Devotional Worship for Remnant Summit Committee, Missions School Dept.
Scripture Reading: Acts 9:1-15
Thank you. Since it’s the holiday season, the roads were somewhat congested. But in particular, on the way from Busan toward Gijang, only one spot kept being jammed. I looked to see why it was so backed up, and the cars were lined up to enter Haedong Yonggungsa. There is a temple in Gijang called Haedong Yonggungsa. Cars going in there were backed up all the way to Haeundae. So I know what Haedong Yonggungsa is for. I visited once in the past, and first of all, there’s a lot to see. In my view, they have occupied so much of the sea—almost to the point of illegality—to set everything up for idol worship. Simply put, they’ve made it so people can’t help but come. Here at our school, as we carry out evangelism, we must make it so that people can’t help but come. Don’t get distracted by other things; we must focus entirely on saving people. This place has all the conditions to equip an excellent system as much as we want. So, when the time comes in the future, if we hire people skilled in landscaping and various forms of construction and build it, we can make it the best.
That’s important too, but we must raise disciples capable of world evangelization. We are to make this (evangelism disciples for world evangelization). If we are careless, we will end up greatly harming the students right now.
▣ Introduction: The Three Courtyards
So we must make this certain first. We don’t need to make strange idols like a temple; what we must have is the three courtyards. This will be the official authority going forward. Even unbelievers must be able to perceive it: “Ah, this church is different!”—that must be unmistakable. Since quite a few elders are doing much work, we must apply professionalism here. The three courtyards are a highway. A highway. If there is no highway, cars cannot come. Didn’t our country do really well to build expressways? Without them, distribution would not function well and development would be impossible. These three courtyards are expressways. You must remember this. So you must first look squarely at the three things. We must build them in our school.
(Talent)
The issue is that this is about talent right now. The reason for building the three courtyards is talent. Whether to send students overseas or keep them here is important, but if talent is not discovered, it’s in vain. Then some parents around Gangnam get greedy with their children and end up ruining them all.
[ Jews ]
Then, as we know, we should look into the Jews who have taken the most Nobel Prizes. These people have all their children read the Torah, the Talmud, and the Shema.
[ 1. Reading ]
Because they read all three, if they have read these three books, they have effectively read almost everything else. But because our children have not read them, there are also cases where they cannot find (their way).
[ 2. Great figures ]
And the Jews invariably tell their children a story about a great figure once a day. From what I see, that’s truly good. I too, when I used to teach middle and high school students, deliberately read those to tell the stories. For the Jews, it is a must. They always do that. Thus, great figures emerge from there.
[ 3. The Three Feasts ]
And there is something they do together with the parents. This is even more important. Together, they engage in the same activity. During the three feasts they pitch tents together. This becomes tremendous education. So it’s not for others to do; the father and the family make them together. Like this.
[ 4. The Sabbath ]
And there is one thing they regard as life itself. If you break it, you are put to death. It is the Sabbath. This is like life. I think it is very reasonable. You must worship like that on the Lord’s Day. It is regrettable. I am not saying “don’t do this or that.” It may sound strange, but have no distractions. You must not. You must derive every answer on the Lord’s Day. It may seem foolish. These people stake their lives on it. In some places, if you work on the Sabbath, they even put you to death. That is why these people dominate the world.
[ 5. Coming-of-age ceremony (Professionalism) ]
And when they turn thirteen, they have a coming-of-age ceremony. This means they have discovered their professionalism—professionalism. So at the coming-of-age ceremony they invite professionals and do it together. So they cannot be beaten. It’s beyond talent; they discover professionalism, gather the experts, receive counsel, and have conversations—everything. That is the coming-of-age ceremony.
So in our school here, we must prepare something that surpasses this. You already have all the preparation and capability to do it, so you only need to open your eyes. We don’t need to advertise, but with that alone our church will become known throughout the entire region. We must do that. It cannot help but become known. Whether it is by God’s grace or by the activities of the wicked, our Darakbang is known worldwide. It will become known. And it doesn’t end there.
