23 Mar You Are Blessed By The Lord
Pastor Vincent - 9 October 2014
Let The Kingdom Of God Come Upon Us And Through Us
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17 NIV) While we wait upon the second coming of our Lord, God does not want us to stare blankly ahead of time and feel powerless and helpless today. Instead, Lord calls us to live in His kingdom today. This kingdom is not about eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. When one is living in the will of God now (righteousness), kingdom is in his midst and he will see the leading of God in ways he can never imagine. In all our relationships, career, finance and family living, do we enjoy this kingdom today in the most normal and routine daily lives? If we cannot, we need to go into deep prayers to confirm the values of this unseen treasure. We will never feel secured if we are not God-reliant and put all our conditions for the kingdom purpose.

“Blessed by God”, yet our circumstances do not seem to match this? What is the definition of “blessing”? How would a child of God be blessed? The truth is, believers of Jesus are indeed blessed, yet whenever we lose the assurance of Immanuel (God with us), we will lose the joy and power that we should rightfully enjoy. Though God’s blessings also include outward tangible ones, we cannot simply define divine blessings by those. Trials and divine discipline are also God’s ways of blessing and loving us. Through this sermon, let us confirm God’s blessings once again.
Verses to Read: <Gen 26:1-6; 12-16; 19-29>
1. Though blessed by God, we are still weak.
1) Problem: Lose assurance of Immanuel (God with us).
2) Good news: God came to seek the lost sinner.
2. Blessed people surely have blessed evidences.
1) Outward evidences <v12-14>
2) God’s assured promises <v3-4>
3) Sure and quick consequences when commit sins <v7-10>
4) Trials
3. Response of a blessed person.
1) Forgive
2) Give in
3) Set apart
