. , . God gave to our mouth, Thank you and Bless you. The word bless is composed of Chinese Character chuk which means to wish and bok which means blessing. Or Kang which means to bestow and Bok which means blessing. So it means to wish or bestow blessing. . In the Bible, there is the Word of God which God bestows blessings on us and drive us out to the place of blessings. Psalm 109:17-18 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones. .109:17-18 Joint Translation Bible Psalm 109:17 (AF) 17 He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. ( 109:17) , . .

Numbers 6:23-26

Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
23 24

The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;

25

The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace. 27 So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
26

. .6:23-26 If I summarize this Scripture in a sentence, it is this; You shall bless. I will give blessings to you and to them. As God teaches us blessings Himself, God is saying, You shall bless each other. I will give blessings to you. My beloved saints, I bless you. I bless you that you live your whole life as life of blessing. Please bless the person beside you. It can be any word of blessing. Let us begin, I bless you good health. I bless you will be beautiful. I bless you all will be good. I bless you that you will prosper. . . . . . . . . . . . ( 18:21) ( 12:18)

As I read through the book of Proverbs and as I examine the Scriptures regarding words, I realize one precious truth. That one thing is that words we speak possess power and death and life are in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:21 21 Death and life are in the And those who love it will eat its fruit.

the

tongue,

And another thing is that getting sick and being healed are also in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 12:18
18

There But

Like this, I found the precious truth and that is words that people speak can make man prosper or destroyed. We say rise and fall. To be exact, what does it depend on? Our rise and fall depends upon our words, the Bible says. It will not be easy for you to accept this idea easily. If I say your rise and fall all depends on how diligently you work, how hard you try and labour. It depends on efforts and toil then you would easily and gladly accept the idea and you would easily understand. However, when I say it is up to our words that we speak I bet you cannot easily understand what I am saying. . . . . . . I, too, was like one of those who couldnt accept this idea, however, when I examine the Bible closely I know that that is exactly true. Proverbs 10:8

The wise in heart But a prating fool will fall.

will

receive

commands,

A prating fool will fall; it means a prating fool will be destroyed. The thing that destroys this person is the tongue. Eventually the tongue make one fall. It doesnt mean that the tongue itself is foolish, but the Scripture is talking about a prating fool which means a person who speaks foolish words. Thus, words that a man speaks can make him fall. Now let us look at verse 14, Proverbs 10:14
14

But

Wise the

people mouth of

up is near

knowledge, destruction.

( 10:8) 14 ( 10:14) The mouth of the foolish is near where? Here, the Bible is saying, what is related to being near destruction? Words. These words, the words that we speak, the foolish words lead us to where? The foolish words lead us to destruction. . . ? On the other hand, Proverbs 11:11 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 12 He ( 11:11)

Let us read out together once again. It is the Word of God we must inscribe on our tablets of the heart for life. . . ? . . . Here, it says by the mouth of the wicked the city is overthrown and by what of the upright? The blessing. Blessing, too, is words. This blessing is wish. We say, make a wish. And in Chinese Character we say bless. That is why by the power of words things are achieved and improved and promoted. By the power of the words we speak things prosper. Prosper means it is revived like fire toward advancement, and to flourish. Promotion, prosperity and destruction; all these depend upon what? It is all up to our tongue, our mouth. ? ? ? . My beloved saints of God, Your lifes rise and fall depend on your tongue, the words you speak. Depending on your words, your life is divided into success or failure. And your children, their success and failure all depend on the words you speak. Your business you run. Depending on the words you speak, success and failure is decided. Would you acknowledge this fact? Even if you want to say no, you cannot reject this idea. Why? Because the Bible is the truth and one jot or one tittle shall in no ways pass from the Bible and such Bible is saying that our rise and fall depend on what? The tongue. .

 . . ? The mouth of the wise makes one prosper and the mouth of the wicked makes life destroyed. That is why when we hear words that come out of a persons mouth, we know whether that person is wise or foolish. However, not mean believe in The Bible Amen? one thing you and I should be happy about is that here, the wise do the righteous or the honest, but it is a pronoun for people who Jesus. So it means I myself. It means you. is talking about you who believe in Jesus.

. . . . . . If you believe in Jesus, then today God is speaking to you and regarding you who believe in Jesus, 11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. Today I bless you. Today I bless you wherever you go you become the upright because of whom the city is exalted. I bless you with the name of the Lord. You go to a new place. If so, then I believe that place is exalted because of you. The reason being is that first of all, because you are the blessed the place you are in must also be blessed. Why is that? Because the words that come out of the blessed are words of wisdom. . . ,? ? ? The blessed speak blessings with their mouths. The foolish, heartbreakingly, speak destruction with their mouths.

