The Promise Given to Those Who Remain

2026.05.24 Sunday 1st Service
「The Promise Given to Those Who Remain」(Is 66:12-24)

▣ Introduction

Thank you.

1. The covenant to hold on to when crisis comes and there is no one to help — the remnant

There are times like this for us. Times when it feels as though everyone is calculating and there is no truth. And there are also times when it feels as though everyone is betraying you. Or there are times when you receive a great wound. There are times when crisis comes and you feel as though there is no one to help.

1) The Babylonian invasion and Israel taken captive

A great hardship fell upon the nation of Israel. It was the time of King Zedekiah. Babylon invaded and gouged out both of King Zedekiah’s eyes. On the grounds that he was not obeying them well enough, they tore out his eyes. They bound that king with ropes and dragged him all the way to Babylon. They destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. It is horrifying. And among the people, those who were capable were taken captive. They were dragged away there.

But when that happened, some people also fled to other nations. Some even went as far as to naturalize themselves into powerful nations. And what is even more absurd, some people turned away from believing in God and fell into idol worship. At such a time, what word must one hold on to? What covenant must one hold on to at a time like this? This is not an old story — because the Word of God is fulfilled for eternity, it is also a present story. There is no way to receive an answer, I am in crisis, and there is no one to help. The very people I truly believed in betray me and run away. What must be done? What word must one hold on to — that is what I am asking.

The remnant.

2) It is natural

Why did such things happen?

The first thing to know is this — it is natural. What the Bible and history both give evidence of is that 99% of the people left. Ask them — they have reasons. “This is why we are leaving.” But there is a 1% who are the remnant. These people have no reason. Those who left have reasons. This remnant has no reason. God did world evangelization through these people. This is not my own saying. And it did not happen only once. It was always present in the Bible. It was always present in church history. For various reasons, people all leave God. Yet there is a very small minority — the remnant — who are holding on to this covenant.

3) One whom God has set apart (Remnant)

Today you must hold on to this covenant. I am the remnant who saves my family line. You must hold on to the precise covenant God has given. I am the remnant who saves the field. The Remnant right now — those Remnant who are alone in foreign countries — do not worry. I am the remnant who will save this region. That is certain. It is okay to be lonely. It is okay to have no one to help. Not just any remnant, but one whom God has set apart. And so in English this is also called Remnant.

2. What God blessed the remnant with

Today He blessed the remnant. “He will make peace flow to you like a river.”

※ Without knowing the gospel, offering oxen and sheep and burning incense is the same as murder and idol worship.

Today there was not enough time to read everything, but what does verse 3 of chapter 66 say? Verse 3 speaks to those who ran away. “What is the use of slaughtering an ox for sacrifice? Without even knowing the gospel, what use is it to slaughter an ox for sacrifice? It is like committing murder. Without knowing the gospel, what is the use of offering a lamb? It is like breaking a dog’s neck. What is the use of burning incense? It is like idol worship.” Those are words spoken to those who ran away. They are words spoken to those who have departed from God.

1) He will make peace flow like a river and overflow to the nations.

And then comes the blessing — “He will make peace flow to you like a river. And also cause it to overflow to the nations.” Hard to believe, isn’t it? Not looking at my own abilities. It has already been fulfilled.

2) As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you.

To what extent? “As a mother comforts her child.” A mother never condemns her own child. That’s right? Even when told the child did wrong, she doesn’t believe it. Even if it’s true, she thinks it was a mistake. A mother tries to help her child. A mother tries to save her child. It should be as a father comforts a child, but it says as a mother comforts a child. Much will come to mind.

3) When the time comes, He will gather the nations and peoples.

“When the time comes, He will gather all nations and peoples. He will make His glory known through you to the nations.” What does that mean? “He will make this light of glory known.” You may not be able to believe it.

(1) People sunk in darkness

But people are sunk in darkness, aren’t they? They don’t even know why they are living. Two things keep on increasing. Mental illness and suicide — they keep increasing. A person who has a mental illness did not get it because they wanted to. That’s right? It is not their fault. The dark environment made them that way. That’s right? You cannot simply say, “That person is a bit crazy.” Someone who commits suicide — it is not something to mock. Captured by this darkness, with the hope of living cut off, they made that wrong choice themselves. Because this light was not shone.

(2) Be resolved

You must be resolved. God has set me apart as a remnant to shine light into the darkness. Without doubt. If you hold that covenant, the answer comes. No other answer is of use. Eating well and living well — you don’t even need to believe in God for that. It’s because disasters have come crashing in. That’s right? Darkness is serious. Continuously in America, the number of people wandering the streets has begun to increase. Compared to about ten years ago, it has doubled. In Japan, the number of people who don’t go outside but stay quietly in their homes has increased. Some don’t even open the door when their family brings them food. The fact is that this is actually increasing. I was quite shocked — this time when I was in Japan, I saw that Missionary Kim Yeong-gon was doing the work of feeding Japanese children. There were no one to feed the children — I’m not sure of the reason, but with no one to feed them, they were going hungry. There must be reasons. In any case, there are many children going hungry in that advanced nation, Japan. Children gathered from Taiwan, Europe, and America — the majority of them are tormented at night. We absolutely cannot just judge and criticize them. They are captured by darkness, and it is not their own fault. It is because they are gripped by darkness that this happened. It is Israel’s fault — that is what this says. So they were taken captive. It is the church’s fault — that is what this says. So the temple was destroyed. Is God playing games? He is telling us something right now.

This is the promise given to the remnant.

3. The Bible — three kinds of readers

The Bible has three kinds of readers.

1) What reaches even unbelievers

There are parts that even reach people who have received no salvation at all. “You did this right, you did this wrong — you will be punished.” That kind of content exists. It reaches even unbelievers.

2) What reaches only the saved

However, the Bible has parts whose purpose is only to reach the saved. The blood covenant. This — someone who has not received salvation simply cannot understand it. Christ. This is something only the saved can take in.

3) The message given to those who will move the world

However, there is a separate message given to those who will move the world. That is what has come out right now. You don’t even need to memorize it. You only need to believe.

▣ Main

There are three things.

1. One who holds the secret

First, what is it? He revealed a secret. This prophecy and its fulfillment right now — it is a secret. Why they became captives, when they became captives, when they would return — this is a secret, I tell you. When that happens, there are several things that are promised.

1) You will survive alone.

In any situation, you will survive. Even when alone, you will survive.

2) Spiritual reality

In many respects, you must see spiritual reality. This must be absolutely remembered.

3) The opposite side

God’s plan is almost always in the place you did not expect — on the opposite side. Not knowing this, people keep searching elsewhere. It is in a place you would never have imagined. They were taken captive, yet the answer is right there. That’s right? Almost always. They went to prison, and the answer is there. It is beyond imagination.

4) No competition

There is no need to compete. You will end up saving other people. You win without fighting. Without even having fought.

5) Nobody

There is no one to help me. Nobody. Yet God is guiding me.

Think about it. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego confronted the king, and there was no one to help. Most people think that using humanism day and night is the way. Those people set the frame. To kill Daniel. That’s right? There is no one to help. Strangely, there are people who kill others and try to make things their own way. There are figures like Haman. This cannot be overcome, I tell you. But God makes it possible to overcome. It is a secret.

2. One who holds the background

And the second. It is not only a secret that is held. There is a background. A winning background — you must hold this.

1) The power of the throne

What is the first of it? The power of the throne is yours. Isaiah chapter 6. That’s right?

2) The power of the gospel

Only the power of the gospel overcomes darkness. Isaiah 7:14. We know this.

3) The power of the Word

“The power of the Word. The Word of the Lord will never pass away. Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.” By only waiting on the Word, strength will be gained. Isaiah chapter 40.

4) The power of prayer

The power of prayer — it was explained, and that is the background. “When you pray, I will do a new thing. Do not remember the former things. Do not think of things of old. The reason — I will do a new thing. I will make a way in the wilderness. I will make rivers flow in the desert.” That is God’s power, and enjoying it is prayer.

5) The power of restoration

“He will restore the world with light. Those who have fallen into darkness.” That is Isaiah chapter 60.

6) Bartizan

And “He has set you as a bartizan who moves God, who moves the throne.” That is Isaiah chapter 62. That is our background.

7) The remnant (Isaiah chapter 66)

And today He has made a final promise. Hold it firmly. If you listen to the voice of demons and do not believe the Word of God, what will happen? People listen to the words of men — why not the Word of God? You must hold firmly to the Word of God. This covenant was held and prayed upon. This must be absolutely remembered.

3. One who is not deceived

The third. Do not be deceived. Things keep coming up that cause you to be deceived again.

1) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

They gathered all the former military, ministers — in our terms, former politicians — and built a shrine. Bow down there — that is what it is. Satan does that. In Egypt they set it up and said bow down. That is how it comes. In Rome they set it up and said bow down. In the old days Japan set it up and said bow down. It is the same. Satan has no distinction of Japanese-made or American-made. It is the same. The same thing happened.