[ 6. Synagogue (Field-orientation) ]
Children who have completed the coming-of-age ceremony are sent to the synagogue. There they not only equip professionalism but also field-orientation.
[ 7. Lodge (Futurity) ]
Lastly, it still does not end. There is also a field where only the successful gather. This is called the “lodge.” This is entirely geared toward futurity.
This is the Jews.
[ The Gospel ]
We—who have the correct Gospel—must be further ahead than this (the Jews).
[ 1. The Word ]
We must read the must-read books to the point that God’s Word becomes visible.
[ 2. Christ ]
We must study figures to the point that Christ becomes visible. Right? If you study figures properly, Christ becomes visible. How should you guide the study of figures? Show their successes, and show what happened when they failed. Right? Tolstoy died as a vagrant at a train station. Only after he died did they realize, “Ah, this person was Tolstoy.” Why did it happen? You must teach it. Hemingway, who moved the world—he committed suicide. Why? How did Napoleon die? Only then does Christ become the answer. Of course, do those studies as well.
[ 3. Always ]
The Jews keep the three feasts. We must surpass that. For us, it is the three feasts always.
[ 4. Worship–Prayer ]
The Jews regard the Sabbath as life itself. We must teach what worship and prayer are.
[ 5. Only ]
At this time, the fifth thing appears to our remnants. “Only” appears. We must teach this. We must make them see it. If one truly understands prayer, “Only” becomes visible. Why? Because talents are given from above. That is why the phrase “genius” uses the character for “heaven” (天). It is given from above. But if one does not know prayer, then what? No one understands.
I went to a conference in America, and they were busy throwing some feast. The truly important people were working in the kitchen. That is a foolish pastor. His key members need to receive grace, but they were all working in the kitchen. So I told him, “If you do this every day, when will those people receive grace? Just buy food.” That’s what I said.
[ 6. Uniqueness ]
When “Only” is discovered, “Uniqueness” comes out. Right?
[ 7. Re-creation ]
From here, “Re-creation” comes out. We must surely say it this way.
[ OURS ]
Then what should our school make simply, and what should the church make going forward? A system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation must be built. How good are the times now!
[ Materials ]
Make them see the materials. Enable a meeting without going anywhere. There has never been a better time than now. We can show them all the materials. We must make it so that children can naturally and quickly see what is important. It is fine to deliberately make them see, but we must structure it so they will see.
For example, how much do the Jews save time? Even if a friend comes by, they do not meet them. The friend does not misunderstand. Why? Because they did not make an appointment beforehand. You must make the appointment in advance—don’t we call it an appointment? It must be made in advance. So they do not meet the friend—even if the friend came. Now, such people spend two hours at a meal. They do many things. If you spend two hours per meal, what happens? If you eat three times a day, what do you think? At those times, they show all this. The materials. That is where the word “panorama” came from. While they eat, materials flow across the wall beside them.
We too should install monitors here and there so people can see the materials. I told Busan to do this, and they didn’t. Shouldn’t we show how the members are participating in construction now, how much they are giving in offerings, and so on? Show it all. It should be visible as they sit.
When I went to Pyongyang, in the hotel there were monitors everywhere. Those are not televisions. They show video materials. From Kim Il Sung onward to the present—they broadcast propaganda materials 24/7.
Then there must be something to see when people come to church… We really must do this. The school should be such that people struggle to come and line up outside.
Since there isn’t much time, I will tell you what we absolutely must do.
▣ Main
Having said that, what are we ultimately trying to do? Now, God—I have chosen Paul as the figure. What must we do for our remnants before they go out into the world? We must, of course, do this (Introduction). Naturally. But there is something that, if we don’t do, is absolutely unacceptable.
1. One who has found the answer in Christ
One must be a person who has found the answer in Christ. Nothing else should be necessary. The answer has been found in Christ. One who has found the answer in Christ does not fear death. One who has found the answer in Christ does not fall into temptation. One who has found the answer in Christ has no “why,” because they know.
