David’s Conquest of the World (1 Samuel 16:11-13) 3/13/2022
It is the blessing of world conquest David enjoyed that we know very well. Young David, who was sent to the field to herd sheep even when there was an important gathering in his household, changed his entire life when Samuel anointed him. What kind of events took place? After his anointing, evil spirits fled when he played the lyre (verses 14-23). Even David’s victory in the famous battle with Goliath, where he defeated him with a small stone, was a blessing that came after this (chapter 17). After undergoing numerous sufferings, unprecedented works began when he became king of Israel (2 Samuel 5:12). His lifelong prayers written from his heart that loved and looked onto God became a masterpiece as the book of Psalms. Even the painful failure he faced in the incident of Bathsheba was written in Psalms (Psalms 51). God even blessed David’s old age (1 Chronicle 29:28). Christ comes through his descendants (Matthew 1:1). The life of David that was used this way can be called the blessing of an anointed one. Then, what does it mean to be anointed? God’s method when he called those He desired to use, entrust them with important works, and fill them with God’s power and authority was to anoint them(verse 13). The meaning of “Christ” is “The Anointed One.” God raised His Son, entrusted Him with the works to save all life, and poured all His power and authority onto Him. The works He carried out with the power and authority of a priest, prophet, and king is the salvation we enjoy. The most important fact is that this blessing of an anointed one has been granted to all believers who are in Christ. No matter how lacking we are, we are used as ones who save and revive ourselves, the world, and the future.
- Anyone saved can and must enjoy this blessing of an anointed one.
Important positions in the church are ordained, but they were originally ordained by being anointed. Anointing them means that they have been set apart by God and that the Holy Spirit works upon them. This blessing is not only given when church positions are raised, but it is a blessing applicable to all believers.
1) God has set us apart when we accepted Christ and were saved.
① The word “believers” means people who have been set apart and those in whom the Holy Spirit resides (1 Corinthians 3:16).
The moment we are saved, the Holy Spirit resides in us and has marked us with a seal (Ephesians 1:13). He continuously empowers us so that we who are lacking may fulfill God’s will in the world (Acts 1:8). This is called the filling of the Holy Spirit or anointing.
② This is why it said that the Holy Spirit came down as a dove and remained on Jesus when He was baptized (John 1:32).
We must seek the filling of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives, in worship, and especially when in difficulty and doing important works (Luke 11:13).
2) The Holy Spirit’s anointing and the filling of the Holy Spirit were granted for at least three things. This is the life of a conqueror.
① God desires for us to live as winners in this world covered in darkness through the Holy Spirit’s anointing (blessing of spiritual victory).
How evil, corrupted, and full of suffering is the world (Isaiah 60:2, 2 Timothy 3, Matthew 24)? Within that are our countless scars, limits, and spiritual problems. How can we live? We need to enjoy the Holy Spirit’s anointing and the filling of the Holy Spirit. At that time, we can overcome our weaknesses, scars, limits, and all the problems and suffering the world brings us. We enjoy the answers and blessings that God prepared for us within that. We will see and experience those when we enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit.
② God desires for us to live as leaders of the world through the Holy Spirit’s anointing (blessing of the spiritual summit).
Satan is leading the world and people the wrong way(IIJohn1:7). This is Satan’s 12 strategies. He lures people with self-centeredness, material (carnal things) centeredness, and success-centeredness, with the six fates bound for failure, shamanism, fortune-telling, and religion. It said that deception would continue in the final days (2 Timothy 3:14). You may have diligently gone a certain way, but that could be the wrong way. Therefore, we need to receive the Holy Spirit’s help and guidance (John 14:17, John 16:13). It said that when we hold onto the Word that was recorded through the Spirit’s inspiration, the accurate way that we must go to is revealed (2 Timothy 3:16-17). When we come to know the way while enjoying the filling of the Holy Spirit, we can lead others. They are the spiritual summits.
③ God desires for us to live as ones who revive the world through the Holy Spirit’s anointing (blessing of spiritual healing).
All people are sick and crumbling. Hence, they are afflicted, trapped, and oppressed with depression, addiction, and mental problems. Christ came to save those trapped and oppressed (Isaiah 61:1, Acts 10:38). Are you facing problems and suffering? God wants to heal me and use me to heal them (blessing of a spiritual doctor). David, who met numerous sufferings, gave an important confession. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows” (Psalms 23:5). This is the blessing of the Holy Spirit’s anointing and the filling of the Holy Spirit that we must enjoy. Jesus gave this healing power as He commissioned the disciples (Mark 16:17-18, James 5:14).
- Three answers come when we enjoy the blessing of the Holy Spirit’s anointing and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
1) The answer of only.
The conclusion that nothing becomes a problem when God is with me, guides me, and works upon me comes. There is nothing to be stressed about, no reason to compete with anyone, to be afraid and discouraged. That is the answer of only. This answer of only is the answer that David received during his most difficult times (Psalms 61:1-7). Paul said that this answer was the greatest answer he discovered in his life (Philippians 3:8-14, greatest knowledge, plan, prize).
2) The answer of uniqueness.
All things, even the trivial works, I do become a blessing of uniqueness because the Holy Spirit works. We see what others cannot, do what others cannot, and go where others cannot and stand as witnesses. David had learned how to use a sling while protecting sheep, but when God used that and poured His power, Goliath perished. Even if there are difficulties, failures, and disabilities, a life’s masterpiece that God uses comes from that.
3) The answer of recreation.
Although David also stumbled countless times and faced suffering, he revived himself saved the world and posterity. As David became king, the Ark of the Covenant that was taken away by the Philistines was restored, and an age of peace began. Works that destroy, kill, and trample are occurring across the world. However, God tells us that we will be used as the main figures of recreation.
Conclusion – God has called us as the ambassadors of Christ, spiritual doctors, and as the light tower that shines the light to the 237 nations of this age. Therefore, He will make all our things into evidence and have it become a masterpiece of only, uniqueness and recreation. May you seek and enjoy the blessing of blessings and the power of powers, the Holy Spirit’s anointing, that David experienced and enjoyed lifelong.
David’s Conquest of the World (1 Samuel 16:11-13) 3/13/2022 March 13, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Samuel’s Conquest of the World (1 Samuel 7:10-14) 3/06/2022
Samuel ended the period of judges and opened the monarchy period. He was of much importance in the Bible and Israel’s history. There are three representative blessings that Samuel enjoyed throughout his whole life. First, it said that none of Samuel’s words fell to the ground since he was little (1 Samuel 3:19-20). It meant that God was with him and carried out Samuel’s words and everything he did. This is the blessing to save me. Because God was with Samuel, He enjoyed the evidence that God helped and blessed his thoughts, words, and plan. This is the blessing that all parents, church officers, and pastors will enjoy in the family and field. Second, all suffering inflicted by enemies ended, and an era of peace began when Samuel led Israel (1 Samuel 7:13-14). It said that God’s hand was against the Philistines (power of the throne). Everything lost was restored, and there was peace between the Amorites, the neighboring territory (blessing of the throne). This is the blessing to save the church and field. Third, he raised one remnant disciple and changed the future(I Samuel 16:1-16). He was a king David. God allowed the two to meet, and David was anointed and nurtured according to God’s will. Samuel continuously supported him from behind. The start of David’s kingdom was an unprecedented blessing to Israel. If figures like this come forth among our children, church, and remnants, we meet in the field, the future changes. May the blessing of the true conqueror that saves yourself, church, field, future, and posterity absolutely begin. How can we stand to enjoy these blessings? We must restore three things.
- The people who led and supported Samuel from behind. This is the parent’s blessing.
Figures who were blessed and used throughout ages were not made by chance.
1) At a basic level, it is a blessing enjoyed through one’s biological parents.
① Samuel’s mother, Hannah, and father, Elkanah, are important. This is why they are recorded explicitly in 1Samuel 1 and 2.
It started with a heartful (consuming passion) prayer because they had no son. What they discovered as God’s absolute plan was a “Nazarite.” He was not one of many children, but Hannah deeply prayed for a child that God would surely use.
② Whether my prayer and work accurately align with God is important. Truly pray about that.
When they received Samuel as an answer, they were parents who went all-in for him to be used by God truly. They sent young Samuel to the temple and supported him through lifelong prayer. Even if we cannot do other things, we must be able to do this.
2) Prophet Eli was Samuel’s mentor and played the role of a spiritual parent.
Objectively, Prophet Eli was not a leader with much spirituality. He was dense to where he mistook Hannah to be drunk when she was deeply praying (1 Samuel 1:12-16). However, he helped with two very important things.
① He blessed Hannah when she prayed to receive answers for her prayers (1 Samuel 1:17-18).
Make it so that the servant of the Lord blesses you this way. Hence, pastors must know your important prayer topics.
② He taught Samuel how to live a life that serves God (1 Samuel 3:1).
He especially taught Samuel how to answer when God desires to use him (1 Samuel 3:4-9).
- The relationship with God that Samuel enjoyed. He enjoyed the power of the Holy Spirit and the power and blessing of the throne within this.