Everyone was bowing, and only Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused. They were not deceived. A person gets deceived by the atmosphere. What is even more absurd is that the king was flustered and asked why they had not done it. The king liked those three men very much. So he said, “Just do it once. Just once.” “O king, we have no need to answer you in this matter. The Lord will deliver us.” That comes up next week. “But even if He does not.” You must not be deceived. We keep getting deceived. Reality is frightening — there is nothing to fear, yet it feels frightening and so on.

Yet they won completely, didn’t they? The king himself praised the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

2) Daniel

Sure enough. The evil things these wicked people do are always the same. Then and now. Because Daniel was doing well, they did every vile thing to kill Daniel. That is how it always goes. There is nothing to fear. It is to be expected. What else is there for those sunk in darkness to do? That’s right? It is natural. Daniel was not afraid at all. First, in order to kill someone, they need to create the conditions to do so. They found Daniel’s weakness — hiding and watching around the clock — around the clock, searching for others’ weaknesses, around the clock. Looking carefully, he was praying. They seized on that as a weakness. And then they went to the king and knew how to persuade him. What did they say? “The king is the god of our nation. Anyone who serves something other than the king must be killed.” If a child of light had heard those words, they would have objected. But these are children of darkness, so hearing those words felt wonderful to them. “Yes, I am the king, and I am the god.” A law was set. Anyone who serves a god other than the king — the death penalty. And so the king stamped his royal seal on it. The king’s royal seal is a ring stamp. He stamped it. And then they brought the accusation. Daniel was caught.

Daniel did not waver at all. You must not be deceived. Receiving the death sentence, he knelt three times a day, facing toward the temple, and prayed with thanksgiving — so it says. He prayed with thanksgiving. He had to enter the lion’s den. That is what the law said. The king suddenly realized — “I was played by schemers.” There was nothing he could do. The law was the law.

But as Daniel was about to go into the lion’s den, the king spoke to Daniel. “May the God whom you always serve rescue you.” And then he threw him into the lion’s den. And also, there was a law. After throwing someone in — if after one day they were not dead, they had to be released. So very early in the morning, the king went to find him. Having been counting the hours precisely — because he cared so much for Daniel, he was anxious — watching the time. When the time came, he spoke. Do you know what he said? “O Daniel, servant of the Most High God.” That is the kind of thing our Remnant must hear. That’s right? “Has the God whom you always serve been able to deliver you?” If there is no sound, that means he is dead. That’s right? The king called out, heart pounding with anxiety. He called only once, and from inside — what did he hear? The voice of Daniel. “O king, live forever.” That is the greeting a servant gives to a king. “Last night the angel of the Lord shut the mouths of the lions, and they have not harmed me.” The king gives the order. Pull Daniel out. And those who had accused Daniel — they were thrown in. The Bible records it like this. “Those people were thrown into the lion’s den, and before their bodies even hit the ground, the lions had devoured them all.” Like a volleyball being tossed up and caught.

3) Esther

Esther — the same. Do not be deceived.

One who holds the secret. One who knows the background. One who is not deceived.

▣ Conclusion

But why does He do all this? The conclusion has come out.

1. 237

In verse 12. “He will cause the light of glory to overflow.” Because that is what must happen. And verses 12, 18, and 19 — this light must be shone upon the nations. That is 237.

2. 5000

And what does verse 19 say? “Shine the light to the distant islands.” That is the 5,000 tribes. That’s right? So God cannot help but bless the remnant.

3. What happens during worship, prayer, and crisis

Do you know what is happening right now? During the time you worship and pray — during the time you are facing crisis — God sent angels that transcend the fourth dimension to protect the three young men in the fire. Daniel must have prayed when he entered the den. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must have prayed when they entered the fire. It is recorded that God certainly sent His angel and sealed the mouth of the lion.

Why don’t people believe? There are many who don’t believe. Because they haven’t died yet.

You’ve heard stories of people dying, haven’t you? From beside them. I have seen many dying people. Because I served as an assistant pastor for a long time. There is no exception. An unsaved unbeliever — the devil comes and drags them away. They say so with their own mouths, I tell you. A saved person — an angel comes and escorts them away. It is astonishing.

So even right now, during the time you are praying, God sends His angel to protect you.

Last week, many answers were also fulfilled. I sent our music team to the island nations. Go. Play together with them. Only then will you understand the situation. That is 100%. Field 100%. It was not merely a matter of receiving grace when they went. The Solomon Islands, Vanuatu — everyone was deeply moved, in the midst of grace. While they were doing that, the president came out in person, and politicians encouraged them. Looking at the photos this time, Kim Jeong-hun was treated completely as a distinguished guest. At home in Korea he is always treated poorly, but going there he was received as a distinguished guest. And it was not just that. The place with the greatest influence is the Solomon Islands, as you know. In the Pacific War, the Solomon Islands is the region where 3,000 of our soldiers died. A certain person who attended a mission conference there asked me to pray for them, so I prayed. I could feel that this person was resolved to preach the gospel. And then that week, this person became the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands. And it was not just — “He became prime minister, how wonderful.” He sent us a document, I tell you. He said that as the answer to that prayer at the time, he is now prime minister, and could we please send a celebratory message. What is even more remarkable is that I had not remembered it, but he kept all the photos we had taken together and sent them to us. The door to 5,000 tribes is opening. Today, let the light shine upon the island nations, upon those distant islands. So He said: I will take responsibility for you. I will comfort you as a mother comforts her child. Not peace that overflows, but peace like a river. Today, you don’t have to do everything. You can hold on to just one covenant and pray for just five minutes. Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank God. Thank You for giving us the grace to shine light upon those who are sunk in darkness. Let this light shine throughout the whole world. Let the peace of the Lord flow like a river. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

When God Called Abraham

2026.05.24 District Message Week 21
「When God Called Abraham」(Ge 11:27-12:9)

The Three-Day Weekend Age / Three Courtyards / Holy Meditation Age
[Abraham, the One Who Was Called]

Introduction – Confirmation
1. Word
2. Prayer (Power)
3. Evangelism

Main
1. The Reason for Calling (Destiny)
2. Unbelief (Circumstances)
3. Time of Failure
4. Preparation

Our church is now receiving many people from multiple ethnicities. There are also those who have come in search of the gospel movement, in search of the gospel from other churches. And among those, there are also many who originally had the gospel but have come to our church after moving up to Seoul from regional areas.

You will have many various thoughts. You do not need to do anything. The blessings you have never once done — what is in the Bible — must be restored. You must come to Immanuel Seoul Church and restore it. What to do and how to do it comes second. We keep changing the order, and that is why things don’t work well. When I am trying to go to sleep, I must start by taking off the outer layer — if I keep trying to take off the inner layer first, that doesn’t work. It would eventually work if you kept at it all the way through, but how difficult would it be to start by taking off the inner layer? So in receiving answered prayer, there is an order, isn’t there? What does the Bible say first? The people from multiple ethnicities who come to our church must absolutely experience this. Especially those who have come searching for the gospel — you must absolutely confirm this. It is even better when the family does it together. Because whatever children did together with their parents at a young age — they absolutely never forget it. You will have tried going out with your children to eat, and things like that. Going to a relative’s home together — you will have done that. That too remains as a memory. But the things that truly needed to be done were not done.

What did the Bible teach? That families did it together.

[Three-day weekend]

Focus on the three-day weekend. A church like ours — since it is a good season right now and it is spring and summer, we make it possible to pitch tents. We need to make use of the advantages of our church. The tents are simply lent out free of charge. Families come, pitch them, and do the prayer movement there. It is not a matter of pitching all the tents in advance and having them walk in. The children come and pitch them together. When Jewish people observe these three feasts, they pitch tents together. And in doing so, they hold important events.

In fact, Jesus Himself also bore the cross on Friday, entered into suffering on Saturday, and then rose on Sunday. You need to know that the dark organizations of the entire world make use of the three-day weekend. You need to know that many of the recreational activities happening right now are done during the three-day weekend. But young people do not like going around with their parents. That is your misunderstanding. Because they need to find their own world — it is not that they dislike their parents, it is simply that it does not fit. And because of that, they can end up meeting the wrong children. This is how it happens that drug parties in America are held on the three-day weekend. Almost all Americans are not at home on the three-day weekend. Where do they go and what do they do? It is obvious.

If we fail to dominate the three-day weekend, there will be serious trouble. People at church who have moved here, people from multiple ethnicities — gather just these people and try starting this gathering once. When first starting, even if it is just Friday, I will come and deliver the messages that absolutely must be known, and then go. I will tell you what needs to be done over the three days, and then go. You must do it. You cannot just listen passively. Because we have never once shown our next generation a truly proper spiritual blessing. Of course God will teach them, but there is an enormous difference between showing and not showing. Children who have seen their parents fighting a lot at home — they go out and fight. That’s right? And for their whole lifetime. Because what was seen and imprinted is that. So the Bible says — pitch the tents of the three feasts together with your children. Especially the three-day weekend. In fact, the Sabbath is Saturday, but these people start from Friday. You must do it.

[Three courtyards]

What is the content? Three courtyards. You must enable them to see the world. You must let them know what healing and the summit are. You must let them know what the Remnant is. You teach them everything else and fail to teach only this, and so they spend their entire lives as servants of money. No money — just serving. They should be commanding money but they cannot. They have to chase after it. That’s how people live and die in this world, I tell you. You must absolutely change this to 300%. This must actually be done, that is what I am saying. How do the children do prayer and academic work at 300%? Without being guided. The church must do this. How can a school make it 300%? At school, even if you come in first place, it is only 100%. You need to make it so that when the children go out into the world, they are able to win.

