The 25-Hour Answer of Field Evangelization (Genesis 39:1-6)           3/5/2023

 

One important word for evangelists and evangelism movement organizations is ‘field.’ There are several meanings. It can be used to describe the workplace or business I am currently in. It can also be the difficult environment or problem I face. There, God will give me the evidence that gives me no choice but to testify before the world. Why does God give us evidence by making us go through these times? There are two reasons. It is so that I experience God’s power and blessing in my field, save others who face problems like me and evangelize the people I meet in my field. We receive grace when we worship. However, the real issue is that when we encounter problems in the field, the grace we received is nowhere in sight, and all that is left is conflict, discouragement, and despair. There are no thoughts about evangelism nor the strength to do so (reason for the 3 ages). There is another conflict. Some ask: if God says He will raise me as a witness, why am I always struggling? There are conflicts in my job, it is hard to get promoted like others, and everything is just difficult. They say, how can evangelism occur this way? Then, what was the evangelism that Joseph in the passage did? He was sold as a slave. It was a lonely and devastating present reality. Joseph’s evangelism began there. When things seemingly started to work out, he was sent to prison. What is this? Evangelism took place between Joseph and the people he met in prison. What did the evangelism

of the Upper Room that conquered the Roman Empire and commissioned missionaries worldwide look like? They were persecuted, imprisoned, and even financially, a very difficult reality. They carried out evangelism that saved the world.

 

  1. We must first correct three misunderstandings.

1) It is a misunderstanding of the gospel. The gospel is God sending us His Son, Christ (Luke 2:10).  

What is the most important and fundamental blessing we will enjoy through Christ? It is the salvation of our souls (1 Peter 1:8-9).

When my soul is saved, a love for Christ forms despite having never seen Him, and inexpressible joy comes from my heart regardless of the various problems in my present reality. The person who experiences this blessing has been truly saved. What do people really need? It is “peace” (John 14:27). If one has everything but no peace, one cannot be happy.

A life that has been saved this way lives a life that has been guaranteed to eternity.

We became children of God through Christ (John 1:12). We belong to Him. We have been delivered from our past. He is with us and helps us in the present. Our future is going on the path He has prepared. God has prepared even our eternal things. This is salvation (Ephesians 2:1-7). This guarantee is the covenant. Even if temporary problems come, it does not matter. It is a process of the covenant being fulfilled (covenant journey).

2) It is a misunderstanding of answers.  

We think that answers are only visible and physical answers. It is a blessing-oriented faith. All religions that have no gospel deceive people with this. This was what the Devil attempted to tempt Jesus with (Matthew 4:1-11).

People think answers are only immediate answers. It says, “I will show you great and unsearchable things” (Jeremiah 33:3). If Joseph had not been sold as a slave and lived a smooth life, he would have lived as a daddy’s boy. God planned to send Joseph to the most powerful nation in the world through the problem and incidents and raise him as the summit who saves the world. This is the conclusion of all problems and incidents that people of God face (Acts 1:8) and the conclusion of the world (Matthew 24:14).

3) It is a misunderstanding of evangelism. 

We stand as witnesses of Christ. This does not concern asserting myself or receiving physical blessings. We only need to testify lifelong about our life that lives by the peace Christ gives us and how we who are lacking are living by God’s grace (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Paul stated that he would boast of his weaknesses throughout his life (2 Corinthians 12:9). This is because Christ continues to raise us. Paul also said that he staked his life to the work of preaching this gospel (Acts 20:24). ‘Only’ comes out of our lifelong confession, lifelong boast, and lifelong mission (only Christ, God’s kingdom, power of the Holy Spirit).

 

  1. We can stand as evangelists who save the field like Joseph.

1) Imprint the absolute covenant given by God. 

Our brain judges and feels the problems and incidents that come our way. It is determined by what is imprinted in our brains. If scars are imprinted in my brain, even similar problems will only look like problems, and there will be fear and rage. My brain will send various neurotransmitters to resolve that issue and look for something to replace it (compensating action). The neurotransmitters that can combat depression, drug addiction, and gambling addiction have been exhausted, and there are no other imprints to defeat that.

The covenant of Christ must be imprinted in my brain, and I must have the time to receive spiritual strength.

Those who need important healing must repeatedly listen to the word (Romans 10:17). Make sure to have the time to meditate (Psalms 19:14). It is a time to establish my bartizan (tower). At that time, God sends angels to become my watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7) and fulfills the word (Psalms 103:20-22). Joseph finished this imprint before 18 years old. There is no record of him being discouraged or in despair.

2) Enjoy God being with me 24 hours.  God will change flow of myself and my field.

During times of severe difficulty, one cannot overcome fear and suffering if one loses hold of God being with me. All people and seven remnants whom God used experienced this during times of severe difficulty (Psalms 23:4). In this current world, living will be suffering if we lose hold of God being with us every moment.

Where is God with me? He is with me within me, in all my meetings, in all my fields and works I do. Joseph enjoyed this blessing. Even Potiphar saw that God was with Joseph (verse 3), and it said that God’s blessings were upon all his possessions (verse 5). Never once has God left me or been somewhere distant (Psalms 139:1-10).

3) Make an evangelist’s resolution in all my environments and present reality.

Make a resolution to stand as Christ’s witness in any environment. Do what is rightful, imperative, and absolute. Do everything as if you are serving the Lord (Matthew 25:40-41), it will be absolute. People will come to you (Platform)

Plan for evangelism and pray for the darkness within them to be bound and for their hearts to be prepared to receive the gospel (Watchtower, Bartizan)

.  Make all meetings an opportunity for evangelism and be prepared to explain Christ to whomever you meet (1 Peter 3:15).  Doors of evangelism will open even if you can accurately explain the way of salvation. We deliver the blessing of the heaven (Antenna)

 

Conclusion – God called us as the evangelists of this age. He has entrusted my field to me.  May you experience this 25-hour answer.