Our relationship with God was restored the moment we were saved. Now, enjoy that blessing (Romans 5:1, Ephesians 2:14-19).
1) Enjoy it with the faith that holds onto the God-given covenant.
It records that young Samuel slept before God’s ark of the covenant (1 Samuel 3:3). What does that signify?
He kept near the ark of the covenant and held onto the spiritual blessing within that (ten commandments, Aaron’s rod that budded, manna).
① The ten commandments are the promised word.
He held onto God’s promise in the word. It said that the ten commandments play the role of allowing us to realize how weak we are (Romans 3:20), thus, drawing us near to Christ (Galatians 3:24). This tells us to hold onto how we have been delivered in Christ, what kind of beings we have become to enjoy blessings, and how we will relay these blessings (Matthew 5:17, Romans 13:10).
② Aaron’s budded rod is the power and authority given to believers.
This is why we are called a royal priesthood that has the authority of Christ (1 Peter 2:9). Although Satan tries to destroy us with various problems, we can overcome him with Christ’s authority and save everyone. The bud that sprouted on a dead rod symbolizes the ministry of reviving life. It is the evangelist’s blessing.
③ The manna is the covenant of God that will give us answers to where we can save the church, posterity, and the world. Financial blessings are within this.
We are not on the level that needs to be bound and worried about making ends meet (Matthew 6:33, 2 Corinthians 9:8). We hold onto this covenant and give our offering and life staking devotion with all our strength.
2) Enjoy this by living a life that loves, looks upon, and exalts God. That is the life of a worshiper (Pilgrim).
① This is what Samuel learned throughout his life as he grew up in the temple. He learned worship.
Unfortunately, Prophet Eli’s two sons did not enjoy this blessing and lost hold of all blessings (1 Samuel 2:22-25).
② Samuel resolved all problems with worship. Especially when Israel was in crisis, he restored it through worship.
This is the worship that assembled at Mizpah in the passage. This is what was restored during severely difficult times when the Philistines trampled the nation. In a very dire situation, they discarded all idols and worshiped as they fasted (1 Samuel 7:5-6). The Philistines attacked Israel at this time, but that was when it was over for them. This is spiritual victory. The Devil trembles in fear when we worship and pray. It is the time when God’s help begins (Ebenezer).
③ Train so that your daily life becomes worship. That is 24-hour worship (“living sacrifice” Romans 12:1).
It is making a life that loves, looks upon, and exalts God in the center of my heart, in all my work, and all circumstances. The Devil lures us to live a contrary life and leads us to lose hold of the blessings and answers of the throne that God gives us.
Conclusion – Samuel means “I asked the Lord.” May you enjoy the deep things of this blessing when faced with a crisis.
Samuel’s Conquest of the World (1 Samuel 7:10-14) 3/06/2022 March 6, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Gideon’s Conquest of the World (Judges 7:1-7) 2/27/2022
Gideon is a representative judge among the 12 judges during the period of judges. He is well-known as the leader who defeated the Midianites, who had tormented the Israelites with a small army of 300. Who were the judges? They were leaders whom God had raised to save Israel whenever they were in crisis. One of the most important works they did was bringing victory in the war against their enemies. What does that signify? It signifies the victory in the spiritual battle that people of God must enjoy their whole life and the way of the conqueror that we must go on. How do wars start in the world? It begins from humans, more specifically from the greed of politicians. They take it as an opportunity to expand their nation’s territory and solidify their position through war. Military power is important to them. Wars in the Bible were different. There were spiritual meanings within them. First, enemies invaded whenever the people of God looked upon something other than God, which became an idol. The Bible repeatedly states that this was why surrounding nations continuously invaded the Israelites during the period of judges. It alludes that Satan can attack anytime if people of God do not enjoy God’s grace and power. Second, spirits of darkness were used behind those who brought suffering to the people of God (Ephesians 6:12). The Holy Spirit brings unity (Ephesians 4:3), but Satan is a spirit that divides and provokes (James 3:14-15). Third, the way to defeat these enemies is to have spiritual power (1 Peter 5:8-9). Therefore, Christ came as our king who destroyed the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8), and Christ still fights for us with the heavenly army that our Father God mobilizes for us (Matthew 26:53, Revelation 17:14). Thus, whenever these judges who had this spiritual mystery appeared, the Bible states that “the land had rest from war” (Joshua 14:15, 1 Samuel 7:13-14, 2 Kings 6:23).
- Gideon was a disciple whom God had chosen and raised. This is the identity of all believers and a fundamental aspect of all spiritual battles.
1) God chose Gideon and came to him (Judges 6:11-14).
The Bible repeatedly emphasizes this fact to the saved people. I have chosen you before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-5), I have called you by name and saved you (Romans 8:30), and I will raise you as a royal priesthood and send you to shine the light to the world (1 Peter 2:9).
2) God will be with us for that reason (Judges 6:12 “The Lord is with you, might warrior.”)
We enjoy this blessing the moment we are saved (Matthew 1:22-23). He sends us to the world and promises to be with us to the end of the world, Mark 16:18-20). At that moment, we have already become mighty warriors like Gideon. This is why God calls us the Lord’s troop, the soldier of Christ(Exodus 12:41, Ezekiel 37:10, II Timothy 2:3).
3) What was the condition when He called us like this? There were no conditions. It is God’s absolute grace (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Gideon, who was the weakest and most lacking, was chosen. Even Gideon knew himself realistically (Judges 6:15).
① When I truly discover the me that cannot live without God’s grace, I will be able to live my entire life experiencing God’s grace and power.
This is why we face various problems and pain, which is the way to deeply experience grace (Deuteronomy 8:15-16).
② We are actually unable to protect or save anyone if it is not the grace and power of God. That is the result of Genesis 3.
Starting with Adam, he fell into greed by himself (Genesis 3:5). Therefore, all life born with a corrupted nature after Adam cannot be free from this greed. There are Satan’s scheme and temptation (John 8:44). We cannot overcome Satan by ourselves. The relationship with God was broken, and we were bound to live lives that were destined to fail regardless of how much we struggled (Ephesians 2:1-3). Christ came as the Son of God to solve these three fundamental problems (Romans 8:1-2, 1 John 3:8, John 14:6).
- God allowed Gideon to know this spiritual fact and experience it. This is the start of spiritual battles.
We must experience this in all the problems we face, the problems in our family, and those we face in the field.
1) Gideon was told to destroy all the idols in his house before he went to fight the spiritual battle in the field (Judges 6:25-26).
Idols represent the things (state) that replace God’s place with other things.
① We may put ourselves in that place (Genesis 3:5). I sit in God’s place. There is no need for God (Romans 1:28).
② Visible carnal things, materialistic things, and eventually, money can be in that place (Genesis 6:3). It is not that we do not need money. However, there is no satisfaction if money becomes a priority and the center of one’s heart, and that becomes evil desires and greed, and that becomes idolatry (Colossians 3:5).
③ The greed for worldly success can be in that place (Genesis 11:4). Hence, people seek shamanism, fortune-telling, and religions.
2) Gideon experienced that the works of Satan behind these idols were powerless (Judges 6:31-32).
① This incident became an issue in that region, but his father resolved.
He said, “If Baal [the idol my son has broken] is really a god, he can defend himself.”
② Satan can deceive us to fall into discouragement, fear, and rage, but he can never overcome us (“Jerub-Baal”).
Never be afraid in this world covered in darkness but may you have victory with the faith that looks upon Christ. Especially those who suffer from depression, affliction, and auditory hallucinations, may you fight with the name of Christ (Luke 10:19).
- Now, God has given victory and evidence with God’s absolute power. This is the conclusion of spiritual battles.
1) God did not raise an army of many. He said to raise 300. What was the standard?
God used two types of people. They were people who only looked upon God and did not fear, and those who were awake and prepared. Although 33,000 people gathered, those afraid of the impending war were told to go back (Judges 7:3). God sought those who had faith. Only faith allows one to enjoy the power of the Holy Spirit, the blessing of the throne, and spiritual victory (Mark 16:17). Those who lap the water with their tongues as dog laps were separated. They signified the awake and praying believers (1 Peter 5:8).
2) It was then that God showed evidence. That was the power of the Holy Spirit, the blessing of the throne, and unprecedented work.
The enemies had strange dreams that filled them with fear of losing the war (Judges 7:10-14). The 300 soldiers were divided into three groups and were told to do something with three things.
① They were instructed to blow trumpets. They were to hold onto the covenant of victory that Christ gives us as they blow trumpets made of sheep’s horns.
② They were instructed to break empty jars. It was a strategy to confuse the enemy with the noise, but it also meant to discard and empty my standard, scars, and unbelief.
③ They were instructed to hold torches on the other hand. It represents the power of light that shines onto darkness. That is the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of the throne.
Conclusion – There was something the 300 shouted during this war. “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” God will bring victory in all battles for only God’s glory. May the blessing that Gideon and the 300 enjoyed become ours.
