I Will Bless You in Every Place(Exodus 20:22~26)
“Make an alter of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you(24).
Hymn #362 Lord, I Hear of Show’rs of Blessing(Unified Hymn 481)
Only the Bible tells you not to worship idols. Idol worship brings destruction upon the third and fourth generations that are to come. As evidence, powerful nations built statues and forced people to bow to them. Satan sometimes appears as an angel of light(2 Corinthians 11:14), sometimes as the god who rules this world(2 Corinthians 4:4~5), and sometimes as the king of this world(John 16:11~14). Satan has always been a deceiver and a liar. Jesus told the Pharisees that Satan was their father(John 8:44). Because of this, Satan traps mankind, puts them in frames, and binds them in snares of Genesis 3, 6, and 11. Even today the evidence shows in the form of the Nephilim, in disasters like wars, and in spiritual problems such as mental disorders. When people perform rituals, sacrifices, or idol worship, the power of evil spirits appears. It’s because demons enter and Satan takes hold of the household(Matthew 12:26~30). The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the Devil. God gave this covenant while leading the Israelites through the wilderness.
1. My Name
God promised to bless the place where His name is remembered. That name points to the offspring of the woman in Genesis 3: 15, the ark in Genesis 6: 14, and the day of liberation through the blood sacrifice in Exodus 3:18.
2. Commemoration
God said He would bless every place where His name is commemorated. What does that mean? It shows why the tabernacle was so important in the wilderness. Worship was truly important. Through the three courtyards, God raised up the posterity and multiethnic people, The Sabbath opened the age of the Three Day Weekend Age and the power of prayer opened the age of holy meditation.
3. Immanuel
God said He would come to you and bless you. Even inviting one person to the Missions Convention matters. It’s because one person united in faith can shine the light to many nations. You should also pray for one nation and help the Remnants who live in darkness.
What is certain in prayer is the name. That name is the Lord(Jeremiah 33:1~3), the name of Immanuel(Isaiah 7:14), the name of Jesus(John 14:14), and the name before which everything must bow down(Philippians 3:21). You should pray in this name.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I give You honor and praise. At this time, may the blessings of the Throne be upon all people. May Your Kingdom come and bind the forces of darkness. May today that Your Kingdom’s works are established and brought to light. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
