The Bartizan of the Scattered Disciples

2026.01.10 Scattered Disciples
The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237-5000(2)
– Model 48 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Acts 11:19

[To the Pastors: The 1,000 Disciples Bartizan]

How do you build this? It’s hard for a pastor to do alone. You must delegate.

1) The Remaining: Turn those who remain into those who will remain.

2) Pilgrims: Turn strangers into pilgrims.

3) Conquerors: God attaches those with strength—conquerors who break darkness.

Find the “special forces” (commando team) to establish the 1,000 bartizans. There are ministers resting because they have nowhere to go—gather them. Even if you just give them travel expenses, they can evangelize. We must find the dying souls. Don’t just sit blankly.

In the past, I walked everywhere to find people. I went to schools to save high schoolers. My legs are strong now because I walked so much.

Your business must be the same. Constantly edit, plan, and design so that others are shocked and come to ask, “How do you do this?”

4) The Sent: They weren’t just scattered; they were sent.

5) Watchman: They aren’t just doing business; they are watchmen.

6) Spy: They aren’t just merchants traveling the world; they are spies for the Kingdom.

7) Standard-Bearer: Finally, those who pave the highway and lift the standard (banner) so all nations can come.

When you go, the prepared people are there. You don’t even need to be “good” at it; for a prepared person, one word is enough. They will cry when they hear the Gospel and come to church on their own. Don’t just do “wrong love” by constantly coddling people. Love their souls and save them.

Prayer. We thank God. Grant us a new life and revival. Let the spies and special forces who save the church arise. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Bartizan of the Early Church Apostles and Church Officers

2026.01.10 Core
The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC(2)
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:14

Thank you. Hearing the Remnants praise brings so much more grace. When the Elders praise, it’s not that it’s not graceful, but I find myself feeling a bit anxious for them, hoping they do well. But with the Remnants, even if they make a mistake, it is okay. Even at this moment, your health should be recovering. That is possible for those who know prayer and breathing. Even now.

「The Early Church」

The answers received by the apostles and church officers of the Early Church are our primary standard.

▣ Introduction _ The Evangelist’s Morning Time [Recovery]

The evangelist’s morning is a time of recovery.

1. Recovery of Health (3 John 1:2)

This is a time to greatly recover your health. “As your soul prospers, may you be in good health.” You must obtain spiritual strength first. Then, answers follow. Power for life arises. You prosper in all things, right? Physical strength follows as well. I pray that you may be in good health.

2. Recovery of the Covenant (7.7.7)

The morning is for recovering the covenant. You must pray deeply for the 7 bartizans, the 7 journeys, and the 7 guideposts. I pray earnestly that I need these. Nothing else is necessary; only this is needed.

3. Recovery of the Schedule and Message

In all your schedules—because you surely have them—you recover the message within them. To put it simply, you are recovering these three things in the morning.

Absolute Bartizan, Absolute Journey, Absolute Guidepost

When you recover these, what starts to emerge? Once these are built, an absolute bartizan is formed. Then the absolute journey becomes visible, and you leave behind an absolute guidepost. This is the evangelist’s morning.

▣ Main _ The Evangelist’s Daytime – Confirmation

The evangelist’s daytime is for confirming God’s blessings. You must realize what a blessed position you are sitting in right now. We didn’t gather for something bad; we gathered to evangelize. We didn’t gather to criticize others, but for evangelism. This is the time of greatest blessing.

1. Confirming the Accurate Mission

What must you confirm? What is the accurate mission? Some people always grab the wrong mission. If someone asks me a question and I stay silent, that is not an answer. I stay silent because they said something wrong. People think silence means permission. I might nod my head, and that’s a mistake—I’m thinking, “Ah, yes… hmm… you’re saying something wrong,” but the other person thinks I’ve permitted it. Nowadays, I realize I should have shook my head (no), but that feels like rejection. People don’t like giving others despair.

Why do I say this? People grab the wrong covenant too often. It’s a pity. A person who has received such precious blessings shouldn’t always hold onto a wrong mission. Asking a pastor for an accurate mission is not a mistake or a discourtesy. Ask, “Pastor, how can I grab the accurate mission?” If we pray together, your life will open up.

2. Confirming the Power of Concentration

During the day, you find where you need to concentrate. Where will you focus? You must find that.

3. Tribulation and God’s Direction

The Early Church faced many false accusations, persecutions, and tribulations. This was God’s direction. You must confirm God’s direction. Accurate mission is the start, concentration is the actual answer, and direction is knowing where to go. This is the evangelist’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost.

[Detailing the Confirmation]

1) Acceptance, Transcendence, [Answer]: Accept everything, but transcend it and hold the answer. You don’t need to be enemies with anyone. Remnants, don’t just follow your parents—surpass them. If you live in a big country like the US, transcend it. Hold the answer.

2) Transcendence of Time and Space, Unprecedented, 237-5000: This is the absolute mission. It must align with the throne and the 5,000 tribes.

3) Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:1-8: Receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Find the turning point and enjoy the recovery of God’s Kingdom.

[The Focus of Concentration]

1) WITH, Immanuel, Oneness (System): Concentrate here.

2) Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation (OURS): Concentrate on creating these works.

3) Always WITH: Concentrate on the work of “Always.”

