Go to the Startup Tab and edit the "Allow Cheats" setting to true.
Restart your Minecraft server, and you should now be able to give yourself a command block by running the give command in the game or the server console.
Congrats, you've successfully enabled command blocks on Minecraft Bedrock Edition?
Command blocks and functions can be used, among many other things, to change the difficulty, change the state of the weather, change to creative mode, or give a player predesignated edited items.
Command blocks can execute commands when activated by Redstone power. Command blocks have level 2 permissions in Java Edition and level 1 on Bedrock Edition, so it can be used to allow a specific use of a command by players who can't use that command in general (for example, allowing anyone to obtain a specific item with /give without allowing everyone to /give themselves whatever they want).
There are a few things you can use command blocks for, like:
Summoning modified entities.
Giving edited items.
Teleport players or entities when certain events are accomplished. For example, pressing a pressure plate.
Creating and sending custom messages.
Modifying the world.
