Blessed People
We would like to share the blessings of the Almighty in continuation of last newsletter. Blessings are on the head of the righteous.(Prov.10: 6). There shall be showers of blessings.(Ezek 34;26.)

Blessing of victory over enemies: All of us would like to be at peace with our fellow beings and want others to be good to us. There are circumstances when people misunderstand our thoughts and feelings and hurt us by words and deeds. It is in such times we are upset and feel bad for the situations; we really want to come out of such circumstances. In Matt.18: 15-17, Messiah says if you have anything against your brother, tell him his fault and if he listens to you, it is clarified and you can be at peace with one another. If he doesn’t listen, try to explain it in front of two or three witness. If he still doesn’t listen treat him as a heathen, because an unbeliever doesn’t accept things easily, there is no law in him. He has no conscience or is killing his inner spirit. (Prov.28: 5,9) and the Almighty does not like such people. And they are made for destruction. (Prov.16: 4) and their prayers are an abomination. (Prov.28: 9, Deut.28: 7)
Psalms.108: 13 teaches us that He is going to give victory over our enemies if we are righteous and listen to His words.
Prov.16: 7 says that if man’s ways please God, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.( Deut.23: 14.) The Lord your God (Yah) walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you. Therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.
If our lives are clean and pure, the Lord will dwell with us and there will be peace even with our enemies.

Blessing when you come in and go out: (Deut.28: 6) When you enter a house, you release peace and blessing into that house, because you believe that the Lord Almighty is with you and whatever words you speak will be fruitful and blessed. (Is.55: 11, Matt.10: 11-13,) (Prov.11: 10-11) The blessing of the upright the city is exalted and the city rejoices, i.e. when we go out of the house the Lord’s mighty hand leads us continually to bless all the people around us.(Prov.14: 11)Blessed is the house of the righteous, which flourishes, i.e. when he enters into his own house, he is blessed and prospers.

Blessing of our hard work: Every individual wants prosperity and riches, especially good people would like to do the work allotted to them with responsibility. When we work hard and are fruitful, we are blessed. Blessed is the man who eats the labor of his hands (Ps.128: 2.) The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and adds no sorrow to it. (Prov.10: 22) Labor of the righteous leads to life, i.e. prosperity (Prov.10: 16). In II Thes.3: 8-14. Paul exhorts all believers to work hard and eat the labor of it and not be burden to others. Some of them had become lazy, wasting their precious time and bringing dishonor to the Almighty. He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor but the hand of the diligent makes one rich. (Prov.10: 4) Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good that he may have something to give him that is in need.(Eph.4: 28).

Blessing of joy and happiness: Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing shall come again with rejoicing. (Ps.126: 5-6). Our sorrow is turned to joy, mourning into happiness.(John.16: 20) Blessed are those who mourn for
 they shall be comforted(Matt.5: 4) The oil of joy is given for mourning, the garment of praise for spirit of heaviness(Is.61: 3) These verses explain that the blessing of joy is given to those who are in sorrow. The kingdom of God (Yah) is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. If we enjoy these blessings we are in His kingdom, i.e. His presence even on this earth (Rom.14: 17)

Changing all curses to blessings: The Lord your God turned your curses to blessings because He loves you.(Neh.13: 2, Deut.23: 5) As you were a curse among the heathen. O house of Judah and house of Israel, I will save you and you shall be a blessing. (Zech.8: 13-15)  He also promised to convert the calamites to goodness. (Jer.32: 42). Here we understand that though we are in difficulties, the Lord changes them into blessings.

Blessing of salvation: All things work together for good to those who love God (Yah). (Rom.8: 28.) He saved us from all types of problems to give us a happy, prosperous and blessed life. He is our redeemer to remove all the evil things from our lives so that a man is blessed who delights in the law of the Lord (Ps.1: 2). His heart shall rejoice in his salvation.(Ps.12: 5.) Salvation is not given to everybody, it is only given to those who want it or yearn for it.(Ps.12: 5) When Messiah crucified all our sins and curses to the cross and turn our lives into a blessing by giving us the blessing of salvation.(Acts.3: 26) If we really want to be saved we have to accept Him with our hearts and confess with our lips.(Rom.10: 10.)

Blessing of long life and eternity: If we fear God and live a righteous life it prolongs the days of our life.(Prov.10: 27.)
If we honor our parents we get the blessing of long life. (Ex.20: 12. Prov.3: 2.)for abundant life, peace and prosperity. ITim.4: 8.This verse explains that bodily exercise profits little when we consider worldly duties we work for we definitely profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promises of life that is now on this earth, and that which is to come.
By living a godly life we profit materially and spiritually which will lead us to eternal life.
With the above blessings we can grow into perfection till the coming of the Messiah, practicing the exhortations given by the Apostle Paul in II Thes.5: 13-23.