Blessed people speak life with their tongue. Foolish people speak death with their tongue. Today, from your mouth, is life springing up? Is the fountain of life springing up from your tongue? Or, is death springing up from your mouth? . 5 10 . ? . When we did not believe in Jesus and did not know who Jesus was, we speak things of death with our mouth. All these things of death gushed out from our mouth. We did not know what we were doing. We were not aware of and not thinking how that would affect our life in 5, in 10 years later in our life. Not knowing this we spoke of such things and evil things gushed out from our tongue. Then by the grace of God, we got to know Jesus and after believing in Jesus, an amazing grace came upon us. That is wisdom. Amen? And when wisdom is bestowed upon us, from that time on, our words that come out of our mouth are changed. . Here, one thing we must remember about words we speak is this; when we say something to some other person, that is exactly what I am talking about myself. .109:17-18 Psalm 109:17-18 17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones.

The reason why people who bless others prosper is because the blessings that we say to someone else becomes our own blessing, too. Look, we generally dont say I am going to be successful, I am going to be blessed. I will enjoy prosperity. I will be peaceful. We do not go around and say such things, right? Deacon, deaconess, Im blessed that I met you. Ill be prosperous because now I met you. I will be successful because now I met you. We dont say such things, right? " " . ?. . . . . Instead, what do we say? Deacon, Mr. Kim, you will prosper. Your business will be a success. And Mr. Kim doesnt say Amen. Your life will be full of blessings. This is blessing. But, this blessing that we bless others is also blessing that I say to myself. It means the blessings you say to someone else are fulfilled as my own blessings. That is why those who bless other people are bound to be prosperous. But, there are some people who think this word blessings is used exclusively by pastors and reverends only. . 00 . . . . . . . . . . ( 11:11) . Thats why when time to time a deacon or a deaconess comes up here and say, I bless you, some people grumble and say, Who does he think he is? Does he think hes a pastor? However, the use of the word bless is not limited only to pastors.

It is the word you, too, should use and say. Blessing it means to make a wish. In joint translation Bible, Proverbs 11:11, it says,
11

Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed.

Genesis 12:3 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Today, God not only gave Abraham the blessings of all nations, but also to you and I who believe in Jesus Christ. For Jesus Christ is blessing itself, for Jesus Christ is the target of all blessings, I believe we who believe in Jesus are the blessing. ( 12:3) . . . ? . . . . . . The Bible says, when we speak words by faith and when we bless others by faith God hears our words and blessings and makes our words and blessings come true to the person who is blessed and to me. Today, that is why you are saying this to me for your own good and for my good as well. What do you say? You say bless. Please do not curse others. Because when we say curses to someone else, how good it would be if those curses come upon that person only and not on me, but that is not the case. So if you must curse someone, then curse like this, Go have a nice comfortable life. How good it is! That is not cursing, that is blessing.

. . . . I bless you. I wish you prosperity and well-being throughout your whole life. When you are upset and angry say something like this, Eat well and live well. Then who is going to make that wish come true? Even in the midst of anger we still bless others, God blesses us all. Today, I wish we all have Gods grace that such blessing words are always contained in our mouth. My beloved saints, God gave us a very powerful and mighty tool. This tool is called our tongue, our mouth. Todays Scripture says the city is exalted by what? Exalting the city depends on what? On our tongue. On our mouth. . ? ? . . . . . Now Im going to ask you a question. What does the economy of Seoul depend on? What does the economy of Korea depend on? It depends on your tongue. If your tongue contains blessing words that Koreas economy will flourish then you will have that blessing fulfilled. The economy is recovered and we have active trade balance. If so, then you say, Aha! My words came true. In todays world, this is no coincidence. Why do countries with Christianity prosper and flourish? Because every country which the gospel of Jesus entered, the pupils of people change and their mouths is changed.

Their perspectives are changed and the words they speak through their mouths change directions. ? ? . . . .

If so, then today youve learned how to make yourself prosper and succeed. Those of you who want to enjoy prosperity say Amen? So what do we must do in order to be prosperous? Blessing. I hope you have the grace of God so that you say blessing words to your children each and every day.

Here is the daily written prayer for you. It is the exact same prayer as the one I posted on our churchs homepage. With this written prayer on your hand, I want you to bless your children and everyone around you day by day.
