23 Mar You Are Blessed By The Lord
Deacon Hui Zhen - 5 June 2014
The Covenant Of God, Foundation Of Our Faith
The reason why we always fall back on our own strength, wits and ways to live our lives is because we have not truly understood and confirmed that the God we claim to know is indeed a true and living God, one who creates us to love us. Yet it is a journey of repeated confirming through all things that are happening in our lives, because God is always constantly revealing Himself to us through our experiences, especially failures. God was always revealing to Abraham his entire lifetime, even when he was ignorant of God's covenant; similarly, God is also doing the same thing to us today, always revealing to us through our encounters, failures and people in our lives. When we continue to seek God's presence and see how He is always inscribing the covenant deeper and deeper into our hearts, only then we will be bound by Him and desire to follow Him and live by the Spirit.

“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
