2025.06.12 The 9th 2025 World Church Leaders Conference
Lecture 02: “You Must Find ONLY and Make TODAY into 300%” (Acts 1:1-8)
Introduction
▶Thank you. We are church leaders, and God has prepared a blessing sufficient to save 237 — that is our theme this year. So we must not forget the past. We must not be bound by the past. We must not avoid the past. The past must be made into a complete stepping stone. And we must recover what was missed. The three things Christian organizations have missed in the past are the three courtyards. And we must save the abandoned, the people who have been cast aside.
▶The 9th World Church Leaders Conference, Session 2: “Today 300% – Only” (Acts 1:1-8)
Now, today’s Session 2 is in order to make this happen — today must be made 300%. How is this possible? Jesus gave the answer. He gave the answer of “only.” Finding this “only” is today’s 300%. Jesus said this directly. He explained the work of the kingdom of God for forty days, and said, “Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you will you receive power” — and in that He spoke of the journey, even the guidepost. In simple terms, you must do what you absolutely must do. That is “only.” If you do not do what you absolutely must do, you will end up doing the wrong thing. Nothing is more foolish than that. In the past many people taught, “Work hard,” but I don’t want to teach that way. I want to teach, “Do what is necessary.” Many people say, “Save time.” That’s true, but I don’t think that way. I say, “Make the important things important.” You shouldn’t keep working hard at unimportant things, should you? So this word is a tremendous answer.
▶Introduction – 5 Flows (the Flow of “Only”)
Now, the important thing is how to find this “only.” If you always look, you will see it. If you look at the five flows — there is, simply put, the flow of the Word, prayer, and evangelism. There is also the flow of what I see, where I go, the field. There is the spiritual flow, and the flow of the age. If you keep watching this, “only” becomes visible. Now we need to confirm this a little.
1)Genesis 3:15, Genesis 6:14, Genesis 12:1-3
▶From the very beginning, mankind was bound to perish, and so God gave the answer without any other reason. This flow keeps being missed. Because this flow was missed, destruction kept coming. So He said, “Build an ark,” “Completely change the past,” “Leave your homeland, your relatives, your father’s house” — that is what He said.
2)Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 3:18
▶But because this flow was missed again, a very important flow of the age, the “only,” was discovered. This is Jochebed. What she conveyed to Moses was one thing — the blood sacrifice. No one knew it, no one knew its value. If you don’t know this, it is a serious matter. I don’t know if this is correct, but a shaman once said something like this: through what does Satan, the demon, enter? It travels through blood, she said. That is a frightening statement. I said there is some truth to it. Spiritually speaking, the blood sacrifice is a tremendous matter, isn’t it?
3)1 Samuel 1:9-11
▶Now, look at these flows in succession. She said she needed a son, but that wasn’t quite it, was it? What was needed was a Nazirite. This is seeing the “only,” the precise covenant of the age.
4)Isaiah 7:14
▶Now, there are many more, but Israel was also taken captive. These kinds of flows appear. Immanuel — a virgin will conceive and bear a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
5)Matthew 16:16 (Romans 1:16-17)
▶So Israel was now completely and further ruined. At that time, this confession appeared: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Paul took hold of this covenant. When he abandoned everything, people said Paul had gone mad. He threw away every good thing. So they said Paul had lost his mind. They said he had gone somewhere strange. They said Paul had fallen into a heresy. That was when this answer was given: “I am not ashamed of this gospel; it is the power of God for salvation, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek; the righteous shall live by faith alone.” The world was turned upside down. When you ride the flow of “only” — Luther quoted this. As you know, the world was turned upside down.
▶Main – Now then, this is the first blessing church leaders must receive. Making today 300% is “only,” and you must find ①the beginning of “only,” ②the content of “only,” and third, ③the answer of “only” that you will enjoy every day — you must find this today as well. You must find this and go forward. When you find the answer of “only,” something tremendous happens. The work (conclusion) of “only” by which you will evangelize the world emerges. This is the second 300% that church leaders will enjoy. Now, let us look at the beginning of “only.” You could call it direction. What is the content of “only”? It is concentration on what is unseen. What is the answer of “only”? It is taking hold of what is actual.
1.The Beginning of “Only” – “Direction”
▶Now, what is the beginning of “only”?
1)Limited concentration, selected concentration, oneness concentration
▶The first one. Limited concentration. This is a very important matter. Church leaders need to have such a time occasionally. You need to have it in your life. “Only” — do not leave Jerusalem — He says something else, too. “Is this the time to restore the kingdom? That is not for you to know. Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you will you receive power” — in other words, you will receive the power of the throne, and then you will become a witness. You must find this. Then you will see what belongs to God. It is a very selected concentration — this must not be missed. And what else? “But then what about everything else?” Everything else gets saved. It is oneness concentration. You must have this. For reference, I only pray this prayer. I do not pray other things. I keep praying to continually enjoy the seven bartizans, the journey, the guidepost. Why? Because Jesus told us to do only that, didn’t He? He told us to pray for the kingdom of God to come, didn’t He? Why would I do anything else? He explained it for forty days, didn’t He? Then we should do that. All the church members are strange — they don’t do what Jesus told them to do, and instead keep doing other things. As I kept doing this, the seven bartizans, the journey, the guidepost became visible to me. For others, it may appear even more precisely, even more clearly. That is the answer each of you personally receives. You keep praying this.