[Holy meditation age]

It was with this (the holy meditation age) in view that God called Abraham.

“Abraham who was called”

Abraham could not understand it. He thought, “I don’t even have children — what’s this about doing things together with children?” He thought, “No, I don’t even know where I am supposed to go and live — what am I supposed to do preparing three courtyards? I can barely afford to eat right now — how am I to do world evangelization?” It doesn’t add up. “Through your seed” — and he doesn’t even have a child. “Through your seed all nations shall be blessed.” It was not that he could not believe it — it did not fit, with himself. That is his mistake. The Word was fulfilled exactly as it said.

▣ Introduction — Confirmation

So when you worship today as well, you must always confirm things.

1. The Word

Right now I am gathered here — what is the Word saying? Doesn’t it come out? For me, the answer comes right away. The first worship gathering — the upper room in Mark. That is what this hour is today. That’s right? The spiritual world changes. Not trying to receive an answer — it comes. Not trying to find health — it comes. Spiritual strength comes, I tell you. Only when you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit will you receive power. You will become witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. This is the field you have come to. You must confirm it.

2. Prayer (strength)

You must confirm prayer. Did you clearly come today having gained strength through prayer? You must confirm it. Then Jesus spoke of the throne, the bartizan, and the journey. Since I must always gain strength from this, it has been confirmed for me through the 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts. You don’t have to do it exactly that way. You must confirm the way in which you personally gain strength. Because Abraham could not confirm this, strange things kept happening.

3. Evangelism

In this way, other people are saved through you. That is evangelism. This must be confirmed. This week, an enormous door to 5,000 tribes has opened. I will say more during the message, but because I need to ask for your prayers — many important things happened. Someone who attended our mission conference came to me and asked for prayer, and I prayed for them. That person went back, and last week became prime minister. They sent a message pledging to pursue world evangelization. Tremendous things like this are continuing to open the door to the 5,000 tribes. It is being confirmed, isn’t it?

▣ Main

1. The reason He called (destiny)

Abraham did not at first understand well the reason he was called. He was told to leave Ur of the Chaldeans. Go to the land I direct you to. Go to the land I will show you. That is what it said. There is a tremendous reason here. Take hold of a timetable that will change your destiny.

2. Unbelief (circumstances)

This Abraham fell into unbelief. Because — there is such a thing as circumstances. A fortune teller talks about circumstances. God does not talk about circumstances. That’s right? The circumstances are difficult. But God speaks of the future. Not the current circumstances. He is telling you the most important thing you must do now that you have come here. So we, without this (destiny) being changed, keep following this (circumstances). And Abraham also fell into unbelief.

3. Failure

Failure keeps coming. Even when told to go at first, he did not go. His father passed away. His brother passed away. Famine comes. Only then does he go. But even after going, he could not believe, so where did he go? He went to Egypt. He nearly died there.

4. Preparation

What did God prepare? Not knowing that. It is not circumstances. God has what He has prepared, I tell you. It is that He will deliver you from curse, unbelief, and idols. And now He will guide you with God’s new grace and blessing. And He will make you the ancestor of faith and plant the seed of salvation. And more importantly — He will bless you and your offspring and family and save the world. He later came to understand.

5. Three decisions

At that point, what happens? Three very decisive decisions take place.

1) Genesis 13:18

He yields everything and begins to build an altar. This was the beginning.

2) Ishmael

And knowing that there would be no child, he fell into unbelief and a child was born. Who was it? Ishmael. Ishmael is not the problem — it is that Abraham fell into unbelief and fathered him. This offspring is the Muslim people today. This offspring is the enemy attacking Israel to this day. It is frightening, isn’t it? He sends Ishmael away. We as humans would ask how he could do that, but Abraham completely cast off his unbelief. It is a great decision. At that point Isaac is given.

3) Genesis 22:1-23

And then God tests Abraham again. He is asked to offer his son. At this point Abraham makes an important decision. He understood that what God was asking was not really that He wanted him to offer his son. That’s right? He answered like this. When his son asked, he said — “God will provide.” He waited for what God would provide. He had begun to build the altar.

Launch the three movements of the three-day weekend, the three courtyards, and the holy meditation age together with your children, their friends, and your relatives. The world will not do this. Even if everything else is done, this will not be done. Do this in our church. Do it here. That is why God sent people here. God sent people even to Busan to places where this can be done. It cannot be done elsewhere. Your next generation goes through life having never seen this once? I think that is a great misfortune. I think that means they met the wrong church. That is how I think. I think it means they met the wrong parents. Not knowing, and using the excuse that we did not have time, we could not show this (the three-day weekend, three courtyards, holy meditation age) together to our next generation. Hold it as a covenantal resolve and do it in the church.

▣ Conclusion — World evangelization

From this point on, the blessings coming to Abraham are tremendous. Without doubt, they were fulfilled. Through Abraham’s family, world evangelization that no one could have imagined took place. Before long, Abraham’s grandson Joseph went into Egypt and became prime minister. Of course along the way Isaac, Judah, Jacob, and many children came, but it was completely through Joseph that world evangelization took place.

Today you must confirm what word God is giving to you. That is all. Through that, answered prayer will keep coming. You need to have this experience. No other experience is necessary. There are words given to me throughout my lifetime, but today what word to me — just confirm that and pray for five minutes. You cannot memorize everything. But just by doing that, spiritual change begins to take place. What is happening when we worship and pray? I will explain that during the 1st service today. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, may today also be a day of gaining strength; may we gain not the strength of the world but the strength that God gives. Help us to pass on to our next generation the strength that overcomes the world. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Booking Public Servants of the 5000 Tribes

2026.05.23 Scattered Disciples
The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237-5000 (21)
– Model of 7∙7∙7 67 –
World Public Servants Missions Conference Lecture 4
「Booking Public Servants of the 5000 Tribes」(Ge 45:1-5)

4 Disciple — Hidden Card

The last, the fourth. You — leave just one absolute disciple. This is the hidden card. You only need to leave one absolute disciple.

Only if you do that will you see the scattered disciples. This becomes the exact conclusion.

1. Absolute Disciple

While you are a civil servant, leave just one absolute disciple.

Something that happened at a military base. A person who held the gospel made one true disciple. He was discharged and left. The remaining disciple kept teaching. Continuously. Later, when they got discharged and left, they went into companies. Those ones went into universities. So that is how it started at a naval base. And looking at that, it is called the Navigators. I looked at the Navigator training and I don’t do it. The gospel is too weak. And other things are too strong. Not saying it works or it doesn’t, not saying it’s right — it just doesn’t sit well with me personally. However, what those people did well was that they left this (the absolute disciple). Civil servants must absolutely do this.

2. The Scattered

Civil servants — another important aspect is that although there are many people, you can see the scattered ones. You must be able to see them. Right now all seven Remnant did this.

3. TCK, NCK, CCK

Let me speak last of all — what should civil servants do for world evangelization? I spoke about this in the morning. Among the children of civil servants, or among the civil servants — find these (TCK, NCK, CCK). Answers beyond imagination will come.

So all of us, in fact — we need to look at how God used civil servants and learn from it. Why? The Bible says so. God sent all seven Remnant as civil servants, I tell you. Later when the age of wanderers came, those who burrowed into it were all civil servants who burrowed in. So our evangelists must make use of civil servants. Even when going to mission fields, the first people to meet are professors or civil servants. The goal is this (TCK, NCK, CCK). Every day this (Core Introduction 1 — spiritual secret) answered response will come to you. Every day this (Core Introduction 2 — work secret, 3 — evangelism and missions secret) will happen. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, being confident that this will be the day you are assured of being the central figures of world evangelization.

Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank you, God. God who has blessed civil servants, we thank You. Let them appear as a message that saves the world. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you. When our Remnants lead the worship in song, it is clearly different.

The Civil Servants World Mission Conference is taking place. We all should be like this, but because God uses civil servants in a special way, you must prepare in a special way. So there are several messages I have given to you.

1 Today (Throne)

Enjoy today to the fullest. Why? Only today — only what you pray for today — becomes imprinted on the throne. The answer comes after that. People make a mistake here. Those who cannot wait will miss it even when the answer has fully arrived. All believers should be this way, but civil servants especially so.

2 Meeting (7P)

Make meetings the greatest blessing. Why is that? Inside there are 7 points. Inside this are included the Remnant and the pilgrim, I tell you. Because we don’t know who they are, we make meetings the best.

3 Field (7·7·7 work)

Today the third message that our global civil servants must take with them. Make the field the best. Why? In the field, this (7·7·7) work comes out. In the end, what Christ has given — that bartizan of the throne, the journey, the guidepost — is not just floating in the air, but is applied in the field.

I always tell new members this when I meet them. Because new members face hardship, not knowing how things will turn out. I tell them the Schwab story. He took a job as a janitor. He became the greatest janitor of all who had ever lived in the world. He later became the president of a steel company that moves the world. What he did was make the field a blessing.