[God’s Direction in Tribulation]

When the church persecuted the Early Church’s Gospel:

Acts 3:1-12: Works took place right at the gate of the church that persecuted them. Peter did what the high priests and scribes couldn’t.

Acts 8: Philip went to Samaria, where no one else would go.

Acts 12: When Peter was imprisoned, the church officers prayed. God took King Herod away. God can take away those who block the Gospel.

Acts 13: The first missionaries were sent. When they tried to kill Paul, he turned his direction toward the mission field.

▣ Conclusion [The Evangelist’s Night: 300% Work]

The night is for making the work—a 300% work. How?

  1. Limited Concentration

  2. Selected Concentration

  3. Oneness Concentration

The Bartizan Isaac Raised

2026.01.10 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Life of the Evangelist and the Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC(2)
– Model 48 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3

Young adults (Remnants) must remember this. This is the bartizan established by Isaac.

▣ Introduction _ David

We need to look at David a bit more. Among all Remnants, David is the greatest model of prayer.

  1. Psalms 5:3: In the morning.

  2. Psalms 23:1-6: During the day, during weekdays.

  3. Psalms 17:3: At night.

  4. Psalms 78:70-72 (Shepherd): In the field, at school. While David was a shepherd, he prepared everything. If you read carefully, the vessel to become king was prepared at this time. He wrote many psalms and writings then. Praise and many other works were all done during this period. In particular, the skill to defeat Goliath was developed then. He played many important roles.

  5. Song of Solomon 4:1-5, 1 Chronicles 29:10-14: In Song of Solomon 4, Solomon praises, and the 1,000 bartizans regarding his father David appear. In 1 Chronicles 29:10-14, he prepared a global bartizan. The global bartizan refers to the preparation of the Temple where the whole world could come. He established a bartizan in one place that firmly built the nation. This is David. Remnants must remember this. Pastors, establish 1,000 bartizans and 1,000 disciples during your remaining life. How can you establish them? Just think about that. I’m not saying don’t do other things, but other things are for relaxation. Our bodies have the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. We live while these two are in harmony. That is how the nerves function. In my case, when I constantly prepare messages and pray, only the sympathetic nerves are active. Then, the parasympathetic nerves, which allow for comfortable letting go, must be activated. That is why I go fishing or go to the sea. That is why I have meal times. Sometimes I go with others, and sometimes I go alone. When I have a meal alone, I focus intensely. I practically have to write a whole book. Much is accomplished during meal times. Also, in the morning. Since I think a lot about meetings in the morning, it’s a bit hard to do “homework.” Remnants must have this time.

Absolute Bartizan

Then, this becomes the absolute bartizan.

▣ Main _ Isaac

Today, we need to look at the absolute bartizan created by Isaac.

  1. Genesis 12:1-3

  2. Genesis 22:1-24

  3. Genesis 26:10-24

1. Genesis 12:1-3 [What belonged to the parents]

This belonged to the parents. Remnants must know what the parents gave them. And they must know what the parents missed. Even if your parents are lacking, they gave birth to you, so there are good things to take and things that need to be changed.

(1) Blessing: He received an immense blessing here.

(2) Failure: Great failure came from here. You must know both. Isaac likely knew them well.

2. Genesis 22:1-24 [What belongs to God]

Everything belongs to God, but this refers to what only God can do. This is the Mt. Moriah incident mentioned earlier.

(1) Death: He encountered death here.

(2) The Ram: A ram is prepared. In this way, Isaac and Abraham came to enjoy the sure Gospel. Why do humans die?

[Destruction]: Why do humans face destruction? It is only natural because of Original Sin. Why do humans suffer such unfair things? It is natural.

[Christ]: That is why God promised Christ. Many people live without this. They live diligently and then die. Their spiritual state is nothing. They have zero spiritual power and no spiritual knowledge. Thus, they are seized by spiritual problems. They enter into eternal spiritual problems. No matter how well you studied, when you go, Satan drags you away. You live for a moment and then go there for eternity. For a mayfly, a whole lifetime is 24 hours. In God’s sight, we are like mayflies. To Satan, we are like mayflies. He drags us away. Because destruction is inevitable, Christ was promised. Look at someone when they die. It’s better to be silent at death, but it’s the same—the devil comes to drag them away. How terrifying must that be? You live for a moment and then go to an eternal place, dragged away for eternity.

3. Genesis 26:10-24 [What is mine]

All things belong to God, but this part is called “mine.” It is what God gave to Isaac. What did he do here?

(1) Restoration of Wells: He restored all the wells his father had dug. Enemies had come and blocked them, but he restored them all. At that time in the Middle East, wells were property.

(2) Source of the Spring: However, he found the source of the spring here. You must do things like this. He found the source of the spring.

(3) Rehoboth: He received the blessing of Rehoboth. These are the blessings our Remnants must receive.

Absolute Journey

This is called the absolute journey.

▣ Conclusion [Absolute Guidepost]

Finally, Remnants must create the absolute bartizan. You must create the absolute guidepost. This is all included in our New Year’s benediction message.

  1. 100-Year Answer: He farmed for one year and received a 100-year answer. This is enough to do world missions.

  2. 300% Fulfillment: Simply put, he achieved 300% fulfillment. It means he didn’t just survive; he saved others and did enough to conduct world missions.

