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 message emphasizes the necessity of hearing God's word first, comparing it to a newborn baby's innate need for milk. The speaker warns that many Christians are spiritually premature because they have not properly repented of sin, noting that a true sign of being born again is a deep longing for God's word. To distinguish God's voice from the devil's, one must recognize that the enemy often minimizes sin, whereas God's word clearly defines sin's seriousness.

The speaker uses the analogy of a neglected garden to illustrate the spiritual decline of Israel and the church over time. He argues that when people become spiritually complacent or neglect their faith, what was once a beautiful garden can quickly become a wilderness. This decline is attributed to various factors, including pride, money, and worldly pursuits, which cause people to fall into spiritual slumber.

The speaker uses the historical account of the Hebrew midwives in Exodus to illustrate that fearing God is more important than obeying human authority, even when that authority commands something sinful. The midwives disobeyed Pharaoh's order to kill male babies because they feared God, and as a result, God blessed them.

The sermon draws from Revelation 17 and Matthew 22 to emphasize that while many are called, only a few are truly chosen and faithful to be with Jesus.

Ultimately, the message encourages the congregation that God chooses the weak and foolish things to nullify human boasting, highlighting that believers are part of God's rich inheritance.