I tell them the Wanamaker story. Wanamaker came from a poor family, so he took a job as a store clerk. He became the king of department stores worldwide. He didn’t do anything especially unusual. He just kept making meetings and the field a blessing. He wrote down thousands of customers and remembered all of their characteristics, dates, and birthdays. So naturally, great world-level things came of it.

“Hidden Missionary”

Why? Especially civil servants are like this. Because they are hidden missionaries. Of course they can do visible missions as well, but civil servants are hidden missionaries. A hidden missionary must hold several secrets.

▣ Introduction

1. Spiritual secret [Textbook]

You must hold a spiritual secret. That is precisely what Christ has given us — this part must become a complete textbook. Life is the same, yet you are a different person. All spiritual blessings are fulfilled through you. Because you hold the secret. The forces of darkness, because of you, crumble even while you are just staying still. It is not about fighting darkness. When you shine the light, darkness flees. This must completely settle into your heart to become a textbook.

1) 3 concentrations
Comfortably do 3 concentrations. It is a secret. Nobody knows. When you wake up in the morning, comfortably turn all your thoughts and messages into prayer. The places you must go today — especially 7·7·7. During the day, turn all the thoughts that come to you, all the things you see, into prayer. At night, you begin to leave works of a lifetime. Do it little by little.

2) Every day, every hour, every matter
Enjoy this every day. And every hour. Civil servants cannot go somewhere and hold a special evangelism meeting. Every matter. Turn all of this into prayer. You cannot underestimate this. What happens then? The Remnant finally study not with study separate from prayer, but with prayer and study together. This is formidable. In the civil servant field, keeping work and prayer separate is very difficult. You go to work within the power of prayer. You must first receive this.

3) 24, 25, 00
This is what is called 24. So when difficulty suddenly arises, the answer comes first. You take that with you. When crisis comes, an enormous opportunity is already visible. You take that with you.

Then finally, the invisible begins to become visible — but before that, something happens. Before that, for those who are perishing, disaster already descends on them. Before that — what is it? Much spiritual background is being built. This is what is called 25.

Works are inevitably made. One day the answer begins to visibly arrive. That is eternity.

Civil servants enjoy this as a secret. Being special? Don’t worry about that. That is what people of a lower level do. “What should I do going forward?” Don’t worry about that. Those are people who don’t know this (Introduction section 1). People who don’t know the way keep asking, “Which way do I go?” A person who knows the way — why would they carry a map every day on the way to their own home?

2. Work secret — 300%

And then, what is the next thing a civil servant must have? The second thing that comes — a tremendous work secret.

Now, once you first have the spiritual secret, nobody knows this, I tell you. It looks like something abstract. To someone with darkened spiritual sight, it looks like, “What is this, what does this mean?” But this is the most real thing there is. Why? A certain person had a severe seizure disorder come upon his body. Because he went to the battlefield and received a shock. The invisible comes first. Conversely, for you to bring about a great history of answered prayer, this (the spiritual secret) comes first, I tell you.

1) My work
From this point, my work. You unconditionally make this 300%.

We are the people who make this (300%). It is not about working and receiving a little wage and coming home — that kind of thing. We are the people who make this. Make my work 300%. That is what it means to be a gospel-holding civil servant.

2) Essentializing, fielding, objectifying
This is completely invisible. This word “300%” means finding the essence of anything. And then fielding it. Seeing what the field is. One of the most important things is objectifying it. If you lack objectivity, people who look at you will say you are lacking. Objectivity.

3) Individualizing, specializing, globalizing
And then individualizing, specializing, globalizing. This is not going to school to study. This (Introduction) must be studied every day. Going to school to study is a different matter. This is not what you learn in school. This is what you learn in actual prayer. Of course, studying and accumulating much knowledge is also good.

3. Evangelism (missions) secret

This is the secret of evangelism and missions that civil servants must hold and enjoy. You hold these three secrets firmly. Nobody can help you with this.

1) Those with spiritual problems
Those with spiritual problems — this is your evangelism and mission.

2) Those who are suffering
Do not miss the opportunity — those who are suffering.

3) When crisis comes
Whether in the field, at a company, or for an individual — when crisis comes, this is when all of it happens. As you know, crisis came to Babylon. Every time, the Remnant who were civil servants gave the answer. It comes, I tell you. Because of spiritual problems, disaster had to come upon Egypt. It came. They blocked all of it. Actually, it’s not even that they blocked it — they just gave the answer and it was blocked. Such a difference comes of it.

▣ Main — Obadiah

So now, you just need to be within this blessing. Let me give the example of one person, Obadiah.

1. Spiritual Power

If it becomes this way, you will become a civil servant with spiritual power. You become a civil servant who holds spiritual strength. This person is a minister of King Ahab, and a disciple of Elijah. If you have spiritual strength, what do you not need? You don’t need to worry about the future. It is already laid out. The most evil king, Ahab; the most important prophet, Elijah. He himself was between those two people. All the answers are there. What is there to worry about for the future?

We, surprisingly, have many church-going people who carry something like folk religion. There are many who thoughtlessly ask for blessings — a blessing-seeking faith. There are many who thoughtlessly seek opportunities — an opportunity-seeking faith. None of that. God has prepared everything.

1) Future
So if we just hold this answer, we see the most important future.

2) Crisis — absolute plan
And then — what? We confront crisis. This strength exists. What is the reason? Others do not know. Because we know God’s absolute plan. Obadiah was like that. This civil servant called Obadiah already knew the absolute crisis. So he went ahead and hid one hundred prophets. Because he knew.

3) Two things first
God always gave the Remnant — the civil servants who must carry the gospel — two things first.

He gave answers that the people living together with you and the elders do not know. They don’t know. Those people working alongside you don’t know. The answer comes precisely to you.

And the other thing? Going into the field, there are answers that the people there and the leaders don’t know. This is it. Every single one was like that.

Joseph had answers that his brothers did not have. He went before the king and had answers that the king did not have. When asked “How do you know this?” he said, “The Lord made it known to me.”

This is the spiritual power of hidden missionary civil servants.

2. Supporter

The second is what? The supporter of the Mt. Carmel and Mt. Horeb events. You are someone who saves many people. What did he do? He was completely a civil servant yet played the role of intermediary. What did he do?

1) Ahab — Elijah
He connected King Ahab and Elijah. Remarkable, isn’t it?

2) Folk religion — God
He connected folk religion and God. Who will win?

3) False — true prophet
He connected false prophets and true prophets.

This important role is what Obadiah played. Because you are in these two fields, you know all of it, don’t you?

3. Hidden Background

And then, what? He is the hidden background of the Dotan City Movement. You are the background for what will happen in the future. So the Dotan City Movement happened, and at that time the future was already seen — what was seen?

1) Ahab’s end
The end of King Ahab. God revealed it.

2) Elijah, Elisha
The end of Elijah and Elisha. This was all revealed at Mt. Horeb. Obadiah is the background who plays the hidden role here.

3) Aram
The end of the nation of Aram. He already knew this. This is not something difficult — God revealed everything to Elijah at Mt. Horeb. Obadiah knew this and served as the background. So the great Dotan City Movement took place. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Hidden missionary civil servants — hold the blessing of the throne and enjoy today. Because the greatest blessing, the 7 points, remains, make your meetings a blessing. Make the field the best.

▣ Conclusion

The last, fourth one. You — leave just one absolute disciple. This is the hidden card. Only if you do that will you see the scattered disciples. This becomes the exact conclusion.

Today, the second thing we need to think about is that there will be Remnant who will become civil servants in the future, right?

“Remnant Senior-Level Civil Servant”

Among these Remnant, not all, but quite a few very high-level civil servants have come out. You need to raise them. This is the second message for civil servants. What is the second message worthy of being a genuine Text, Hand, Notebook — mentioned earlier?

2 Make meetings the best (genuine strength)

Make meetings the best. This is not about doing something special in a meeting. When the seven Remnant had meetings, what happened? They ran errands, I tell you. Through meetings, genuine divine strength is transmitted to that person. Once you begin to pray, this (genuine strength) comes out. Because it comes out, other people look at you and gain strength. And it doesn’t show on the outside. Civil servants don’t show it on the outside. They cannot show it, right? They don’t show spiritual problems on the outside, I tell you. But when they meet you, that person gains strength and shows it. Every single one — from the king of Egypt to the king of Babylon — when they faced great difficulty, they gave them strength. That’s right, isn’t it? This is not a greatly difficult thing, is it? Some people, with every word, trouble others. Those are cursed people. Some people with every word pick at others’ statements, nitpicking. But you — with every word, you must give strength to others and save them. What about when someone does something wrong? That comes next. A person must first be alive to be corrected; you cannot correct the dead.

So now that it is already known that civil servants are important — for our Remnant to become civil servants, what must they start with? There are three things to do.

▣ Introduction

1. Individualization — Talent

Individualization. Talent. Finding one’s talent precisely is the first thing.

2. Specialization

Specializing this talent.

3. Globalization

Globalizing this specialization.

This must be done first.