Gideon’s Conquest of the World (Judges 7:1-7) 2/27/2022 February 27, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Caleb’s Conquest of the World (Joshua 14:6-12) 2/20/2022
Caleb is a spiritual leader and church officer who followed Moses with Joshua and led the people of Israel. He was a friend and the greatest coworker to Joshua. Although it seemed like Joshua overshadowed him, he was used importantly before God. Eventually, he became a conqueror’s model that saved the church, field, and future at a time of crisis. There are two records of Caleb in the Bible. He was used in the ministry of exploring Canaan (Numbers 13,14) and as the main figure in the conquest of Hebron, as mentioned in the passage. Although it was only two ministries, the impact was great. It created works that saved himself, the church, and the future during a crisis. May you be in this blessing whenever a crisis may come.
- The mystery to save me in this world faced with numerous crises and problems.
God’s absolute plan is to revive us to save the church, world, and posterity. Although numerous crises and problems come, it is God’s will for me to be revived and receive answers and blessings.
1) Simply put, that is called the covenant. The covenant is the absolute plan of God for each of our lives that are given to us as a promise.
① This was given during creation. It is called the covenant of creation, the first covenant. It is the absolute blessing of Genesis 1:27-28, 2:7, 2:1-8.
The first life, Adam, was deceived by Satan and sinned, and all mankind lost hold of this blessing (Romans 5:12).
② God opened the way to restore this blessing. It is called the covenant of redemption, the covenant of grace, the new covenant.
God sent His Son as the Christ and had Him take all our sins and curses in our place and deliver us from the forces of Satan (Colossians 1:13-14). It is the covenant of redemption. God gave us grace because we cannot do this by our strength or actions (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is the covenant of grace. He raised an intermediary to restore the first blessing He gave us (Hebrews 9:15). It is the new covenant.
2) In each age, God chooses an individual, reconfirms the blessing within this covenant, and raises the individual as a witness.
Within that are individuals that have been mentioned in the pulpit, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses Joshua, and Caleb from the passage. He proclaimed this when the ten spies criticized Canaan and spoke unbelief (Numbers 13:30-33, 14:6-9).
① He knew the meaning of Canaan. He knew the spiritual reason why the land was called the promised land.
He had known that Christ would come to that land and that all life needed to be delivered from all curses in Christ.
② Canaan must be conquered. He said that God would give us that land. He knew the meaning behind the conquest of Canaan.
Why must God rescue me from crisis and problems and make that into answers and blessings? It is not something that can be done with zeal. We must know the reason why God must work. He desires to make us witnesses. Therefore, He will deliver us, make us a source of blessings, and make all problems work for good (Romans 8:28).
③ He also knew the method for the conquest of Canaan. He said, “we will devour them because the Lord is with us.”
This is the promise that Christ gave as He sent us to the world and field (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:19-20, Acts 1:8).
3) All that is left to do is to make this covenant my imprint, root, and nature. That forms my spiritual state.
① Knowing (knowledge) the covenant and having it be your imprint, root, and nature is different.
Imprint is the standard for one’s thoughts. The standard to see problems and incidents change. People are deceived because they think and judge problems and crises with different standards (based on scars, experience, world, and the law). That becomes a real problem and a channel for Satan. Roots become the standard for one’s actions. One’s words and actions come out based on how much the covenant has been rooted in their soul and inner being. Nature becomes the standard for one’s life. The gospel is exuded in their daily life, and life itself becomes an answer and blessing.
② We must have our personal time of concentration until the covenant becomes our imprint, root, and nature.
Hold onto the covenant (Word) every day through the three todays, receive God’s strength (prayer), and continue to carry out the evangelism that saves (evangelism).
③ What is the blessing that Caleb enjoyed despite being amidst a difficult environment and with people who had unbelief?
Those who had unbelief died in Canaan, and Joshua and Caleb became the main figures to save the church and future (Numbers 14:24).
- How did he save the church? It is the mystery to save the church.
1) The church is established by God, reigned by God, and is a place where God works (Matthew 16:18, Hebrews 3:5).
Believers receive strength and answers, enjoy blessings, and receive training as they experience this.
2) Pastors and church officers are servants and coworkers who run errands for the works of fulfilling God’s will.
The church and I are revived based on the faith and posture I have as I serve and follow God.
① He discarded the vested rights that came with a role or position and went to the lowest place. It is true devotion.
Caleb had the first choice when choosing land during the division of Canaan’s land (verse 9). He gave that up. He chose the land that others did not want and had disregarded (that place is the empty, abandoned, and deserted place).
② There was a confession of faith that he gave at that time. That changed the entire flow when all believers were shaken before Hebron).
He confessed the absolute reason God had allowed him to live to that day. He said it was for this time when the church was in difficulty. He confessed that God will surely do His work and that they would be able to conquer just as God had said previously. My confession of faith changes the spiritual flow and creates the works of the Holy Spirit that overcomes my level and power. Afterward, war ceased in the land (Joshua 14:15). Give a confession of faith rather than a confession of reality (Romans 10:10, 1 Peter 3:10).
- How did he save the future? It is the mystery to save the posterity.
1) The covenant and faith that Caleb held onto were relayed to his daughter and son-in-law, Othniel.
① In addition to teaching the covenant and faith, Caleb’s life showed and influenced them. This is the key to remnant education/discipline.
② Othniel was from the same tribe of Judah as Caleb, became Caleb’s son-in-law, and went forth in the conquest of Hebron. That was the condition that was given to him (Joshua 15:16-17).
Later on, Othniel follows Joshua and becomes a judge of Israel. It said that there was peace in the land for forty years when he was a judge of Israel (Judges 3:7-11). His one daughter he had raised in the covenant and son-in-law saved the future this way.
2) David came through their descendants, and David became King of Israel in the land of Hebron they had conquered in advance (2 Samuel 5:3).
Christ came through the descendants of Caleb and David, and the way for all nations to be saved opened. Caleb held onto the covenant, saw in advance, and prepared the future when he chose the land of Hebron (CVDIP). Our small devotion and choices become God’s future, a hundred-year answer, and eternal blessing.
Conclusion – If Joshua is a model of a pastor, Caleb is a model of a believer (church member) and church officer. May you stand as the main figure of this blessing.
Caleb’s Conquest of the World (Joshua 14:6-12) 2/20/2022 February 20, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Joshua’s Conquest of the World (Joshua 1:1-6) 2/13/2022
Joshua’s world conquest is the eighth model of a disciple who conquers the world. Who is Joshua? He became the leader who led Israel after Moses, completed the conquest of Canaan, discovered a disciple like Rahab, the prostitute, within that, and documented all of that for the next generation (book of Joshua). Simply put, he saved the church, field, and posterity.
- God desires to carry out those works through us in this age and desires for us to live while enjoying that blessing.
1) God surely desires to raise us as spiritual leaders who will revive the church, field, and posterity.
This blessing is the first covenant of Genesis 1:27. It was why He chose Israel in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 33:29), and the covenant that God reconfirmed when the Israelites were oppressed by the world and brought captive because they lost hold of this very covenant (Isaiah 55:3-5).
This is also why we are holding the church officer training. It is so that you may be used importantly, not only in the church but also in the world.
2) The conquest of Canaan that was completed through Joshua is the conquest of the field for us.
We meet problems and enemies in the family, school, and workplace as we live in this world. Enjoy spiritual victory there(Ephesians6;12). It was not all smooth roads when Joshua conquered Canaan. He had to fight numerous obstacles and adversaries. The Jordan River split, and the Wall of Jericho crumbled when God worked. Although there was a temporary defeat in Ai's battle, the Israelites eventually triumphed. The last battle was the one against the united armies of the prior inhabitants of Canaan; it was there where the famous unprecedented works took place. There was a hail from the sky, and the sun and moon stopped when Joshua prayed. Are you in difficult times? Pray that God may work with the power and authority of the throne and believe that He will give you unprecedented evidence and go forth.
3) Rahab, a prostitute discovered among the inhabitants of Canaan, becomes an ancestor of King David and Christ.
The Gibeonites who came to Joshua and made a covenant with him become those who serve the city. This is the blessing of evangelism and missions. One person’s life change through the evangelism and missions we do and their posterity is used by God. 237 missions change the future of one nation (Korea today was made through the many devotions of foreign missionaries).
- How did God train and bless Joshua until He was used in such a way?
May you restore important blessings as you see Joshua’s entire life and focus on three things.
1) some people trained Joshua to be used as the spiritual leader of one age.
In Verse 1 of the passage, Joshua introduces himself as “the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant.”
① Moses chose and trained Joshua when he was a young adult, and Moses had laid his hands on him (Deuteronomy 34:9).
He thought about the spiritual leader who trained, blessed, raised him by his side, and gave thanks (2 Kings 2:12). “Assistant” or “attendant” means that he was always with Moses and carried out his errands. That was an opportunity. There is one verse that explains this role very well. Joshua did not leave the tent when Moses led worship and went home (Exodus 33:10-11). He stayed behind alone and finished what was left to do. This is where his spirituality grew.
② His father’s name was mentioned, and the word “son” was used.