2)237 – 5,000 People Groups
▶Until when? Until this (237 – 5,000) is fulfilled. Jesus said it, didn’t He? This is not my own words. “To the ends of the earth” — “only,” then you will receive power, and you will go to the ends of the earth. Try starting all your work anew. Today our elders formed a choir and sang praise, and I think that was wonderful. There are also professionals, aren’t there? Professionals are a different matter. These people simply live their lives and out of devotion, because they love praise and find it good, they choose to do it — that is wonderful. But for professionals, it’s not like that — it’s their profession. What should be done? They absolutely must find their “only.” Professionals must find their “only.” Truly try praying about it. Then to what extent will it happen? It will reach the point of being able to save 237 – 5,000 people groups. That is normal.
3)Romans 16:25-27
▶When that happens, Paul reached this conclusion. It aligns with this (Romans 16:25-27). This (Romans 16:25-27) is direction. Direction must align with God — this (Romans 16:25-27) is what direction means. “I will give you what was kept secret since the world began” — and so, occasionally, an outstanding figure may appear among unbelievers. What will surely come to that person? A spiritual problem will come. So you must quickly share the gospel with that person. A spiritual problem will come — it cannot but come. But because you are this answer in Christ, you will heal that spiritual problem. Every church leader must receive this blessing. Before you receive this blessing, do not even speak. If you are not enjoying this blessing, what is there to say anywhere? Do not even worry. You don’t even have the right to worry, do you? Do not be anxious. You are busy — where is there time to be anxious? If you miss all of this, the direction must be aligned. This is what Christ Himself said directly, isn’t it?
2.The Content of “Only” – “Concentration (Acts 1:1, 3, 8 → the Three-Day Weekend Age)”
▶Now then, you must think once about this concentration. What exactly is the content of “only”? Jesus said it, didn’t He? The risen Christ appeared directly. He explained the work of the kingdom of God for forty days, didn’t He? “Only when you are filled with the Holy Spirit will you receive power; you will be witnesses to the ends of the earth” — now you concentrate on this. You engage in limited concentration. In a word, what does this mean? It means the three-day weekend age. What is yesterday? It is the three courtyards. If you cannot find the three courtyards, you absolutely cannot change the historical past of the age. If you cannot find the three courtyards, you cannot stop the church’s destruction that has occurred up until now. That is why the past is extremely important. Making the past 300% — this makes today 300%.
1)The Nephilim
▶Why is this? The Nephilim took everything away. The Nephilim monopolized it. Especially three organizations. These three organizations gather on the three-day weekend. In developed countries, the three-day weekend is the schedule that ruins the next generation. Each religious organization has begun observing the three-day weekend. This is a very important matter. So church leaders must be able to go into the three-day weekend age and be witnesses there, mustn’t they?
2)Three Concentrations
▶Three concentrations. Healing and summit — you understand, don’t you? The Remnant summit, the worship summit — this is the answer. You must heal. You must not just heal. After healing, you must make this person a summit. You must make the Remnant a summit. On Sunday, your worship must become a summit. Three concentrations…
3)The Absolute Watchman
▶So then, what does this accomplish? It completes the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. What does that accomplish? What is the standard of completion? The absolute bartizan is built. Isn’t that right? Then it is finished. Then you can go on the absolute journey. The absolute guidepost is established. Then who are you? You are the absolute watchman. Without you, it cannot be. The absolute watchman — be confident of this. One of you can save everyone. God is not about numbers. We are the ones who must be about numbers. God is not about numbers, is that right? God can work even with just one person. With the Remnant, He did everything with just one person. You are the absolute watchmen.
3.The Answer of “Only” – “The Actual (Acts 2:1)”
▶Then, with this “only,” this 300% of today, you must obtain the answer at all times.
1)Acts 2:17-18 (the Word)
▶Acts 2:17-18 — just before it, it says, “the day of Pentecost had now come.” Simply put, this means He had now worked. You must always obtain the answer of the Word. Getting the answer for the flow of my life within the Word — that is the time of Sunday worship, that is today. You have already received a tremendous answer, yesterday and today.
2)Acts 2:9-11 (Evangelism, Missions)
▶Acts 2:9-11. What is this? Going is not the problem. You must always see first. It is obtaining the answer of evangelism and missions. It must be seen.
3)Acts 2:43-47 (The Field – the Answer)
▶And what is this? Acts 2:43-47. What is this? It is the answer of the field. You go to the field and see the answer. These people who came from these fifteen nations are people of work. Simply put, they opened their pockets. They received such grace that material blessing overflowed, it is said. And what else? Daily in the temple, daily in their homes — church leaders, do not think of anything else, just keep praying this prayer. Just keep praying for the bartizan, the journey, the guidepost. Then the answer comes out. The answer comes out from within the Word. And that word is fulfilled. And evangelism and missions become visible. Isn’t that amazing? So you can give the answer wherever you go into the field.