1. Individualization — Talent (Bar Mitzvah)

The Jewish people have dominated the world — and the Jewish people call the discovery of one’s talent a bar mitzvah. The Remnant need to take note of this. People just say on their own, “I’m going to do this.” Of course it is up to themselves, but when Remnant do the Jewish bar mitzvah, all the experts gather and hold a forum. Right? “Is this right? Is this really what you are going to do? What do you want to do?” They go through everything. You have to pass that forum for it to become a bar mitzvah. For us, we just pick up whatever is at hand and call it ours. Does that work? No matter how hard you try, it will only reach your level, your parents’ level, your friends’ level. Of course that matters too.

2. Specialization (Synagogue)

Once that is done, you don’t just specialize it randomly. You connect it to the synagogue. And keep specializing it that way. You cannot help but win.

3. Globalization (Lodge)

You globalize it. The lodge. You need to know that the places in the world today where money is made — the Jewish people dominate them. That’s right? The important gold, the jewels, the economy in America — the Jewish people dominate them, as you know. They build a station in the very downtown, put in a department store, and put in a hotel alongside it. That is the Jewish strategy. No matter how much you borrow money, it’s fine. Why? Because the money will definitely come. In the very downtown, people cannot help but come. At the bottom is the station. Above that is the department store. And up above, they built residences — hotels. It cannot fail.

So it is a fact that they individualized, specialized, and globalized in this way. This must absolutely be remembered. Elders too need to remember, church work also needs to be done this way, pastors and missionaries need to remember this.

▣ Main — Civil Servant Prepared 300%

Looking at this is a civil servant prepared 300%. Of course there are procedures. You take tests, you have to pass everything, there are all the procedures. That is not what I am talking about right now. You know those procedures better than I do. What I am saying is that there is a different kind of strength that unbelievers do not have.

1. Genesis 45:1-5

Let me give a biblical example. It is the time of becoming prime minister and evangelizing the world.

1) Before going
Joseph already knew before he went.

2) At the field
Because he knew before going — because his talent and everything were truly precise — everything was fulfilled in the field. If this is lacking, you go to the field and miss everything.

3) Future
And within this is the future contained.

2. Exodus 5:1-12:12

Exodus chapter 5 verse 1 through chapter 12 verse 12 is the day of coming out of Egypt through the exodus.

1) Exodus 2:1-10
Moses already had it from childhood. Already.

2) Exodus 3:1-20
And now, while living in the palace, there were also many hardships, but finally the meeting comes. Finally the work happens at Mt. Horeb. It is the word to go to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. To take the Israelite people and bring them out. I will be with you. This is unmistakably God’s will.

3) Exodus 12:12
This is where it happens. Exodus chapter 12 verse 12. On that final morning, the work takes place. At this point, they come out of Egypt. They put the blood of the lamb on and come out.

Moses was in fact a civil servant. Joseph was also a civil servant. So once they were already 300% prepared, it was easy.

To some degree, when you were placed and assigned, the nation would have assigned you appropriately, right? The problem is that it must be completely made 300%. The person who meets you must receive genuine strength. You already have that strength, I tell you. You enjoy it. When? Today. Now. While you are doing that, the day of this (making meetings the best) comes. Because I am enjoying this, the meetings come, I tell you. And during civil service life, there isn’t much we can do freely, is there? This meeting comes about exactly. But there are people who have spiritual problems and have nowhere to say them. Something hidden is going on in our household and there is nowhere to speak of it. So they don’t go to a Christian — do you know where they go? They go to a fortune teller. Why? Because Christians won’t speak to them. It feels like even if I speak to the Christian next to me, it probably won’t work. Because of that feeling, they go to those possessed by spirits, I tell you. Someone with such a problem must be able to speak up right there beside you. It’s not difficult.

This is the second message civil servants must hold on to. When you are 300% prepared, true meetings come forth. The day Joseph was 300% prepared, God had him meet Pharaoh. That’s right? Up until then, it didn’t happen. Moses was not yet prepared until he was of age. The day he was 300% prepared, God had him meet Pharaoh. The word “300%” is extremely important. Meetings are in God’s hands.

3. 1 Samuel 17:1-47

As you know, the meeting of David and Goliath.

1) Psalms 78:70-72
David already had the strength to defeat Goliath beforehand. That’s right? He had it beforehand.

2) 1 Samuel 16:13
One day the schedule comes. Before that, this happened. David came to have a tremendous hidden strength. This is important. No one knows this. He was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.

Isn’t prayer the happiest thing for you? “He was greatly moved.” Prayer must be the easiest thing. Prayer is difficult? That is the hard part now.

3) Goliath
This is when he met Goliath. As you know, when he met Goliath, important words were exchanged. What is the most important part? What Goliath did the moment he saw David. That’s what I want to talk about. He cursed David in the name of his own nation’s god. At this point what did David answer? “I need no sword, spear, or javelin; I come in the name of the Lord whom you have mocked.” That’s what he said. This became (completely reversed), didn’t it? Could there even be a fight? “Today the Lord has delivered your neck into my hand. Life is not in the sword but in the Lord’s hand.” That’s right. And with that he finished it. Even if they clashed again, he would win. In a hundred battles, a hundred victories. David throwing — he is a master, simply put. When you go to catch an animal, you cannot miss the target. A skilled person always strikes the vital point precisely. But that lion is carrying a sheep in its mouth — to strike the lion’s vital point with a stone requires no ordinary skill. As for Goliath — well, that’s not even a contest.

He was prepared. 300%. Especially our Remnant absolutely must remember this.

4. 1 Kings 18:1-5

Look at how a civil servant prepared 300%.

1) Official
This person is a trusted official. Yes, Ahab the king is evil, and whatever else — that comes next. The more evil a person, what do they like? The more evil, the more they like someone who is beneficial to them. That’s right? “At my workplace, they look down on me.” That’s because you’re not yet beneficial to them. Ahab trusted him. He had the ability.

2) Disciple
And also he was Elijah’s disciple.

3) 100 people
And also he hid one hundred prophets. He was a civil servant prepared 300%.

5. Babylon

Now, in Babylon. This was a time of crisis, wasn’t it? What is the characteristic of these people?

1) Prophecy
It was prophesied. The reason was all explained in the prophecy, yet the fact that they failed to hold on to it is ridiculous.

2) High position
Though they became captives, what is their characteristic? They completely settled into high positions. At times like this, we get confused. High positions are good, right?

3) Decision
This is the decision they made. What kind of decision? The answer comes quickly. Why did God put them in this position? Why did we become captives? When will our nation be restored? The answer is obvious, isn’t it? They made their decision. From here they showed evidence. Nothing else. Day by day in their lives, the king looked at Daniel and thought, “Ah, truly God is with him.” That’s how it was. So when Daniel was about to be unjustly killed, the king said, “May the God whom you always serve protect you.”

▣ Conclusion — Monument

RT — TCK, CCK, NCK

In conclusion, among the disciples who will become civil servants, the most important are the Remnant, but also TCK. Raise CCK. They will come in great numbers in the future. NCK. The word “300%” — people truly cannot understand it well. You have gone to many fields, haven’t you? But seeing the field is 100%, and that is something extremely important within the 300%.

I called a musician from Immanuel Seoul Church and told them: “For 5,000 tribes, meet musicians in countries like Vanuatu.” They could not understand it. So inevitably I sent headquarters personnel. They had to go together and praise with them to understand the level of music. Right? Otherwise you cannot know what to help with. Otherwise you cannot do missions. Well, if you’re not going to do missions there’s not much need for it, but for those who will — it is necessary. And what do you call what was done this time when they came back? It is not a simple matter. That is the beginning of field 100%. You cannot fully see the field at 100%. That is what matters. Everything is like that.

So right now we need to raise and meet TCK, CCK, NCK civil servants. That’s right? There is no other way. So what did God send the Remnant as? Civil servants, I tell you. Because that’s how things get done. You are simply resting in blessing, but this is not an ordinary matter. So you — especially the Remnant — need to prepare; and our current civil servants must not try to do great things. In small things, 300%. Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank God who even now answers. May the power of the throne descend right now; may God’s kingdom come during the time we pray; and may the work of God’s kingdom come to pass in the places we have gone. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

(Hidden Watchman)

Although this is a work mission time, because today is the Civil Servants Mission Conference, I would like to first look at the prayer topic of the church leader in work who raised civil servants. You must consider it important and pray. In fact, all seven Remnant were civil servants. So the two things our people in work must pray for are: first, the strategy is to continuously and persistently raise civil servants spiritually. How so? I will give just one example. It is the physician Luke continuously sending messages to Theophilus, who was a civil servant. That turned into an influence that changed the world. Writing the Gospel of Luke and sending it to an individual is different from today. At today’s prices, it would cost about fifty million won to produce that book. Writing these scrolls — the difficulty involved is beyond words. And the content also had to be important, right? He sent two of them. He sent the Gospel of Luke, and he sent the Acts of the Apostles. The world was turned upside down in a completely invisible way. Civil servants are that important. From your perspective, it may look like you are within some kind of limitation, but from God’s perspective, because you exist in eternity as today, it is extremely important. Also, our church leaders in work must raise civil servants who are overseas. I will give just one example. The church leader Philip met the Ethiopian eunuch. Because the time was short, he gave him an eternal message. What kind of influence that had, we do not know.

