23 Mar You Are Blessed By The Lord
Pastor Vincent - 9 January 2014
Right Before God, Unity With Brethren
What is delightful in God's eyes is always a sore in Satan's eyes. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! (Psalm 133:1 NIV). While God loves His children to live in harmony and grow in love towards one another, Satan hates it to the core and tries to stop. As a result, misunderstandings, distrust, suspicions and Pharisaical issues arise even within churches. While it is a difficult battle to fight, for evil and cunning is the thief who works through all ways to steal away the peace and joy of children of God. But to children of God, He always provides a way out. When things get messy and out of hands, look to Him and seek Him carefully. Continue to dwell in His word, meditate and confirm it repeatedly until it becomes the unshakeable anchor point in your life. When you look to the Word with a believing heart, the Word gives you a God-revering spirit, a spirit that is fertile to the guidance of Holy Spirit. Learn from Phinehas confrontation and defense of the Eastern Tribe in Joshua 22. When we want to be right before God first, the leading of Holy Spirit will do His work in uniting the brethren's in love and grace, leaving no foothold for Satan.

“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