This was basic respect and gratitude for parents. There are no records of how well the parent treated the child. The content is not that important. However, we must obey, thank, and serve our parents for simply being our parents. This is the only law among the ten commandments that holds a promise (Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1-3). “Your days may be long and prosperous.” How one treats his parent is a fundamental aspect that becomes the foundation in serving the eternal Father God(Mark7:10-11).
2) many helped Joshua, but the one coworker who was powerful but hidden in his help was Caleb.
① Joshua met Caleb as a fellow spy to Canaan during Moses’ time.
He ripped his clothes and boldly spoke of faith when everyone else had unbelief. He was someone who could connect with Moses with three things (Numbers 14:6-8). They could share about God’s plan, connect with the faith that believed in God’s power and challenge themselves to the future. He proclaimed, “This land is a promised land by God; if God helps us, we will conquer the land.”
② He retired as his friend became a leader, but Caleb helped Joshua during dire times (Joshua 14:6-15).
If one coworker like this becomes my life team in my entire life, my life and history will change.
3) There was a mystery for Caleb that allowed him not to be shaken regardless of whatever problems and crises along his way to be a leader.
1) What was the very important thing that was relayed through Moses? It was the covenant (verses 3-6).
The promise that was given to his ancestors and Moses was reconfirmed. “Just as I promised to Moses.” “Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, I have given to you.” It was the covenant of Canaan. This is the covenant of Christ and the covenant of victory to enjoy within that. “From the wilderness and this Lebanon as the great river, the river Euphrates shall be your territory.” It is the covenant of conquest and the covenant of evangelism and missions. “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, I will be with you.” This is the covenant of God’s method.
2) Joshua made this covenant his imprint, root, and nature throughout his life and made it his own (my covenant, my gospel).
The eyes to see himself, problems, and people changed from then on. This is where the 3 todays to continue lifelong comes forth.
① “Be strong and courageous” was repeated three times (verses 6-9). Where does that come from? It is the mystery of prayer (today’s prayer).
Joshua crossed the Jordan river (Joshua 3:1) and woke up at dawn before destroying Jericho (Joshua 6:12) (day starting with prayer). He marched around Jericho every day without speaking a word. Prayer came first rather than talk, and Jericho crumbled by the power of prayer. It records that Joshua prayed to God for the sun and moon to stop when he fought against the united armies of Canaan (Joshua 10:12).
② You shall meditate the Word day and night; then you will be prosperous” (verses 7-8). This is the power of the Word (today’s word).
He found the answer and way in the Word, and the Word came first when he did something important or was before a crisis (Ark of the Covenant). It says, “Do not turn from it to the right hand or the left” (verse 7). This is more important than listening to my own words or others.
③ He raised Rahab, the prostitute, and the Gibeonites to do God’s work. This is the ministry of evangelism and missions (today’s evangelism).
Do not be quick to judge others but see them as God’s plan and plan evangelism. We cannot persuade and change others with our strength. Pray that the darkness among them may crumble, and pray for the Holy Spirit to work. Relay the accurate Christ and share the mission of God, which desires to use every one of us. They will stand as disciples.
Conclusion – Once again, hold onto the meaning within the meetings with a spiritual leader, parent, and coworker just as Joshua had done. Create a life that deeply enjoys the relationship with God through the 3 todays. May the church be revived through us individually, and nay your life be a life where evidence continues in your field.
Joshua’s Conquest of the World (Joshua 1:1-6) 2/13/2022 February 13, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Moses’ Conquest of the World (Exodus 3:6-12) 2/6/2022
Moses is one of the prophets representing the Old Testament (Acts 7:37). He was used in the works of saving Israel that had crumbled after Joseph’s time through 400 years of slavery to Egypt. He received the law and delivered it to the people of God and was used in recording five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. He made all platforms for the Israelites that had come out of Egypt to go into Canaan and raised disciples like Joshua and Caleb, who would become the devoted next-generation leaders. It said that
God spoke to Moses face to face as a man spoke to his friend. Moses also faced much pain until He was used as God’s servant and masterpiece. That is God’s love and grace. He was born when Joseph had died, and Abraham’s descendants were enslaved to Egypt. He was abandoned on the river by his parents was discovered and adopted by an Egyptian princess (pain during birth and upbringing). Fortunately, Moses’ mother hid the fact that she was his biological mother, nursed him, and planted the identity of a Hebrew nation (pain of a TCK). To save a Hebrew, he murdered an Egyptian official and lived as a fugitive (pain as a criminal). He fled to Midian, where he met a Midian woman and gave birth to two sons, but that could not provide him comfort. It was to where he named his son “Gershom” (I have been a sojourner) (Exodus 2:22). Why am I extensively explaining Moses’ pain? We may have similar pain, but we must not give any excuses. God used all of that and saved the Age of Moses and made him into a masterpiece and disciple who saves and conquers.
- How was Moses used as a disciple who saved the age?
1) It was a decision made in God’s absolute plan. We are those who are chosen in the same way the moment we are saved (Ephesians 1:3-5, 1 Peter 2:9).
We must find our life’s absolute worth here. We are those chosen to be used by God. Therefore, we can become a masterpiece.
2) God has given His absolute plan as a covenant. It is the same as the covenant He repeatedly gave since the time of Abraham.
God emphasizes, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham.” (Verse 6). Then what does God say to Moses? He reconfirms the repeated covenant again (verses 7-12).
① God says He has seen the suffering and cry of His people and has come down (verse 7-8). It is the covenant of Christ.
The sin and curses that man carries after Adam and the spiritual problems that Satan brings behind that all come from being separated from God. Hod sent His Son because we cannot solve this on our own. He became the Priest that forgives our sins and curses through death (Colossians 1:14), the King that destroyed the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8), and the Prophet that leads us to God (John 14:6). He has finished our life’s fundamental problems and saved us from all our life’s problems.
② Deliverance is not the end. They would be led to a land that is beautiful, grand, and flowing with milk and honey (verse 8). It is the covenant of blessings.
God will change the life that is oppressed with scars to a beautiful life, a life that is always lacking and inadequate to a great and grand life, a life that is filled with suffering into a life that enjoys true happiness that overflows with milk and honey. It will become a life that enjoys God’s blessings.
③ Why must He save and bless me like this? He tells us to go (verse 9). He will send me to save the world (verse 10).
This is evangelism and missions, the covenant of world evangelization. “All people and nations on earth will be blessed through you.”
④ What is God’s method? He said, “I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you that I have sent you.”
Do not be afraid of any problems, enemies, or environments. Everything ends when God is with you. Moses, who had failed and was incompetent due to old age, was on this journey of the covenant being fulfilled.
- God’s time schedule was in Moses’ journey of the covenant being fulfilled.
It is not time that just flows by. It is the time schedule in which God’s time schedule is being fulfilled (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Hold onto this as a roadmap.
1) Be equipped with the basics and foundation that gives God no choice but to use you (time schedule of the Coming of Age Ceremony).
You do not become an adult just because you age. Do not be at the level of an adult child.
① This is why children receive family discipline from the parents, education from school, and Sunday school education at church.
It is to create the basics and foundation, discover the God-given talents, and prepare for the future. This is given to everyone. No parent teaches terrible things to their children. It is learning the basics. They learn to obey, serve, yield, and help through relationships with parents and siblings. They learn basic knowledge and social skills at school. At church, they learn the relationship with God, with other believers and church members, and the church that one’s life needs to enjoy fundamentally.
② Moses learned this in the Egyptian palace until he was 40 years old as he grew up with his biological mother, who was his caretaker (Acts 7:22).
Martin Luther and John Knox said that a family, school, and church are institutions established by God and that they should cooperate to raise future leaders. It is not only about religious reformers. These three institutions were present when God used America.
2) It is a time to realize the mission of how I will live my life and fulfill God’s Will (time schedule of the Missioning Ceremony).
Acts 7:23 states, “It came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.” Working hard, making much money, and getting high positions does not mean everything will work out.
① Even unbelievers who do important works realize their mission in their work (vocation, profession).
How can we help others who are weak and in difficulty? Use the role and position given by society, a job, and government for their mission.
② A person of God must go beyond that (1 Peter 2:9).
God desires us to stand as people whom the society, workplace, and country acknowledge and as ones whom God accepts and uses (heavenly mandate). We must stand as ones who shine the light of Christ (watchman’s watchtower), saves (spiritual doctor), and relay (spiritual ambassador) in the place we are in.
③ Are there problems and pain in me and my children? It is the way to stand as a specialized worker who can save others like me.
God sent Moses through 40 years of pain for him to resonate and sympathize with Israel’s 400 years of pain (Hebrews 4:15).
3) Eventually, the time schedule for Moses to go to the king of Egypt and proclaim the gospel and save the Israelites came (Time schedule of the Commissioning Ceremony).
God repeated three times, “I will send you” (verses 10,14,15). This is what the word “apostle” means.
① God has commissioned me to my field.
I am the apostle, evangelist, and missionary of my field.
② You will experience the five powers and the nine blessings of the throne when you hold onto the covenant of being commissioned and truly pray.