  3. Victory: He won without even fighting. People were constantly jealous, but he triumphed regardless. This is called the absolute guidepost. Still, there may be some who are going through difficulties. When things are hard, how do people become? They become a bit strange. For someone desperate for money, everything looks different. You must keep your senses sharp at such times. You might think, “I need to get help,” but don’t do that. At those times, go to the very bottom. One Elder’s company went bankrupt during the IMF crisis. This Elder was amazing. He told no one and just went to work anywhere that would give him a job for the day. Of course, the pay was low. But he went. His company had failed, but he went anyway. The person who hired him was shocked. He worked so well. Eventually, he was introduced to someone else. That person asked for his number and called him immediately. His income doubled. That person saw that this man had something special. They talked, and the Elder said, “I am an Elder at such-and-such place, but my company failed.” The person then asked, “Can you work at our company?” It was a very sturdy company, and he was placed in a very good position because he was trusted. People who do truly great work look for people like that. Since the world is full of strange people, they look for such individuals. So, go to the bottom. For children whose studies aren’t going well, go to the bottom. If you try to skim through, you will miss it. If it’s not working, you should go back to 7th-grade material; holding a high school book is useless. You have to ride that foundation and come up quickly. Life is the same. The difference for us is the fact that God’s grace remains. The fact that the blessing of world evangelization remains. You must remember this. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Please grant our Remnants the blessing of being prepared 300%. Bless them enough to save their families and save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Bartizan the Forefather of Faith Abraham Built

2026.01.10 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (2)
– Bartizan 48 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 13:1-18

This is the bartizan created by Abraham, the forefather of faith. Since he is the forefather of faith and the first person, we must look at him in detail. The fact is, although I do not usually speak of it, many questions, suggestions, and reports come to me. Personal stories and requests may come as well. Although I do not say it out loud, they are almost all wrong. They say so many wrong things that I wonder if they can even receive answers. Some things are bound to result in a loss later, and there are such things. Also, regarding other matters, they say “okay,” but many of those stories are not biblical. I often think it will be quite difficult for them. There are many large organizations in Korea. Those organizations contact me frequently asking for money. At those times, I feel that those people must handle their organization’s money however they please. For 30 years in our organization, I have never even looked at the money. I have no interest in it. It will be very difficult for such people to receive answers to prayer. No matter how much I possess the Word, it will not work because I am wrong. I am not talking about making a mistake. Anyone can make a mistake. I am not talking about doing something wrong. I am talking about the essence one possesses. Even looking at how problems are solved, there were workers in our church who caused big problems in the past. First, the individual repented and we forgave them. They were guided well and went out. Yet, whenever a problem arises, they return to the law. Therefore, they cannot receive answers. Right. Our business people and church leaders must know this well.

▣ Introduction _ Psalms 108:2 [Morning]

In Psalms 108:2, it says, “Awake… I myself will awake the early dawn.” This is the morning for our church leaders and business people.

1. The 7 bartizans of prayer

First, create the 7 bartizans through prayer. You just need to create them through prayer.

2. The 7 journeys of prayer

You just need to continue going on the 7 journeys of prayer.

3. The 7 guideposts of prayer

You are to continually create the 7 guideposts through prayer.

1. The 7 bartizans of prayer (The flow of answers)

If you continue in prayer, you will see the flow of answers.

2. The 7 journeys of prayer (The flow of the Word)

Next, as you continue on the journey of prayer, you will see the flow of the Word.

3. The 7 guideposts of prayer (The flow of evangelism)

As you continually pray for the guideposts, you will see the flow of evangelism. If you pray continually. People ask if this shouldn’t be done during the day, but it is mainly for the morning.

1. The 7 bartizans of prayer (The flow of answers) – The absolute bartizan

Then, as you continue, what emerges is that because you are continually heading toward the bartizan, one day the absolute bartizan is created piece by piece. As you keep making bartizans, the absolute bartizan is eventually created; it cannot be made suddenly.

2. The 7 journeys of prayer (The flow of the Word) – The absolute journey

As you continue on this journey, you will see the people of the 7 points that God has prepared. Then, you will go on the absolute journey.

3. The 7 guideposts of prayer (The flow of evangelism) – The absolute guidepost

If you keep doing this, a work will emerge. Since the work emerges, three types of works will come out. This is the absolute guidepost. You must receive answers this way.

Then what is your daytime?

▣ Main _ Daytime (Time of Blessing) (Psalms 23:1)

This time is a very blessed time. The daytime is for confirming many answers. According to David’s words, it becomes Psalms 23:1. Because Jehovah is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Even if I meet danger, it is okay. Even if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, it is okay.

1. Genesis 12:1-9 – Unbelief

In Genesis 12:1-9, Abraham receives a command along with an immense blessing. In reality, Abraham was in unbelief. At this time, he was already told to leave his country, his kindred, and his father’s house. But in Abraham’s heart, he thought that since he had no son, he needed someone to succeed him. Therefore, he took his nephew Lot. From a human perspective, there is no problem. It was a good thing to take his nephew. But from God’s perspective, he could not believe the words: “I will give you a child,” and “your descendants will do world evangelization.” So where did he eventually go? He went toward Egypt. He kept going in a strange direction. Here, he almost faced death twice. he barely returned alive.

