31. May 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:4
▣ Introduction
Remnants must surely remember: You must make “preparations to save your region and the world.” The most important thing is that you must not be deceived by lies. Joseph’s brothers lived so, so difficultly for their entire lives. Why was that? It is because they were holding onto the wrong things. Our Remnants must surely remember this.
1) Prayer 300%
What exactly does this mean? Because Joseph possessed this, it was extremely easy. Everything is decided right here. Evangelism is something so easy, but isn’t it difficult [for you]? That is because it is the wrong thing. If Remnants are not careful, they listen to those wrong things and grow old. That must not happen. For Joseph, it was too easy. What on earth is this?
(1) Bartizan (Platform): Right now, the Bartizan of Jehovah has stood within me. This is called a Platform. Since there is a Bartizan, Remnants must unconditionally make a Bartizan of Prayer.
(2) Journey (Watchtower): Then, you can go on the Journey carrying this. It is completely prepared, right? When going on the Journey, you shine the light; therefore, it is called a Watchtower.
(3) Guidepost (Antenna): You can make Guideposts here and there that emit light. This is called an Antenna. Therefore, Remnants must receive this answer first and prepare.
2) Studies
Then, your studies will align with these three things:
(1) 237: They align with the 237 nations. That is how you succeed.
(2) 5,000 Tribes: They align with the 5,000 tribes.
(3) TCK: Even while you are just doing [your work], they align with TCKs. Only in this way can you do world evangelization. Do not worry about your studies right now, but prepare 300%. It is a very easy thing, but you are suffering because you keep hearing wrong words.
3) Remnant
So, what is a Remnant?
(1) Transcending Time and Space: If you know this fact, you come to know the answer of transcending time and space. Prayer is transcending time and space.
(2) Unprecedented: You are praying now, but what will happen later? God gives an unprecedented answer. This is the answer given to Remnants. He gives unprecedented answers and answers that transcend time and space.
(3) Throne / Kingdom / Work: Why do these things happen? Regarding the blessing of the Throne, while you are sitting here and praying right now, the Kingdom of God descends. Right? You must believe this. Jesus explained for 40 days that the affairs of God’s Kingdom would be fulfilled. It is surely so.
What is an answer? The fact that “this kind of thing” appeared now—that is not the answer. That is a result. An answer occurs here [inside]. Someone, a certain person, committed suicide—that is a result. It is a result; the spiritual problem had already arrived. Right? That is an answer [in a sense], but a wrong answer. This [spiritual state] comes to the Remnant first. That is why Jesus explained it continually. Because they didn’t believe, He explained for 40 days. Even so, they didn’t believe. Who is the person who understood these words? It is Paul. When you understand, works occur. I say it again. What is an answer? It is this. Whether I am healed or sick—that is a result. Whether I earned money or not—that is a result; the answer starts here [spiritually] first. Therefore, when they asked Jesus to teach them prayer, He said to pray for the Kingdom to descend. Even at the very end, He explained about the affairs of God’s Kingdom for 40 days. Remnants do not need to worry about anything. If you grasp this covenant and build [the Bartizan], you are destined to victory. There are no competitors. To say there is a competitor means you have already grasped worldly things. There was no competitor for Joseph. Right? No competitor for Moses. Look at it! No competitor for David. Then, what does it mean to say there is a competitor? It means doing things with similar skills regarding worldly things; that is competition. When my skill and this friend’s skill are the same, we must compete. Right? Carry this blessing and do world evangelization.
▣ Main Body
Let us take a look.
1. Acts 17:1-9
Paul went here.
1) Synagogue: To the synagogue. But what is important here is Thessalonica.
2) Thessalonica (Rome): There is a road in Thessalonica that connects to Rome. Thessalonica is a region with a road connecting to Rome.
3) Christ: He went to the synagogue here and explained this one thing properly. By explaining only Christ properly, you can give the answer. This past week, that person who appeared in our interview on the broadcast—their hair is long now—that person is a [former] Buddhist monk. Not just any monk, but a chief monk. He suffered immense spiritual problems and difficulties. This person came to know that, as time went on, this [monkhood] wouldn’t work. No matter how much he tried, it wouldn’t work. All of that is a lie. “I am practicing the way [asceticism] by myself”—all of that is a lie. It is being deceived. This person was resolved by meeting Christ. Therefore, he threw away everything he was doing as a chief monk and came to church. Didn’t he say so? Because Christ is the answer, many people are trapped in darkness without knowing. Remnants must arise and save them.
2. Acts 18:1-4
Where is this?
1) Corinth: It is Corinth. Corinth, a neighborhood with the greatest idols; a port city completely covered by the culture of darkness…
2) Synagogue: Again, he visits the synagogue.
3) Friday-Saturday-Sunday (Prayer): It said “every Sabbath” here. This is the Friday-Saturday-Sunday Age. If a Remnant only realizes what worship is and what prayer is, they can do everything.
3. Acts 19:8-21
Where is this?
1) Tyrannus: It is Tyrannus. The central city of Ephesus, where the great statue of Artemis stands.
2) Synagogue: Therefore, he visited the synagogue.
3) Kingdom: There, he explained about the Kingdom of God.
▣ Conclusion
What is more important is the conclusion. There is a background that Paul was desperately teaching.
1) AD 70 – 1948
Not many years were left. In AD 70, Israel was completely destroyed. God completely collapsed Israel, which was blocking the Gospel and teaching the Law. Israel, which blocked this Gospel of grace and taught only systems, culture, and customs—God collapsed them at this time. Until 1948 [the restoration of Israel], it was gruesome. Remnants, do not be deceived. At that time, whom did He send into that [destruction]? Remnants. They were all dragged into there. How great is the power of the Gospel? Even though only 1 or 2 people realized, works occurred. Right now, because you have no feeling and cannot see it: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
2) AD 79
This is something that happened not long after. It is the year that Pompeii, the center of Roman culture, exploded. It wasn’t just [by chance].
3) AD 313
Something even more ironic: it is the day Rome declared Christianity as the state religion.
All of this was prepared for. This time right now, when Remnants are receiving the Gospel, is the time God is preparing for the future. Do not be deceived. If we are not careful, we have no choice but to use worldly things, physical things, and things learned from adults as our standards. Those are not incorrect words, are they? But with those things, you cannot do world evangelization. The words spoken by the Jews were not incorrect. It’s just that it wasn’t the Gospel; the words weren’t “wrong.” But you cannot do world evangelization, and you cannot solve spiritual problems. That is why they die. In death, the things you liked so much and cherished become useless. Then, you leave spiritual problems behind and go. You must stop this. Do not be deceived; it is enough if Remnants are not deceived. You keep being deceived by looking at reality. You are deceived by looking at yourself. Deceived by looking at parents, deceived by going to church—you miss everything. If a Remnant just grasps this covenant, works will surely occur. I will pray.
Prayer. May today become an important day, may today become a day of healing, may today become a day where spiritual doors open, may the Kingdom of God descend in every place, may this be a time where the affairs of God’s Kingdom are fulfilled, may today be a day where all darkness blocking the Gospel is bound, and may today be a day for the Remnant where doors of world evangelization quickly open. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
