Title Blessing Formula
formula of blessing
Deuteronomy 28:1-6
06. 2. 19, morning
The secret to being blessed also has a formula.
1. Believe in Jesus and you will be saved. If you believe in Jesus, you are in heaven; if you do not believe in Jesus, you are in hell.
2. Be obedient and you will be blessed. Obedience is a blessing, disobedience is a curse.
3. Realize it and you will be blessed. If you realize it, it is a blessing, but if you do not realize it, you will only be beaten.
4. Pray and you will be answered. If you pray, you will receive answers and problems will be solved, but if you do not pray, you will not receive answers and problems will not be solved.
Please memorize this formula. It's all you know. From now on, remember this formula and apply it in your life. If you do, you will surely receive God's blessing.
A. Conditions of Blessing (Verses 1-2)
The Bible simply describes the conditions of blessing in three ways.
1. Listen carefully
Please listen positively. Please don't listen negatively.
“I have already prayed for God to give me a large church. In answer to that prayer, the church is now burned down. We have to demolish and rebuild a large church, but God wants to avoid the cost of burning the building down by burning it down. "
"I didn't come out with checks and money. But I came out with the Bible, God's treasury, which never runs out. So you'll soon see a bigger and better church than the burnt one."
“I give thanks to the Lord, for you have created me so wonderfully that my soul knows well your marvels.”
Receive the Word by faith. Do not disbelieve or doubt. Believe the word as the almighty promise of God. Please give up your humanistic beliefs.
2. Keep God's commandments and do them (verse 1)
God's word must be kept. Listen and don't miss it. One day, two disciple candidates came to the famous Saint Francis of Assisi, who volunteered to become a disciple of this teacher. “I want to become a disciple of the teacher and cultivate the discipline of faith.”
To these candidates, Saint Prince of Assisi made this request. “If you go out to that field, there are a lot of cabbages. Take them and plant them with the roots facing the sky.” One person takes the cabbage and leaves without saying a word. One laughed, saying, "Haha, this saint has been practicing his way here for a long time, but he's really turned around."
But why did Saint Francis of Assisi make such an unreasonable request? Do you have the qualities of a servant in this person's heart and life to be obedient to this person? This is what Francis wanted to see. A new lesson for Christians to learn is that of obedience.
Watching and listening is life. Otherwise, it is death. Adam and Eve's disobedience is death. You must listen to the word in absolute terms. If we do not keep it, the death of Eden will come to us as well. You have to keep and act as if you were living only when you entered the ark.
3. Obey God's Word (verse 2) // Be faithful with joy.
Obedience is a confession of faith. That is, we can obey God's Word by faith. Obedience is doing it with joy.
serving with joy
Giving with joy
preaching with joy
to be loyal with joy
Giving your life with joy!!
Solomon, known as the King of Wisdom, visited the temple construction site one day and looked after the workers. "Why do you work here?"
One worker answered. "Ah, I didn't learn anything, and I'm doing this because I can't die trying to live like this." After a while, I asked another worker the same thing. The worker said, "The only thing I learned about stealing is working, so can I play and eat? It's just a matter of spending a year."
After some time, the king asked the same question to a young man working in worn-out clothes. "Why are you working here? I'm almost dying of joy. Now, look, I'm not building a temple with my own hands that reveals the glory of the kingdom of heaven on this earth, right? It is a story that shows the huge difference between those who work with a vocation and those who do not, to accomplish great things even though it is a small part of the temple.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Humbert's book “The Emissary at Galsha” in the American publishing and magazine industry caused a sensation in the century. As soon as the book was published, it was distributed as a textbook to cadets of the Army and Navy in Japan, Russia, and the United States, and was translated into 30 languages. The story took place during the war between the Spanish and the United States.
President McKinley of the United States has to send a secret letter to Galsha, the commander of the guerrilla unit that infiltrates Cuba and conducts guerrilla operations, but no one knows where Galsha is. Therefore, it is not possible to deliver the secret letter.
However, the President of the United States gives a secret letter to the security lieutenant and orders Galsha to deliver the secret letter.
At that time, the complementary lieutenant
“Where is Galsha? ' He left without asking. In order to disguise himself and carry out his mission, he carries a secret letter deep in his chest and row a torn boat to arrive in Cuba after several days of hard work. But, not knowing where Galsha is, he wanders through jungles and jungles.
After wandering around, asking questions and trying hard, he finally meets Galsha.
And the secret letter is delivered safely.
The story of this work is when Bobo received the presidential order.
They didn't ask "Where is Galsha?" and just left. His thorough military spirit is greatly appreciated for the military spirit that absolutely obeys his orders. That's right. Obedience needs no other words or explanation.
There is no Why.
God has promised us all things. God said that if you do this, you will receive all blessings.
Even though Jesus was the Son of God, He finally entered the kingdom of resurrection and glory by obedience to the point of death.

(1) The blessing of the family (verse 3)
I used to receive blessings in the castle, but the blessings received in the castle mean the blessings of the family. Although there are many poor and happy families, there are many wealthy and unhappy families. In particular, there are countless unhappy elderly people who have many children and have nowhere to go to turn to. And living well is relative to the last, so we cannot be satisfied with living or eating. It is about living better than others.
(2) The blessing of children (verse 4)
Not all children are happy. On the contrary, there are countless instances of parents crying because of their children. However, if you say that not having something is a blessing, it is not like that. It is the blessing of those who have children to always bring joy to their parents without worrying about them.
(3) the blessing of wealth (verse 4)
Blessed will be the produce of the land, the young of the four beasts and the young of the sheep. This means that these youngsters do not die and grow well and their wealth increases gradually. So the joy of enjoying that wealth, this is the blessing of wealth. There are many people who have a lot of wealth, but because of it, they are mentally unhappy and troubled in their hearts.
(4) The blessing of health (verse 5)
He said that a basket and a bowl of bread dough would be blessed. In the old days, Koreans could not die and ate it. I ate it to survive. But people in countries like the United States eat food to enjoy, not to live. I enjoy eating while chatting for a long time. The diet of our country is also changing a lot to eat to enjoy rather than eat to live.
(5) Blessings of honor (verse 6)
You are blessed when you go in, and you are blessed when you go out. As Deuteronomy 28:13 says, it is a blessing that becomes the head but not the tail.
Dear saints,
We hope that our alumni will receive and enjoy the above 11 kinds of 5 blessings this year. To that end, I hope that you will become believers who listen to, keep, and obey the Word.