Although he went with only a staff in his hand, the ten miracles in Egypt and the splitting of the red sea took place. These were all the blessings that he experienced in the wilderness.
Conclusion – If possible, train these three-time schedules and go to the world. People who started to believe later in life and older need to hold onto Moses’ covenant (Deuteronomy 34:7). May your life be used in these three blessings lifelong.
Moses’ Conquest of the World (Exodus 3:6-12) 2/6/2022 February 6, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Joseph’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 41:38-40) 1/30/2022
Why do problems and disasters continue in the world, and people suffer? In the end, it is due to humankind’s greed and the works of Satan, the spirit of darkness, that instigate that very greed and lead the world into darkness. However, people hide their greed, blame others, and even blame God and resent Him. The Bible says that God does not inflict evil on anyone and does tempt with evil for anyone to fall (James 1:13-15). We can understand if an unbeliever says that because they do not know spiritual things. However, believers are giving these excuses and crumbling. In the Bible, why did Saul fail? Individuals like Judas Iscariot among Jesus’s disciples, Ananias and Sapphira of the Early Church, Demas who betrayed Paul and left (2 Timothy 4:10), crumbled this way. Satan deceived them. Last week, Jacob’s failure came in this manner. However, God saved, healed, renewed, and used him when he sought God’s grace and held onto the gospel.
On the contrary, what happens if someone is envied, betrayed, and unfairly treated despite never harming someone? This is like Joseph in the passage. One must hold onto the greatest plan of God in that moment and problem. Things work out if one deeply enjoys God and waits by considering it as a time to enjoy the deep answers God has prepared (9 blessings of the throne). He will save himself, the field, and all people with that blessing and answer. This is the life of a true conqueror. Joseph is that model.
- Joseph lost hold of everything and enjoyed the most fundamental thing in a place where he had nothing (blessing of the three life).
Even if a person of God does not have anything else and cannot enjoy something else, he can enjoy this blessing. Everything else follows naturally. There are three blessings of spiritual life that God has given us during creation which He continues to restore in Christ.
1) It is the image of God that He gave as He created life (Genesis 1:27)
① What is the image of God?
It is not the flesh that is visible. It is spirit. Humans are different from animals because humans are beings with a spirit. Thus, the expression “the supreme of creation” is used for humans. It means that they are spiritual beings, superior beings. We receive the life lost after Adam the moment we accept Christ (John 14:6, John 5:24, 1 John 5:11-12).
② If this spiritual life does not exist or is diseased, the relationship with God will be difficult, and one will become obsessed with carnal and worldly things.
When the greed for carnal things is continuously pursued, everything becomes diseased, and one’s life eventually becomes a life that runs errands for Satan (Joseph’s brothers).
2) God breathed His breath into our life, our soul (Genesis 2:7).
① By saying He breathed His breath; it does not only pertain to living life. He did not do that with animals.
It means that He breathed the power of the Holy Spirit into us. The same phrase is used when referring to the recording of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16). This is why the power of the Holy Spirit works upon us when we worship and especially when we hold onto the word. It is the same works of the Holy Spirit.
② Therefore, a believer’s times of loneliness and unfair treatment are an opportunity to enjoy the deep things of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).
Joseph enjoyed this when he was sold as a slave and imprisoned (Genesis 39:2,3,23).
3) When my soul enjoys God, every place I am in becomes the Garden of Eden (heaven, kingdom of God) (Genesis 2:1-19).
① Why is the Garden of Eden called Eden?
It is because God was with them there. It is the same for the new heaven and earth that we will enjoy. Regardless of how much money a family has without any lacking, that place becomes hell if it is not a place where God is with.
② Make every place (family, work, school) I am in a place where God works (kingdom of God).
Even if you may be the only one there, hold onto the word and pray. The forces of darkness that try to deceive and destroy us will crumble (Matthew 12:28). You will enjoy the blessing of everything and everyone in the place of nothing and nobody, just like Joseph.
- The blessing and answer that Joseph enjoyed are called the blessings of the three transcendences.
1) What are the three transcendences?
The Triune God, who is on the throne, sees Himself, sends angels, and works. That is when the works that transcend time and space take place. That is when the power of the light that saves all the people in darkness is revealed.
2) This is not absolutely difficult. God desires us to experience the blessings of the three transcendences that Joseph enjoyed in this age.
① He enjoyed this in Potiphar’s household, where he had been brought as a slave.
Everything Joseph did was prosperous because God was with Him (Genesis 39:3). Joseph found favor in his master’s sight and became the overseer of his house and fields, and everything was blessed (Genesis 39:5). The works in which my workplace and everyone related to me is blessed through me is the blessing of the throne that we must enjoy.
② He enjoyed this in prison he was sent to after refusing Potiphar’s wife’s temptation.
He could not betray the master that had trusted him. Although it could have become a comfortable way temporarily, he knew that it would become a way to death. Therefore, he chose prison. However, God gave Joseph an even more important blessing of meetings there.
③ He went to the palace and gave the king an answer.
Even a king becomes hopeless when faced with problems. Joseph shined God’s light at that time. Because the God of the throne worked upon him, that became an answer. We also need this power of light when we evangelize someone (Mark 16:18-20). Christ has become our light. Stand as one who enjoys and shines the light.
- God’s eternal masterpiece was created in Joseph’s life as he went through these life courses (3 unprecedented works).
It is an unprecedented life that is only lived once. My life becomes even more unprecedented when I am saved (Isaiah 43:1-2). If we experience these unprecedented works of God in all problems and environments, we will revive ourselves, the church, and the world.
1) Pharoah looks at Joseph as an individual and acknowledges by saying, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”
The king had felt Joseph’s spiritual depth and acknowledged him as an unprecedented individual (spirituality, uniqueness). He also acknowledged the discernment and wisdom that came from that. Experience this in all problems and pain. You enjoy this blessing as much as you look upon God. My environment, identity, and age does not matter. Joseph was 30 years old at this time (verse 46).
2) Unprecedented works will take place because of me and my church that God has allowed.
We ourselves are the church (1 Corinthians 3:16). Our family is also a church (Ephesians 5:22-32). That is where we must relay the blessing to our posterity. The church is strengthened when those blessing gathers. All remnants must prepare for the future and save it (3 camps). Joseph saved his brothers who had sold him and their children and established the 12 tribes of Israel.
3) Joseph saved all surrounding nations during the seven-year famine by selling the food he had gathered up in advance.
We call something like this the economy of light and the system of the economy of light that will save the 237 nations.
Conclusion – God had made a setting for Joseph to enjoy these nine blessings of the throne through everything he went through. Therefore, me alone and another spiritual summit raised through me is important. May every one of us be victorious in this covenant.
Joseph’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 41:38-40) 1/30/2022 January 30, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Jacob’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 28:10-16) 1/23/2022
Jacob is a model of a person who received God’s blessings and was used by God, albeit making many failures. From spiritual perspective, Jacob is too carnal and humanistic. It was to where he exudes human instincts. Although he speaks too quickly and lies easily, he lived well. It was almost incomprehensible how someone like him could receive God’s blessings and be used by God. However, the conclusion is that God eventually made someone like Jacob into God’s masterpiece and used him to save posterity, church, and world. This is the blessing of the gospel (Romans 1:16-17). People cannot change themselves with their will and strength. Therefore, God heals and transforms them with His power. God covers them with His righteousness because they are too damaged and dirty. God healed and formed Jacob throughout his entire life (recreation).
- Why did Jacob have no choice but to live a life of failure and suffering?
What standards must we look at people like that around us? If I currently live on that level, what kind of answers must I hold onto? We must have this standard and answer to stand as one who saves me, my family, my family line, and the world. The only reason Jacob suffered and failed was that he did not have the gospel (covenant).
1) Jacob did not have the gospel when he was young. It was the parent’s responsibility as well as his own.
Simply put, he had followed his parents to church (faith from the womb), but he did not know the gospel or had the gospel imprinted.
① First, there is a parent’s responsibility. God spoke when Jacob was in his mother’s womb as a twin (Genesis 25:25).
He did not refer to the two babies in the womb as babies. God said, “two nations.” As God has promised Abraham, He would bless them and make a great nation through them. He said that one would be stronger, and the older would serve the younger. This is God’s love, plan, and power. That is how we have been saved (Ephesians 1:3-5, 1 Corinthians 1:26-31).
② Hold onto this love, plan, and power of God. That is the gospel and covenant.
There is no need to compete with anyone, lie, and use humanism. The parents were unable to relay this. Thus, rightfully, the covenant could not be imprinted in Jacob. Knowledge and imprint (the standard for decisions and actions) are different. Later, when the father blessed the two sons, he chose the firstborn. It was not God’s will but his standard and a worldly standard.
2) There was no opportunity for the gospel to be rooted during Jacob’s youth.
① My lifestyle and life’s fruit are made depending on what is rooted in my life.
First, Jacob lived holding onto his mother’s skirt (overprotection). The father liked the game his son had hunted (Genesis 25:27-28). The parents favored different children (favoritism). Only physical things and scars had been rooted.
