You who were once in a condition of never receiving salvation, have been made a child of God. Furthermore, He has given you a status and authority that can never be destroyed. God has also given you the blessing of abiding in His Word no matter how much you deny it and try to flee. That’s why you must properly hold onto the Word and obey it before doing good deeds and hard work.

1. You Must Enjoy Rightful and Inevitable Blessings
Moses wrote down the Word of God’s grace that led the Israelites to the promised land, the God of salvation who sent the offspring of a woman, and the God who sent the ark to protect Noah from the Nephilim’s curse. If you imprint and enjoy these rightful blessings, you’ll see inevitable answers, just like the Israelites who left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea on the day when they offered the blood sacrifice.

2. You Must Enjoy Absolute Blessings and Your Status
The Ark of the Covenant means absolute blessings. Through those blessings, the Israelites were able to maintain their lives centered on the Three Feasts, the Tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and the tent as they walked on the harsh wilderness path. It was also very important for them to enjoy the status of being God’s chosen people because saving lives was their mission.

If you’re in the Word, God’s blessings will come upon your children; the posterity; and all the fields that are related to you. Even if you encounter enemies, they’ll flee in seven different ways. You must long for and obey the power of the Word every day.

Dear God, thank you for saving me and giving me the mission to save lives. Help me to always enjoy the rightful; inevitable, and absolute blessings found in Your Word. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
