Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3
▣ Introduction
Thank you. In 1988, when I began my work, I realized two things here. If this Yeongdo coastline is developed well, it can become one of the best cities in the world. If you go to the Thames River in England, there is honestly not much to see, yet crowds still gather there. So I thought, “Ah, Yeongdo can truly become a top city.” And because I knew what needed to be done, I went around looking for a large piece of land. I found one very good land, but they said it was not for sale. When I asked why, they said the Yeongdo District Office would be built there. Now it is built. In my view, that is the best location. The second land I found is this land. So, I believe construction will finally begin this year. This land contains long prayers. It will become the best sanctuary. I sincerely bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that you receive great strength in prayer this year.
Since it is also the beginning of the year, District Chief Kim Gi-jae attended our worship today. I bless him in the name of Jesus Christ that the blessing of the throne that God gives will be upon him. I pray he will become a district chief who truly makes Yeongdo the best city. If it were me, I would develop the entire coastline into parks so that people from the world would come. The conditions are so good. The work of world evangelization in Yeongdo is already going alluch as far as the 5,000 tribes.
Today you must receive one important answer and go back with it. In a short Bible passage, God gave Abraham five blessings. You must know the reason. Receiving blessings is important, but knowing the reason is even more important.
There is one thing that the advanced nations—the United States, Europe, and Japan—never talk about. They cannot talk about it. They absolutely never mention it. Even though there are many problems, they never speak. Because I know this, that is why I go there to do that work. Do you know what it is? In the advanced nations—America, Japan, and Europe—there are countless people with mental disorders. Their leaders never talk about it. In some houses, everyone in the household has mental illness. There are many such homes in Japan, Europe, and America. But amazingly, the reason and the answer are in the Bible. Abraham knew that. Before he knew it, he wavered. After he knew it, he became the forefather of faith.
When I saw this in the Bible, I came to this area. There was no land at all. Since it seemed impossible, I tried to buy the Taejongdae Hotel, but it turned out to be a place with many issues, so I could not. Then I found this place, like a factory area.
What on earth is the problem? You must know this. Why are sick people rising all over the world? Why are shootings and explosions happening here and there? Abraham knew that. From that point, history began to move.
1. Three incidents that are still happening exactly the same today
Before asking what blessings we will receive, there are three reasons. There are three incidents still happening exactly the same today. They are still happening now. Even the words are the same. I was shocked again and again.
1) The incident of Eden – “Don’t believe God. You will become like God” (New Age movement)
The first of the three incidents is the incident of Eden. What did it say? “Don’t believe God. You will become like God.” You know what the New Age movement in America is, right? “You will become like God.” It is the same. “You will become Buddha.” It is the same. “Find the king within you.” It sounds like a good phrase, but this is the New Age movement in America.
2) The Flood of Noah – demon-possessed warriors (spiritism of Freemasonry)
The second incident is the Flood of Noah. At that time, great satanic forces and demon-possessed warriors began to rise. It is the same today. Freemasonry that moves many leaders in America—do you know it? It is a spiritism movement, even now.
3) The Tower of Babel – a rebellion against God that collapsed
The third incident is the Tower of Babel. “Let us challenge God,” so they built it up, and it collapsed.
These three incidents continue even now. Even now. “We don’t need God. I must build my power. Let’s unite.” It is the same. “Problems? We don’t need God.” It is the same.
2. The age of Nephilim
Because of this, what came next? The full age of Nephilim arrived.
1) Nephilim – people empowered by a fallen entity from above
You know the word Nephilim, right? It refers to people empowered by something that “fell” from above.
2) Shamans, Freemasonry, gut rituals, superstition
In Korea, it is shamans. In America, Freemasons gather and do it daily. In underdeveloped nations, they do gut rituals and superstition. It is all the same. That is how the age of Nephilim came.
3) Nephilim disease
People truly do not know. “Why did that famous singer commit suicide?” They do not know because they do not know Nephilim. They cannot endure—something has entered. And then it goes to the children. Why do people commit suicide in the military? It is nonsense. Nephilim. People feel offended, but it is true. When someone with spiritual problems goes to drugs in America, they cannot quit. Because of these three incidents, the age of Nephilim came. It is the same even now.
3. The age of disasters
Then at the end, what came? The age of disasters came.
1) “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house” – come out of the origin of curses and the destiny of disasters
God told Abraham: “You must come out of there.” Come out of the origin of curses. Come out of the destiny that will receive disasters.