2. 13:1-18 – [Altar]

Here, Abraham finally comes to a realization. Ah, this is not it. He came to have many possessions and a place to live, but a problem arose between him and his nephew Lot. He tried to look after him like a son, but that person became a total enemy. For most people, it is almost always because of money. For some people, because of money, even family members become enemies; they are peculiar families. They become enemies because of family, and enemies even between parent and child; they could just give it, but they fight over it. Abraham realized this. He did not just send his nephew Lot away. He said, “You choose first. You choose first, and I will take what remains.” Naturally, the nephew chose the expensive land of the city. Abraham chose the mountains. Mountains originally do not make money. The land Lot chose was precisely Sodom and Gomorrah. After that, Abraham receives the Word of God. It is tomorrow’s sermon. “Lift up now thine eyes, and look… northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward… Walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee eternity.” At that time, Abraham began to build an altar. Once this happens, it is over. Your life must become like this. You must cast away unbelief and build an altar.

3. 15:1-10 Shield, exceeding great reward

At this time, in Genesis 15:1-10, God speaks like this. He said, “Abraham.” “I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Is that enough? God is the shield and the reward.

4. 17-18 [Angel]

Then in chapters 17 and 18, He promises again. He promises to give descendants. At that time, guests came from afar, and he entertained the guests. Those guests were angels sent by Jehovah. Of course, people came. While he was entertaining them well, He gave the covenant. In this way, God works behind us. Thus, a son was born. That son who was born is Isaac.

5. 22:1-23 [Test] [Ram]

In the end, we see an important event take place. What does it say in the Bible? It says that God did this to test Abraham. There are two kinds of tests. There is the test given by the devil, and there is the test given by God. The test given by the devil is to make you perish. The test given by God is to bless you. The word for this test is “test.” God said something unimaginable. He said to go to Mt Olive—no, to Moriah—and sacrifice Isaac. Abraham had more than ten excuses he could make. He probably had many excuses. More importantly, while taking the child, Isaac asks. “Father, every year when we go to the mountain, we take a sheep, but why is there no sheep this time?” At that time, he could have said just one thing. He could have said, “God’s taste has changed and He told me to offer you,” then the boy would have run for his life and thought his father had gone crazy. He says the very accurate answer. “Jehovah will provide.” It happened exactly as said. When he was truly about to sacrifice his son, He called Abraham. At that time, a ram was prepared. Young Isaac will absolutely never be able to forget that ram. Right? The Gospel becomes imprinted like this. This now promises an immense blessing. What is one of them? “Your descendants will save the nations.” In this way, our daytime is a time to confirm God’s blessings.

▣ Conclusion

[Night] [Psalms 23:6, 17:3]

The conclusion is our night time. In Psalms 23:6, David said this: “No matter how rough the road I travel, or if I walk the path of death, I am not afraid. I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for eternity.” Also in Psalms 17:3, it says that Jehovah hears my prayer at night and examines me.

1. Descendants

He promised the blessing of descendants to Abraham.

2. Gate

He shall possess the gate of his enemies.

3. World evangelization

And all nations shall be blessed because of you. Such a great blessing is promised.

If you want to enjoy this blessing, you just need to be within this (Introduction). You just need to be within the bartizan, journey, and guidepost given by Christ. As long as you don’t keep doing the wrong things, the answers are bound to come. Looking at ordinary believers, they do the wrong things 24 hours a day. That won’t do. If you do the wrong things 24 hours, you won’t recognize the answers even if they have come. You just need to do this (Introduction) 24 hours.

If an elderly person, for example, does some kind of multi-level marketing company, I don’t think it’s bad. But I want to tell young adults not to do it. You must prepare for the future. So, if you keep doing only the things that don’t work and only the wrong things, nothing will work. A distant relative asked me what I thought about them working at an insurance company. There’s nothing bad about it. “If you can manage without visiting relatives or church members, then do it. But you will surely visit relatives and you will surely visit church members. Then those people must stay around you for eternity, but they will disappear. If you are confident you won’t do that, then do it.” He was a person who kept doing only the things that don’t work. You should do what works. If you do what doesn’t work, it’s better not to do it at all. Looking at history or the Bible, the most things are prepared when nothing is happening. To give one example, when Moses was trapped in Midian for 40 years, God prepared the very best things. Many scholars say that Genesis was recorded at that time. I think so too.

Our business people and church leaders, you must necessarily receive the answers. It is not difficult. Remember what was said in the introduction and do this. You see, I have seen a person who did only the wrong things his whole life. That is not easy. You must do this (Introduction). Everything will emerge.

Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the solver of all problems, the infinite love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit be upon all business people and church leaders in the nation and the world, and upon their work, from now until eternity. Amen.

300% and the 3 Preparations

Prayer Journal: January 9, 2026
05. Apr. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8

You must conduct forums with the young adults during the three-day weekend age.

Also, what is the greatest worry for young adults? It is likely their studies, right? You do not need to worry. What is success? Suppose someone graduated from Seoul National University. Then they got a job at a tycoon company. They met a good spouse and got married. They raise smart children. That is good, right? However, you cannot do world evangelization with that. What kind of success is that? You can absolutely never do world evangelization. You must be able to do world evangelization. Right? “Ah, I will eat well and live well.” What kind of success is that? Young adults must have correct thoughts from the beginning.

