Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:2-3
The word “synergy” comes from “syn,” meaning “together,” and “energy.” It refers to the power of working together — the strength that comes from unity. Through the 25 answers, we can achieve this synergy. You must carefully refer to the messages from the recent Remnant Leader Retreat. You should also pray together regarding this matter.
▣ Introduction: Bartizan (Watchman)
Let us take a closer look.
1. Covenant – Life, Work (Covenant)
God has given us the covenant. This must become the bartizan in your work, studies, and life. If your bartizan is built upon something else, you won’t even understand why answers are not coming. This is what we call the Covenant.
2. Disaster (Vision)
Secondly, our remnants must be able to see the disaster zones. You must have a bartizan within you that saves the disaster zones and overcomes the forces of darkness. This is what we call Vision. This vision must always be within your prayer. When this is established, answers will naturally come — regardless of immediate circumstances. The seven remnants in the Bible discovered this because they saw the disaster zones, and as a result, they found answers and were never shaken. In simpler terms, Jesus took His disciples to Mt Olive and, over 40 days, revealed everything — the coming destruction of Israel, the timing of Rome’s downfall, and more. Therefore, there was no reason for them to be shaken.
3. 24·25·Eternity (Dream)
Within this covenant and vision, there is the “24” that you live and breathe each day. From there, the “25” follows, and then comes eternity. This is not something that appears and disappears — this is what we call the Dream. This dream is different from worldly ambitions. God’s covenantal dream must be certain — 24. We must help our remnants firmly hold onto this. If your 24 is secured, the 25 will naturally come. As a result, your studies and work will remain as part of eternity. The seven remnants’ dreams were eternal — not temporary. For example, “On the day you put the blood of the lamb on your doorposts, you will be delivered.” That is eternal.
4. Authority of the Air (Ephesians 2:2) (Image)
Fourth, there is another answer given to our remnants. The forces of darkness have completely seized control of the authority of the air (Ephesians 2:2). These are the ones creating smartphones, metaverse platforms, and so on.
Universe
We, together with our remnants, must open the era to save those who control this authority of the air — the universe era. How? By using God’s power of creation. This is what we call the Image. Just pray as it is. For remnants, even praying a little when they wake up and before they sleep brings works of God. Why? Because while prayer during the day is important, the moments in the morning and at night are especially crucial, when your soul connects deeply with the throne.
In fact, a brain researcher once said that studying for 30 minutes right before sleep is more effective than studying for eight hours during the day. In the same way, when our remnants pray for just 10, 20, or 30 minutes before sleeping, the world can change.
5. Throne – Masterpiece (Practice)
Finally, this is very important. Heavenly power is the power that comes down from heaven, Thronely power is the power that comes from the throne, and Eternal power is the everlasting strength. These three are very significant. And this year’s theme is “Thronely.” With the power that flows from the throne, we create masterpieces. How? Through prayer.
Many people underestimate prayer, but prayer is the answer. Why? Because what is imprinted in you determines everything. Your thoughts are the answer. Your spiritual level is the answer. That’s why prayer is the answer. This is what we call Practice.
When we combine these five points from the introduction, we get CVDIP. This is the message given to remnant leaders so that they may enjoy this in prayer and receive answers. But this also applies to adults — if you continue to pray holding onto this covenant, works of God will arise. Otherwise, you’ll waste your life running errands for unbelievers and even for Satan.
Do not worry — hold firmly to this covenant and begin praying now. That’s why I urgently tell you: 24. Then works will happen. Our remnants must absolutely hold onto the covenant and stand victorious.
▣ Main Message
1. Many people
When this happens, you’ll be able to save many people even without trying. Why? Because answers will come. Isaac harvested a hundredfold in a single year. When others blocked his wells, God gave him new springs. When competitors envied and attacked him, God gave him a spacious land called Rehoboth. Why? Because God fulfills His plan for world evangelization. So stop doing other things — start enjoying this 24 power from the introduction. From now on. Receive true answers and you’ll be able to save many.
2. Three answers
Secondly, when you have this power, you will experience three specific answers:
1) WITH
You receive the answer of God being with you. There is nothing greater than this.
2) Immanuel
You receive the answer of Immanuel in your field, in your church, and in your work.
3) Oneness
Even when good things and bad things seem to happen, God combines them all together into oneness and turns them into answers. This is the blessing you will receive.