② Furthermore, Jacob deceived his brother and father and left the household early on, so he no longer had the opportunity to be trained.
This is why it is important for children to grow under parents who have the covenant and the church system.
3) Jacob lived with a nature that bound him to fail as an adult.
① What had been imprinted and rooted when he was young had become his life’s nature.
The start was Jacob’s deception of his father and brother. He lived his entire life by deceiving and being deceived (incidents he faced with his uncle’s household). The nine snares that Satan has crafted in life create a nature of failures.
② People who receive grace and blessings have a nature that bounds them to be so.
On the contrary, people who fail have a nature that has no choice but to fail (innate, formed during upbringing, created in my current environment). God desires to change our imprint, root, and nature throughout our entire life and make us God’s masterpiece.
- We cannot change ourselves with our will and resolution. Therefore, God gave us the gospel (God’s plan, method, and power).
1) God Himself confirmed this to us through the covenant. That is the passage.
① God confirmed it to Jacob when he was fleeing after deceiving his father and brother. It was so that Jacob may hold onto this as his life’s only.
God said, “I will give you the land on which you are lying.” This is the covenant of Canaan. It is the covenant of Christ. God said, “Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and the east, to the north and the south.” It is the covenant of conquest and victory. God said, “All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.” It is the covenant of world evangelization. God said, “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” It is the covenant of Immanuel.
② Why did God repeatedly say this to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?
Is it merely a repetition? No. God was imprinting His Word. God came to Jacob and gave him His Word. This is why the time to listen to the Word of the Gospel is important. That is when the covenant is imprinted, and faith is formed (Romans 10:17).
2) God made Jacob put down the roots of the gospel through all the problems and incidents he faced.
As we endure these times, He makes our everything (studies, work, business, pain, tears) become a blessing of uniqueness.
① There was no one else but God to look onto when he struggled for 14 years in his uncle’s household.
He received blessings through unprecedented methods (Genesis 30). When he returns, he comes back as a blessed family with 12 children.
② God sends angels when Jacob returns to Canaan with his family.
It says that they were God’s camp (army) sent to protect and fight for Jacob. This is the blessing of the throne.
③ Before meeting his brother, Jacob sent his family beforehand and knelt before God alone. It was the prayer of Jabbok River (Genesis 32:22-32).
Jacob’s hip was put out of joint, and his name changed from Jacob (he takes by the heel) to Israel (one who has prevailed with God).
④ Although a war breaks out with the Canaanites because of his daughter, he enjoys the blessing of being victorious without having to fight. This is the power of the light.
He went back to Bethel, where he had met God during his time as a fugitive, built an altar, and all fight ended (Genesis 35:1-5). There was an oath he made at Bethel (Genesis 28:20-22). It was the desire for uniqueness (My God, my worship, my finances). The covenant had already been given. If I live with a desire for God in my heart, He fulfills it (Philippians 2:13).
3) God changed all of Jacob’s nature as he went through those stages and made him a masterpiece (recreation).
In all problems and incidents, be victorious in the spiritual fight against my old internal self (scars, greed, humanism) (Ephesians 4:22-24, 1 Corinthians 15:31).
① The 12 tribes are established in his posterity. It was not merely a blessing of children. Disciples whom God would use were raised.
② Among the 12 sons, Joseph was raised as the summit of that age and works to revive the age arose.
③ Jacob was able to pray and bless the king of Egypt because of Joseph (Genesis 47:7-10).
Conclusion – God desires to heal and change my life, make it a masterpiece, and save the posterity, church, and world. May the gospel and covenant become your imprint, root, and nature throughout your whole life and stand as the witness of only, uniqueness, and recreation.
Jacob’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 28:10-16) 1/23/2022 January 23, 2022The 24 Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Isaac’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 26:1-5) 1/16/2022
We must notice from the passage that it begins by saying another famine had come while referring to the famine during Abraham’s time (verse 1). These problems are a present reality and the future that we who live in this age must prepare for. The Lord has already predicted that the world will grow more difficult (Matthew 24). The COVID pandemic has been going on for two years. No one knows whether it will end this year. What is sure is that we will continue to face even more significant problems. People are also preparing for this. That is the core of the 4th Industrial Revolution. They aim to advance technology, medicine, and science and conquer diseases and space. Will that be the answer for individuals, humanity, and the future? It all depends on who will conquer that field. If those who only know money, power, and themselves seize the world, the world will only go further into destruction. Satan, who holds the powers and authorities of the world, will use that, and it says the world will be completely covered in darkness (Isaiah 61:1, 2 Timothy 3:1-12). God desires for us who have been saved first to conquer the world. That is how we will be able to go beyond merely saving ourselves but saving all nations and posterity. This does not end on earth. We are to save so that we may all enjoy the eternal things that God has prepared.
- What is the model of world conquest that Isaac shows us?
1) First, the famine did not matter. Instead, it says that Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold (verse 12).
The reason was that the Lord blessed him. Therefore, you must receive God’s blessings, the blessing of the throne. We who are saved have been given the right to receive this blessing. Set yourself as a vessel to enjoy the blessing of the throne.
2) The Devil sent envious people and caused various incidents. However, there was an even greater blessing (verses 14-25).
① A fight broke out whenever Isaac dug a well. Isaac won without fighting. He yielded in each situation and dug a well somewhere else, and there were even greater blessings there. This blessing was described in two significant ways. He received “a well of spring water” (verse 19). “The Lord has made room for us” (verse 22).
② People of faith actually enjoyed this blessing in history.
The representative people for that were the church of Mark’s Upper Room. They saved Samaria even amidst persecution (Acts 8:4-8), established the Antioch Church (Acts 11:19-21), and even saved Rome (Acts 23:11).
3) In the end, the enemies come and acknowledge Isaac (verses 26-33).
① Abimelech, the Philistine king, his friend Ahuzzath, and the commander of his army Phicol, came to him.
When we truly enjoy God’s blessing and answer, people will come to us. That is the life of a platform, spiritual watchtower, and spiritual antenna.
② Then, they acknowledged him as “You are now the blessed of the Lord.” That is how Isaac saved them (this is evangelism and missions).
May you enjoy blessings and answers to where those who persecute, criticize and interrupt the gospel acknowledges you. There is another gift you must receive at that time. It is the well of Beersheba (means “seven wells, “well of the oath”).
- How did Isaac receive this blessing and answer from God?
1) There were three things Isaac trained from a young age (covenant, prayer, specialty).
For this, remnants must train for three camps lifelong. Train throughout your entire life.
① It is a future camp. In other words, discover my life’s future in God’s covenant (absolute plan).
God, who is only and unique, has prepared my future. Life is a struggle because we lose hold of this. What is the covenant that God confirms? It is the covenant that we hear so often. Do not leave the land of Canaan that I have appointed (covenant of Christ). I will be with you (covenant of Immanuel). I will bless you and give this land to you and your offspring (covenant of conquest). All people and nations will be blessed through you and your offspring (covenant of posterity and world evangelization). We must train until this covenant becomes our imprint, root, and nature. It must be to where faith comes from this, and we are happy because of this.
② It is a prayer camp. We must have spiritual power when we do something important. The time to receive this very strength is prayer.
He planned on going to Egypt when a famine came, but he gave up at the last minute. This is not simply willpower. It is spirituality. Adversaries are giving me difficulty and persecution, but he yielded everything. This is not simply about character. It is spirituality. He could make a correct decision and yield everything even if it seemed like there would be an immediate loss. Train this strength daily (time of holy mediation, summit time). You must develop this while a remnant to be victorious in the world (Genesis 24:63).
③ It is a talent camp. We must be equipped with specialty and skills to where unbelievers acknowledge them.
Isaac’s specialty was digging up wells. How much training must he have done for there to be water whenever he dug land. He became a source of springs (uniqueness) because God helped and blessed him. He became a blessing of Rehoboth (globalism) and Beersheba (recreation). In the beginning, it said that he dug the wells that Abraham had dug again (verse 18). He had learned from running errands and obeying his father.
2) It is the background that the parents had prepared for Abraham.
God attaches someone to bless us (parents, teacher, pastor, church officer).
① All parents need to resolve and challenge themselves to become the greatest spiritual background for their children.
God emphasized this three times whenever He blessed Isaac (verses 3,5, 24). My prayers and dedication will all become a platform for posterity. This is the greatest privilege that parents have.
② The tears shed for the gospel and the posterity will surely become fruits of joy (Psalms 126:6).
Those are not tears of pain or sorrow. Those are tears shed by faith and tears shed while looking at the future. Many historical figures came from this (Jochebed’s tears, Hannah’s tears, Monica’s tears).
3) The experience of Mt. Moriah that Isaac experienced when he was a remnant (Genesis 22:1-18).
There are three spiritual meanings within the experience of Mt. Moriah where God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, which he was given to him at the age of a hundred.
① It was a time of examining Abraham’s faith and resolution one last time. Only son Isaac that he had at 100 years old, it could have been means of temptation.
God said there, “I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld you son, your only son, from me” (Genesis 22:12).