(Genesis 37:11)

For that reason, simply put, Joseph went to Egypt as a civil servant. At first it appeared as though he went as a slave, but the purpose was elsewhere.

So I will give four messages to our civil servant team and mission team.

1 Text, Hand, Notebook — Today = the Best (throne, kingdom, work)

The first message. The textbook, handbook, and notebook that you must first make — what are they? It is making today the best. What will happen? It is impossible to know. For civil servants, everything is already fixed, and you cannot do things as you please. That’s right, isn’t it? Because there is a hierarchy of superiors and subordinates, it is not a place where you live as you like. The only freedom given to me is one thing. It is making today the best.

How do you make it so? You need to know a few things. Praying to make today the best — three things happen from this. You become imprinted on the throne. Every person. For believers, this means God’s kingdom is being realized. This is invisible. But it is precise. If as a child you set your mind to kill your father, you become imprinted in eternity. Simply put, it gets imprinted in complete darkness, in hell. After that happens, one day that situation comes. That is the kingdom. It is bound to come to pass. Work. For this reason, this day called today looks the same but it is not. One civil servant was a military civil servant, and he raised young people. Because it seems the area assigned to him was close to that. He raised young people — anyone and everyone raises young people. But why did only this person’s work draw attention? Later it spread to 200 countries. What did he do? What organization was it? Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts — that spreads to 200 countries. A soldier made it. A civil servant. When I asked why he made it, he said that by the time someone enters the army it is already too late. That’s something he felt while being a soldier himself. So what on earth is the point, then? What does he do that it spreads to 200 countries? I honestly looked into it. As I observed it, I felt something — “Ah, I see.” Many various things are done. There is one common thread. What is it? It is opening the eyes of children. So I thought, “Ah, that’s important.” What a child sees and suddenly grasps at a young age — that is extremely important, you see. Receiving a great impression about something good as a child is extremely important. Because it lasts a lifetime. Receiving a tremendous wound as a child — that also lasts a lifetime. And so this person kept doing that, and it spread to 200 countries.

But what we are trying to do is not that. Among the things happening in your field, it is not opening the eyes of many people, but correcting them. Because their eyes are diseased, no matter how much they look, it is of no use.

[Eyes]

Because of you, someone else in the field has something corrected — the way they see things.

▣ Introduction

1. Those who know the secret (Acts 1:3)

What is it? Are you not those who know the secret? Others do not know. You enjoy that today. Today looks like nothing, doesn’t it? But this is everything, I tell you. No, you just came back from work. That’s right. But that’s what matters. I will provide some evidence for that, but especially for civil servants — you have to do the fixed, obvious things; what can you do freely? In some respects, a civil servant running around doing evangelism everywhere — that too is out of place. There needs to be something. For that reason, we know this secret called the throne. We know it. When do we enjoy it? Right now. When? Today.

2. Those who know the reason (the gospel)

And we know the reason, don’t we? We know the reason. Right now, in the whole world — we also keep missing it ourselves, actually. We miss today. We always miss it in the field. But what does the whole world lack? The gospel. So because of this, we have lived until now, and we continue to live.

3. Those who know the problem (disaster)

And the civil servants in this Bible — what did they know? They were those who knew the problem. They knew what the problem was. So they saw disasters that others could not see, and they blocked them. All seven Remnant, every one of them, went into the field as civil servants and blocked disasters.

So what in the world does it mean to have made today the best? For a civil servant, saying you make today the best sounds like a vague statement, doesn’t it? For example, Elder Kim Yong-gi from Hana Church — he is a prison guard. He was probably hired because he was athletic and capable, or something like that. Then the whole place is full of prisoners, isn’t it? What does making today the best mean there? It does not mean nothing. Something must happen — someone must be moved by that prison guard Kim Yong-gi. We don’t know what will happen later. The first chaebol of our country — what is his name? This person before Chung Ju-young, in the old days. He went to China to sell ginseng. And not as his own business, but as a worker for someone else. A young girl was about to die — simply put, she was being trafficked and sold into prostitution. He saw this and helped her. He gave all the money from selling the ginseng and freed that child. She ran away. She remembered only this person’s name. This person came back to Korea and told his employer that he had encountered a child in danger and given away all the ginseng sales money. The employer called him a fool and fired him. The girl went into service as a maid in the most prestigious household in China. This child was no ordinary girl. She did everything exceedingly well. The chairman saw her and thought she was a truly remarkable child. The chairman’s wife saw her and thought the same. Then a strange thing happened. The chairman’s wife fell ill. So she pleaded and pleaded with the girl: “Do not marry; when I die, you tend to my husband.” That is how it came about. Simply put, she became the wife of China’s foremost chaebol. And so that woman came looking for this man. She spoke with her husband. The man who had saved her — a Korean man. And so that person took his hand and they started a business. A film was made, a book was written, and he became our country’s first chaebol.

For people, today matters. Doesn’t it? It is not about calculation.

▣ Main

1. Genesis 37:1-11 Slave → Prime Minister

Joseph. Joseph went as a slave. But when he went as a slave, he had already known the dream in Genesis chapter 37. So he went while enjoying the best prayer. Sure enough, he went as a slave to a powerful household. Obviously he would do the lowest work. But he made it the best right there. And so he was made household administrator. He went to prison. He moved the minister deeply. And then finally he met the king. Joseph did not try to advance himself. Looking at soldiers, their characteristic seems to be a strong interest in how to rise in rank; and looking at civil servants, their characteristic also seems to be a strong interest in promotion. That would be the case, naturally. But in some sense if that is truly everything — then what should you do? You need to live today. While you are a civil servant, while you are where you are now, someone must feel something because of you. It is not difficult at all. Because you already know this (the secret, the reason, the problem). Why? Because the eyes with which you see are different.

The way it is with us — when a problem like this arises, we say it’s a catastrophe. No. After a legal battle, Joseph went to prison, and the wife won, didn’t she? Did she win? No. Joseph went to prison. Did he lose? No. Because the way people look at things is so fixed like that, we miss what is truly real and barely eat and come out. And after coming out, we have to worry about food again. That’s natural, but still — that’s not quite right, is it?

What is the first message for you as civil servants? It is making today the best. It is invisible. But it will certainly come later.

2. Exodus 2:1-10 Adopted Son → World Leader

Who is it? Moses. Actually, he went as an adopted son. At first Moses missed it somewhat. Later he found it. Later he found this (the secret, the reason, the problem). His eyes were opened. He was transformed into a world leader. This was not something Joseph chose, nor was it something Moses chose. In some sense, true success is like that. I heard that a certain Remnant’s dream is to become president. So I gave him one piece of advice: “Do not try to become president. If many people tell you to do it, then do it.” These days politicians — everyone is telling them to stop, yet they themselves want to do it. You must not become that kind of politician. Many people keep telling you to do it, and you think it over carefully before doing it — that’s how it should be. Many people tell you to quit, but you cling to it stubbornly — those are strange people.

You need to remember. It is not about doing or not doing something. This is our faith and conviction. Civil service is not a place where you do as you please. That’s right, isn’t it? It is different from being a merchant. And so because you have spiritual eyes, you make today the best.

3. Psalms 78:70-72 Shepherd → King

David. He was a shepherd, then became a soldier, and while a soldier, became king. When he was a shepherd — there are many shepherds — when he was a shepherd, he made it the best. That’s right. He faced a crisis. Every shepherd throws a stone. It is not only David who throws. A national crisis came, and that is when he went out. So because he hit the lion’s vital point, hitting Goliath’s forehead is a simple matter. He became king. This is what we call true success — when David was being chased around, many loyal followers gathered around him and made David into a king, and so on.

4. 1 Kings 18:1-15 Official → Evangelizing Disciple

Obadiah. He is simply a high-level civil servant. He served as the king’s official. He completely hid one hundred prophets, disciples of evangelism who would save the world. That’s how it came about.

5. Esther 2:1-10, Esther 4:1-16 Queen → Missionary

And look at this. A fascinating story comes out. Esther became queen. She is a special-class civil servant. She became queen and completely saved Israel, and became a missionary who saves that nation. Truly a hidden missionary. That is what a civil servant is.

Looking at the characteristic here — in Esther chapter 2, something Mordecai said is recorded. “When you enter the palace, absolutely do not reveal that you are Jewish.” That is what he said. There is a real secret in that. Later, Israel was about to be entirely wiped out. Then comes the word: “Speak now. You are there for just such a time as this.” That’s right. You must become that kind of person. You exist for just such a time. At that point Esther answers simply. She said that if she dies, she dies. There is no greater answer than that. She is saying she will do it, even if she dies. And so amazing things happen.

And so this time’s Civil Servants Mission Conference is important. So because the whole world is listening, these four messages need to be taken. The first of them — what is it? — it is making today the best. What is the way to make today the best? There must be many ways. It would differ by situation. Even today, as I was coming here thinking of you, I prayed the 7·7·7 prayer earnestly. Because you need it.

▣ Conclusion → Darkness

Then what conclusion emerges? People are living in darkness like this, in reality.