300% – Three Preparations

You must prepare this.

▣ Introduction

First, if you are to do that, you must look at the introduction.

1. Gospel recovery 300%

Do Gospel recovery 300%. What is 300%? The answer regarding myself, the answer regarding the field, and the answer regarding the future. You must obtain the answers first.

2. Prayer recovery 300%

Do prayer recovery 300%. How do you do 300%?

Bartizan, journey, guidepost

It is the 7 bartizans of the throne, the journey, and the guidepost. This is 300%. You just need to be praying for this.

3. Future 300%

Prepare the future 300%. Only by doing this can you do world evangelization.

1) Only

Your talent will emerge. Only. No one can take “Only” away.

2) Uniqueness

Other people will come to find you. Uniqueness.

3) Re-creation

Now you save the world. Re-creation.

I am saying this belongs to the young adults. You must remember this. Usually, people who work at a job succeed, and if they go to a good workplace, they receive about ten million won. Right? However, you cannot do world evangelization with that. You can educate your children and have a little leeway. After all, it is a bit more than other people. It only amounts to that much. You can absolutely never do world evangelization.

Prepare.

▣ Main

To what extent must you do it?

1. 237

You must do this (Introduction) to align with 237. I am not joking. You must do this to align with 237.

2. 5,000 tribes

You must do this to align with the 5,000 tribes.

3. Main figure

Only by doing this can you create, save, and act as the main figure of world evangelization.

1. 237

What happens if you receive this (Introduction) blessing?

1) Matthew 28:16-20

He said, “I have all authority in heaven and on earth, and I will be with you.” He said to do just one thing. “Make disciples of all nations.”

2) Mark 16:15-20

“Cast out demons in my name. You will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. Go to all people. I will be with you from the throne.” He clearly promised this.

3) Acts 1:8

You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.

2. 5,000 tribes

Now, young adults, do not worry. You must do this (Introduction). You must align with the 5,000 tribes.

Because they cannot align with this:

1) Slaves

He sends them as slaves.

2) Captives

He sends them as captives.

3) Dependency

He sends them to a dependency.

4) Vagabonds

They become vagabonds.

In the midst of this, the young adults who possessed this (Introduction) answer changed the world again. Because they did not know this (Introduction), it became like this (Main Body 2), but the young adults who have this (Introduction) answer change the world from here (Main Body 2). Do you understand? You must not be deceived. Once your talent clearly emerges, turn it into “Only.” This is 300%. Other people cannot take it away. Uniqueness. You come to know what other people do not know. Re-creation. I am saying Joseph knew what his older brothers did not know. Right? And he knew what the king did not know and told him. If you do prayer recovery 300% like this, it becomes like this.

3. Main figure

1) TCK

Finally, what is it? You become the main figures who save TCKs. Only then does world evangelization take place.

2) CCK

Those CCKs in the Muslim and Communist lands.

3) NCK

Those collapsed NCKs among the 5,000 tribes who live on ten thousand won a month.

Well, world evangelization is actually not a difficult thing. In these 5,000 tribes, you can raise 10 missionaries with one hundred thousand won. Because we try to send Koreans, it costs a lot of money. If you call the people who are there, it is simple. Ten thousand won is enough. And only when you change these people can world missions go well. Therefore, at our WRC, we intend to open the doors to the 5,000 tribes and call in the talented individuals. It absolutely does not cost a huge amount of money.

▣ Conclusion

1. Goal

You must align with God’s goal. No matter how excellent you are, if you do not align with God’s goal, it is wrong.

2. Direction

Young adults must remember. Your direction must align with God.

3. Conclusion

And there is a characteristic of the 7 Remnants. What was it? They knew the conclusion. Therefore, there was no need to be shaken. They knew the conclusion. Since world evangelization will take place through you, you must know the conclusion. In any case, no one can block the Gospel that will arise through your descendants.

Today, I bless the young adults across the nation and the world in the name of Jesus Christ, that this may be a day of blessing to grasp God’s covenant. You do not have to worry about anything. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we give you thanks. May our young adults not be deceived and become people of the covenant. May they not be shaken no matter what happens and become people of God. May they become the main figures who save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Discerning What is Best

Philippians 1:9-11. And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

The Lord Himself taught us how to pray:

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9–10).

Prayer begins not with our needs, but with God’s will. Scripture gives us this assurance:

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him” (1 John 5:14–15).

But how do we discern God’s will amid real problems, pressure, and confusion? How do we distinguish between what merely feels urgent and what is truly important?

First, see problems through the lens of the gospel. Problems arise for many reasons—our own failures, the sins of others, or circumstances beyond anyone’s control. But regardless of the cause, one truth remains unshaken: God’s will is not threatened by our problems.

Our Father is sovereign and good. He works in all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Even our mistakes cannot cancel His purpose. Often, God uses our failures to teach us a deeper dependence on Him.

Instead of being trapped by the problem itself, allow it to become a springboard that moves you forward in faith. Refuse to live in excuses or blame. Do not allow Satan to weaponize your circumstances against you. In time, you will discover that God turns what the enemy intended for harm into a blessing.

