The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (29)
Scripture Reading: Ro 16:21-22
On Monday, I will give a special message to our interpreters and translators. Today, especially, church members across the nation and around the world must pray for the interpreters and translators, and you must also confirm the prayer you need to do.
「The disciple of only, uniqueness, and recreation」
You are this kind of disciple—the disciple of only, uniqueness, and recreation. Some may think they are not, but clearly this is prepared.
In the Bible, there are many people who received great answers without doing anything. They didn’t do anything. And it wasn’t a small answer, but a great answer. Some people do a lot of work and fall into trials, but these people did nothing.
Let me give just two examples. In the Old Testament, there is Rahab the prostitute. She did nothing. She just hid the spies who came. Of course, that is not a small thing. And she lied. She said they weren’t there when they were. The blessing Rahab received was tremendous. She truly received the answer that changed the world.
Another one is Theophilus. He did nothing. Luke the physician recorded the Bible and sent it to Theophilus. Theophilus was the one who received it. But the blessing that followed was enormous. Why is that?
▣ Introduction
[Plan (will)]
They are the ones inside God’s plan. No matter what anyone says, it will happen according to God’s will, so they are inside God’s plan. You must remember this.
[Direction]
They are people whose direction is aligned with God. They don’t do much, but their direction is right.
[Way]
And they are standing in the way that God desires.
[Goal]
And they have the same goal.
These people have no choice but to be greatly used. That is why our interpreters and translators must confirm this well. This is an incredible thing. We must check this once in a while.
[A church that only proclaims the gospel]
It is the church that God uses. Never be deceived. The church that only proclaims the gospel—God uses it. Everything else is just an excuse. It may sound right, but it’s an excuse. “But there are various other matters, aren’t there?” Yes, that’s true. But that is being deceived. Look at church history. Look at the Bible. If it is a church that only proclaims the gospel, you can surely win.
[Acts 9:15]
Another important thing is that if the pastor here is truly the one to be used for world evangelization, it is finished. You cannot get rid of Paul. If it is true.
[Acts 17:1, Acts 18:4, Acts 19:8]
Even more important is the third point. If you are the person who raises remnants, then world change will happen. You must always ask this question. It is not about whether our church is big or small. If it is a church that proclaims the gospel, no one can block it.
[Spokesperson]
So, on Monday, I will explain with two points.
What are the teams doing interpretation and translation? They are spokespeople.
What are they proclaiming? We will see that on Monday. It is something great. You are proclaiming.
If these three blessings are inside you, honestly, Jesus said, “Do not worry.” We keep worrying and being anxious, but the greatest disease, even greater than mental illness, is the disease of anxiety. That comes first and messes up the mind.
Paul, who was in great suffering, said this: “Do not be anxious about anything.” He said not to worry about anything. “With thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.”
Satan knows there is only one way to touch you. Actually, he cannot touch you. But there is one way he can. “Cast all your anxiety on the Lord. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” He comes to the one who worries. Because that connects to unbelief, he touches you.
So there is no need to worry about anything. A person who truly has the gospel is different. There is no need to worry about the future. Why would you worry about the future? Remnants don’t need to worry about the future. If you are truly saved. Wherever you are, do it 300%. Whatever it is.
Joseph going as a slave—that wasn’t his main work. He went to clean—that wasn’t his talent. But he did it 300%. Then history happened. You don’t even need to worry about that.
▣ Main point
Then before we find the answer on Monday, there are three things you must remember.
1. Inside prayer – 24, 25, eternity
First, don’t work while praying—pray while working. It may sound like a simple phrase, but there is a huge difference. There are people who listen to the message inside prayer. There are people who give tomorrow’s worship inside prayer. That person will see something tremendous. It is completely different. It’s not about praying after an incident happens. You see the incident through prayer, inside prayer. It may look like nothing. You don’t pray after seeing people—you see people inside prayer.
This is called 24, 25, and eternity. Then you will see it. You will see 24. You will see God’s work. You will see recreation. So which of the three teams do you belong to?
1) Evangelist
Evangelist.
2) Messenger
Messenger who proclaims the message in various places.
3) Interpreter
You are included in this—interpreter. Isn’t this amazing?
2. Hidden answers
Second. You are the ones to receive hidden answers in hidden places. When we say hidden answers, people just think, “Ah, it’s an answer that’s invisible.” But that’s not all.
1) Romans 16:25
It is something God has kept hidden, not giving to anyone else, and He gives it to you. You are the one to receive this.
2) Romans 16:26
Also, in every place you go—it is important—wherever you go, for every work, there is something God has hidden to give to you.
3) Romans 16:27
More importantly, it is the future. Do not worry about the future at all. Should you not prepare anything? You are in prayer. There is no greater preparation than this. Then how do you prepare for the future? If you do this (main point 2), it is enough.
3. Eternal masterpiece
Then you will create an eternal masterpiece. What is evangelism and missions? It is leaving behind eternal blessings. What is the characteristic of the work you do for the Lord and for the church? It is leaving behind an eternal masterpiece. There is nothing eternal in the world. What is the content of dedicating to the church? It is leaving behind an eternal masterpiece.
1) Genesis 1:1-13
What kind of masterpiece is this? God created the heavens and the earth by His Word. You are leaving behind the masterpiece of creation that God gives.
2) Isaiah 40:6-8
Do you know what you interpreters and translators are doing? You are serving the Word. “Go to a high mountain and speak.” Why? So that others can see. “Go to the top of the roof and speak.” So that the people of the village can see. What should you say? “Say that the Word of the LORD stands forever.” This is the Word.
When you give tomorrow’s worship, don’t just attend. You must pray to see God’s absolute plan. This is the masterpiece you are making.
3) Hebrews 4:12
That’s not the end. The Word is alive and active. It penetrates even dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. That’s the body. The power of God’s Word can heal your body. The power of God’s Word can heal cancer. It can change things. It can bring life.
4) Ezekiel 37:1-11
“Can these dry bones live?” “Sovereign Lord, You alone know, and You alone can do it.” That’s what was said. “Prophesy to them.” That’s it. You don’t even need to speak your own words. Proclaim God’s Word.
5) John 1:1-14
What is this Word? The Word is God. The Word became flesh and came. That’s how great this is. God’s Word is different from human words.
▣ Conclusion – [Faith]
Today, for you to have great victory in tomorrow’s worship—when do you do that? Right now.
Right now. “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Up until now, I understood that part. According to your faith let it be done. But in Mark 11:24, it says, “Believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” This part I couldn’t understand. “I haven’t received it—believe that I have received it?” I didn’t receive it. I prayed about this for a long time. “I haven’t received it, but believe that I have?” But as I thought about it, my eyes opened. “Wait, isn’t the whole Bible like that?” The entire Bible is like that. “I have given you the land of Canaan.” Right? That was fulfilled. If you hold onto what God has spoken to you and believe it, it is fulfilled. “Ah, that’s why believe that you have received it.” That’s why this Word is tremendous. You are now serving this Word.
So I always say this. The conclusion is, I will end as the scattered disciple.
