Proverbs 6
Deuteronomy 28
Malachi 3
16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem His name. 17 “They will be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” 18 So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
Malachi 3:16-18
The Lord says,
Fill up the storehouses. You fill up the storehouses with what you have in your hand, and I will add to it. I will bless those who diligently seek Me. I will bless those who honor My Name. As you put your hands to work, I will bless the labor. I will bring the fruit, and I will multiply the grain of your storehouses. You get to work. You be diligent and wise with what you produce. I will be the one to cause it to prosper and grow. I will add to it, and I will cause it to multiply.
8 The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 28:8
Fear not the crop destroyer nor the vermin that infiltrate barns to steal. Fear not. They will have no entry to your fields nor to your storehouses. Seek Me for all wisdom, and I will give it unsparingly. You get to the work of filling your storehouses. Watch Me bless and multiply the work of your hands, even in the midst of a drought. Even in the midst of a barren time, I will bless your work and I will cause your storehouses to be filled and to continue to multiply.
11 The Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Deuteronomy 28:11-12
This is a season of multiplication for those who love the Lord. This is a a season of working as diligently as an ant. This is a season of going above and beyond and watching Me do exceedingly more than you can ask, think or imagine. This is a season of abundance and being blessed in the wilderness, in a barren time, when all the fields look desolate.
6 Go to the ant, O sluggard,
Proverbs 6:6-8
Observe her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no chief,
Officer or ruler,
8 Prepares her food in the summer
And gathers her provision in the harvest.
Look to the rock from which you were hewn. You are a child of the Most High King, whom or what shall you fear? Do I not provide abundantly for My children? Do I not cause the works of their hands to bear an exceedingly great quality and abundant fruit? Seek Me for wisdom. Seek My heart and My ways, and I will indeed fill your storehouses. I will multiply what you bring in, and I will protect all that you have from the destroyer and the thief.
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. 11 Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts. 12 “All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:10-12
Bring the tithe into the storehouses, and I will abundantly bless you. The tithe protects you from the destroyer and the thief. Forsake not the tithe, and watch as My protection covers all you have and even causes it to multiply. Position yourself for protection and blessing.
9 The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10 So all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you.
Deuteronomy 28:9-10
Trust and obey. You rest in Me. Put your trust in Me, and you will not be shaken. I will cause you to prosper like an oasis in the desert. It is My good pleasure to do so. Cast your cares on Me. Leave anxiety and worry behind. I will not only make a way where there is no way, but I will bless you with abundance and prosperity in the desert place.
