Unfair and False Accusation is God’s Start That Will Change the World

▣ Introduction_ The Strength and Secret Joseph Possessed

※ Message for Multi-ethnics to Grasp – Spiritual Summit

Many multi-ethnic people are currently coming to our church. The message you must grasp is that although Joseph went as a slave, he went as a spiritual summit. You must remember this.

※ Message for those whose work is not going well – 300% completion at the lowest place

Also, there may be those who feel, “My work is not going well.” We are looking at Joseph now. Like Joseph, it is to complete things to 300% at the very lowest place.

Also, there may be those who say, “Prayer does not work well for me.” You must find the answer in today’s text.

※ Politicians – Having a message to save the region and the nation (Gal 3:28) is the priority

Today, four of our politicians, who are of great help and importance to us, have come. It would be good if you possessed a certain message that moves the age like Lincoln did. Lincoln grasped Galatians 3:28. He said, “There is neither free nor slave, neither Gentile nor Greek, for you are all one in Christ.” That is why he advocated for the liberation of Black people. He ran into much opposition, but he changed the age. Having a message to save our region, save Busan, and save Korea is the very first priority.

Also, among you, there may be many people who say, “I have suffered such an unfair thing that it has become a very great scar.” We must learn through Joseph today. Therefore, today’s title is: An unfair false accusation is the time schedule to change the world.

This Joseph suffered many unfair things. As for his great scar, his mother died while giving birth to his younger brother Benjamin when Joseph was young. Therefore, he received a lot of scars from his half-brothers. Joseph was a person of prayer. So, when he spoke about his future dreams, his brothers tried to kill him. While they were actually trying to kill him, one of the brothers said, “Let’s not kill him, let’s sell him.” That’s how it happened. They sold him to merchants who take people as slaves and sell them.

Because of this, he was dragged away for several months. What an appalling thing. It was an unfair thing. When going, they don’t even let a slave sleep comfortably. A slave cannot wash their face or bathe as they please. They are just dragged away. When placed in the slave market on the market floor, someone buys them. But surprisingly, he is sold to Potiphar’s house. God’s works began to occur in Potiphar’s house. Joseph is a person of prayer. He is a person who knows the Gospel. He also knows that he came because of world evangelization. God even poured blessings upon the fields of Potiphar’s house.

However, Potiphar’s wife repeatedly tried to tempt him, and because he did not accept it, she framed Joseph and sent him to prison. Because he committed such a criminal act against an important person, he received a heavy sentence and was placed in a situation where he could perhaps even receive the death penalty. Now, where could there be such an unfair thing? Yet Potiphar also listened to his wife’s words and put Joseph in prison. But even though he went to prison, amazing works began to happen there as well. So, he interpreted a dream for an official, and after hearing Joseph’s interpretation, this official was released. Despite this, the official betrayed Joseph again. We only read verse 23 just now, but it says he “completely forgot Joseph.” For nearly over ten years, there was no one to help Joseph. For you to have suffered such an unfair thing and have no one to help you—that is a truly daunting thing. Many colleagues or people probably said, “That Joseph is ruined.” Also, in Potiphar’s household, there are soldiers and many people. In our terms, there are many employees. These people knew Joseph was an amazing figure, but then they all misunderstood him, thinking, “He’s a truly strange person.” Since the law mostly follows public opinion, Joseph, who was swayed by public opinion, became a state of being completely collapsed. Joseph did not waver at all. Right?

One day, the time schedule came. The King had a dream, but there was no one to interpret it. Because he was so troubled and a severe thing happened, only then did the official remember. He remembered Joseph, who had interpreted his own dream. This is how history begins to be overturned. Joseph suffered so many, many unfair things. His characteristic was that he absolutely did not waver.

He possessed a few secrets that must be known in the introduction. He possessed that strength.

