The commanded blessing

WORDs of Saving Grace - the commanded blessing

Psalms 133:3  As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

What if you knew one absolute certain fact where God would bless the work of the congregation in your church?

We can never force God's hand to bless our efforts or motives; but there is one certain Way that He has promised to bless, and that is unity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is the unity in the doctrine of Christ where God's annointing works greatest. Even in the old testament types of this unity were shown to the world that unity brings the blessing of God.

Joshua 6:16  And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

Judges 7:20  And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

This same unity came on the day of Pentacost when they were all in One Accord. This is when the fullness of the true Pentacost occured. 50 days after passover. Remember the resurrected LORD had shown Himself to them for 40 days of these 50.

Acts 2:1-2

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Truly when there is unity in the great and amazing work of the cross ( without adding to it, or taking from it ) there will be God's commanded blessing.
