Today, we are called
by the name of Christ---Christ-ians.
Therefore, the blessings of Deuteronomy 28:10, which says, “Then all
peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord” is
no longer just a promise but reality!
The second part of the
verse—“and they shall be afraid of you”—is also true for you. People will
respect you. Your boss will favor you and even your competitors will esteem you
highly. They know that there is something special about you because good things
happen when you are around!
I experienced this
blessing when I first started working. I worked in a small third-floor office
which constantly smelled of salted fish because there was a salted fish stall
on the ground floor. It was in that small, dingy office that I kept on
confessing that I was blessed by the Lord, and I experienced divine favor with
my clients. My boss could see that there was something different about me.
The company’s business
flourished and before long, we moved out of that small office to a building
which in the mid-eighties was considered an information technology hub. There,
we occupied a couple of offices, and started specializing in computer software
and courses. Soon, we occupied the entire floor! That was how much God was
prospering us.
God was also blessing
me tremendously. I was drawing a very good monthly income, enjoying the favor
of my boss and was in his inner circle. A few years later, I decided to go into
full-time ministry. When I broke the news to my boss, he cried. I never knew
how much I meant to him until then. It was only then that I realized what a
blessing I had been to him by the grace of God.
Beloved, because you
are also called by the name of the Lord, wherever you go, you are a blessing.
His blessing is on you. The people around you will look at you and know that
you are a blessing going somewhere to happen!