2) “Go to the land I will show you… all nations will be blessed through you” – go to save the nations
And go to save all nations. “I will be with you.”
3) With the power of the throne, power that transcends time and space, and unprecedented power
“I will give you power. I will be with you by the power of the throne. I will be with you with power that transcends time and space. I will be with you with unprecedented power.” I truly believe this. That is why I entered Yeongdo. Now people are evangelizing across the world.
Today you must hold the covenant. God told Abraham to go out. “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house” does not mean simply moving houses. It means leave the origin of disaster and curses—the place where disaster will come. “Go to the land I will show you.” “All nations will be blessed through you.” Tell the nations.
When COVID spread in Korea, advanced nations developed the medicine, right? They must sell it to the world or give it—otherwise everyone would die from COVID. If they hoarded it, that would be disaster.
This life-healing medicine was given to Abraham.
When pain, suffering, and disasters cover people, we must not keep our mouths shut. This tremendous medicine that heals life was given to Abraham. You must be able to see this. No success can solve this problem. Nephilim rises and mental illness fills the nations, yet advanced countries cannot solve it. That is why you often see it among entertainers, people in special occupations, and people with “spiritual sensitivity.” As it becomes disease, there is no way to live. You must know. “Come out of there and quickly go to save the world.” You must obtain that answer today.
The Bible’s answer
That is why the answer is in the Bible.
1. Because of original sin—leaving God—Nephilim disasters came.
2. The solution is Christ.
The Old Testament says, “I will send Christ.” The New Testament says, “Christ has come.”
(1) The King who broke the power of Satan
(2) The true Priest who removes all curses
(3) The true Prophet who opens the way to meet God
The word combining all of these is “Christ.” It is tremendous. Today you must truly realize it.
3. That is why we evangelize.
“Oh, so that is why we evangelize.” You must realize it. “To grow the church”? That is not it. We must proclaim the gospel.
▣ Main Five blessings
Once Abraham realized, five blessings came.
1. Covenantal blessing – “Go to the land I will show you.”
First: go to the land I will show you. The covenantal blessing. What covenant?
1. Genesis 3:15 – the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.
2. Genesis 6:14 – if you enter the ark, you live.
3. Exodus 3:18 – go offer a blood sacrifice.
4. Isaiah 7:14 – a virgin will conceive and bear a son; his name will be Immanuel.
Go to the place where that covenant will be fulfilled.
Go to where that covenant will be fulfilled—the covenant given to your forefathers.
2. Fundamental blessing – “You will be a source of blessing.”
Second: you will be a source of blessing. Fundamental blessing. Why? Because we must do world evangelization and save people.
1. Genesis 1:27 – restore God’s image.
2. Genesis 1:28 – restore the blessing to subdue and rule.
3. Genesis 2:7 – restore the breath of life, that power.
4. Genesis 2:1–18 – restore Eden and the family.
3. Representative blessing – “Through you…”
Third: through you. Representative blessing. This is not strange. You must be blessed to save others. You must have strength to save your neighbor.
Receive the blessing that flowed through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
4. Monumental blessing – “Through your seed…”
Fourth: through your seed. Monumental blessing. God gave Isaac at age 100.
1. Isaac experienced the ram instead of death on Mount Moriah.
2. The blessing of 100 years—one year’s harvest became 100 years’ blessing.
3. The spring source, not just restoring old wells.
4. Rehoboth—victory without fighting, receiving a wide land.
This is a monumental blessing for your posterity.
5. Irresistible blessing – “I will bless those who bless you…”
Fifth: an irresistible blessing. “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.”
Because we must do world evangelization, you will be blessing; you will be the source of blessing.
▣ Conclusion_ Decision
1. Does the covenant not match me?
The covenant God gives must be believed. Abraham initially could not believe. He thought, “It doesn’t seem necessary.” Is it not the same for us? “I’m busy surviving.” “God’s covenant doesn’t match me.” That is exactly the Bible. It looks impossible—yet that is why we must believe.
2. Go all the way down to the bottom and find the answer there.
Do not inflate things. Go down completely to the bottom and find the answer there. The answer is all there.
3. The answer is in what is most impossible.
Where it seems most impossible—that is where the answer is. I found answers through my father’s death, through poverty, through “what didn’t work.” You must find it there. Abraham missed this at first and suffered greatly.
God blessed Abraham with five blessings for that one reason. Hold the covenant and imprint it through all-day prayer. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer. God, we thank You. Let us restore the correct gospel. Let us know the reason. Let this be the day we realize why You blessed Abraham. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