♠Conclusion: “Only – Work”
▶Then your work cannot help but happen. You absolutely must not miss this. Now, as you do this, what emerges? “Only” becomes visible in your work, doesn’t it? Here the answer begins again. The three concentrations, the setting, the three answers continue always, but from here something different emerges.
1)Editing – Fulfillment of the Word
▶You keep editing until the Word is fulfilled. You must do this. You must be careful with books. You must read many books. Why? Because you are editing — but if you simply follow a book, it will be a disaster. That is how business fails. People look at a book, gain courage, and start something. Look at just one book and your thinking changes, doesn’t it? That is how important and how problematic a book can be. So you mainly do your editing using books — using them as material, but the answer must come from the Word. You cannot help but win.
2)Designing (설계) – Answered Prayer
▶With what must you design? What must you keep designing with? The standard is that answered prayer keeps happening. Otherwise you will keep doing other things, won’t you?
3)Designing (디자인) – The Field
▶You keep designing. What? Until the field becomes visible. Everything must show the field. Business must show the field too, study must show the field too — everything must be shown through the field.
▶As for you all — you have chosen well, but for the music professionals among you, I wish they would continue holding small concerts. While touring as well. Continuing to go to Remnant gatherings and perform there too — of course, I am not telling the rest of you not to do this, but the professionals especially. I haven’t seen this in Japan myself, but I heard that in our country, once someone reaches the level of Sumi Jo, they’re hard to meet, aren’t they? That’s right. But in Japan, I heard that someone at the level of Sumi Jo visits schools, saying, “I won a prize in the world, so I came to you — you do this too.” That’s what they do. In our country, once someone becomes famous, they become hard to meet. Also those who practice taekwondo — taekwondo can become a door for missions, can’t it? But when you look at the taekwondo practitioners in Korea, their thinking doesn’t turn that way. Go on tour. Find disciples as you tour. If you just find disciples, your taekwondo studio will be filled only with disciples. I don’t know why they don’t do this. Form a taekwondo team and tour, I tell them. That is missions. Keep editing, designing, and designing. Continually — I am still reading a book about breathing even now. Reading it now, I can tell what’s genuine and what’s fake. Ah, I can tell what point they were trying to make when they wrote it. Mostly, I see that it was written to argue for one particular point. It is helpful. But the answer comes from here. Otherwise, you will absolutely go somewhere else. That is how it turns out.
▶This is the church leaders’ past 300%, today’s 300%. Tonight will be the future 300%. With this as the conclusion, I will tell you what you must absolutely do. But always remember this when you hold the Word and pray, when you worship. There is something you must remember when you praise. When you pray alone, and also when you worship together, you must remember this. There is a work that happens to us, isn’t there? Three works happen. The Triune God works. And what happens? The armies of heaven are mobilized. Isn’t that right? Conversely, darkness is bound. During the time of prayer, the Bible says it is so. While you are not even going anywhere, but praying, the Triune God governs the whole universe and is with us. Isn’t that right? Wherever the Word comes, wherever the Word is held, the armies of heaven are mobilized there. The one who knew this was David. He confessed it in Psalm 103:20-22, didn’t he? And without even going, darkness is bound.
▶Also, when you firmly take hold of the covenant today, when you hold the Word, what happens? What happens? Jesus explained it, didn’t He? The power of the throne appears. Isn’t that right? And how does the answer come? The kingdom of God comes. While you are praying, then how is it fulfilled? The work of the kingdom of God is accomplished. Right now, today, while you are holding the covenant, a spiritual work that no one knows about happens. Isn’t that right? A spiritual work that no one knows about happens while you pray. But if you take it lightly and keep being anxious, then without even realizing it, a tremendous bartizan of darkness is built. Isn’t that right? So when some problem comes — since it has come anyway, you must enjoy it. Difficult things can happen. Since it has come anyway, you must enjoy it. If you let yourself be gripped by anxiety over it, a bartizan of darkness will be built. So you keep praying this prayer instead. Then, continually, God’s bartizan is built.
▶And in closing, what must be done in every place, in every matter? You must confirm. You must confirm the answer. Isn’t that right? Confirming the answer — that is the meeting, that is the work. In the morning you gain strength, at night you obtain the answer, and during the day you confirm. Do you understand? In the morning, church leaders must absolutely gain strength — through “only.” At night, you must obtain the answer through “only.” During the day, what? You confirm. Right now, here, is a gathering of blessed church leaders the likes of which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Isn’t that right? You must confirm this. Then, historically in the Bible, what answer came at such a time? This is the Mizpah gathering. What happened? They held the Mizpah gathering, and one important answer emerged. What emerged? As long as Samuel lived, there was no war. This is a very important matter.
▶As has always been the case, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that the greatest blessing will come upon you at this church leaders’ conference. I will pray.
(Prayer)
We thank You, God. God who gave us the covenant of “only,” by that power, let us save the field. Let our work also be made new. Let our studies also be made new. Work in the field where the church leaders are, and also in their homes and churches.
We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