1. Spiritual Summit – Joseph, who possessed the absolute bartizan called spiritual strength

   Even though Joseph was young, he was a spiritual summit. He possessed an absolute bartizan. This is important. He possessed a spiritual strength more powerful than a King. That is the absolute bartizan, and you must possess it today. You must have spiritual strength that is invisible. Without that, you cannot endure many difficulties.

2. Joseph, who knew that God’s covenant and God’s power to rule through WIO (With, Immanuel, Oneness) absolutely do not change

   And Joseph knew that the covenant of God he possessed absolutely does not change. It doesn’t change. He knew that God’s power to rule everything through Being With me and through Immanuel does not change either.

3. Joseph, who knew it was a process – A process that is neither success nor failure

   What else did he know? He knew this was one process. Winning is not success. Saying I lost is not failure. it is a process. Joseph’s brothers sold Joseph; did they win? Joseph was dragged away as a slave; did he lose? No. Potiphar’s wife tried to do a bad thing and then framed Joseph and put him in prison. Did she win? Because there was no one to help him, Joseph went to prison. Did he lose? No. It is a process. Joseph knew this very well.

4. Joseph, who knew the ministry of world evangelization remained

   And Joseph had remaining ministry. It is certain. Right? The certain ministry of world evangelization, where the sun, moon, and stars bow, remains.

※ God desires to give the best things. If you are framed even though you have no fault, there is a special plan of God. God’s time schedule to change the world is contained within it.

Through all things, God is one who desires to give good things to you, and even to non-believers. God who desires to give the best things. Therefore, regarding this unfair false accusation—if I have a fault, I can just realize it—but realizing it without fault means there is a special plan of God. God’s time schedule to change the world is contained within it. You usually receive a scar when you suffer an unfair thing, don’t you? No. You must remember this.

▣ Main_ Joseph’s Prayer – Prayer That Is Certainly Answered

So, what should people who say, “Prayer does not work well,” do? Well, we must pray like Joseph; what is prayer that is certainly answered?

1. Establish an absolute bartizan in everything.

   First. You must remember three things. First. I will give a historical example to help your understanding.

   There was a woman whose family had many spiritual problems, and mental illness came to her. There was no one to help her. In the past, a singer named Kim Kwang-seok in Daegu committed suicide. People were shocked and surprised and said many things, but that person was someone who originally suffered mentally. But for this person who was suffering, there was no one to help her. However, one teacher helped her until the end. While everyone else gave up on her, this person followed and helped until the end. Then one day, healing occurred for this person. After healing occurred, she made a resolution. “I must remain in this hospital and help heal others. I must work here as an employee. Since I am healed, I must dedicate myself and serve.” So she cured many people with illnesses. One of those people produced a famous person named Helen Keller.

   What is it? It is the first point of Joseph’s prayer. Make everything become an absolute bartizan. This is the first secret of prayer. Make an absolute bartizan. Do not be discouraged, waver, or judge this way and that, but grasp God’s covenant and make an absolute bartizan.

1)Being expelled by brothers – God making him leave home

It looks like Joseph was expelled by his brothers, but it isn’t. God made Joseph leave home. Right? It wouldn’t work in that house. He made him leave.

2)Slave – The beginning of success

Joseph was now dragged away as a slave. That was the only path. Why? To go as a slave meant he just went without needing a visa. He was just dragged away. That was exactly the beginning of success. Right? Make an absolute bartizan. That is the first prayer.

3)Prison – The beginning of advancement

He went to prison under a false accusation. What is it? Look accurately. Advancement began for Joseph. He couldn’t advance from Potiphar’s house. Right? You must think accurately. He couldn’t do world evangelization while staying with his brothers. If he got along well with Potiphar’s wife, he might eat well. Then he would die there. He was sent to prison, but an amazing thing happens there. Right? Because works occurred even in prison, he was made the manager in prison. It is the beginning of advancement. Therefore, make an absolute bartizan in everything you face. That is the prayer that is certainly answered. It’s not that you “receive” an answer; you certainly receive it.