In all circumstances, discern what is best, not merely what is possible. David faced relentless danger throughout his life. King Saul hunted him for years out of jealousy. When David had a clear opportunity to kill Saul, his companion urged him to act. But David refused:

“Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?” (1 Samuel 26:9).

David saw beyond personal relief or human logic. He respected God’s sovereignty. Even after Saul’s death, David mourned, fasted, and wept for him (2 Samuel 1:11–12). This spiritual discernment—choosing what honored God over what benefited himself—is why Scripture calls David “a man after God’s own heart” (Acts 13:22).

Joseph showed the same gospel-centered discernment. He could have retaliated against his brothers who betrayed him, but instead he recognized God’s redemptive purpose:

“Do not be distressed… because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you” (Genesis 45:5).

Joseph chose forgiveness because he saw God’s will unfolding beyond personal pain.

Always ask what advances the gospel. The apostle Paul viewed life entirely through the lens of the gospel. Prison did not discourage him—it became a platform:

“What has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel” (Philippians 1:12).

His chains strengthened the faith of other believers and enabled him to boldly testify to Christ (Philippians 1:13–14). Before reacting to circumstances, Paul discerned what would most clearly advance the gospel.

This is the heart of his prayer in that believers would grow in love, knowledge, and depth of insight, so they could discern what is best and live pure, fruitful lives for the glory of God (Philippians 1:9–11).

Paul understood human brokenness and was not afraid of people or persecution (2 Corinthians 11:26). He encouraged believers to adopt the mindset of Christ—humility, obedience, and surrender—knowing that God exalted the name of Christ above all names (Philippians 2:5–11).

Remember that Christ defines what truly matters. Paul’s values were radically transformed by the gospel:

“Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ… I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ” (Philippians 3:7–8).

Achievements, success, reputation—none of these compared to knowing Christ and proclaiming Him. When the world feels overwhelming, it is often because our vision has shifted away from Christ. When we chase worldly standards, spiritual discernment fades.

But when Christ becomes central, peace follows. Paul learned contentment in every circumstance:

“I have learned the secret of being content… I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:12–13).

Problems are not interruptions to God’s plan—they are often invitations to deeper prayer, clearer vision, and fuller dependence on the Holy Spirit. They refine our priorities and sharpen our discernment.

May God fill you with spiritual wisdom and understanding. May He help you see your circumstances through the lens of the gospel. And may you discern but what is best for His kingdom and His glory.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see my circumstances through the lens of the gospel. Fill me with love, wisdom, and spiritual insight so that I may discern what is best and live a life that bears fruit for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Lamps That Keep Burning

Prayer Journal: January 8, 2026
30. Mar. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 27:9-19

It is about how great a blessing missions is: 「The Unceasing Lamp – Light」

Right now, you are emitting the unceasing lamp as light.

This is missions. When I was about five years old, there was a pier in front of our house. So, boats would dock there. Since large ships docked, it was deep. Therefore, my mother imprinted it in me every day: not to go to the seaside. She said if I fell in, I would die. Because it was so deep, I wouldn’t be able to get out. She said I would go under the ship and stick to the bottom, so other people wouldn’t know. This was imprinted in me when I was young. What is imprinted in childhood is scary. What is imprinted in childhood is everything. So, no matter how hard I try, I cannot swim. Therefore, if I fall into water, I basically have to walk out. No matter how much I tried, it didn’t work. While living there, when I was five, a fire broke out in our entire village. A fire broke out, and the scene of wandering was beyond imagination. Even though I was young then, I felt, ‘Ah, this is how one dies.’ I survived from that. Another time, when I was about a second or third grader in elementary school, I fell into the water. No, there was a large pond in the mountains, and I fell in there. No one was around. At that time, as I smelled the water, I felt, ‘Ah, this is how one dies.’ But that feeling is quite significant. You know that feeling that you are dying. That feeling is significant. But someone rescued me, even though it wasn’t a place where people pass by. So, when you experience these things, many feelings are different. It was when I was a first-year graduate student; I was sitting and studying American culture at the American Cultural Center, and a fire broke out downstairs. From the entrance of the door, fire was set by spraying oil, so it burned and came up. So I had to get out quickly and flee. I had to escape, but all the doors were locked. The doors of this Cultural Center were so sturdy that they wouldn’t even break. So, shouldn’t I escape in an instant without even knowing? As I was going, I opened a door, and it opened. So I came out to the stairs outside. Things like this are temporary. In fact. However, if you fall into eternal darkness, difficulties come for generations. He rescued us from this. It is amazing.

[ The Wilderness ]

Going the way of the wilderness now means you don’t know when difficulties will strike.

[ Danger, Enemy Forces, Despair ]

And also, you don’t know when an enemy might invade. There are enemy forces too. On this wilderness road, there are actually situations where immense despair comes. At times like this, how are we? When I was in a state of great despair, people could not help me. The family is anxious, but even the family cannot help. When you have truly fallen into a state where you can do nothing in the midst of despair, no one can help you. At that time, I came to know what true prayer is. So, I realized then what it truly means to pray before God. When I see the works of God restoring things in the midst of that despair, we can know the blessing: ‘Ah, this is truly prayer.’

