Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8
Our missionaries who are being commissioned must ultimately influence the remnants. Especially, they must influence the TCKs. Among the remnants, it is the TCKs who can conquer the world. And simply, what must we let our remnants and TCKs, our missionaries and many pastors know? It is this (7･7･7). Just continue it. You just keep doing this. The 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts—just comfortably begin them every morning when you open your eyes. At first it may feel like nothing much, but later it becomes imprinted. Because this becomes the root and nature, you will be able to find every answer from here.
In my case, I divide the 7 into this breathing: when I inhale, it is what I enjoy; when I exhale, it is what I pass on to others. This is something truly amazing. Then what is the very last of the 7 bartizans? It is the three courtyards. So the church must enjoy the blessing of these three courtyards. This is the first lecture of this New Year’s prayer gathering. If this is not restored, it is not a church. Then how do you exhale? You aim it toward others, but surely this team of missionaries will arise. How many times do I do this in a day? While I am doing this all day, you are included and I am included. Just this itself is already a miracle. Isn’t that so? Even if a beggar sitting on the roadside prays 24 hours for me, it is a miracle. Am I a beggar? No, I am not.
▣ Main
When you continue this, three focuses will come out.
1. Discovery – Only
Something becomes visible. This is what we call only. Already today the message was given. This “only” appears, and it appears in this way.
1) Every day – The “only” of every day appears. This is prayer, isn’t it? You see the “only” of every day. Not just seeing it…
2) Work (events) – Because you must do work. Sometimes events happen. From there, the “only” becomes visible.
3) Lifetime – And what is more important, the “only” of my lifetime becomes visible.
These three things appear daily as grace. This must be passed on to the remnants, the missionaries must hold to it, and it must be included in your prayers. So sometimes depending on the situation you do this (7･7･7) all day, sometimes morning, noon, and evening. You just keep doing it. As you keep doing it, you begin to see. It is not difficult at all. Because you see.
2. Waiting – Uniqueness
Now, when doing this, it is not done vaguely but waiting for something. What are we waiting for? We are waiting for the kingdom of God to come. This is what we call uniqueness.
1) Functional summit – This waiting, simply speaking, includes many things, but for remnants and workers it is waiting for functionality. Unique.
2) Professionalism – Then this takes on professionalism. It inevitably becomes like this.
3) Globalization – It takes on world nature. Then you know what you must do. Absolutely, remnants must not miss this. If you are praying like this, then within your studies you see this (only). You see the “only.” Then as you keep enjoying this, you see this (uniqueness).
3. Challenge – Re-creation
Then you begin to challenge toward what God most desires in your life. This is what we call re-creation. Re-creation has many aspects, but there are three.
1) Nobody – Everybody, Nothing – Everything. From “nobody,” everything is found. Building the three courtyards is not a matter of whether I can or cannot do it. It does not exist, therefore it must be done. You save all people and everything.
2) Summit – To do this, God first gives the answer of the summit. You become the summit. To others it seems amazing. Because you have become the summit.
3) Non-competition – What is more important? Non-competition. There is no need to fight. There are many who pick fights with us, but it is useless. They are not our opponents. Our battle is with darkness and Satan, not with people. We have no competitors. Did Joseph have any competitor? No. Did David have a competitor? No. No one can compete with you. This is once again the confirmation of only, uniqueness, and re-creation. This is connected to today’s industrial missions, missionary commissioning, and the lecture.
Remnants, always enjoy this. (7･7･7) When? Don’t even calculate. Just enjoy. Then it comes out, like this (main message). It becomes visible like this. May this blessing be upon your church, your work, and your studies, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, thank You. We thank You for the grace to know what belongs to You. We thank You for blessing us to be able to do what belongs to You. We thank You for giving us strength to devote ourselves and challenge toward what You most desire. May only the gospel be testified to all the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
