  The Blessing of the Evangelism Summit (1Peter 2:9)                

 

Regardless of how difficult the world may be, there is a separate answer and blessing that the children of God will enjoy. There is a sure conclusion. How and to what extent does God desire to bless us? He gives us answers for us to gives answers to the world, heals us for us to heal the world, and blesses us to use us to bless the world.  Experiencing  this blessing and proclaiming it to the world are called evangelism, and those who are used for this work are called evangelists and disciples. What does an evangelism summit mean? It is the people who have this blessing of an evangelist and are also used importantly in the world.

 

  1. God blessed the people of God as the blessed people in each age for evangelism (true success, true summit).

1) In Genesis 1:26-28, God created the world and created humans as ones who will rule and bless the word.

Humans are living in contrast to this. Instead of ruling the world, they are trampled and live like servants and slaves. Rather than blessing the world, they are living as ones who destroy it. Thus, various curses, calamities, and wars persist in the world.

Christ came to save the suffering world and the people within it and to restore everything (Matthew 1::21). More importantly, there are people who have been chosen in each age to be used in the works that Christ has done.

2) The passage tells us to live with a realization of this. The moment we realize this fact we have already become a summit.

“You are a chosen people.” I did not choose God and we were not saved just by chance. We have been chosen in God’s absolute plan and eternal plan. It says that is God’s delight.

“A royal priesthood.” It meant that He would make it so that the saved true people of God will rule the world. He will use them to heal the suffering world and as the ones who will bless it. It means that God raised us, spiritual kings and priests.

“A holy nation.”  It means that the kingdom of God will be upon the places we go to. It means that the works of Satan that are leading the world and lives into darkness and failure will crumble (Luke 10:19, Matthew 12:28). It is recreating the flow of the field. It said that all was blessed because of Joseph who was a slave. Philip, who was a deacon, entered Samaria, and the entire region changed.

“God’s special possession.”  If we truly look to Christ then no one can harm us or destroy us (John 10:28, Romans 8:30-39). It is because we become ones who belong to God the moment we are saved. Why am I weary and failing? It is because you look to yourself and the world and not Him. All you need to do is to truly look upon Him (Psalms 91:14, Isaiah 40:30-31).

So what is the final work He desires to do? It is the conclusion of today’s passage and the conclusion of our life. “That you may declare the praises of him who called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” People will revive, darkness will crumble, and God’s glory will be revealed through us. He will give us answers to this point. This is called the blessing of the summit. Combining this two is called, “the evangelism summit.”

 

  1. Look at how God raised the people of God as evangelism summits in each age.

1) Look at Noah who was used in the Nephilim Age when God had no choice but to bring judgment through the flood.

God chose Noah by grace amidst that corrupted age (Genesis 6:8). How much did God bless Noah when he truly sought to follow the word? God blessed him to where he could build an ark that would save him, his family, posterity, and all creatures. The Bible calls Noah an “evangelist (preacher of righteousness)” (2 Peter 2:5).

2) Look at Abraham who was chosen within a land of idol worship and only held onto the covenant of Canaan empty-handed.  

He became a source of blessings and was told all nations and people would be blessed through him (Genesis 12:1-3). His son Isaac enjoyed that covenant and blessing and so did his grandson Jacob. Eventually, what kind of works took place through Joseph?

3) Through the twelve tribes that were formed through them, a nation called Israel was established.

They were the weakest nation, but God promised that they would be set high above all nations if they followed the promised word (Deuteronomy 28:1-14). It goes beyond today’s Jewish power. The kingdom of David that the Jewish nation is still waiting for to this day was established.

4) Who was the one that came through David’s descendants?

It is Christ, the King of Kings who saved all the world and people and whom all creation will bow before His feet. An important fact is that those who are in Christ have been called successors of the blessings that Abraham and his descendant enjoy(Galatians3:29). Some nations and countries were used in that matter in every age.

England, during the time they ruled the world, America, and present-day Korea commissioned the most missionaries into the world. They received blessings to that extent. Do you know how insignificant the beginning was for England, America, and Korea?

 

  1. God promised everything practical to use us as evangelism summits of this age.

1) He promised that Christ who has all the authority of heaven and earth will be with us to where we will make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).

It is all authority of heaven and earth. Worship is the time to enjoy that.

Our time of worship is the time to stand before God’s throne and to enjoy the blessing of Him who has the authority of heaven and earth (Psalm 134:2-3).  The believers who can enjoy this blessing are called the ambassadors for Christ and spiritual ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Stake everything in worship and place all my priorities, soul, heart, and everything in worship (worship success).  We need to hold onto the grace, strength, blessing, and word that is given in worship and go into the world. (Evangelist Billy Sunday in the Great Depression).

2) After worship service, it is a time for us to be commissioned into the world (Mark 16:17-20).  

What is the commissioning for? It is for you to share the grace you have received and the word you held onto (forum evangelism, regional church). When there is something I have held onto, I receive answers with that word and meet people who need to be strengthened.

What kind of works will take place? The word we share will free those bound by darkness and heal those whose spirit, heart, and bodies are sick. He will use us as spiritual doctors who heal spiritual problems.

3) The last conclusion is that the life we live will become evidence (Acts 1:8).

 Jerusalem is the evidence that is in me. Judea is the evidence of my family and household. Samaria is the evidence that takes place in the empty, abandoned, and dying places. The ends of the earth is not only somewhere far but the evidence that allows summits to stand in each age.

 

Conclusion – Regardless of how lacking we are, we are the ones who have the identity and authority of the summit who will be used by God. Start with making the time of a spiritual summit and enjoy the blessing of the throne. May you stand as witnesses of the evangelism summit who will save, heal and bless the world.
