「The Gospel Remnant in the Age of Philistia」(1Sa 1:9-11)
▣ Introduction: The Absolute Sovereign
First, you must understand that God is the Absolute Sovereign with absolute sovereignty. What do I mean?
1. Life (Fundamental): He is the Absolute Sovereign who gives life. Humanity has lost hold of this again.
2. Restoration (Gospel): He performs the work of restoration through His absolute sovereignty. This is called the Gospel. Originally it was life, but since it was taken away, He gave the Gospel to restore it.
3. Proclamation (Missions): God’s absolute sovereignty is to have this proclaimed. This is the mission, called Missions.
(Fundamental): Life was originally the fundamental thing God gave. However, since it was taken away after leaving God and being tempted by Satan, God immediately restored it.
▣ Main Body: What?
What exactly am I talking about? Let’s look at the figures of the Philistine era.
1. 1 Samuel 1:9-11 — God’s Absolute Plan:
This is Hannah’s prayer before Samuel was born. The word Nazarite means that although God is the Absolute Sovereign, because He is the Absolute Sovereign, He has an Absolute Plan. Hannah saw this.
2. 1 Samuel 3:1-19 — God’s Absolute Covenant:
Samuel came to enjoy this. It follows naturally: God’s Absolute Covenant. He heard God’s voice. From that point on, not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground. He held onto God’s Absolute Covenant. Hannah had no choice but to receive answers to her prayers because she saw the Absolute Plan—something she hadn’t seen before.
3. 1 Samuel 7:1-15 — God’s Absolute Journey:
As Samuel grew, he launched the Mizpah Movement. This is called God’s Absolute Journey. It surely comes out.
4. 1 Samuel 16:1-13 — God’s Absolute Goal:
Afterward, David was born and received God’s amazing grace. What was it? He was commanded to build the Temple. He spoke of God’s important Ark of the Covenant. David could not fail; he possessed God’s Absolute Goal.
5. 1 Samuel 17:1-47 — God’s Absolute Guidepost:
Finally, David defeated Goliath. This was God’s Absolute Guidepost to announce God to the entire world. Our Remnants walk this path. Because you are children of God who possesses absolute sovereignty, you take these three things (Introduction) as your fundamental and you go.
▣ Conclusion: God’s Time Schedule
If a Remnant prays just a little bit, this conclusion emerges: you will be within God’s Time Schedule. You will be within God’s time—within that most important time of the Lord. This was true for the 7 Remnants.
Therefore, for Remnants, Sunday worship should not be a time of waiting, but a time of great enjoyment. If the ability to pray becomes imprinted in you even a little, you will study while praying. If this happens, your academic work will conquer the world. You aren’t just going out into the world; you are going out with the Power of Prayer.
First of all, your eyes will change. If you look at people while praying and enjoying this, every person is a door, every problem is a blessing, and every incident is a blessing. Right? God is ultimately the One who does this (Introduction). He wants to give life, restore it, and spread it to the whole world to save others. Remnants must enter this time schedule. It looks like something that happened in the Philistine era, but it is the same today.
How do you enter this? As I just mentioned:
[3 Concentrations]: At first, do “3 Concentrations” for just a short moment at a time.
[24, 25, 00]: Then your rhythm will come to life, and one day it will become like this. Once it does, you will see.
Our church officers, who are a bit older, must enter this because you absolutely need to gain strength right now: 3 Concentrations and 24, 25, Eternity. Our pastors are also aging, so you must absolutely enjoy this blessing.
The answer already came out during the prayer earlier, but the morning is the time to conquer the universe through prayer. Your daytime may look like small meetings or minor tasks, but it is the time to conquer the world. Your time alone, especially at night, is the time to conquer the future.
Remnants must remember: there are times when you are lonely. That is the time to immerse yourself in God. It is the time to create a masterpiece. Time alone is not “empty time”; it is “filling time.” I have liked being alone since I was young. It wasn’t because I disliked people or was a loner, but because there were so many things I had to find while alone. There were so many books I had to read. Even until I got married, as a young man, I would always take a book and go to the farthest reaches of Busan. I’d find a rural area, have a meal, and come back. I wanted to do it every day, but I couldn’t, so I did it on Saturdays. I prepared messages and read important books. It was such a great time. After I got married, I couldn’t do it because I’d be asked where I was going, and they’d want to come along!
When I go abroad for conferences, I put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on my hotel door from the first day to the last. That way, I can spread out my materials, pray, and look at things comfortably.
A Remnant’s time alone is not a lonely time; it is a time of being with God. Your brief wandering is not wandering; it is finding the path God has prepared. The times you failed or faced problems mean you had an important experience. Remnants across the world must recover the strength of true peace that God gives. Whatever situation you are in, it is okay. You just have to go from the very bottom toward the top. Not “decent”—from the absolute bottom toward the summit.
Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant the Remnants true courage to believe in Your absolute sovereignty. Grant them true strength to walk within the Absolute Time Schedule. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
