You Are Blessed By The Lord

You Are Blessed By The Lord

God Is Worthy To Be Praised

How are you looking at yourself today? As a child of God, redeemed by God with a heavy price through the Holy Son Jesus Christ, do we still often look at ourselves through our naked eyes and feelings that fluctuate today? When Zechariah's heart started to grow cold towards the promise of God because of the many unfulfilled prayers, God was still faithful and preparing the greatest blessing for him that transcended all his physical conditions - a blessed son, John the baptist. Like Zechariah, we also often lose hope in God in various circumstances, for we are always deceived into seeing ourselves outside the covenant, and narrow-mindedly, when God is still working mightily at the background to carry His perfect will to completion through our conditions. Despite our narrow-mindedness, Holy spirits is still empowering us both strongly and passively so that we will not lose faith. If we start to pray according to the truth today, we will be guided by the Holy Spirit again to look at ourselves through the lens of God and His covenant, instead of our micro circles of thoughts, emotions and desires today. Indeed God is worthy to be praised, not only "did He rescue us from the hand of our enemies, He also enables us to serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.”

“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
