Title Blessed Saints Prosper / Genesis 26:12-16
Contents Blessed saints prosper/Genesis 26:12-16
How can we express all the grace of God we have received in words?
However, we do know three very apt words to describe God's grace past, present and future.
* One of them is Ebenezer - God has guided and helped us up to this point.
This is a grace bestowed in the past.
* Then Immanuel - God is with us.
This is the present grace.
* Next, Jehovah's unusual practice - God is preparing.
This is a grace that will be bestowed upon you in the future.
Ebenezer / Immanuel / Jehovah’s unusual grace, this wonderful grace of God
Today, on the first Sunday of the new year, I pray in the name of the Lord that it will be a blessing for all of us who are holding the New Year's Thanksgiving service.
It is predicted that 2007 will be a more difficult year for both politics and economy than any other year.
However, we, Yonsei Church members, raise our hands and bless them that God will make them prosper just like the Isaac mentioned in today's sermon, so that they can achieve a hundredfold fruition, become prosperous and prosperous, and finally be established as a strong church as blessed saints recognized by God.
What is our church's motto for this year?
“Blessed saints, strong church”.
What is the title of today's first Sunday sermon?
“Blessed saints prosper”
I bless you in the word of the Lord that you all become blessed saints who prosper.
There are three major divisions of prosperity in the Bible.
The first is the prosperity of all things because of the prosperity of the soul as mentioned in 3 John 1:2.
(3 John 1:2) Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, as your soul prospers.
When the soul prospers, all things prosper. And it's strong.
So first, the soul must be well.
The second is prosperity that transcends the circumstances mentioned in Psalm 1:3.
(Psalm 1:3) He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; all its events prosper.
Prosperity that transcends these circumstances is to prosper no matter how dark or bright the prospect is, no matter what the world is, and whatever circumstances and conditions are with God.
The third is the existential prosperity described in Genesis 39:3.
(Genesis 39:3) And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and he saw that the LORD prospered in all things.
With God's presence, Joseph became a very prosperous person. So wherever he goes, whatever he does, he prospers.
In the new year of 2007, I pray in the name of the Lord that all of you may prosper in all things because your souls prosper, transcend circumstances, and become very prosperous beings, so that wherever you do and whatever you do, the door of prosperity will be wide open.
Prosper - Prosper - Prosper - Amen
In order to become such a prosperous person, we must live according to the laws that God allows us to prosper, not following people, not following the world's circumstances.
I would like to introduce the five laws of prosperity that God has spoken to all of you who start the new year. Today I will tell you about two of them.
1. The first is the law of God's Word.
In Joshua 1:8, God says:
(Joshua 1:8) Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth, but meditate on it day and night, and observe all that is written in it, so that you may prosper, and your way will be smooth.
Here are the three enactments of the law of God's Word.
First, it says, “Do not let it depart from your mouth.”
what do you mean? It is to read the word of God.
I want you to experience the grace of God.
I hope that prayers will be answered, sicknesses will be healed, and problems will be resolved.
But then, the thing we must not forget is to read the words “Do not let the word of God depart from your mouth.”
There is a Bible reading table in the faith bankbook you received at the last Songgu-Young-Sin worship service. Please complete the first reading of the Bible this year so that you can mark them all.
The second | is to “meditate”.
Psalm 1:2-3 says that those who delight in the word of God and meditate on it prosper.
(Psalm 1:2-3) But he delights in the law of the LORD, and meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither, and all his deeds prosper.
That's why I encourage you to read Life of Life every month.
Don't meditate on anything else. Don't meditate on the words who made me sad. Don't meditate on soap operas, no matter how fun they are, they don't make us successful. Those who meditate on the Word of God prosper.
The third is to “keep everything and do it”.
After reading and meditating on the Word, you must keep it.
The ultimate goal of reading and meditating on the Word is not to receive grace and be moved. It is a willful decision and adherence to action. is to practice it. to live as it is.
That is why Revelation 1:3 says:
(Rev 1:3) Blessed are those who read and hear the words of this prophecy, and those who keep what is written in them, for the time is near.
Those who read the Word, meditate on it, and keep it and practice it are blessed with prosperity.
I hope you all live by the law of this Word.
All of you will be blessed and prosperous saints.
The second is the law of our language.
Isaiah 55:11.
(Isa 55:11) The word that goes out of my mouth will not return to me in vain; it will accomplish my will and prosper in the work for which I sent it.
Our Heavenly Father's word is power.
So the words of his children come with power.
What does “pay off a thousand debts with a single word” mean?
Words have power.
If this kind of power is shown in the words of ordinary people, how much power will be shown in the words of our children of God?
In particular, the church is a community of words. Preaching is also spoken. Prayer is also spoken. Praise is also spoken. Evangelism is also spoken. So, in church, you have to be good at speaking.
In any case, say something positive, say thank you, say something encouraging, and say something religious.
So, do you remember the words that made us happy and prosperous during the last Songgu Youngshin service? There is power in those words. Those words create miracles.
Those words will make us prosperous this year, if not continuously, and make us the Blessed Saints.
What do you mean first?
1. I love you.
Then 2. Thank you. 3. I'm sorry. 4. I will try. 5. It will be fine.
6. I will pray. 7. The Lord is with you.
I wish you all success with the words of creating these seven great miracles.
Two Laws of Prosperity to Become a Blessed Saint
The first is the law of God's Word.
Please do not let the word depart from your mouth.
Read the Word every day. He said that those who read are blessed.
Meditate on it. Blessed are those who delight in the Word and meditate on it day and night. He said that all his events would prosper.
I was told to keep it. He said that your way will be smooth and prosperous.
The second is the law of our language.
There is power in our words. Because we are children of God.
Always say positive things, say thank you, say things of encouragement, and say things of faith.
A miracle happens in those words.
This year, I pray in the name of the Lord that you will all prosper in all things by living according to the laws of God's Word and the laws of our language, and that you will prosper beyond the environment and become blessed saints who become very prosperous beings.
