The Three Blessings

Isaac had to die on Mt. Moriah; however, God saved him by preparing a ram. In the same way, you had to die because of "Original Sin," but God had already prepared Christ. This Gospel was imprinted in Isaac, (Genesis 22:1-19) and this will determine your life. Now, all you have to do is hold onto the accurate covenant; discover God's will; and enjoy worship and prayer. In doing so, God will send the armies of angels, (Psalm 103:20-22) In order to hold onto the accurate covenant, you must follow the streams of the Word, prayer, and evangelism which are the answers of Calvary, the Mt. of Olives, and Mark's upper room. That was why Paul set everything from Acts 13:1~4, 16:6-10, and 19:1~7.
1. At This Time, What God Has Prepared Will Come as the Answer (Genesis 26:10~22)
In order to do missions, God will give you a hundredfold of the blessings just as He did for Isaac. Ahead of time, God promised that He would make Abraham into a great nation; (Genesis 12:2) make his offspring as countless as the dust of the earth; (Genesis 13:16) make the son born from Sarah become the heir; (Genesis 15:5) and give the covenant for generations to keep. (Genesis 17:9) Later, Isaac was taken up to Mt. Moriah where God said, “Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, and your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies." At that time, both Abraham and Isaac simultaneously became imprinted. (Genesis 22:13-19)
2. From That Point On, the Answer of Gaining the Source of Fresh Water Came (Genesis 26:19)
When you hold onto the accurate covenant, the works of receiving the source of fresh water will begin. God made Isaac wealthy and prosperous, and also restored the wells that Abraham had dug. Countless hardships and problems may come, and you may become the one whom others envy and become jealous of. However, that didn't happen for you to fight, but it means that God will give you the source. Like Isaac, when many hardships; feelings of envy and jealousy; and problems come, then you mustn't fight; instead, He will give you the source.
3. The More Important Aspect Is to Prepare for the Future (Genesis 26:20-22)
Passing through the regions of Esek and Sitnah, God gave Isaac the blessing of Rehoboth. Although many problems and conflicts arose because of the fresh water wells, God gave Rehoboth. As for you, whenever problems come, ask God what He has prepared and discover the source. If issues arise that cause quarrels with others, just receive the further expanding blessing of Rehoboth. These are the blessings that you must receive.
The reason why you must receive blessings is to do world evangelization. God knows whether or not you're holding onto the covenant. In fact, other people and even Satan know.
Dear God, may the Gospel be imprinted in me, and may I hold onto the accurate covenant. Within my occupation, may I gain the blessing of a hundredfold, the source of fresh water, and the answer of Rehoboth. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
