The Reason Why Positions Have Been Entrusted(1 Timothy 1:12~20)
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service(12).
Hymn #520 Whosoever Heareth, Shout, Shout the Sound(Unified Hymn 257)
As churches usher in the age of 1,000 bartizans, what's the reason why God has entrusted you with your position? God couldn't use Romans, Pharisees, or politicians to evangelize the world. Instead, He called the people of Galilee, Paul, and the people of Romans 16. Today, He has called you as the one to relay the Gospel and considers you faithful. When Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" They answered, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." At that time, Peter confessed, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." You also need this confession. God needs people who know Christ and will relay the Gospel to the end. To them, God will pour out all blessings. (Matthew 16:17~19) Just like in the past, you now in an age of conflicts; spiritual problems; and church problems. God has called specifically called you for this time.
1. One Person Who Blocked the Age of Disasters
Just like Joseph, you just need to find God's blessings and answers in the little tasks that you I do today(Genesis 45:1~5). By knowing what the blood sacrifice; Satan; and disasters are, you'll be fine(Exodus 3:18). There are answers regarding the situations that don't work out(1 Samuel 1:9~11 - The Answer of the Nazarite). David's faith and enjoyment were always the same. Moreover, just three people who communicated the covenant prevented disasters(Obadiah, Elijah, & Elisha). These were the Remnants of Babylon and the people of Romans 16 who held onto the covenant.
2. One Team That Blocked the Age of Persecutions
Because Paul was a vessel that was specifically chosen for this(Acts 9:15), important people began to appear wherever Paul went. He went to Philippi, Thessalonica, Corinth, Ephesus, and Rome and overcame the age of persecution.
3. The 0.1 Percent of People Who Prepared for the Age of the Next Generation
These people followed the important guideposts of the covenant which were Calvary(John 19:30), the Mt. of Olives(Acts 1:3) ,Mark's upper room(Acts 2:1~47), Antioch(Acts 11:19), Asia(Acts 13:1~4), Macedonia(Acts 16:6~10), and Rome(Acts 19:21) . Ultimately, they carried out world evangelization.
Despite persecutions or difficulties, if those who've received positions gain answers from the Bible, they'll change the world. Elders can do “prayer 24” for the 1,000 bartizans and three courtyards, ordained deacons can pray for the age of Friday; Saturday; and Sunday, and senior deaconesses can pray for field Darakbangs to arise. By doing so, these will be imprinted in their brains and soul, and "The Throne's Blessing" and "The Throne's Power" will have no choice but to come.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may the 1,000 bartizans and three courtyards that desire the most be raised. Truly, may the age of Friday; Saturday; and Sunday and "The RUTC Movement" take place. I pray that through believers, the unseen field evangelism movement will arise. Even today and this week, may it be the precious time when I'm clothed with new grace. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
