* When they offer a sacrifice (worship), they can prosper both physically and spiritually. [[Solomon]] received wisdom from God by offering a thousand burnt offerings and became the wisest king of his time, and his kingdom greatly prospered under God’s blessing.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=1+Kings+3%3A4-14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=1 Kings 3:4–14 |publisher= |quote=}}</ref> The house of Obed-Edom, where [[Ark of Covenant|the ark of the covenant]] was kept, was greatly blessed, which shows that those who worship and serve God in the temple will be blessed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=2+Samuel+6%3A9-11&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=2 Samuel 6:9–11 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

* When people keep worship according to God’s commandments, they will receive the '''blessing of spiritual wisdom and understanding'''. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that people will lose wisdom and understanding if they obey the rules of men.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+29%3A13-14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 29:13–14 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref> The rules of men refer to false worship such as [[Sunday Worship|Sunday worship]] and [[Christmas]] which are not found in the Bible. If they practice false worship, that is, rules of men that are not found in the Bible, they will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Only when they keep the worship services and the feasts commanded by God, can they receive wisdom and understanding through the blood of Christ, so that they can fully realize the mystery of God and the administration of redemption.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Ephesians+1%3A7-9&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Ephesians 1:7–9 |publisher= |quote= }}</ref>

*The '''meaning and blessing contained in the worship of the feasts''' is even more special. Since different blessings of God are promised in each and every one of the [[The Feasts of God|seven feasts in three times]], people can all receive God’s blessings when they keep the feast worship. Feast worship is the passage through which they can receive numerous blessings such as the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, the blessing of being protected from disasters, the living hope for resurrection, the promise of ascension, and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In the [[Sabbath]] worship, which is a weekly feast, is promised the blessing of being acknowledged as God’s people and entering the eternal rest.
