If you are faithful, you can succeed, and if you have skill, you can go ahead of others. However, you cannot have true happiness and success in life with just these things. In order to enjoy true answers, you must have spiritual strength. Spiritual strength is the true answer given to those who have received salvation. Because those who have been saved have already received everything, they can stand in the seat of success. They gathered together all the gold and silver to build the tabernacle, but they were not just building the tabernacle. Things naturally take place when filled with the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, like Bezalel and Oholiab. We must remember the message given to the workers who were building the tabernacle.
1. If you know the true Gospel, you will enjoy true power.
The family line of Abraham thoroughly understood and enjoyed the covenant of Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 6:14. You will receive the blessing of becoming the source of blessings according to the promise, only if you know the true Gospel. Moses also experienced the covenant in Exodus 3:18. Starting from that moment, Moses’ life also began to change. It is only one life you have to live, so experiencing the true Gospel and knowing what true power is about is the most valuable work. The reason for explaining the three feasts in the wilderness for 40 years was to teach that there is no answer to life other than the Gospel. You need your personal tabernacle. You need the mystery of prayer in which you set your time, and seek God with your entirety.
2. If you receive true power, you can do true devotion.
If you experience true power, you can enjoy the true blessing of finances. It is not in order to become a wealthy person, but in order for the children of God to naturally enjoy the blessing of finances, they must fight against the curse of poverty. In addition, as you devote yourself, what you must never lose hold of is prayer. At that time, you can experience the filling of grace that God gives. This is the grace of the filling of the Holy Spirit that David and Joseph enjoyed. The devotion that those filled with the Holy Spirit do is true devotion that God is pleased with.
3. God uses those with the Gospel as witnesses
God called Bezalel and Oholiab by name. God uses those who have the true Gospel, true power and true finances as witnesses. They fully possessed different kinds of wisdom and knowledge through the Holy Spirit, they were preciously used for the work of the Lord, and they stood in the seat of blessings that revealed God’s glory. Humankind’s ability is limited and you must know that one day, at an important point in time, it all crumbles. You must receive the strength that God gives, and then you can stand as a true witness.
- Deeply pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit in which you experience the blessings of the Gospel of Jesus that is the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