Light → Darkness

You are shining forth a light that is invisible to the eyes. Christ is the light. So it is said of you that you are the light. You only need to shine this light.

(Hidden Bartizan)

So it is not simply a hidden missionary, but a hidden bartizan. And a bartizan is one who guards. What? Blocking crisis, blocking death so that people do not die, and when a great problem comes, sounding the alarm. This is the bartizan. Therefore you are a hidden bartizan.

To put it in a slightly strange way — you don’t need to do anything. Simply being a civil servant as you are is the blessing. You need to know that. Moment by moment, you make today the best. Tomorrow when you worship on Sunday, you pray, right? That is the best time. Don’t ruin it. If you ruin that, you ruin the next day and the day after and everything. What is eternity? Eternity is not something separate. Today connects and links forward, and that is where eternity exists. Isn’t that so? It is not that eternity just appears out of nowhere. Now is what matters. What you are thinking, what covenant you are holding — that is everything.

All church leaders in work nationwide and throughout the world — today must become a day of praying for civil servants. Civil servants must take this message with them. Not just casually — as a complete text. The word “text” means you are embedded in the message. The word “hand” means it is always present in daily life. What is a “note”? It is something recorded. This word “book” does not necessarily mean a literal book. Meetings, reservations, and various things. In English, when making a restaurant reservation, you use this word. “I’m calling to book a table at your restaurant.” That’s how it’s used. So it is an extremely important word. You need to firmly hold onto this. Then that’s all. What about the rest? God takes care of it. Because this does not happen, many people are errand-running under unbelievers and getting broken. Not to even mention pastors and missionaries. This needs to happen. Because it doesn’t, people go in the opposite direction. They end up making today the worst. That won’t do.

Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and God’s eternal love, and the working of the Holy Spirit always be with all civil servants across the nation and the world, from now until eternity. Amen.

Happy Day

Hymn
Happy Day
Philip Doddridge

O happy day that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day;
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

’Tis done—the great transaction’s done;
I am my Lord’s, and He is mine;
He drew me and I followed on,
Rejoiced to own the call divine.  Refrain

Now rest, my long-divided heart,
Fixed on this blissful center, rest;
Here have I found a nobler part,
Here heav’nly pleasures fill my breast.  Refrain

High heav’n that hears the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear!
Till in life’s latest hour I bow,
And bless, in death, a bond so dear.  Refrain

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

Hymn
O Day of Rest and Gladness
Christopher Wordsworth

O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing “Holy, holy, holy,”
To the great God Triune.

On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee, our Lord victorious,
The Spirit sent from heav’n;
And thus on thee, most glorious,
A triple light was given.

Today on weary nations
The heav’nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.

New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father, and to Son;
The church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

Responsive Reading
Revelation 21

Leader: Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
People: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Leader: I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
People: prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Leader: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
People: Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people,

Leader: and he will dwell with them. They will be his people,
People: and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Leader: There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain,
People: for the old order of things has passed away.”

Leader: He who was seated on the throne said,
People: “I am making everything new!”

Scripture Reading
Isaiah 66:12-24
Carmetta Williams

For this is what the Lord says:

“I will extend peace to her like a river,
    and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried on her arm
    and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
    so will I comfort you;
    and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”

14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice
    and you will flourish like grass;
the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants,
    but his fury will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,
    and his chariots are like a whirlwind;
he will bring down his anger with fury,
    and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 For with fire and with his sword
    the Lord will execute judgment on all people,
    and many will be those slain by the Lord.

17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens, following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs, rats and other unclean things—they will meet their end together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.

18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done, am about to come and gather the people of all nations and languages, and they will come and see my glory.

19 “I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels. 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

Message
The Promise Given to Those Who Remain
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

▣ Introduction
1. The covenant to hold onto when a crisis comes and there is no one to help: the Remnant
…1) The Babylonian invasion and the situation of Israel taken captive
…2) What is natural – 99% who left God for a reason, and 1% who remained without a reason (world evangelization)
…3) Those whom God has kept (Remnant) – “I am the Remnant who will save my family line, my field, and my region.”

2. The blessings God gave to the Remnant
…1) He will make peace flow like a river and overflow to the nations.
…2) As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.
…3) When the time comes, He will gather the nations and all peoples. He will reveal His glory to the nations through you. He will reveal this light of glory.
……(1) Those who have fallen into darkness – mental illness, increasing suicide
……(2) Be resolved: “God has established me as a Remnant to shine light into the darkness.”
▷ Not knowing the gospel and offering cattle and sheep and burning incense is the same as murder and idol worship.

3. The Bible – three categories
…1) What even unbelievers can understand.
…2) What only the saved can understand – the blood covenant, Christ
…3) The message given to those who will move the world = today’s message (just believe.)

▣ Main
1. Secret
…1) You will survive on your own.
…2) You must see the spiritual reality.
…3) God’s plan is in a place you have not thought of, on the opposite side.
…4) No competition – victory without fighting.
…5) Nobody – there is no one to help, but God is leading me.

2. Background
…1) The power of the throne is yours (Is 6)
…2) Only the power of the gospel overcomes darkness (Is 7:14).
…3) The power of the Word – those who wait only on the eternal Word will receive new strength (Is 40).
…4) The power of prayer – when you pray, He will do a new thing (Is 43).
…5) The power of restoration – He will restore the world and those fallen into darkness with light (Is 60).
…6) The watchman – He has established you as a watchman who moves the throne (Is 62).
…7) The Remnant (Is 66)

3. Do not be deceived!
…1) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego – “Even if He does not …”
…2) Daniel – the Lord’s angel shut the lions’ mouths so they could not harm him.
…3) Esther

▣ Conclusion
1. 237 – He will cause the light of glory to overflow. This light must be shone upon the nations (v. 12, 18).
2. 5000 – Shine the light on the distant islands (v 19).
3. What happens during worship, prayer, and times of crisis – God sends His angel to protect you.

Hymn
Jesus Is My Way, Truth, and Life

Jesus is my way,
And He is my truth,
Jesus is the life in me
Since I met the Lord,
Asked Him in my heart
My life’s never been the same

When I am in Him,
And He is in me
He will answer all my prayers
What I have is something
That the world can’t offer
What I have in Jesus is true peace

In this life, I live for Jesus Christ
With His covenant rooted in my heart
When the Lord gives me His power
He will use my life to share
His gospel to the world.

Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
…hallowed be thy name;
…thy kingdom come;
…thy will be done;
…on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
…as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
…but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
…the power and the glory,
…forever and ever.
Amen.

Hymn
We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, 
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.  Chorus

Watchman of Re-Creation of the Soul

Prayer Journal: May 23, 2026
21. Nov. 2025 Prenatal/Infant Parents and Ministers Retreat, Lecture 3
Theme:  Watchman of Re-Creation  』 (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Lecture 3: 【 Watchman of Re-Creation of the Soul 】

Lecture 1 was about how our parents must become watchmen.
Lecture 2 was about how teachers must become watchmen.
Today, our Lecture 3 is about how, if we want to save the world, we must become united watchmen — only then do we become watchmen who save souls.
When missionaries first came to Busan, what did they do? They established a hospital for delivering babies. Simply put, they used a prenatal-infant strategy. To put it more plainly, they used a birth mother strategy. So, at this final hour when our eyes must be opened wide, even a small thing becomes a great blessing. Therefore, the final strategy our prenatal-infant mission department must use is the pregnant-mother strategy. The birth mother has already given birth to a child, so the child becomes an infant, but in reality, we need to have a prenatal strategy. We need a pregnant-mother strategy. They say that when these missionaries arrived, there were no beds in the wards, so they went to a US military base and got old beds. That missionary was a missionary named McKenzie. He had been in Vanuatu. He fell ill there and came out. When his body had somewhat recovered, he came to Korea. So the place they arrived at was Busan. And so they established Ilsin Women’s Hospital. And they built a small church, which was our mother church, Ilsin Church. In a sense, it was just one among many churches. But the family that began their faith life there — me — I have received the blessing of doing only evangelism work up to this day. Naturally, I went to Australia to evangelize, and things like that. Even more amazing is that Missionary McKenzie had been in Vanuatu, and we became connected to that place. Despite extreme opposition, Vanuatu, as a nation, recognized our gospel. One of the many reasons for this is that the politicians of Vanuatu are almost all pastors. They know theology. These people, with their lives on the line, recognized us. It was essentially established by national law. When they come to visit, they bring some kind of medal or insignia and present it to me, don’t they? What that means is they are giving, at the national level, something their nation has been holding in reserve. Even more amazing — it is the complete stepping stone for opening the door to 5,000 tribess. In some respects, for opening the door to 5,000 tribes, it is not America but Vanuatu.

Pregnant mother (birth mother) strategy — Moses, Samuel, David, the synagogue
So we must become united watchmen who save the world. Look carefully at one word: the pregnant mother strategy was used. Moses’ mother did that. That’s right. A great work of history took place. A response came that was beyond understanding. Samuel’s mother did that. It was completely the pregnant mother’s strategy given by God. In fact, the person called David was also raised that way. And so Paul went into the synagogue — which no one could have imagined — bringing key figures with him. Now, what is the situation for infants in developed nations? From the very beginning, they have been receiving their education from three organizations. What about underdeveloped nations? The prenatal-infants of underdeveloped nations are receiving completely superstitious education. What about the prenatal-infants in Korea today? There is almost no plan at all. People simply think it is enough to give birth and raise children well. So they go to kindergarten. They go through elementary school to university. Not a single opportunity to receive training as a watchman. Not once have they heard the accurate gospel. This is the situation. And so God has given all manner of blessings to these people.

