The God of love wants to bless, protect, and give grace and peace to His children (Numbers 6:24-26).
But in order to receive blessings of God, we should keep the law of justice. God recorded the law of the justice in the Bible in detail and those who believe and obey the law in spirit and body can receive His blessings. Here are laws of justice for receiving answers and blessings.


1. You have to believe without doubt the fulfillment of the prayer for blessings and the words of blessing once they have been proclaimed in the name of God.

Isaiah 55:11 says, "So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." God proclaimed His will through prophets and apostles. And whatever was proclaimed was certainly fulfilled.

In Genesis chapter 27, we see that Jacob cheated his father Isaac to receive blessings. Isaac was too old to see clearly and recognize people's faces, and he mistook Jacob for Esau and blessed Jacob. After he found out about it he trembled violently. It's because he knew very well that he couldn't annul or cancel the blessing once he had proclaimed it in the name of the LORD God.

After all, the blessing for the firstborn was moved to Jacob. It's because it was in accordance with justice. Jacob believed in the power in the prayer of blessing and received it with a longing heart. On the contrary, Esau sold his birthright for a mere bowl of lentil stew. Also, he took Gentile women as his wives. Although the method to receive it was not perfect, Jacob deserved to receive the blessing.

The blessing prayed for by a man of God never disappears. And the man who is praying must be a man who is guaranteed by God (Deuteronomy 18:22).

You have to believe the word of God proclaimed and the prayer for blessing, and you have to believe without any changing of your attitude. This is the rule of justice that you have to remember to receive the answer (Mark 11:24). You have to believe until the prayer is answered, until the end. You should not doubt or become disheartened wondering if the prayer will actually be answered. If you truly believe, you will not take any word of blessing or prayer of blessing lightly. If you really believe that it will surely be fulfilled, you can never forget it.


2. You have to offer the 'savory dish' that is pleasing to God.

In order to receive answers and blessings, and especially to receive them quickly, you have to give to God such a 'savory dish'. The blessings come immediately for some people while they come upon others more slowly. This difference depends on whether they offered this savory dish to God or not.

In Genesis 27:4, Isaac said to Esau, "And prepare a savory dish for me such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die." But Isaac knew that the prayer of blessing wouldn't just come upon him unconditionally. Namely, he knew there had to be a 'deed of sowing' in faith that the blessing would actually come. For this reason he had Esau bring a savory dish that pleased him and would ease his mind.

The same applies when you ask God to receive something. There must be a deed of sowing. It's because faith is perfected before God through the deed of sowing. James 2:22 says, "You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected."

The widow in Zarephath served the prophet with her last bit of food, which she was going to eat with her son and die. Through this deed of faith, she received such a great blessing that her food never ran out until the drought was over. Also, in Philippians 4:18-19, we see that Paul blessed the church in Philippi when they made offerings for his ministry. It says, "But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received from Epaphroditus what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Therefore, when you come to receive prayer, you have to prepare a savory dish that can please God. Namely, you have to move the heart of God with your love and devotion.

Practicing God's will—to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all things is also a savory dish (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18). And attaining to the 7 standards of measuring of the seven Spirits: faith, joy, prayer, thanksgiving, keeping the commandments, faithfulness, and love is a savory dish as well. For example, when one tried to keep the commandments of God as they are with all his life, and when he tried to be faithful until death, it is also to give God a savory dish.

You can give a savory dish by knowing and practicing the rules of sowing and reaping such as cultivating your heart field, keeping the whole Sabbath, giving a whole tithe, and walking only the right path. When you pray and attend worship services, do it with all your heart. Give all you have with dedication, including time, money, or your talents, with thanksgiving for the grace received. Focus on evangelism and take care of the souls. All these can be savory dishes.

As Ephesians 5:10 says, "...trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord," diligently look for something you can give as a savory dish. In doing so all your prayer points will be answered.