▣ Introduction

Today is the 237 missions worship service, and you may not know how important it is. Here.

1. John 1:11-12

First, in John chapters 1 verse 11 and 12, it said, “Christ came as the light.” A very important word appeared.

At the time of acceptance

It said, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” When we accept, the light shines.

2. Matthew 5:13-16

Also, it is not just anything. In Matthew chapter 5 verses 13 to 16, it does not say, “Become the light.” It said, “You are the light.” Works take place when you believe in your status. You must believe. After saving you, He said, “You are the light.”

3. 1 Peter 2:9

It is not just to that extent. In 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 9, it says, “He called you to manifest this light.” Works take place when you deliver it and when you pray. Therefore, the fact is that we can heal the darkness with this light.

▣ Main

What kind of light is it exactly? What light does the Bible reveal today?

1. Light toward 237

It is the light toward 237. Therefore, without this power of the 237 light, missions cannot be done. What kind of light is it that makes it so?

1) Genesis 1:3

In Genesis chapter 1 verse 3, it is the light of creation.

2) Isaiah 60:1-2

In Isaiah chapter 60 verses 1 and 2, it is not just light but it said, “It is the light of glory.” So, “Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon you.”

3) Song of Solomon 4:1-5

In Song of Solomon chapter 4 verses 1 to 5. David set up 1,000 bartizans and emitted the light.

4) Ezekiel 37:1-11

Ezekiel chapter 37 verses 1 to 11. When this Word and the breath were breathed in, the bones came to life and became an army. The spiritual meaning is great. It means that God raised us up as an army, we who were in complete despair.

5) John 1:1-14

In John chapter 1 verses 1 to 14, the Word is God. Christ is God. Christ is the light. Those who receive Him get the authority to become children of God. At the same time, it said, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Accomplishing such an immense work is missions and the light of 237.

2. The light of salvation

After that, what is it? Since other people must be saved, the light of salvation shines again.

1) Inside – 24 Lamp

So there was light inside the Tabernacle. There was light inside the Tabernacle, and as for how it was done, He said to keep the lamps burning 24 hours.

2) Outside – Night

And there was also fire outside the Tabernacle. Regarding the outside of the Tabernacle, it was prophesied, “Light the fire at night. Inside, light it during the day as well.”

3) Three courtyards

While doing so, He spoke of the three courtyards again; the courtyards are appearing now. The first service speaks of the courtyards. Having seen the courtyards, He now speaks of the light. A person walking on a dark path sees this light and comes to life. People who haven’t experienced it won’t know. For people who have seen the light after being in too much darkness, it is different. Even if you tell those people not to evangelize, they go and do it. And they go to the mission fields risking their lives. Because they knew what darkness was. And they are so thankful. It is that He ended it for eternity.

3. The light of healing

What kind of light is this? It is the light of healing.

1) Culture of darkness

It is the light that heals the culture of darkness. How scary is this culture of darkness? It is spread across powerful nations. In underdeveloped countries, because they are completely fallen into darkness, this is the covenant to shine the light there.

2) Healing diseases of darkness (Nephilim)

It is not only culture. In this darkness, diseases surely occur. It heals the diseases of darkness. Especially mental illnesses, and the scariest is the Nephilim. For people who are suffering spiritually, it cannot be done without this light. You are enjoying this blessing.

3) Healing the economy of darkness (Offering)

Also, it is not something else but healing the economy of darkness. This is your offering. Offerings are the economy of light that heals the economy of darkness. So you must really pray; when I see you offering, it seems like you don’t pray much. You must really pray. Right? If you don’t have the economy, you cannot overcome the economy of darkness. Isn’t it so? Only when there is an economy of light can you overcome the economy of darkness. So, when you say it is a missions offering with real meaning, you must do it while praying. Therefore, missions is knowing this covenant and emitting light to the whole world.

This Gospel entered Rome. Scattered Remnants entered, and to what extent did this Gospel emit light? It began to spread to the whole of Rome. It is completely unimaginable. Because this Gospel entered and broke the darkness of Rome, it came to spread to the whole of Europe. This is missions. This is the missions offering you give. People don’t really know what is important realistically. It is important.

Some missionary was captured and killed as soon as he entered our country. That ship was in North Korea. I saw it, but they killed the missionary. But surprisingly, they didn’t just kill him, they executed him. At that time, when they performed an execution, a person with a sword would dance a sword dance and then strike the neck. So, if you look at church history, he struck that missionary’s neck with a sword, and since he struck it, he would die. The son of the man who struck that neck became a baptized member. Someone else came to our country and was doing missions but couldn’t continue and died of a disease. An ordinary person would have given up, but these people went back to their country, prepared again, and the wife came in place of the husband to do missions. The important thing is that there is a church that sent those people. Those people gathered and, like you now, gave missions offerings, worshiped, and gave offerings. They sent them here with that. Our Korea was completely turned around. Therefore, missions is a lamp that emits unceasing light and a life-saving light.

▣ Conclusion

So, from now on, you must pray for one week.

1. The Start – The Gospel

What is our start? What is our start? It is the Gospel.

2. The Result – Evangelism

What is our result? It is set. it is world evangelization.

Our start is the Gospel, and our conclusion is evangelism.