3. [ 24 ] Prayer / Word
From here, something begins to happen: you naturally enter into 24 prayer, and the Word of God becomes alive and active in you. When remnants begin to enjoy 24 prayer, they will overcome anywhere. There’s no need to worry about studies — victory is guaranteed.
Do not be deceived by lies anymore. When remnants hold onto the Word and prayer 24/7, they are safe wherever they are. Just enjoy and wait. And then what happens?
1) Together (Works)
This blessing is “God is with me,” meaning the Word and prayer naturally bring God’s works. “The Word of the Lord came to Moses” — that’s the end. “The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah” — that settles it.
2) Fulfillment
Then, the Word is bound to be fulfilled.
3) Witness
Then, without trying, you become a witness. You must hold onto this and pass it on to your remnants. To what extent? Even unbelievers will see you and say, “God is truly alive. God is with you in your work.” That’s it.
When Potiphar saw Joseph, he said, “This man is filled with the Spirit of the Lord.” He also testified, “The Lord is with you.” Not only that, but “The Lord is with you in everything you do.”
If you simply enjoy this (introduction), everything comes. Don’t be deceived — isn’t this wonderful? When you enjoy this, you receive health, answers, and everything else. Many people hold onto the wrong things and work so hard unnecessarily, but there is no need to struggle. Enjoy this (introduction), and everything follows.
It’s frustrating to see so many people clinging to unbelievers’ teachings like “If you try, you can do it,” when in reality, there are things that cannot be done by human effort. If remnants accept these wrong teachings, they’ll let go of the covenant and hold onto the wrong things instead.
Bartizan (Watchman)
Remnants, never be deceived. The covenant never changes. You must rise from within it. This (introduction) must become your bartizan. Only then can you serve as a watchman. Without a bartizan, a watchman has nowhere to shine the light, no matter how skilled they are.
The Word of God must become your bartizan. You must firmly establish a vision to overcome disasters. From there, you will naturally begin to enjoy your Dream — the 24, 25, and eternity blessings. After this, only two things remain:
1. You gain the strength to overcome the forces of darkness.
2. You begin to see the universe era opening.
Finally, we create masterpieces through the power of the throne. Nothing else can accomplish world evangelization.
▣ Conclusion
Let us conclude. Ultimately, Jesus summarized everything like this:
[ 1 Christ, 3 Kingdom, 8 Holy Spirit ]
The resurrected Christ. Verse 3 speaks of God’s Kingdom. Verse 8 speaks of the Holy Spirit: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
John 14:26 [ All Things ]
When this (introduction) bartizan is firmly established within you, the Holy Spirit will remind you of all things as you pray.
John 16:13
John 16:13 says the Spirit will guide you into all truth, making you realize all things. Therefore, there’s no need to worry about the future. Even when problems arise in someone else’s work, God gives you insight into the future and provides answers. This is certain.
Before we began building, I first received the answer of the three courtyards — the 237, the healing, and the summit courtyards. That’s all we need to do. The world is preparing for this on a global scale, and if our church prepares well, we’ll be able to help many people. Eventually, your work will itself become the three courtyards — where the 237 nations come, receive healing, and rise as summits.
We must also pray for our nation. Sadly, the government and civil systems are too slow and underdeveloped. Unlike advanced nations, we don’t even have proper immigration policies. Foreign talents come but cannot stay. Japan, for example, draws skilled workers from other countries and has policies to retain them — they do this well. America, despite restrictions on illegal immigration, was founded on immigration policies. That’s why it became a leading nation.
I personally gave up my U.S. green card. I received it just three months after applying, and when I returned it, the U.S. government already knew everything about me. I told them I live in Korea, and they confirmed it. Pastor Jung Eun-Ju and I decided together to return our green cards because we didn’t want to keep lying every time we traveled to the U.S. for missions.
America manages immigration wisely. But in Korea, it’s the opposite — we lack the systems to keep global talents here. Families can’t even stay together, and many foreigners give up. This is one of the reasons we’re falling behind, and it’s heartbreaking. Without fixing this, how can we expect to fulfill world evangelization? We need prayer and action.
The answer is simple. If you pray properly during worship, God’s works will arise. If you hold firmly to God’s Word and covenant, His power will manifest. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be a day of blessing and a day of the Lord.
Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, may the works of Your Word arise in every region and every district. May Your works also arise in every school and in every place of work. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
