25 Hour Answer of Summit Gospelization (Genesis 41:38-43) 3/12/2023
Going beyond what we saw about family gospelization and field gospelization through Joseph, this week we will talk about the answer of “summit gospelization” that saves nations and kings.
We must first ask two fundamental questions.
First, what kind of background and support were necessary for such blessings to be possible for Joseph? Being used at an important position (summit) is not something simple or easy. Generally, it is a genetic factor or parental support and background that allows children to grow up that way (silver spoon). Joseph did not have anything like that.
Second, what was the significance of the blessing of the summit that Joseph enjoyed? In the world, people think that we must be diligent to be successful. Thus, parents and children alike receive tremendous stress. When others sleep, they must be awake, attend better schools, and even internships must be from elite places. Joseph did not have anything like that. Joseph’s internship was his time of slavery at Potiphar’s house, and in prison where he helped the prison guard. God raised that Joseph up to be the summit that saved the superpower nation Egypt, and from there, all nations and peoples.
We use the word “gospelization” to signify that God made this happen, and we use the term “25 Hour Answer” to signify that this was a blessing that transcended human standards, environment, and reality. Joseph becomes a very important model for us.
- The three basics that Joseph had. We must train to build up our basics before we are placed and used at an important position.
1) The basics concerning Joseph’s thoughts and emotions. This is called character. It is known that 85% of human brain function that controls thoughts and emotions are formed before the age of 3. This is why many people train for mind control, concentration, and meditation.
① Joseph could have been caught up on many scars, but he was not. He could have been traumatized by the fact that his mother died when he was young, and he was sold as a slave by his brothers. Those things make hidden hatred, anger, competitive mindset, and despair take root inside. Many addictions stem from this (addiction to success).
② Wherever he went, Joseph thought about saving people and saving the field. He saved others even when he was a slave, and he didn’t retaliate against Potiphar’s wife when he was wrongfully sent to prison. He didn’t ruin his own life with anger towards those people. He saved and blessed whoever he met.
③ All thoughts and emotions are controlled by the brain. We must make our brain healthy and active. Biologically, we must sleep, eat healthy foods, and provide oxygen to our bodies by exercising and breathing. In addition, we must always think in terms of the gospel, think positively and hopefully. The brain will choose to do whatever it is more accustomed to. If we are constantly depressed, in despair, or filled with hatred, those things will continue to happen. That becomes your spiritual flow (Job 3:25). Our thoughts are the channels by which God answers. Our thoughts are our character, and moreover, our prayers (Psalm 19:14, Ephesians 3:20, Philippians 4:6-7).
2) The basics concerning Joseph’s skill. This is called specialty.
① Skill does not mean being better at something compared to someone else. The true meaning of skill is your own talents, and your own power to accomplish things (metacognition).
② Joseph found God’s will in his given tasks, found happiness, and became the summit at that place (meaning of occupation). Even David enjoyed this blessing and developed his skill while he tended his father’s sheep (Psalm 78:70-72).
3) Joseph’s spiritual basics. This is called spirituality.
① Spiritual things are unseen to the eye, but it is a power that moves the world (Hebrews 11:3). Even unbelievers know that there is something beyond the visible world. That is why they do chi movement and meditation movements to receive transcendental power. In reality, that is the power of demons. It says that those who have that power will move the world (Ephesians 6:12).
② Joseph was able to deeply enjoy God amidst his suffering, and enjoyed the power that transcended that power. When the king, who had all the authority, was suffering from a dream that he could not understand, he called all religious leaders and shamans but none of them could give him the answer. Joseph said God will give him the answer. And through Joseph, the king was able to see God’s power and wisdom. If we have spiritual power within us, people will come to us, and they will be able to receive the answer (1Samuel 3:19).
- How can we enjoy the blessings that Joseph enjoyed, stand as the summit to save this age covered in darkness, and raise up those who will?
Three systems must be established in our lives throughout our entire lifetime. We are talking about the state in which we do not shake and are imprinted, rooted, and natured.
1) The covenantal system in us. We must make our thoughts, judgments, and emotions must move according to this system. In other words, the standard of all our thoughts, judgments, and emotions must be the covenant. God has given us His love for this world, His plan, His power, and His mission as a covenant to us.
① The 7 great journeys encapsulate the covenant that God gave us that we must hold onto. Within that, we must view our lives, think, judge, feel, and challenge (covenant journey). The Triune God that chose you and saved you, the 5 assurances, the 10 platforms, the summit’s 10 standards of judgment, the eyes to see the 9 flows, the 62 life of the evangelist, and lastly, the church that saves you and blesses you.
② Then, there is a covenant that tells us that however lacking, God will raise us up as the summit that will save our fields and the age. To Abraham who had nothing, God said he will “make a great nation through you” (Genesis 12:2). To the people who became captive, He said, “the least of you will make a thousand, the smallest of you a great nation” (Isaiah 60:22). To the ones scattered by persecution, He said, “you will be the witnesses to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). All of this is the covenant of the summit.
2) The spiritual system in us. We must have a system inside us where the Holy Spirit and the blessing of the throne has no choice but to work in us. This is the “blessing of the watchtower.” Every day, even for a short time, we must have a personal time with God, summit time, and a time of concentration. Even if we do something small, if the Holy Spirit works, it becomes God’s masterpiece. Even if we fail, it turns into historical masterpiece (Confession of Edison).
3) The mission system in us. Hold onto the reason we must live, the reason we must receive answers, and and the reason we must enjoy the blessing of the throne.
① In this world full of darkness, we are here to reveal the glory of God and stand has the summit to save the world. When David stood before Goliath, he said, “Can’t I even speak?” (1 Samuel 17:29).
② Even if you do something small, make a resolution before God and do it (Daniel 1:8). You may even stake your life for it (Esther 4:16). There is no need to do it as you judge others. It will become a covenantal contract between you and God.
Conclusion – Joseph was not obsessed with success for the sake of success, and he did not struggle for it. Through many hardships, he was able to build his basics. With purpose, he. Made three summit systems within him. May we, all our posterity, and our church be within this answer.
