The Triple Blessing of the Triune God

UV 359/10,000 The three fold blessing of the Triune God Deuteronomy 32 v 13 Deu 32:13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock The Triune God gives us a triple blessing of body, mind and spirit: of promotion, of material and financial increase and of spiritual noursishment and growth. His blessings are always wholesome and holistic. He will cause us to ride on the high places of the earth: this is a reference to the positions the Lord has reserved for us in our professions. When we believe the Word and receive Christ into our life as Lord and Saviour , we are declared the meek of the earth and the meek shall inherit the earth. The high places of the earth are our inheritance. We need to pray that Kingdom people occupy the high places in the nations of the world that the earth be blessed. The second promise is the promise of increase in material and financial prosperity. He will bless His children in small measure and big measure in due time. Our focus should not be on material blessings. At the same time, we should not ignore this or act as if it is unimportant. The Lord knows what substance His children need and will provide for it. We must be spiritually mature to be thankful and grateful for the financial and material blessings the Lord gives us. The honey out of the rock and oil out of the flinty rock stand for spiritual growth and blessings. The Rock is a metaphor for Jesus. The honey out of the rock is the sweet and precious promises of God that are guaranteed us in Christ Jesus. The oil out of the flinty rock is a reference to the anointing we receive from the Lord as we follow Him and walk in faith. Prateep V Philip