Because of three problems when I was young, I am receiving answers until now. Until now. When I was young. When I was in 6th grade, my father passed away from an illness, but I did not cry. However, I engraved it in my heart. Ah, one must not live sick like that. Many adults worried most about money. I thought one must not do that. Right? Many church members cannot evangelize in the church and only speak human words. I thought that wouldn’t do. So I received all three answers. I am receiving them even now. Establish an absolute bartizan in everything. That is what Joseph did.

2. Create an absolute journey on every path.

   Second. I will give an example for this as well to help your understanding. The previous point was establishing an absolute bartizan. What would the second be?

   As you know, a man named John Bunyan was sentenced to 16 years in prison even though he did nothing wrong. Like many people, he might have struggled there, become discouraged, or tried to escape. But this John Bunyan made a decision for the ages. He produced a masterpiece that no one else in the world could emulate. That is The Pilgrim’s Progress.

   What would the second secret of prayer be? Create an absolute journey on every path. Then it will work.

1)The path going as a slave – The path going to Egypt where the 237, 5,000 tribes, and TCKs are

Joseph is not going as a slave. It is the path going to Egypt. it is an absolute journey, right? He must go there for the 237 nations, 5,000 tribes, and TCKs to be there.

2)Slave at Potiphar’s house – The path to learning economy and management

Joseph going as a slave to Potiphar’s house is the path to learning economy and management.

3)Prison – The path going to learn politics

Joseph going to prison, of all places he went, was where politicians gathered. It is the path going to learn politics. This exactly became the path. The absolute journey.

3. Set an absolute guidepost in every place.

Third. There are not many people who ask me such questions. But for the people who do ask me, something unforgettable always comes out.

When I went to Wall Street in America, I thought, “Wow.” Truly the businesspeople who move the entire world are all gathered there. There is actually no time to eat. So a friend named Eddie asked me, “Pastor, we don’t even have time to eat. I bought a house but I can’t even go there. In times like this, how should I do evangelism?” “Make an evangelism tract that can be seen in the restroom.” That’s what I said. That friend actually made it. And the friend named Eddie asked me, “I need to make money and do evangelism; what kind of evangelism would be best to do?” he asked. I told him directly. “There are only two places for doing disciple training. One place in Korea and one place in America is enough. At Immanuel Church in Korea, establish a Three Courtyards Memorial Hall in your name. We will train people here. America is the place for dispatching to the 237 and 5,000 tribes. Just make one place in New York.” This friend truly made a pledge for his offering and is a person whose prayer can be fulfilled. And looking afterward, his company did better and better, rumors spread in Korea, and he became recognized even in Korea.

What is it? Set an absolute guidepost in every place. That is the properly done prayer that receives answers.

It will be in everything, won’t it? In every work. Establish an absolute bartizan there. We walk every path. Establish an absolute journey. No matter where you go, establish an absolute guidepost. What does that mean?

1)Jehovah was with Joseph, Joseph who became the manager of Potiphar’s house, Potiphar’s house which was blessed (Gen 39:2-6)

In Genesis 39:2, “Because the Lord was with Joseph, he became a prosperous man.” This is the guidepost. Right? So Potiphar saw and said, “Hey, you’re not a slave. You be the household manager. Do all this as you please.” Now, it became like this. What does the Bible record? “From that day on, the Lord poured blessings even onto the fields of Potiphar’s house for the sake of Joseph.” That is the guidepost. Right? That is the absolute guidepost.

2)Joseph who became the manager in prison (Gen 39:19-23)

Whether he was framed or not, he went to prison, and even after going to prison, he became the manager.

3)Joseph who interpreted the King’s dream, one moved by the Spirit of Jehovah, Egypt which was blessed as Joseph became the Governor (Gen 41:1-45)

Finally, he meets the King. Because he has to interpret the dream. The King said this: “This is the first time I have seen such a wonderful person so moved by the Spirit of Jehovah among the people I have seen so far. How about making him the Governor?” He recommended him. And while recommending him as Governor, he said this: “Do all of Egypt as you please. Do everything according to your will. There is only one thing in which I am higher. I just sit on the throne.” From then on, blessings began to be poured upon this Egypt.

