DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes that God's treasury is accessible to all
believers, not just great prophets, as promised in Deuteronomy 28:12. He
illustrates that the rain symbolizes the divine blessings and
refreshment God is ready to bestow upon His people. Spurgeon encourages
the faithful to seek and claim their portion of God's treasures,
assuring them that if they abide in Christ, their requests will be
granted. He reminds believers that they have yet to fully experience the
richness of God's covenant, but through obedience and faith, they will
receive deeper revelations of His love and blessings. Ultimately, the
sermon calls for a diligent response to God's voice to unlock the
fullness of His treasures.

The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure. (Deuteronomy 28:12)

This refers first to the rain. The Lord will give this in its season.
Rain is the emblem of all those celestial refreshings which the Lord is
ready to bestow upon His people. Oh, for a copious shower to refresh the
Lord's heritage!

We seem to think that God's treasury can only be opened by a great
prophet like Elijah, but it is not so, for this promise is to all the
faithful in Israel, and, indeed, to each one of them. O believing
friend, "the Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure." Thou, too,
mayest see heaven opened and thrust in thy hand and take out thy
portion, yea, and a portion for all thy brethren round about thee. Ask
what thou wilt, and thou shalt not be denied if thou abidest in Christ
and His words abide in thee.

As yet thou has not known all thy Lord's treasures, but He shall open
them up to thine understanding. Certainly thou hast not yet enjoyed the
fullness of His covenant riches, but He will direct thine heart into His
love and reveal Jesus in thee. Only the Lord Himself can do this for
thee; but here is His promise, and if thou wilt hearken diligently unto
His voice and obey His will, His riches in glory by Christ Jesus shall
be thine.
