Those Who Can Do Evangelism and Missions(Acts 11:18)
When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”(18)
Hymn #295 Of Jesus’ Love that Sought Me(Unified Hymn 417)
God spoke about world evangelization, but Abraham didn’t fully believe it. However, through Joseph, world evangelization was fulfilled(Genesis 37:11, 45:1~5), and through Moses(Exodus 2:1~10), the works of the Exodus took place(Exodus 14:19). The Mizpah movement arose through Samuel(1 Samuel 7:1~15) and Hannah’s prayer(1 Samuel 1:9~11), and David defeated the Philistines(1 Samuel 17:1~47). In Babylon, those who held onto the covenant relayed God’s works(Daniel 3:8~24, 6:10~22). Esther saved her nation and opened the doors to world evangelization(Esther 4:1~15). Moreover, the works seen in Acts 13, 16, and 19 are still continuing today. Likewise, those who hold onto the covenant and have faith can carry out evangelism and missions, but those who are bound by the past and present atmosphere, public opinion, systems, customs, traditions, and legalism can’t carry out missions like the Jewish people(Acts 11:1~18). If that’s so, how did the Antioch Church carry out world evangelization?
1. The Scattered Ones
These were people who changed their own destiny and the destiny of others. From the day Abraham understood the Word God gave to him(Genesis 12:1~3), his destiny was changed(Genesis 13:18). Even the 7 Remnants held onto this covenant and changed their fates. They were the commissioned ones, those who remained, and the conquerors.
2. The Grace of the Lord was Visible
This Word meant they opened their eyes to the three perspectives God gave. The Gospel turns the past, present, and future into blessings. It turns problems, conflicts, and crises into answers. It’s about restoring the Bartizan, Journey, and Guideposts of the Throne that Christ has given. The Throne is your background.
3. A Great Number of Disciples - Those Who Saw 24, 25, and Eternity
The Lord, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, promised that He’d always be with you until the end of the age(Matthew 28:1~20). Thus, those who are demon possessed and those who are sick are healed wherever you go(Mark 16:15~20). Persecution actually became the beginning(Acts 1: 1~14), and those who opened their eyes to this gathered at Antioch Church.
God works through His Word even in the midst of crisis when you pray(Acts 27:24). No one can stop the Gospel(Acts 28:30~31 ), and God gives what He had kept hidden(Romans 16:25~27) when you c때arry the Gospel to the ends of the earth(Romans 15:23).

[Bible Reading] Isaiah 45:1~25.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I thank You for granting me the works of saving the entire world. I also thank You for giving this to the Remnants and for opening the way to save the 5,000 tribes. From this moment on, help me to stand before the works of Your power. Bless me to live a new life. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
