August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian understanding must move beyond merely being forgiven to being saved from sin, citing Matthew 1:21. He contrasts the Old Covenant, where the Spirit was merely 'upon' people, with the New Covenant, where the Spirit dwells 'within,' requiring a heart cleansed first. He warns against prioritizing God's use of us over our inner cleansing, and discusses the true meaning of baptism as immersion in the Holy Spirit, which requires continuous filling.

The speaker discusses the ministry of the Holy Spirit, contrasting the early church's reliance on personal conversation and memory with modern over-reliance on the written Bible. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's work is to glorify Christ, leading to profound humility, as seen when Isaiah and John reacted to the glory of the Lord. True spiritual guidance points always back to Christ.

The central message is that true understanding of God's word and the nature of the church comes not from academic study or argument, but from a heart filled with fervent love for Jesus Christ and profound reverence for God. The speaker emphasizes that God reveals deep truths to those who love Him, contrasting this with relying on historical accounts or intellectual debate. Humility and reverence for God are presented as the necessary foundation for all spiritual knowledge.

The true church is not a building or denomination, but the body of Christ gathered by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, the speaker emphasizes that every member, no matter how weak or gifted, is essential to the body, and the head (Christ) never dismisses any part. The church must reflect Christ's humility and value every believer, contrasting this with mere performance or personal gain.

The speaker discusses the early Christian communities, noting they met in small, private homes rather than large buildings, emphasizing their devotion despite persecution. He stresses that true Christianity is not found in state acceptance but in small groups that love and bear with one another. The sermon concludes by addressing the question of sin under grace, arguing that Scripture is meant to free believers from sin, not provide excuses for it.

The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's will, particularly regarding scripture, comes from a deep desire to do God's will, not just intellectual study. He contrasts this with the 'flesh' or self-will, which is the source of sin, arguing that holiness is defined by willingly doing the Father's will. The central message is that when one desires to do God's will, the truths of scripture become clear, leading to freedom from sin's mastery.
