Christ Who Took the Nature of a Servant(Philippians 2:1~11)

  Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped(6) 

Hymn #310 I Know Not Why God's Wondrous Grace(Unified Hymn 410)

  You must change hardships and sufferings into the greatest blessing. Even amidst sufferings, Paul said, “Present your request to God with thanksgiving.” It’s because he firmly believed that his suffering was part of God’s time schedule of preventing disasters from befalling Israel and Rome. Also, just with Joseph alone, he was able to stop a global crisis by holding onto God’s covenant. Even the suffering that Moses and the Israelites faced turned into their greatest opportunity. The trials that came to David became the very means through which he saved Israel and the world, as well as blocked the forces of darkness. The 7 Remnants and the people of Hebrews 11 were witnesses of this. When great suffering comes your way, you simply need to discover an even greater plan and answers God has in store for you. John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim’s Progress while he was in prison and william Barclay once said, “The suffering Paul faced was the greatest privilege God gave to Paul.” Charles Spurgeon even described it as, “Rome and the prison were the ones imprisoned to Paul.”

1. Christ Who Came as the Solution to Life and Disasters(Philippians 2:6~8) 
  Christ suffered to take care of every curse and disaster you face. The moment you believe this fact, your destiny(Matthew 11:28~30) and direction in life will begin to change(Matthew 4:19).

2. Christ Who Came as Your Lord(Philippians 2:9~11) 
  Therefore, you must reclaim your identity(John 1:12, 5:24), authority(John 1:12), and power(Acts 1:3, 8). It’s because you have been called as a watchman for the works of God’s Kingdom, as well as the one to establish Bartizans, embark on the Journeys, and raise Guideposts along the way. 

3. Christ Who is the Master of Your Life(Philippians 2:5) 
  Christ must be the one who leads your life. The resurrected Christ said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.”(Matthew 28:18~20). He also said, “Go into all the world and drive out demons in My name.”(Mark 16:15~20) God has called you to be a watchman who raises the Bartizans, relays the light along the Journeys， and raises Guideposts, which is the absolute bartizan, at the Mt. of Olives. This was fulfrlled at Mark’s upper room(Acts 1:3).

  For this， you must make a 24, 25, and Eternal resolution to heal poverty and illnesses. You must also make a 300% resolution to prepare yourself, the field, and for the future. Lastly, you must make a resolution of world evangelization to save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be the start. May the evidence be revealed in the place that is the most difficult in my life. May my weaknesses be the place where Your power is revealed.
