“Sealed By God”(하나님에 의해 봉인된)

♡ “오늘의 성경”(Today's Scripture) ♡

1. 읽을말씀 : 학개 2장 23절(Haggai 2:23, NIV)

“만군의 여호와가 말하노라 스알디엘의 아들 내 종 스룹바벨아 여호와가 말하노라 그 날에 내가
너를 세우고 너를 인장으로 삼으리니 이는 내가 너를 택하였음이니라 만군의 여호와의 말이니라 하시니라”

“[‘On that day,’] / declares the Lord Almighty, / [‘I will take you, / my servant Zerubbabel / son of Shealtiel,’] / declares the Lord, / [‘and I will make you / like my signet ring, / [for I have chosen you],’] / declares the Lord Almighty.”

2. 제목 : “Sealed By God”(하나님에 의해 봉인된)

We don’t often hear about signet rings anymore ; but in Bible times, they were very significant. The signet ring was used to identify the message or messenger and the authority they had. In other words, you knew something was from the king because it was marked by his signet ring. It was representative of power and authority. This verse is saying that you are the mark of authority of Almighty God. You have been chosen and set apart to be identified with Him.

우리는 더 이상 인장 반지에 대해 자주 듣지 못합니다. 하지만 성경 시대에는 매우 중요했습니다. 인장 반지는 메시지나 메신저와 그들이 가진 권위를 식별하는 데 사용되었습니다. 다시 말해, 당신은 그의 인장 반지로 표시되어 있기 때문에 무언가가 왕에게서 온 것이라는 것을 알았습니다. 그것은 권능과 권위를 상징했습니다. 이 구절은 당신이 전능하신 하나님의 권위의 표식이라고 말하고 있습니다. 당신은 그분과 동일시되도록 선택되고 따로 구별되었습니다.

When you have someone’s power and authority, you have access to everything they have. It’s like having power of attorney ; you have the authority to act on behalf of that individual. As a believer in Jesus, you are marked with His seal. Think of all you have access to today! Think about the authority you have. Everything He has is available to you — healing, provision, strength, peace, joy. You have been given authority to “sign His name” in order to receive His blessings. You are God’s seal, and you are marked to live the abundant life He has in store for you!

누군가의 권능과 권위를 가질 때, 당신은 그들이 가진 모든 것에 접근할 수 있습니다. 그것은 위임장을 가진 것과 같습니다. 당신은 그 개인을 대신하여 행동할 권한이 있습니다. 예수님을 믿는 사람으로서 당신은 그분의 인장으로 표시되어 있습니다. 오늘날 당신이 접근할 수 있는 모든 것을 생각해보세요! 당신이 가진 권세에 대해 생각해보세요. 그분이 가진 모든 것은 당신에게 제공됩니다. 치유, 공급, 힘, 평화, 기쁨. 당신은 그분의 축복을 받기 위해 "그분의 이름에 서명"할 수 있는 권한을 받았습니다. 당신은 하나님의 인장이며, 그분이 당신을 위해 준비해 놓으신 풍성한 삶을 살도록 표시되어 있습니다!

3. '오늘'을 위한 '기도' (Prayer for Today)

“Father in heaven, thank You for choosing me and calling me Your own. Help me to fully understand the authority You’ve given by Your Son, Jesus. I receive all You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. God Bless You!”
“하늘에 계신 아버지, 저를 택하시고 당신의 것으로 부르셔서 감사합니다. 당신의 아들 예수님을 통해 주신 권위를 온전히 이해하도록 도와주세요. 예수님의 이름으로 당신이 저에게 주신 모든 것을 받습니다. 아멘. 신의 축복이 있기를!”