2. What Christ has given
Second, our remnants must take what Christ has given them. How is it that they gather up all sorts of things from everywhere, and then they don’t take the one thing Christ has given? That’s amazing. They pack all the world’s lies into their bags, but exclude the real thing God has given. That is backbreaking labor. It destroys the kids. Some children just lose their minds—it’s so hard. And then, when asked, “Why don’t you do this?”—they still do not do what Christ has given. Truly astounding.
3. Those who have seen evangelism and missions in advance
We must form them like this.
They must have the answer. They must know what Christ has given. When they go to do evangelism and missions, that’s not it; they must be those who have seen evangelism and missions in advance.
For me, in this military missions effort, it’s not important how big it is. Right? If God blesses these people, what do you think will happen? It will have a tremendous impact.
1. One who has found the 〔answer〕 in Christ
1. Acts 9:10
Now, one who has found the answer in Christ. While he was just staying still, God called him. That’s how it is. “Ananias!” This is the person who has the answer. “Ananias!” This is evangelism. Why did Christ touch Paul as he passed through Damascus? That is important. “Is there a crony in that town?” No. There was a church leader in that town who had found the answer in Christ. To entrust (Paul) to him, Christ broke him as he passed through Damascus.
2. Acts 9:15
And through that man He gave the answer. “He is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings.” The answer was given.
3. Acts 11:25-26
Then people were talking nonsense. “Paul is a fake; who knows if he truly repented?” At that time, there was someone who brought Paul. Barnabas. He invited and brought Paul to the church in Antioch. Amazing, right?
One who has the answer in Christ—Satan knows. He knows whether someone has the answer in Christ or not. The demons know like demons. They know whom they can touch. They also know whom they absolutely cannot touch.
2. What Christ has 〔given〕
Then Paul knew what Christ had given. To put it simply: Acts 19:8. Paul “spoke boldly about the kingdom of God.” This is important. Christ explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days. He carried this.
1. The seven bartizans (Platform)
Simply put, the bartizans Christ gave. This became a firm platform.
2. The seven journeys (Watchtower)
With this, he went on the journeys Christ gave. This shines light and saves others. A watchtower.
3. The seven guideposts (Antenna)
And here and there he erected the guideposts Christ promised. This is called the antenna.
We must make our remnants discover what God has given and go forth by the strength God gives.
3. Those who have 〔seen in advance〕 evangelism and missions
1. Prayer 300% (Transcending time and space)
We must teach remnants “Prayer 300%.” What is Prayer 300%? You must gain strength every day. You must check every hour. You must make every matter 300%. It is unstoppable. At that time, things happen. If you understand Prayer 300%, you understand what “transcending time and space” means. Right? Prayer transcends time and space. If your family is overseas, it connects when you pray.
2. Work 300% (237–5000)
For the remnants’ studies—once their talent has been discovered—you must make that work 300%. How do you make it 300%? Professionalism 100%. But no matter how much professionalism you have, if it doesn’t match the field, it’s no good, right? Field-orientation 100%. It must match the future. Futurity 100%. That is the 300%. If you do this, you will see something. You will be connected to the 237 nations and the 5000 people groups. Without fail. Going forward, your work will not survive otherwise. In the remnant era, the AI era will come even bigger, right? If it is not connected to this (237–5000), you will not survive. You must remember this.
3. Evangelism and missions 300% (Unprecedented and unrepeatable)
And what is it? Evangelism—see it in advance. Seeing evangelism and missions in advance is called 300%. You must see it in advance. Otherwise it is difficult. What does it mean to see evangelism and missions in advance? You are people of the Holy Spirit. Satan cannot rule you. Therefore, being completely led by the Holy Spirit is called the first camp. Then, when you go and only pray, the darkness collapses—the second camp, the work of the Holy Spirit. While praying, the future becomes clear and a system is formed—the third camp. You go forth with this. These are the answers that come. There are unprecedented and unrepeatable answers given only to you. No one can take them away. This is how we send out the remnants.
