Eternal Answer of the 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
Concentrate for the Eternal Masterpiece (Acts 1:12-14) 1/14/2024
Last week, we talked about the eternal blessings (inheritance) that we were given the moment we received salvation (eternal life, eternal background and mission, eternal power). If you can make this blessing your own, it will not matter how difficult this world is.
All we need to do is realize and hold onto the fact that the triune God has already given us the eternal inheritance (that is faith). Enjoy the God who gave us that eternal inheritance and the blessing of the throne through prayer. That is the 3,9,3 prayer and the 7 prayer bartizans. Wait until God changes everything we go through (crises, diseases, conflicts, feeling wronged, and failure) into evidence and raises us up as witnesses to the ends of the earth. This time of waiting is the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God will open up doors and paths according to his perfect time schedule.
This is how we experience a life where God makes our everything into his masterpiece (all studies, skills, efforts, devotion). No matter how small it is, if it is left in God’s hands and He blesses it, it will become a masterpiece. Our lives that are lacking, weak, and in failure becomes a life that enjoys God in the deepest way (masterpiece of spiritual summit). We did what was necessary, but that becomes something unique and absolute (masterpiece of specialty, masterpiece of skill summit). It can even change the flow of the age (masterpiece of culture summit). The 7 remnants all enjoyed this blessing (Genesis 39:38-40).
Through such individuals, America was able to save and move the world in the 20th century. In this nation that is driving the 4th industrial revolution, if Satan’s masterpiece continues to be made rather than God’s, then America will become a nation that drives the world into suffering. That is up to us, and we must block it.
To do this, we must experience what true concentration is. The battle in these end times is the battle of concentration. It is a spiritual battle and the battle of the summit, but ultimately, it is a battle of concentration. The 3 organizations behind those who are leading the 4th and 5th industrial revolution are also leading people into the wrong concentration. Even religious organizations are fighting this battle. This is the Nephilim movement of this age. If we cannot correctly realize and enjoy the blessing of concentration, we will face the 3 ages in captivity, slavery, and colonization just like the Israelites in the Old Testament.
- What will we concentrate on? What did the believers of Mark’s Upper Room concentrate on? They concentrated on only Christ, God’s kingdom, and the power of the Holy Spirit. We must focus on the things of God, the things he promised.
1) Concentration on the things of the world that are physical or visible will ultimately pass. One day it will cause you to crumble. Concentrating on physical this is not concentration, but an obsession. If it continues, it becomes addiction, and later, a spiritual problem.
2) True concentration is when four spiritual things become one.
① The triune God (Father God who created us, Christ who redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit that guides us and gives us victory). ② Us, the saved children of God. ③ The things of heaven and the throne, not the things of flesh and earth. ④ When we focus on uniting these three things, God’s works will arise within our time, studies, works, and ministries.
3) If so, then what is the work of God’s kingdom? The Bible talks about at least three things.
① By the work of the Holy Spirit in us, the righteousness, peace, and joy of God will come upon us (Romans 14:17).
② Through that work of the Holy Spirit, darkness in our fields full of darkness, problems, and pain will crumble (Matthew 12:28).
③ People from 237 nations and 5000 people groups will return to the Lord, and people suffering from darkness will be healed (Mark 16:17-20).
- How will we concentrate?
1) We must concentrate on the things that God gave (limited concentration). We are limiting ourselves to concentrate on the things of God. The time that we plan and use are concentrated on the physical things. These things are necessary, but they can become the 12 snares of Satan. We must have a time of listening to the Word and concentrating on the Word. That is when God’s kingdom is established (Psalm 103:20-21).
2) We must concentrate on the things that God has answered (selective concentration). It is prioritization.
① There are things that God has already answered and entrusted to us as blessings. These are the talents, positions, and missions that we have been given. Cherish all these things and concentrate 24 hours in thanksgiving. Small things are not small (lesson from the parable of talents).
② God has permitted us our family, workplace, school, and business (Psalm 16:5-6). Seek out and concentrate on what is rightful and necessary. You will be able to see what you must do, how you can help, and what you can share. Everything you do in the name of Christ will become an absolute masterpiece (Matthew 25:40).
3) Concentrate on the work of saving everything (oneness concentration). This must become our nature to become the disciples that save America and the world. If we are deceived by Satan, we unknowingly become focused on revealing others’ faults, judging and criticizing others that end up killing them.
- What results from this is eternal masterpiece.
It will save people and change the world. God will be pleased, and he will remember it. It will lead to eternal blessings and crown (2Timothy 4:8).
1) Through Peter, who was unlearned and stuck in failure, God saves the crippled beggar in front of the temple Beautiful Gate (Acts 3:1-12). That Peter confidently proclaims at the court that only Christ is our unique way of salvation (Acts 4:12).
2) Paul, who was at the scene where Stephen was stoned to death for evangelizing, rises as an evangelist (Acts 7:1-60). The things that we do right now may seem meaningless when it doesn’t produce immediate results. However, God will make it into an eternal masterpiece. Through that Paul, the gospel spread to Asia, Europe, and Rome (7 guide signs in the book of Acts) and changed the world.
3) That gospel become distorted and created the age of Catholicism and the age of Popes, but God raised up Luther at 27 years old and opened the age of religious reformation. At that time, translation of the Bible and movements to save the church and the posterity began. Many people died, but it all became an eternal masterpiece. In this age, God will use weak and lacking people like us and our church to change America and the world (Our church’s CVDIP). Within that lies all the answers and blessings that we will enjoy individually and as a church. God will make it into a masterpiece.
Conclusion – 1) Enjoy the 3 “only”s (only Christ, only God’s kingdom, only the power of the Holy Spirit) in 24-hour concentration. That is when our studies, work, business, and finance will be raised as a system of recreation. 2) The blessing of the 3 courtyards in Acts 2:9-11. It is the blessing of “you will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary” that we held onto for this year. It is the blessing of Multi-ethnics arising, becoming disciples of healing, and standing as the summit to change the world. We have been building the basic foundations until now. Believe that unprecedented and never-repeated works will continue this year and each raise up a prayer bartizan. 3) With this power, we are opening the age of the 3-day weekend. This is the reason we are beginning our preschool and summit school. The 3-day weekend will continue to become secularized, but for us who are raising the posterity, it will be a time of opening the age of RUTC. By the blessing of true concentration, may this year be the greatest year where we ourselves, our businesses, and our church become the eternal masterpiece.
