237 Missions Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8
Today, we must truly understand the secret of world missions. Since most people do not know, it is called a “secret.”
[Best effort, be the best, victory – illness]
Up until now, you were probably taught, “Do your best.” That’s a good saying. You may also have been taught, “Be the best.” And you may have learned, “Fight to win.” So most people live this way. Even the books out there say the same. Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince is about how to win. The Art of War by Sun Tzu is about how to kill the opponent and win. That’s what schools teach. Another is how to deceive others well and take advantage—Han Feizi’s theory.
As a result, disease remains. That is why people get sick. Many who get cancer are those who have endured much, kind people, intelligent people. Those who speak recklessly and say whatever they want often don’t get it. Those with poor intellect often don’t. It’s the ones who have suffered much who do. We shouldn’t just joke about this; we must seriously ask—can this approach accomplish world missions? Even if you succeed with your best effort, world missions will still be impossible.
[Matthew 11:28, Matthew 4:19, Mark 3:13–15, John 16:33, Acts 1:8]
Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened.” He literally said, “Come with your burdens.” “I will give you rest.” “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” This is completely different. Which is correct? What you learned from the world and what Jesus said are completely different. From the moment He called them, He said, “I called you so that you might be with Me, and that I might send you out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.” “I will give you peace. Take heart! I have overcome the world.” He also said, “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
[Philippians 3:1–21]
The Apostle Paul, who realized this, said in Philippians 3, “I consider what I gained and possessed to be shameful, a loss, garbage.” He considered what the world valued to be trash, because “it kept me from knowing the tremendous secret of the gospel.” People boast about what they have done, but Paul said, “I have done nothing. I have accomplished nothing.” He pursued “what Christ Jesus took hold of me for,” and sought “the prize for which God has called me heavenward.” He said, “Our citizenship is in heaven,” not in Rome, even though Roman citizenship was prized. Having nothing is fine—because “He has given the name that brings all things into submission.”
At WRC, I especially thank our ministers and elders for all their effort. Especially for the overseas guests—you served and helped them, and though it was tiring, the reward is great. Now we must take up the mission of the watchman.
▣ Introduction – The watchman
We must confirm what was given at the Remnant Conference—you have been set as watchmen.
-
- Bartizan, journey, guidepost
We must build the bartizan given by the Lord, go on the journey, and set the guidepost. If our remnants do not know this while young, they will struggle their whole lives. - Imprint, root, nature
We must change what has been imprinted, rooted, and formed in our nature. Without this, there is no spiritual healing, and world evangelization is impossible. - Only, uniqueness, re-creation
The method is “only.” You must go with uniqueness, and leave works of re-creation. Without this blessing, remnants will spend their lives worrying about money until they die. I lived that way before knowing the gospel—always worried about food and my children’s studies. But once I received the answer of only, uniqueness, and re-creation, God used me to save many. - The remaining ones, pilgrims, conquerors
We are remaining ones, called to walk the pilgrim’s path, and to be conquerors to block the darkness. - Start, process, end
The start is only, the process is the pilgrim’s path, and the end is becoming a conqueror. - 24, 25, eternity
These are the times of prayer—24, the 25th hour, and eternity. - Those who guard, inform, and save
The watchman guards, informs so that others will not fall into danger, and if they do, goes to save them.
- Bartizan, journey, guidepost
If you do not know this, you will spend your life serving the world instead of God.
▣ Main
-
- The bartizan of only (discovery)
In fulfilling the 237 world evangelization, you must build the bartizan of only. This is discovery. - The journey of uniqueness (pre-ownership)
Go on the journey of uniqueness. This is not just discovery—it is pre-ownership. - The guidepost of re-creation (challenge)
Challenge the guidepost of re-creation.
- The bartizan of only (discovery)
Only then can you do world missions. Important nations have opened this year, and next year more will open, with many talents coming.
1) The bartizan of only (discovery)
Make yourself 300%. Without it, you cannot evangelize the world. Acts 1:1 – Only Christ. Acts 1:3 – Only the kingdom of God. Acts 1:8 – Only the Holy Spirit.
2) The journey of uniqueness (pre-ownership)
Enjoy 300% of the field. Example: Acts 13:1–4 – be led entirely by the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:5–11 – heal the Nephilim by the Holy Spirit’s work. Acts 13:12 – the proconsul became a disciple.
3) The guidepost of re-creation (challenge)
This is the 300% future—seeing the 237 nations, the 5000 tribes, and matching the path of TCK, CCK, and NCK.
▣ Conclusion
If you hold to this covenant, you will see:
-
- John 19:30 – Calvary’s covenant solving past, present, and future.
- Acts 1:3 – the things of the kingdom of God.
- Acts 2:1–13 – the five flows from Mark’s upper room.
- Acts 11:19 – the scattered ones gathered in Antioch.
- Acts 13:1 – the first missionary sending.
- Acts 16:6–10 – from Troas to Macedonia.
- Acts 19:21 – “I must see Rome also.”
The true answer is the fulfillment of the Word and the rise of the life movement and evangelism movement. Your studies, work, and life must be used for world evangelization and saving those trapped in darkness.
Once again, I thank our elders and ministers for their faithful service. Many received grace and left blessed.
Prayer. Thank You, Lord, for receiving our worship and praise. Let us see what You desire. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
