– Model 29 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:9-11
With the three courtyards in view, today is the multinational festival. One of our remnants in Busan took the broadcasting announcer exam. They were hiring two announcers, and thousands of people came to apply. Of course, the applicants were narrowed down step by step. In the end, this remnant was selected into the final six. Out of those six, four would be cut and only two would be chosen. This remnant often came to me asking for prayer, and said that only the final interview remained. They shared with me that they felt they probably wouldn’t make it because one of the conditions for the announcer recruitment didn’t really fit them. Still, making it into the top six meant they had already placed very high. So I said to them, “You’ll be sitting in front of important people. Up to now, you’ve shown them something extraordinary. You made it to the final six because you showed them your excellence, your intelligence, and your ability. That in itself is already proven. But for the final step, don’t focus on showing off anymore. Speak with humility and sincerity.” In the end, God had His plan. They passed. It really struck me how difficult it is to become an announcer. But anyway, they passed and they’re working in the field now.
▣ Introduction_ A small and sincere festival
For our multinational remnants, there must be a small, yet sincere festival. That’s why we call it a multinational festival. The word festival is used when there is great joy, isn’t it? So when these multinational people come, they must receive the most important answer of their lives. That is why it is a festival. Now let’s look at Scripture.
▣ Main point
1. Acts 2:9–11
In Acts 2:9–11, the multinationals gathered.
Mission festival
What do you think these people needed most? A mission festival. No matter what, they had to be given a mission. And in order to truly give them that mission, a few references are needed.
1) Acts 2:1–4 – The three feasts and Pentecost
In Acts 2:1–4 we see important terms: the three feasts and Pentecost. These must be clearly communicated. The people who gathered in the Mark’s upper room already held onto Passover, and the Feast of Tabernacles was their background. What they were enjoying at that time was Pentecost. So it says, “When the day of Pentecost came…” But for the multinationals who would later come, you had to explain the three feasts as a whole while highlighting Pentecost.
2) Acts 2:17–18 – Worship and the future
In Acts 2:17–18, it speaks of worship and the future: “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young adults will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” It is about the future.
3) Acts 2:9–11 – The mission of the nations
And in Acts 2:9–11, fifteen nations were present. Each had to return with the mission for their own nation.
2. Healing festival
Second, although several passages are listed in the Bible, the answer is clear: a healing festival.
1) Acts 3:1–12 – The world and the multinationals
In Acts 3:1–12, the man crippled from birth sitting at the temple gate called Beautiful was healed. This was a message delivered to multinationals all over the world. People might think, “Oh, he was just sitting at the temple gate,” but that location was known worldwide. Jews and those connected to Jews came from all nations for the feast days. And there, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the crippled man was healed.
2) Acts 8:4–8 – The abandoned multinationals
In Acts 8:4–8, the healing festival was for the abandoned multinationals. This was Samaria. Many multinationals lived there, which is why the Jews avoided associating with them. But because the Jews did not have the gospel, they saw things wrongly. From God’s perspective, these were abandoned multinationals. It was to them that the gospel was proclaimed, and a healing festival took place. This is extremely important.
3) Acts 8:26–40 – The Holy Spirit and the Spirit
In Acts 8:26–40, we see the Ethiopian eunuch. You know this story well—it was miraculous. He came of his own accord, bought a scroll of God’s Word, and was asking questions about Christ. Two things must be noted here: “The Holy Spirit said to Philip…” and “The Spirit of the Lord…” It was here that a tremendous gospel and healing festival took place.
So when the multinationals come, you must always give them these three things.
3. Sending festival
Third, from God’s perspective, this is the ultimate: the sending festival. But at that time, there was no one prepared to be sent. So where did they go?
1) Acts 17:1
They went into the synagogues. This was to prepare for sending disciples into the future for the world. It might look like you are doing something small now, but in reality, you are sending disciples with the world in view.
2) Acts 18:4
3) Acts 19:8
And these three passages together show the whole flow:
Mission festival. Healing festival. Only then does it have content. And then, sending festival. This is the multinational festival. So, even if it is not something done on a large scale, even if small, it must leave an impression on the multinationals. Why? Because if they do not realize the mission God has given, it is all in vain. They must receive healing for their long-standing problems. Then they must return as disciples.
▣ Conclusion
So whenever we receive God’s Word, we must see the answer for today. When we see today’s answer, we realize that the power to save the nations already exists in the strong nations. But among the 5000 tribes, it does not exist. That is why this time, people came from Papua New Guinea, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. So what is today’s answer? That from our secretariat, the Remnant Headquarters, or from you and me directly, we should send a note of thanks and encouragement to those who came here, to their presidents or prime ministers. We must! They consider this extremely important.
Once, long ago when I was still an assistant pastor, our church held a revival meeting. The speaker was a very solid person, full of good content. I helped out, and after the meetings ended, the pastor left. Later, I got a call at my home—it was that pastor. He called just to thank me, saying he received much grace at the revival and wanted to express his gratitude. Immediately, I saw him differently: “This man is different.”
Message
So in concluding this gathering, let us remember: it is not a small thing for people to come to our nation or for us to meet people from abroad. For these people, we must always send messages of thanks and encouragement. We must always finish well and continue well. That is today’s answer for us.
Tomorrow, may you also experience a living work of God that gives you many answers and strength throughout the whole day. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. We thank You, God. Important people have gathered at this important time. Also, for all who are listening to this message throughout the world, may You work by Your Holy Spirit. Allow us to see the living works of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
