At a Time of Famine of Hearing God’s Word (Amos 8: 11-13) 9/25/2022
Why are disasters and suffering continuing in the world? The Bible tells us that it is all a result of mankind’s greed, and the work of Satan in the background. This can also be the beginning of God’s judgement upon the world, as well as the fulfillment of his Word. God has warned us through his prophecies (Amos 3:7). The most important warning was that people lack the Word of God in them, and they will begin to thirst and wither (11).
Why are people lacking the Word of God? The Bible exists, but the accurate Word of God within the Bible is not being relayed. The responsibility falls to the pastors, as well as church members. The Bible tells us that in the end times, people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what they want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
The result of this will be the 3 ages. Churches will crumble, the darkness will cover the fields, and our future generations will become destroyed (13). We are within the absolute time schedule of the spiritual platform, watchtower, and antenna that will save the 3 ages. Only we can enjoy this, and we must enjoy this. It is a blessing that we must relay to the future generations of the world and the 237 nations.
- From the Bible, hold onto God’s three absolute covenants. These are the essence and the core of the Bible.
1) It is Christ who came as the absolute answer to all life’s problems (Acts 1:1). All lives that come after Genesis 3 must receive salvation and gain the answer to all life’s problems through Christ.
① That is the reason Christ came down to earth, the reason the Bible records this, and it is the marrow of the covenant (John 5:39, Acts 4:12). We must know how we became set free through the Priest that is Christ in the Bible (Romans 8:1-2, Colossians 1:14). We must experience how we can overcome Satan who works in all our problems through the King that is Christ (1John 3:8). We must hold onto and enjoy the fact that the Prophet that is Christ is the way for all lives prepared by God (John 14:6).
② Hold onto this Christ, gain strength, have victory, and stand as a witness amidst all problems, crises, failures, and pain. The more we confirm this Christ through the Word and get to know him deeper, works like this will arise.
2) It is the Kingdom of God that all people within Christ must hold onto as the mission (Acts 1:3).
① From now on, enjoy the blessing of being the heavenly citizens here on earth (Luke 17:21). It does not matter if you do not come from a good background. God himself on His heavenly throne will be our background (Philippians 3:20). He will mobilize his angels to help us (Hebrew 1:14), and the work of the Holy Spirit will bind all authorities of Satan (Matthew 12:28).
② We are being governed by the heavenly throne (blessing of the throne). That is when transcendental and unprecedented works arise. When and how can we be governed by God? It happens when we hold onto God’s Word as our God-given absolute covenant (Psalm 103:19-21).
③ When we share that Word with others in the field or have forum with others, the Kingdom of God will come upon that place (Mark 16:19-20). The flow of the darkness in the field will crumble, the blessing of the throne will take place, and the Kingdom of God will expand (Genesis 39:5, Acts 8:4-8).
3) God promised us the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) so that we have no choice but to proclaim this blessing to the ends of the earth (237 nations). Whatever we do, if we do it with the heart of evangelism and missions, the work of the Holy Spirit will be more greatly revealed.
- For that purpose, we must make sure the Word of God is continuously within us. When we begin our days, our weeks, our years, and throughout our entire lives, we must have our personal Word and covenant that we hold onto.
1) Cherish the time of listening to the Word above all else (Acts 2:42). When we hear the Word and hold onto it, our souls come alive (Ezekiel 37:9-10). Everything will revolve smoothly, and even our health will be restored (3 John 1:2). When we align ourselves to God within the Word, everything will become our prayer and answer (John 15:7, Ephesians 3:20).
2) We must never lose hold of the pulpit when we come to worship (Ezekiel 47:1-12). Prepare to receive the Word starting Saturday evening. Come early for worship and prepare your hearts in prayer to receive the Word. Work does not come first. If our minds are distracted by our work and we lost hold of the Word, it will surely become a channel for Satan to work (Luke 10:40-42).
3) Hold onto the Word so that it becomes your personal Word. What comes from that is meditation. We must hear the pulpit message as the voice of God speaking to us and find the covenant we hold onto (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Find three things to hold onto and pray in meditation during the week (comfort and strength from the Word, something to renew about yourself, something to challenge towards). If you are in need of important healing, listen to the Word repeatedly. The key to meditating is find a quiet time for yourself and concentrating on the Word. The Word will become imprinted in you, new grace will come upon you, and healing will take place. This is why we memorize important Bible verses.
- Now, we must stand as conquerors of the world and our fields with the Word. First, we must conquer three things. Then we will be able to stand as disciples that conquer the world and save 237 nations.
1) We must conquer our past(problems). Only then will God be able to begin new works (Isaiah 43:18-19).
① The core of our past problems lies on our past scars and our long-imbedded standards and habits that have become our nature. Hold onto the conclusion that Christ has healed the past scars of our hearts and has finished all problems (John 19:30). Christ did not only finish our problems. He has finished the problems of those around us, including the people who you can’t seem to understand.
② Christ will heal your problems throughout your entire life, and all your past problems will become your steppingstone. With this conclusion, hold onto the Word and continue to pray. Your life will become a system of only, uniqueness, and recreation. Joseph, who had a mind full of dark memories, Moses, who had become a murderer, Paul, who heavily persecuted the church, all enjoyed this blessing.
2) We must conquer our Today(current problems). We become deceived by current problems, difficult situations, and things we face today.
① Consider all things as an opportunity to grow deeper with God and practice to see everything as blessings that God has prepared. Hold onto all meetings as blessings and hold onto them as opportunities to widen your vessel.
② You are not alone. The God of the throne is with you now. Hold on the word and pray for him to govern over you. The darkness that tries to deceive you will absolutely be bound, and everything will become evidence.
3) We must conquer our future. The age will become increasingly difficult.
① Advanced science in the 4th industrial revolution seems like it will make everything more convenient, but people and church will crumble. It will be hard to make a living in a world controlled by the top minority. Many mental disorders will hurt people.
② This is why we were raised as evangelists. The end of the world will revolve around the evangelist (Matthew 24:14). Small and lacking people as us will be the spiritual summit that saves the age and the future as God’s masterpieces (Isaiah 60:22).
Conclusion – God has entrusted the Word to us (Romans 3:2). May we hold onto only Christ, the Kingdom of God, and the Word of God that promises the power of the Holy Spirit and enjoy the fulfillment of the Word to save people and the world.
