Excellent And The Plenty
Deuteronomy 28:44“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.”
Would you want to buy a chair that Jesus made? Yes, I would, even if it cost $1,000 because it would be of superb quality — whatever Jesus did, He did it perfectly.
And because Christ is in you, the things you produce will be of exceptional quality too. That includes your children who will be champions. Deuteronomy 28:4 says, “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks”. God was using terms that the Israelites understood since they were farmers and shepherds. Today, “your ground” is the place of your work. This means that “the produce” of your work shall be excellent in quality.
But that is not all. God promises that quantity will always follow quality because Deuteronomy 28:11 says that the Lord will “grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body,” which means that you will have plenty of children, “in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground,” which means that your business will flourish and you will be a leading producer in the area of your speciality.
My friend, your excellence and plenty do not come by your efforts. They come by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who paid for your prosperity — “though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich”. (2 Corinthians 8:9)
Jesus was made destitute of all material things at the cross. In fact, I don’t believe that the Roman soldiers gave Him the courtesy of even a loincloth. He had nothing! As He hung on the cross, He watched the Roman soldiers gambling for His robe. His last possession on earth was gambled away. He became poor, so that you would be blessed with the excellent and the plenty!
