Scripture Reading: Genesis 45:5
Among the blessings you will receive is the culture summit. If you receive the 300% blessing here, you can save others.
First, you must begin changing little by little the visible things. When you come to worship on Sunday and sing hymns, clap your hands with a joyful heart, and then health will come. The deaconesses at least clap a little, but the elders are sitting there with hardened expressions. You must not sit there with a hardened expression. Smile like this. Speak good words as well. Do not gossip about others or speak curses, but speak good words. And when you take courage with faith, your illnesses are healed. Right? You also become spiritually well. It is not just ordinary courage. When you have courage of faith, spiritual change also arises.
There is one deacon I know who sells hotteok. I asked, “Are they selling well?” and they said not very well. I smiled and said to the deacon, “Wear some nicer clothes.” I told them, “God looks at the heart, but people look at the outward appearance.” If you dress almost like a beggar while selling hotteok, who will want to buy hotteok? Isn’t that right? You must change such things. When you come to church, if possible, wear the nicest clothes. Match the colors of your clothes and look stylish. Then something will change. When you come on Sunday, you must really clap and sing praise loud, pray with your voice, and gain strength. Only then will you become healthy.
Near Yeowon Church in Seoul, there is an old lady who digs through all the trash cans. She gathers scrap metal and discarded boxes and so on. She fills a cart and walks around the entire neighborhood. Her children are ashamed of her and tell her not to do that. But can that be forced? The lady continues doing it diligently. The daughter’s thinking is wrong. Right? That grandmother is working now. She piles heavy loads and walks around like a young person. The daughter’s thinking is wrong. Even when old, you must live like that. You must go around doing your work.
▣ Introduction
1. 7·7·7 Enjoy 24, wait for 25, challenge the eternity – spiritual summit
While doing this, with the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts that God has given, you enjoy 24. And you wait for 25. And you make the challenge called eternity. This is called the spiritual summit. You are to receive this blessing.
Every day you must gain strength, every day you must have the courage of faith, and every day you must live before God like this. Then both your body and your spirit will revive. Especially on Sunday, you must truly receive the blessing of God. On Sunday, you must really devote yourself to prayer and restore everything like this. When you keep gaining strength more and more, even as you grow old, as Paul said, you will become stronger like Moses.
2. 7·7·7 Edit, plan, design – skill summit
So now, with this 7·7·7, edit, plan, and design completely with what God has given. This is called the skill summit. Do not just go to your workplace. About the field in which you work, you must continuously read books and study. Because one day, since you are within God’s blessing and within this (7·7·7), you will become a skill summit.
3. 7·7·7 studies, work – culture summit
And now this blessing appears through your life, studies, and work. Not just blessings in general, but it appears in your studies and work. This is called the culture summit.
And every day, even if evangelism does not take place, you must think, “Whom shall I share the gospel with today?” Today you will surely meet someone. You must certainly give testimony of the grace you received. You must do it. When that becomes your lifestyle, many things become revived. Some people, whenever they meet others, always speak badly about others. They may not go to hell, but they must live like hell if they do that.
This is the introduction. You must certainly enjoy this.
▣ Main
Now, how do we enjoy this blessing? There are three things.
1. Only 〔Discover〕
When you are praying like this, the first blessing you receive is that “only” is discovered. Only. While you are praying, in your business and in your work, the blessing of only begins to appear.
2. Uniqueness 〔Have〕
And what is next? You go having uniqueness. In fact, it is the same expression, but once “only” is discovered, when you go into the world to others, you have uniqueness.
Our multiethnic people who have come from abroad must certainly receive this blessing. How much must you pray while in Korea? Until “only” becomes visible. And when you go into the world, what must you carry? You must carry uniqueness. Isn’t that right?
Everyone who actually received answers was like this. To give just one example, Joseph already discovered “only.” He found it to the point where it appeared in dreams. Whether he was taken as a slave, put into prison, or appeared before the king, it did not matter. He went with the answer of uniqueness. Since this is the blessing you are to receive, you must certainly remember it.
3. Re-creation 〔Challenge〕
Finally, what is it? You see re-creation. You challenge it.
You must read the words carefully. Only is discovered. Then you go having uniqueness. Then re-creation becomes visible. You challenge it.
You must take courage. If you remain powerless or discouraged, your body, your surroundings, and other people all die. But when you gain strength, others are revived with you. That blessing has come to you. Many of our church workers are very good workers. But if you lose strength because you are struggling, then others also lose strength. All our workers have received training for a long time—how important are they? If you lose strength because it is difficult, everything dies.
Because this (introduction, main) blessing is guaranteed, this is certain. Our Immanuel churches will surely go to the 5,000 tribes. You must gain strength for economic power to be restored. And when you come to church and give offering, do not just give. Give with a joyful heart. This is the economy of light. Right? When you give offering, never give it just as a habit. The offering I give is used for world evangelization. Is that right? The building offering we give is for the future to be revived. Right? You gather prayers for that. Then the multiethnic people will gather and come to our church and enjoy 24, 25, and eternity. Right? That is why we build.
Now, our important workers are doing well diligently, and those people are receiving help, but the reason we build is so that they can come to be 24.
1. Only 〔Discover〕
Now, we should look at this a little. Only. Because this is the method Jesus taught. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”
1) Talent
Then the important talents you have appear. You see them. This is sometimes lifelong, and sometimes something you see in different places as well.
2) Evangelism
And from here evangelism begins to be seen. Because I have “only.”
3) Work
More importantly, what is it? “Only” appears in your work. “Only” appears in your studies. This is the blessing you are to receive. “Only” appears in your business.
2. Uniqueness 〔Have〕
1) Field
From then on, we save the field. We go having uniqueness.
2) People
And we save people.
3) Incidents
We face incidents, but we save through them. This is the blessing you are to receive.
3. Re-creation 〔Challenge〕
And what is it? Re-creation arises.
1) Future
The future comes alive. Re-creation.
2) Healing
And what else? You heal many people.
3) Reproduction
And what else? In your studies, your job, your work, and your church, reproduction must keep taking place. This is the blessing you are to receive. You must certainly enjoy it.
▣ Conclusion_ [RT 7]
The seven Remnants actually received this.
So, wherever I go, I look for this (main). This is very important. Wherever you go, there is surely the “only” you must do. So stop being jealous or competing with others or trying to steal someone’s position. You will not succeed. Always remember this. Especially our Remnants. You cannot succeed that way. Maybe temporarily. Wherever you go, discover “only.” Then already, with this blessing of “only,” you go to others having uniqueness. And you go re-creating.
Hebrews 11:38
Hebrews chapter 11 gathers only the heroes of faith. In verse 38, it says, “of whom the world was not worthy.” Right? The world cannot overcome you. The world cannot win against you. Right? There may be temporary suffering, but the world cannot win against you. There may be temporary confusion, but darkness cannot overcome the light. Right?
Today all day long you must gain spiritual strength and truly enjoy prayer and truly enjoy praise. When elders pray, you must pray together with your heart. When you sing, you must confess your faith and sing with strength. And when you give offering, you must pray so that the economies of darkness collapse and poverty collapses. I grew up seeing that. I saw my mother offering with such devotion that I wondered, “Do you really have to do it like that?” What miracle did God give? He made us never become sick, not even once. It is a miracle. And God made it so that we never faced economic hardship.
May this blessing be delivered to the places you go, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer. We thank God. Let today be a day of gaining new strength. Let today be a day of healing. Let this be a day when our elders, deaconesses, and ordained deacons gain more health. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