3. Today – The Process

Then what is our today? It is a process. It is neither the end nor the start; it is a process. It is not about whether it’s an answer or not; it’s a process. Even if an answer comes to you or a difficulty comes, it is the process of going to do world evangelization.

〔 Power Prayer 〕

So, there is no need to even mention Sunday, but during the week, you must start prayer that enjoys immense power. There is nothing but this. Jesus said, “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power.” To what extent? He said He would give power to the extent of, “You will be my witnesses unto the ends of the earth.” Therefore, on Sunday, you must do that prayer deeply. And during the week, you enjoy it while holding onto that covenant. Now.

So I always tell the Remnants: once you pass the age of 25, your brain stops. Therefore, you must revive this (the brain). For our elders, senior deaconesses, and all elderly people, right now your brains are unconditionally being destroyed. You must revive them. And your lungs are shrinking. No matter what anyone says, they are shrinking. So as the lungs shrink, all your immunity is dropping. And because you are just staying still, because you are not moving this, because you are not moving the diaphragm, the five viscera and six entrails are almost suffering. And as you get older, you don’t know when dementia might come. Therefore, on Sunday, you hold onto the deep covenant and pray a life-saving prayer while breathing slowly. Then, around Sunday passes, and from Monday, answers begin to come. You do the prayer of enjoyment. If you have enjoyed the message well during the week, you will clearly see answers. You see the answers of the Word being fulfilled. Therefore, like Moses and like Paul, you must become stronger as the days go by. Remnants must have strength as the days go by. That is prayer. It is prayer that emits light to the world. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing continues for one week. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. May power begin from today. May we see the fulfillment of the Word during the week. May we experience the power of God during the week. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Power of Earnest Prayer

Acts 12:5-10. So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.

8 Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

In Today’s Word, we find the early church in Jerusalem under severe persecution by King Herod, who, fueled by political ambition and a desire for popularity, began to stretch out his hand to harm those who belonged to the church. He ordered James, the brother of John, to be executed by the sword. When he saw that this pleased the religious establishment of the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well, intending to bring him out for public execution after the Passover (Acts 12:1-3).

However, when the church earnestly prayed to God for Peter (Acts 12:5), the power of the throne of the Triune God appeared in the prison (Acts 12:7). Our Father in heaven takes great delight when His children earnestly seek His face. When we believe that nothing is too hard for Him, He is deeply pleased. When we place our absolute trust in His sovereignty amidst the crises of life, He accomplishes exactly what He desires and achieves His eternal purposes (Isaiah 55:9-11).

King Herod was under the delusion that he could dismantle the church by striking down its leaders. He believed he could stifle the gospel movement before it spread like wildfire. But Herod was merely a prideful politician, blinded by the fleeting praise of man and void of the fear of God. He did not realize that his very breath was in the hands of the Creator—the same God who had orchestrated the work of salvation for all nations since ages past.

God’s response to the earnest cries of His people was swift and supernatural. He dispatched an angel into the heart of the prison. Chains fell off, iron gates swung open of their own accord, and Peter walked out into the night a free man. Through this, God confirmed His living presence among His people.

Conversely, the pride of Herod met its end; when he accepted worship as a god, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died (Acts 12:21-23). While the tyrant fell, the Scripture records the true victor: “But the word of God continued to spread and flourish” (Acts 12:24). This reminds us that miracles are not just for display; they serve the ultimate “word movement” in the lives of God’s chosen people.

Therefore, do not be afraid of the world! Nothing can stop the power of the Word of God. No earthly power can dismiss what God has planned to do. To pray earnestly is to be single-minded and whole-hearted, standing on the conviction that God—and God alone—holds the key to your circumstances. For those who truly seek Him, prayer is never just “one of the options”; it is the only option.

Consider the example of King Hezekiah. When faced with the overwhelming might of 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, he abandoned all human schemes and turned to God, holding onto the covenant. He prayed, “Now, therefore, O Lord our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God, You alone” (2 Kings 19:19). He placed the very fate of his nation in the name of God, and God answered by sending a single angel to strike the enemy camp.

Later, when faced with a terminal illness, Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly before the Lord (2 Kings 20:2-3). God saw his tears and heard his cry, adding fifteen years to his life and promising to defend the city. What seemed like a death sentence became an opportunity to experience the miraculous power of God.

We see this same earnestness in Jonah. From the belly of the great fish, in the depths of distress, he cried out: “As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple” (Jonah 2:7). God heard him and reinstated him to his mission. Scripture also reminds us that Elijah, a human being just like us, prayed earnestly for the rain to stop and then to start again, and God moved the heavens in response (James 5:16-18).

In Christ, you have been made the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). This means your earnest prayer is powerful and effective (James 5:16). You are a precious child of God, and He cares for the smallest details of your life. Do not fix your eyes on your present situation. Instead, seek your Father with the thirst of David, who cried out in a dry and parched land, “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you” (Psalm 63:1). When you stand before the Word and plead for His grace and mercy, holding onto His covenant, you will see the gates open and the Word of God flourish in your life.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for the privilege of prayer—the bridge that allows me to approach Your throne anytime and anywhere. I now earnestly seek You; body and soul, I thirst for Your presence. You are my God, and You alone hold the key to all my circumstances. I trust that Your Word will spread and flourish in my life today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
