Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
- Psalm 112:1-3.
The man or woman, that takes great delight in the commandments of the Lord is called blessed. Same way anything and anyone that goes against God's commandment is cursed "destiny for destruction".
What are the things that goes against the commandment of God? They are numerous, but in a single word anything that is not done in "love" is against God's commandment and as such it incurs curses instead of blessing.
Just to state an example, if you are in a company of person(s) that encourages stealing; it does not matter from where or whom. Even if the person is a very close colleague, close friend, relative or even circumstances. Do yourselves the favour and distance yourself from them. Stealing of any sort incurs curse, not just on the person that did it, though it opens or take away the defence of the person, it also exposes his or her family for the enemy to attack (the devil is man's number one enemy). Zechariah 5:3-4, James 1:14-15.
But, in keeping His commandments, God ensures that your seed becomes mighty upon the earth, with wealth and riches, and is righteous at the same time, Psalm 112:2-3, states this,
"His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever."
We will be tempted, but He has promised us to deliver us from the temptations, so that the temptations do not overwhelm us, but we must put up a fight of resistance, if we must succeed, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
Have a fruitful week.
Jesus is Lord!