Introduction — Unity
There are things we must do and things we must first know.

1) Bartizan — global prenatal-infant mission organization
So it is naturally something our parents must do as watchmen — building the bartizan — and it is naturally something teachers must do. This final strategy must not be missed.

2) Church (journey) — global prenatal-infant mission organization (communication)
So, what work must the mission department and the church do together in unity? The real bartizan you must build — what is it? Build a prenatal-infant organization worldwide. This is the bartizan. And let every church communicate with this global prenatal-infant organization. It is possible. This is the journey.

3) Guidepost — global prenatal-infant mission organization (relay prayer group)
Then what is the guidepost that prenatal-infant ministry must pursue — the answer you must receive? Create a relay prayer group that remains continuously connected worldwide. I see this as extremely important. Wherever I go in any region, as soon as a disciple emerges, this is the first thing I build. I build it even where people do not pray. In reality, they do not know prayer. Still, I built it. Yet amazingly, responses come. So when I went to Busan, the very first thing I built was this. People were free to fast as they chose, and I formed a fasting relay group — but most people did not fast. Within three years, the preparation to turn the world upside down was fully in place. You must do this. The prenatal-infant gathering is very important, but this part is extremely important.

Main — So what is the answer you must first receive? There is an answer to receive first before doing any of this.

1. Revive prenatal-infant worship — “individual church strategy.”
Revive prenatal-infant worship. Reviving prenatal-infant worship means an individual church strategy. When you return, numbers are not the issue — you must regard prenatal-infant worship as the most precious thing.

1) prenatal-infant centered
What has been done up to now has been well done, but look even a little for prenatal-infant centered worship. Because the message mostly needs to go out, gatherings are formed accordingly. Then parents attend, and children come as well. Among them, the children — the very young prenatal-infants who do not yet know anything — those children need some small program. I have served at several churches, and whenever I moved, there was always an empty time. During that empty time, I went to the US military chapel. There is a base somewhere in Busan. I went to the church there. Since the fetus is still in the womb, they hold worship for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers very meaningfully. They hold an 11 o’clock service, and all those children gather up front. Whether they understand or not, the pastor gives a simple message. Then he prays a blessing over the children. And after that, it is the general service — the main worship. I thought that was really well done. Building on the important point from the introduction earlier, you do not need a large gathering.

2) Dad’s class
Dad’s class — this is essential.

3) Mom’s class
Mom’s class. Combining the two, one might also call it a couple’s class. That is fine. What you must keep in mind is that there is a lot of father education and mother education that has come out in the world so far. I can say clearly: I consider it good education. However, it is not necessary for education. It is not the education necessary for those children’s souls. It is not the education that will overcome darkness and accomplish world evangelization in the days ahead. So this is the very first blessing you must receive.

2. Revive prenatal-infant ministry in non-self-supporting churches — “synagogue-centered”
The second. Non-self-supporting churches — revive prenatal-infant worship.

1) Acts 17:1-9
2) Acts 18:1-4
3) Acts 19:8-20

This is as it is in the Bible, and from that the synagogue-centered approach emerged. In the synagogue it is not only older children. Of course, there are adults. But the greatest central focus of this synagogue — yes, the gospel, Christ, and all the content are there — is the children. A very important point here is that Jewish people regard prenatal-infant education as extremely important. The birth mothers, the pregnant mothers, participate. Priscilla, who understood this importance, continued to enter the synagogue together with Paul. Before going to Rome, the synagogue…

3. Multi-ethnic prenatal-infants — “new strategy.”
The third thing to remember. This is the answer you will receive. Save multi-ethnic prenatal-infants. This, as you know, uses a completely new mission strategy. Not just saving multi-ethnic people, but using a prenatal-infant strategy for multi-ethnic people. This is something that absolutely must be done.

1) Marriage mission class
Restore the marriage mission class.

2) Pregnant mother class
Restore the pregnant mother class. Even if you do not meet every week, gather regularly and give an accurate message. God’s covenant does not bring about a work of history just because many people hear it. It is when it is accurately conveyed to one person that a historical work takes place. What you have shared once — that brings about a work of history. This is prenatal-infant ministry. There are many organizations doing prenatal-infant ministry without understanding its importance. Look at the Bible. The people who moved the ages all did prenatal-infant ministry. And truly, even in Busan, the mission movement began with prenatal and infant ministry.

3) Multi-ethnic couples’ class
Having done all this, as you know, open a class for multi-ethnic couples. Right now, multi-ethnic couples are in disarray. They do not know when they might separate. There is more than one or two things that do not fit, and the most important thing is that they do not know spiritually. There is nothing to say about whether it fits or not. They simply do not know. In your mission department, in your church — even if only one person does this, a world-overturning work of history takes place. One multi-ethnic couple grasped the gospel. They turned the world upside down. Who was that? The couple, Priscilla and Aquila.

You must do this. There are truly many important things you must do. Why? Because for prenatal infants, there is no more opportunity. In a certain sense, personally, once a child is born, it is effectively over. Prenatal education is even more important. Life has already come into being, and all the prenatal education has been missed. The pregnant mother knows nothing spiritual, knows no gospel, and simply gives birth. So to put it precisely, all the problems that existed before birth come along with the child. The timetable in which this can be done perfectly is the prenatal-infant stage. The next opportunity is the toddler-preschool age. And the last remaining opportunity is elementary school. Middle school — it is over. Whether children study well or not is determined in middle school. You must take this with you. Even more important: if you are doing what God most desires, God responds centered on the place where you are. Right? That is how important the work you are doing right now is. So if you truly hold on to this covenant, God works according to where you are. From now on, dads — do not just run errands but become the main players in these three today’s sessions. Why? Because if you let go of this opportunity now and enter middle age, there is no more chance. When you have prenatal-infants, you have 300% opportunity. It is alright even if it is hard. Because I started studying a bit late, I was studying when our children were still very young, prenatal-infants. It was very difficult. But do not be deceived. I was preparing 300% for evangelism. As soon as I came out, a historical event took place. You must remember this. Take it to heart and go home with it.

Conclusion
Among all this, there will be areas that especially need attention.

1) Problem families
What do we do about truly troubled children? Very young children do not yet understand. But there are families with problems. You must engage proactively.

2) Talented families
Next, there are talented families. For example, right in front of our church in Busan is Korea Maritime University. Across the water is Pukyong National University. Many talented foreign individuals come to these two places. Mostly doctoral students and people studying at that level. These people have children, preschoolers, and newborns. These people bring those children — the parents have nowhere to go. You must catch this. And there are many problem families as well. There is no one to even understand their situation, let alone resolve it. You must quickly catch these things in your prenatal-infant department. There are talented people, too, I am telling you.

3) Throw out the garbage, change what is wrong, and hold on to the cord of covenant and prayer
So, what conclusion are you drawing today? It is the same. Throw out all the garbage. Garbage does not bring value. What does not align with the gospel is wrong. Change it. It is alright even if you are weak. It is alright even if you have made mistakes. It is alright even if you have fallen. Right? But if you are holding onto what is contrary to the gospel, you will perish. Hold on to the cord of the covenant and prayer. This is the most important thing. Hold on to the cord of the covenant and prayer. Grab hold of the cord that communicates with the throne. Make it so that the next generation may enjoy that.

So this prenatal-infant retreat is extremely important, but it is an extremely important timetable. Because those who have been dedicated to prenatal-infant ministry all along have gathered mainly here. And now this is the timetable in which those appointed today begin as a new organization. There are many who have taken on overall responsibility, but among them, in the case of Elder Kwak’s wife, as I see it, she has no other motive. A person with other motives cannot accomplish world evangelization. In the end, God makes it so they cannot. We must preach only the gospel. Engrave the accurate bartizan, journey, and guidepost into these prenatal infants who go on into eternity. So make this — not a delusion but a firm conviction. When things were very difficult for me, I said, “I am not in difficulty.” Why? Because that is not something I need. The reason is that what I truly need is something else entirely. That is right. So I am a person who has received tremendous blessings, a person who has received God’s great grace — that is right, isn’t it? Not having money — I do not need money. Does God want money from me as a student? Look squarely at the field. We must accomplish world evangelization, so look squarely at evangelism. Is that not right? Church members cannot pray, cannot evangelize, have no strength — 90% are effectively failing, and even the successful 10% cannot serve the church; they are running errands for the world — it is a state of total collapse. At least you — pull yourselves together and hold on to the cord of the covenant. Do not let go of the cord of prayer. This is it.

For you especially, beginning from next year, God’s accurate covenant will be fulfilled. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that your next generation will enter into this line of blessing. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We give praise. We give sincere thanks to God who has saved our prenatal infants. We believe You will grant to these people the most wondrous responses found in the Bible. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
