THE LAMP DEVOTION

Deuteronomy 28:15-18
15 “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: 16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. 17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. 18 “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

The curse Adam invited in continues to move on the face of the earth. That explains the many disasters we encounter occasionally. Some of the effects of the curse attempt to come at us on a personal level. These are the ones we can escape, and God has instructed us on how to live outside both the curse and their effects.
God says obedience to His commands will surely keep us out of trouble. God has vowed that all who obey His commandments shall not wallow in trouble. For as long as we live in this fallen world, we are bound to encounter some challenges; but the righteous will not spend his life in the valley of troubles.
Come to think of it, there is no real mystery to obeying the command and its rewards. God said, “you shall not kill”. If you flout this commandment and turn yourself into a killer for whatever reason, you automatically make yourself public enemy number one, and your very existence is on the line. There will be people who will vow that for as long as they live, you will not live.
Moving away from all these vices keeps you out of trouble. Be wise and stay out of
lifestyles that attract curses and their effects.

Prayer
1. Thank God that He always wants to bless you beyond your imagination.
2. Pray for wisdom to move away from lifestyles that invoke curses.
3. Father, please help me to walk in Your commandments and statutes and remain safe.

Declarations
I declare that I am a candidate of God’s blessings. I am blessed and highly favored beyond measure. There is no way I want to leave all that and place myself under a curse. I have the Holy Spirit living in me and He will enable me to obey God every step of the way. I declare by divine authority that I live a life blessings and not curses in the name of Jesus.