The very beginning is to truly realize talent and truly engage in prayer. Because we were born carrying Genesis 3, we cannot pray. A re-created spirit that can pray must be formed. Right? We cannot pray. Didn’t I tell our elders this morning? Elders must have a personal evangelism for life. And they must have a personal prayer that truly gains strength and moves them. Right? Why? Because it is prepared. You only have to find it. Because it exists. God has prepared this blessing for the remnants. God chose and called them. A chosen instrument. Therefore Christ said directly, “Nothing else will do. ‘But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…’” We must build a school and a church where such blessings arise. In fact, we refrain for fear of becoming idolatrous, but false religions have made things visibly tangible. That is where the deception occurred. Then what should we do? We must have materials. We must set things up everywhere so that people can see what is important and understand. Visibly, here and there, we must make them beautifully. At times like today, we must also have places for prayer. We must be able to gather and pray. How good is it here? We must also make spaces where one can rest alone—so they can rest and pray.
▣ Conclusion
Going forward, among many of the next generation, depression will arise. Mental illness. It will increase. Unable to endure, they turn to drugs, suicide. This year in Korea, the suicide rate is number one. And when they kill themselves, they die. Then, in a sense, that’s the end—since they died. But some survive. Then they become disabled in a terrible way. Then they are carried to the emergency room. Of those carried to the ER after a suicide attempt, 87% are adolescents. The statistics are out. If it’s 87%, isn’t that almost all?
1. Opportunity
Let meeting you become their opportunity. Our remnants cannot hear this elsewhere. It is their first opportunity. It is their last opportunity. Make this into an eternal opportunity.
2. WIOS
Now, there are those with no talent, right? Those who cannot study, whose circumstances are poor—there are such people. What should we do for such people? We must help them. That is this (WIOS). We build a system of WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness. Why do you think God called you? You yourself know how excellent you are or not, right? Then why did He call you? You must ask. Why did God bring the multiethnic to our church? Many church leaders, having suffered difficulties and stumbled, come to our church. Why did they come? You must ask. Why did God send them? Give a clear mission there. They already feel ashamed, yet we put them through “new family” education. Are they really new? The person is an original early-days Darakbang member—a seasoned family—and yet we put them through new family education. We must not keep choosing to do what doesn’t work. We must do what works. How hard that must be. They are here, and no one recognizes them—not that they are seeking recognition, but it’s strange. At that time, you must give them a clear mission. As for remnants who seem unable to do anything—do they truly seem unable? No. It is that they must now establish the system of WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness.
3. Spiritual problems
There may be remnants with spiritual problems. That is an opportunity, right? What do we do then? Jesus said. This must be done differently. Only. What does that mean?
1. Limited concentration
There is only one way to heal this remnant: limited concentration. If spiritual problems are healed, they become power. Limited concentration.
2. Selected concentration
What others give won’t work. The selected concentration that Christ gives.
3. Oneness concentration
By doing just this one, everything is resolved. Oneness concentration. Apply it. There is no other way. Since the Gospel has finished everything, nothing else is needed.
4. Fundamental healing
There may be remnants with physical illnesses. We must teach them. Fundamental healing. The root must be healed.
5. Fundamental strength
And we must cultivate fundamental strength. Words like “it works/it doesn’t work” are nonsensical words now. We must cultivate fundamental strength. Does it look like you cannot do it now? No. We must tell the remnants clearly. It’s not that you cannot. It is that you are to take this (WIOS). God threw Joseph into a place where there was absolutely no one in order to give him this (WIOS). If you look closely, all the remnants went through this.
Is what I’m saying—this preparation—difficult? This is far easier. “When I came to this church, there was something there.” Children must feel this. Even a little, and change will occur. In the past, in my case, the conditions were not there, and I had no ability. Even so, when I did a little of this (Introduction), works arose.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that the greatest camp in your life will begin. Let us pray.
Prayer. We sincerely thank You, God. Grant us true grace and strength. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