4)Joseph who confessed that God sent me ahead to save lives (Gen 45:5)

Finally, he became the Governor. So he is selling rice to the entire world. His brothers came. To buy rice. The brothers who sold Joseph came. Since he was wearing such grand clothes and had become the Governor, they didn’t know it was Joseph. Later, when Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, they wailed and it was a scene. This is what he said then. It was not you brothers who sold me. God sent me ahead to save lives. That is the guidepost. Right? He left behind an absolute guidepost.

5)God who repaid with good, Joseph who said he would take responsibility for the brothers and posterity until the end (Gen 50:18-21)

Later Jacob dies. Joseph wailed loudly. Now, the brothers’ worry began. “That Governor Joseph is putting up with us because of our father. Father has passed away, and that Governor’s weeping is no ordinary weeping.” It became like that. So now the brothers were trembling, and looking at what they said in Genesis 50:18, they did this. “We are your servants.” The brothers said to Joseph, “We are your servants. Please have mercy on us. Please forgive us.” At that time, in verse 19, Joseph said this. “Do not be afraid. Can I take the place of God?” And in verse 20, he said an important thing. “As for you, brothers,” now he finally speaks about it. “Brothers, you intended to harm me. But God repaid me with good. I will take responsibility for the brothers and the posterity until the end.” This too. It is a guidepost. Joseph produced immense guideposts. We must enjoy well the conditions that allow us to receive prayer answers. Isn’t that right?

▣ Conclusion_ Decision

Now, holding onto today’s Word, you must make a decision. Like Joseph.

1. The sun, moon, and stars bowing – Your industry must align with world evangelization.

   What does it mean that the sun, moon, and stars bowed? Your industry, your academic studies, and your business must align with world evangelization. Right? In the future, only that will survive. In the future, robots will do all the work, and if you do not align with world evangelization and the 237 and 5,000 tribes now, you cannot be used. You must hold onto this decision and make it.

2. I will make an absolute bartizan, absolute journey, and absolute guidepost like Joseph.

   Like Joseph, I must now make an absolute bartizan, absolute journey, and guidepost. I must see how Joseph made them. You must make a decision.

   Our children went to Singapore this time, and in Singapore, there are Wee Shin Tan and Lillian Ang. This couple, those people are talents who do music. I am embarrassed to the point of being sorry, thankful. They sold their house, moved to a smaller place, and gave an offering to our church. I was embarrassed. Such people do not emerge in Korea. I was embarrassed. In Korea, the home church is building, and they thought they must give an offering, so it wouldn’t work without selling their house. They sold it and gave. I felt embarrassed, thankful, sorry, and grateful. So, that’s how important this decision is. They made an important decision in their lives.

   When I started last time, I said this. “Do I need to have a golf membership? Do I need to have something important like that?” It’s not necessary. I sold all that and gave the offering. I’m thinking about what decision to make now. I’m thinking that for the first time in my life, I should take out a loan. Decision is important. Right?

3. Joseph’s final decision, which was the same as the beginning – World evangelization (Gen 50:18-21)

   Joseph’s decisions were all exactly the same. What was the decision he made at the beginning, enough to be beaten to death by his brothers? It was world evangelization. The brothers only knew about eating and didn’t know anything else, so they were jealous. He spoke that unchanging message to his brothers at the end. “Brothers, you intended to harm me, but” what did he say before that? Looking at the younger brother. “We are your servants.” What is that? That is the story Joseph had dreamed. That. Joseph says, “Brothers, you intended to harm me, but God repaid me with good.”

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes a day of holding onto the important covenant all day long. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let the living Word of God be fulfilled in us, let true prayer be answered, and let true evangelism and missions arise. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