② It was a time of testing Isaac’s faith and obedience. Isaac was a teenager when his father tried to slay him with a knife.
He considered that as God’s will and quietly obeyed(Disciple). God desired to see that at a decisive moment.
③ This eventually became a model of Christ, who died on Mt. Calvary.
It was a prediction of the love of God the Father that gave His Son and a reflection of Christ who quietly obeyed that. Live with the faith that our small devotion and obedience fulfill God’s work and that it can be the work to revive this age.
Conclusion – Challenge yourself so that a posterity like this may arise through me. Remnants, hold onto the covenant that you are the Isaac of this age and be victorious.
Isaac’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 26:1-5) 1/16/2022 January 16, 2022The Field of the Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Abraham’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 12:1-8) 1/9/2022
The second model of world conquest is Abraham. May you live the life of a conqueror and victor in all problems and environments this year. The people we consider as models were not perfect in a human sense. They had many weaknesses and failures compared to others. The Bible records them to show that even we can enjoy that blessing regardless of our weaknesses.
Let us look at what weaknesses Abraham had. That is how we can have no excuses.
First, the background of his region, family, and the family line was not good. His father, Terah, was a man who made and worshiped idols in the Ur of the Chaldeans, which was where the Tower of Babel once was (Joshua 24:2). He had no background of faith nor a societal and financial background. He was realistic more than anyone else and would negotiate anything for his own profit. When there was a famine, he went to Egypt and even sent his wife to the king (Genesis 13:1-20). He even received gifts through that. God had told Abraham that He would give him a descendant and make him a successor of the covenant, but he eventually used humanism and bore a son, Ishmael.
- How did this Abraham become a model of conquest that saved himself, his family line, church, and the world?
1) He was chosen in God’s absolute grace.
“For he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him” (Isaiah 51:2). “He was but one” means that he had no background or good conditions. “Called him” signifies God’s one-sided choice, and that is called a calling/choice of grace. This is the blessing of salvation. God reconfirmed this blessing whenever the Israelites lost hold of God's choice of grace and continuously fell into self-arrogance and physical things (Deuteronomy 33:29, Isaiah 43:1). God has saved us in the same way in this age (Ephesians 1:3-5).
2) Although he made many mistakes and failures even after being saved, Abraham was training to hold onto that grace by faith truly.
He became a man of faith that God acknowledged as he went through various problems and incidents (Romans 4:1-3). Everything Abraham faced was an absolute time schedule and absolute method to train Abraham. Do you face hardship? Are you faced with a crisis? Make it into an opportunity to change, renew and start anew every day. God never gives up on us under any circumstances. He does not leave us to perish. Thus, we are the "remaining ones."
- Absolutely hold onto three covenants and make time to draw deeper to God every day (“pilgrim”).
1) It is a covenant for me. God desires to raise me as a witness and masterpiece. Enjoy that through 24 hours (“my 24 hours”).
The personal covenant that God gave Abraham is important. Hold onto the covenant God has given me before saving my family, family line, and the world.
① Who is the covenant from? God the Creator. The Triune God who reigns over all creation on the heavenly throne.
It is a covenant that He gave me as He chose me and called me by name. He will fulfill His promise.
② How does God fulfill it? He has promised the five powers to us who are nothing but lacking and weak. Is it a time of weakness? Make it into an opportunity to deeply experience God's grace that makes you stronger in weakness like Paul (2 Corinthians 12:9). Your spiritual background, heart, thoughts, finances, and even health may be weak. Abraham is a model who enjoyed this blessing. Even if Abraham made a mistake, God sent an angel, protected him, and made it into a blessing that transcended time and space.
③ What was the covenant that was given to Abraham? Simply put, it was the “covenant of the source of blessings” (verse 2).
Who is the source of everything? It is God. He calls me the “blessing” of this age (Galatians 3:14). He has raised me as the person of sources, the original person. What is the specific content for that? He says He will bless me, make my name great, and make me into a great nation. He will bless those who bless me and curse those who curse me. What is this for? It is because all nations on earth must be blessed. This is the covenant of sources, the true conqueror's covenant. What comes from this is the blessing of the platform, watchman's watchtower, and antenna. These are all the things that must be transmitted from me. Hold onto this covenant of sources and do 24 hours. Look upon Him, seek Him, depend on Him, and give thanks through 24 hours.
2) It is a covenant for the church. This is God’s method of blessing me. Enjoy that through 24 hours (church 24 hours).
What are the two things Abraham, who received the covenant, did best?
① He followed the Word (verse 4). God accurately gave him answers, strengthened him, healed him, and led him to victory through the Word along the way. The most important blessing to enjoy through the church is the blessing of the pulpit, the blessing of the Word (Ezekiel 47:1-12, Acts 2:42). This is why deacons were raised in the early church so that the elders could fully devote themselves to the Word (Acts 6:4,7).
② Abraham built an altar (verse 7). He looked upon God, who had come to Him and gave worship.
We meet the God of the Throne in all worship and conquer the world as we enjoy the nine blessings. My spirit is revived every time I hold onto the Word through worship, the breath of life forms, and the blessing of Eden is restored. The power of the throne takes place, and the power of the light that transcends time and space and breaks darkness is revealed. You enjoy the unprecedented blessing in yourself, church, and field lifelong. That was Abraham’s life.
③ The church is a reflection/shadow of enjoying this blessing of the heavenly throne. It is the place to enjoy in advance the throne that you will enjoy one day.
It said that Satan would destroy the church and do evil works in the last days (Revelation 12:17). Do not be deceived. We are those who will revive the church (Matthew 16:18). Our remnants are especially those who will protect and raise the church to the end. Therefore, we must have three camps for the remnants (future camp, prayer camp, talent camp).
3) It is a covenant for the field. This is why God needs to bless me and the conclusion. Enjoy that through 24 hours (field 24 hours).
① What was the conclusion to God calling Abraham into Canaan? It was to save Canaan and the world. In Canaan, the twelve tribes that represent the Old Testament were established through Abraham's descendants, and that is where Christ came from. That very gospel eventually came to us, and that is how the world evangelization to save the 237 nations and 5,000 people groups began.
② For this, Abraham built an altar everywhere he went (Genesis 12:8, 13:4, 21:33).
He made all fields become a temple. That is the ministry of the 70 persons regional churches.
③ Then, Abraham saved Canaan completely. This is true conquest.
He led 318 trained men into Sodom and saved the king of Sodom and his nephew Lot (Genesis 14:14-16)- the blessing of the economy of light.
When he met with the Philistine King and blessed him and prayed for him, it said that the women could bear children (Genesis 20:17-18) – healing ministry.
When his wife passed, he went to Hebron and held the funeral there. That place became Jerusalem (Genesis 23:15-20) – preparation of the future.
Conclusion – We are those who will enjoy Abraham’s blessing in this age (Galatians 3:19). May you surely become the main figures of this blessing.
Abraham’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 12:1-8) 1/9/2022 January 9, 2022The 24 Hrs Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Noah’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 6:8-16) 1/2/2022
Noah was the first model individual to hold onto the covenant and live a life of conquest after the fall of Adam. The age of Noah was no different than the age we live in now. The world was in such complete corruption and ruins that God needed to bring judgement and start over (5-7). This is when Noah enjoyed three blessings. These are the blessings that we must enjoy until Christ returns to bring judgement over the world and begin a new heaven and earth.
First, he enjoyed the things that God gave. Everything that comes from God is “grace” (8). To maintain ourselves and conquer the world in this evil age, we need to enjoy this blessing. Grace began when we learned about Christ and received salvation (Ephesians 2:8-8). Within that lies God’s unconditional and unlimited love, absolute power, and absolute answers. Five powers and blessings of the throne are in there. Paul was able to enjoy this blessing and be used for world evangelization (1 Corinthians 15:10).
Second, he made a masterpiece out of those things that God gave. That was the ark. Many scholars have studied the ark. It is surprising that the construction of the ark was even possible in that age. God led him and gave precise instructions for the material, method, and the size of the ark. Even now, God is precisely guiding and leading our lives with the Gospel and his Word. This is why the Gospel must become our imprint, root, and nature. Only then will even our smallest things become a masterpiece that will revive this age (Romans 1:16-17).
Third, with the ark that was his masterpiece, he was able to save himself, his family and household, and ultimately the age.
- How was Noah able to enjoy this blessing and stand as a conqueror that saved the world in that age?
Verse 9 gives us the answer. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
1) “a righteous man” means he held onto God’s righteousness (Romans 3:10).
2) “blameless” means he enjoyed God’s grace and power.
3) “walked with God” means everyday he led a life that stayed close to God moved with Him. During the one life we live, who we meet and walk with will determine our entire life. That is the walk of faith. How should we walk with God?
- There are three ways by which we can walk with God. It is something Noah and all people of God enjoyed.
1) Noah followed God’s Word. This year, design a life that follows God’s Word.
① God is a spirit so we cannot see Him. The secret to walking with Him is holding onto His Word. That is when we can feel and experience God. Everything – God’s love, plan, power, and conclusion – is within His Word. God breathed in His life into His Word (2 Timothy 3:16). God teaches us, rebukes us, corrects us, and trains us (2 Timothy 3:16). Without the Word, we live and by our own level and standards, by the world’s level and standards that make us suffer.
② Experience holding onto the pulpit as God’s Word that becomes fulfilled in your life. There must be a Word of God that works within you during the week. You must have a time to meditate upon it (Psalm 1:2-3). Even if you hold onto few core things as the covenant that God has given you through his Word, you will be living a different life on a different level. Noah did not live however he wanted to, however he thought best, or build the ark however he thought he should. That is why it became a masterpiece.
③ Try to memorize the 52 important gospel verses this year. One verse a week will make 52 in a year. We will include them in our bulletin.
In your daily life, whenever you need to make an important decision, or when you face a crisis, there must be God’s Word that can lead you.
2) Noah held onto the Word and looked to God every moment. This year, make your life into a one that deeply looks to God.
① There probably have been many different types of people around Noah. There may have been individuals with great intellect and rationale. Others may have fallen into secular and physical pleasure. Nothing probably made sense in their perspective. Many others probably ridiculed and criticized Noah. Perhaps Noah was bullied. Building an ark because judgement was to come was probably beyond unintellectual, irrational, and unscientific.
② I am sure Noah was discouraged from time to time. However, he looked to God each time (scheduled prayer, concentrated prayer).
Looking to God begins with acknowledging Him. It begins with acknowledging that He is our creator, our savior, and the master of our lives. We are acknowledging that everything will be done according to His will, and that He will be responsible for our lives. God’s will for us is never evil (Romans 8:28). It is higher than our thoughts, and deeper than our standards (Isaiah 55:9). He will turn everything into evidence (Acts 1:8). We are looking to. God already knowing the conclusion.
③ This year, train yourself to discard all resentment and complaints, and turn everything into thanksgiving (24 prayer). That is true worship. (Psalm 50:23), and true prayer (Philippians. 4:6-7). That is when the darkness will be bound, and all doors will open (Revelation 3:8).
3) Noah lived as that evangelist. (2 Peter 2:5). Make your life into a one that is used for evangelism and missions the most this year.
① Evangelism means you are giving the answer to the world, and relaying God’s desire. God’s desire is for everyone to be saved from destruction. The answer is Christ. All you need to do is tell them about Christ and his three authorities accurately. The ark signifies Christ. You can save anyone. Inside that ark, you are freed from all curses (Priest). Inside the ark, evil spirits will no longer be able to harm you (King). While in the ark, God has prepared a future for all those inside (Prophet).
② We are shy, and afraid of ridicule, persecution, and isolation.
The Early Church was determined to evangelize even in the face of death. There are people like this in the Muslim religion and communist regimes. There are separate blessings for those who confess and speak of Christ before the world.
③ Challenge yourself so that even your pain and failures, and all that you do will become evidence and masterpiece that glorifies God (Acts 1:8).
In important answers and positions, testify that the one who made your life into a masterpiece is Christ. God will attach individuals who need to hear your testimony (platform). Darkness will crumble (watchman). Blessings will be relayed (antenna).
Conclusion – May the new year be a time in which all our individual lives become God’s masterpiece to conquer and revive the world and our fields.
Noah’s Conquest of the World (Genesis 6:8-16) 1/2/2022 January 2, 20222022 New Year Message Me, Church, Field 24 : 1/1/2022
Disciple Who Conquers the World (Genesis 1:26-28)
Among the three ways the believers must go, the covenant our church will be focusing on this year is the way of the conqueror, the evangelist’s journey. The church is crumbling, and problems come to the world because the people of God are losing hold of this blessing. This is Satan’s strategy. The Devil led man to fake conquests. Thus, the word “conquer” has a difficult and negative connotation. First, the term “conquer” fell into the act of creating a world centered on humans (event of Genesis 3). The start to this was ideals. What is the core of communism? People share and possess everything together and create a paradise on earth. What is the core of capitalism? The economy needs to be at the center for happiness to come. There were conquest wars in the name of religion. New Age believes that these ideals, religion, and even God are unnecessary and that I need to deeply find myself and become the center of the universe and world. Second, Satan distorted mankind through conquests. It said there were mighty men in the Nephilim Age. The history of humanity is that these individuals led wars, plundered, brought captives, and made them their slaves. Third, humans fell to filling their endless greed for the world (Babel Tower of Genesis 11). They perceived conquest as worldly success, making their name known and gaining fame and authority. These are Satan’s masterpieces that have distorted what “conquer” is. The problem is that even believers live at this level.
- What is the meaning of “conquer” that God desires?
1) Enjoy the things that God has given. That is why He tells us first to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.
① He tells us to bear fruit even in the small things we do, multiply every day, and live a full life without any lacking.
Humans were deceived by the Devil, separated from God, and lost hold of everything God had given them.
② The human form that is bound to live antithetically is the curse of the original sin of Genesis 3. It says that even the ground was cursed and
We restore this original blessing when we are delivered from all our sin and curses through Christ.
2) Develop what God has given, make that into a masterpiece, and reveal God’s glory.
① We cannot create. We develop what God has created (Cultural Mandate).
He has given us tremendous power to do that (talent). The issue is that many people do not know what kind of power they have or live with it buried.
② Look at the world now. These people are moving the world. They have become witnesses that can do so even without God.
Therefore, God desires to make the lives of believers a masterpiece and reveal God’s glory to the whole world.
3) Save the age, church, and posterity with that very masterpiece.
① There is hope in the world when these figures (summits) among God’s people who have the covenant come forth. This is the original purpose of creation.
Science, medicine, and everything have advanced in the world, but endless suffering and curses continue. Why did this happen?
② That is the curse of original sin, the works of Satan, that began with the separation from God. The Gospel is the answer that was given for this.
After the world is revived through this gospel and preached to the end of the earth, a new heaven and earth begin. Those used for this are called disciples, and the works they do are called world evangelization (Matthew 28:18-20).
- How will you restore this blessing? Find God’s absolute covenant in three things. True conquest will begin.
1) It is the covenant of what God has given me.
① It is God’s absolute plan for my life. We were not born on earth by chance.
From the very beginning, God created humans to conquer and rule the world God has created (verse 26).
② God gave His absolute power to fulfill the absolute plan.
It says that God created us in His image (verse 27). There are three things in God’s image. The power of creation is the spirituality that communicates with God, enjoying God’s things, having God’s heart and character for the world, and developing what God has created (talent, spiritual gifts). There is something God has given to me only. There is something that He has given to only my children. Things do not work out because you do not find what God has given to you only, and instead, compare yourself and give excuses. The method to deeply enjoy these three things is the filling of the Holy Spirit. Make a time of concentration to enjoy this filling of the Holy Spirit (scheduled worship, scheduled prayer).
③ He has given us the absolute blessing to become the summit who conquers and rules the world (verse 28, “blessed and said”).
Even now, we simply need to enjoy the God-given blessings regardless of how lacking and powerless we are. That is the nine blessings of the throne. Enjoy this through 24-hour prayer. It will surely connect to 25 and eternity.
2) It is the covenant God has given for my occupation.
① Challenge yourself with small things. Make it into a masterpiece to give glory to God.
Whether you live as a slave like Joseph, herd sheep like David, or be a public official like Daniel, make a resolution of “only God’s glory” and challenge yourself. People around them were blessed because of them, and no one could fault them.
② Challenge yourself with what you are doing now. It is merely about making it the best. It becomes uniqueness.
Uniqueness comes if spirituality is restored in prayer. Make it a year in which you pray the most (Edison’s key to success).
③ Challenge yourself to the future. It will be difficult to do great things if you look at only what is immediate and remain in the small greed.
Whether in the workplace, church, or world, grow the spirituality to see what is needed in advance (Joel 2:28). Yielding to others, devoting yourself silently, and all the offering you give to God are acts of scattering seeds for the future.
3) It is the covenant God has given for my future.
① Resolve everything as evangelism that saves everything and missions that save the world.
This is why I must hold onto the accurate gospel and Word. That becomes the message to revive others. Why do these pain and problems come to me? It is for you to share the answer that you have held onto and the evidence that has been given to you. Globalize all thoughts, meetings, and works and concentrate on the multiethnic (Isaiah 62:10, Matthew 28:18-20).
② Become victors of spiritual warfare. Christ has promised victory. That is how we can save the world (Mark 16:17-20).
Christ has already triumphed, and our role, talent, and spiritual gifts were given to us as trophies of war (Ephesians 4:7-12).
③ Find the one disciple while enjoying this blessing. Especially, devote yourself to the work of raising the remnant disciple who will go together in the future.
There must be at least one remnant who lives in my support (prayer, finances, specialty). Try to do missions, internships, and forums properly.
Conclusion: The fourth industrial revolution age is rapidly coming. We must make the spiritual revolution age that conquers the world with the gospel above that. That is how everything can be revived. May this be a new year in which you deeply enjoy the answer of the disciple who conquers the world.
Disciple Who Conquers the World (Genesis 1:26-28) Genesis 1:26-28
