?Things to offer to the Lord?
(Exodus 35:4~9)
Introduction
Today, we will look at God?s Word regarding things we must offer to God. While we are living our lives, if we cannot sense that we are truly thankful for God?s grace, what would happen? When we get sick, we realize the importance of health. The many people who knew the importance of salvation among the Israelites saved all of Israel. God led the Israelites out from Egypt. He led them through the wilderness. While traveling through the wilderness, God gave the Israelites the mystery of the three feasts. We must reawaken ourselves to see how thankful we must be for God?s grace. God gives us this command today: ?Gather all of the things that you want to give to the Lord and complete the tabernacle.? There are three characteristics - He said to do it voluntarily. Then, He said to determine what they wanted to give. Third, He said to consider which jewels they would give to build the tabernacle. We need to think to ourselves, ?What can I give to God?? There are a few reasons why God commanded the Israelites to offer their jewels, despite their hard circumstances.
1. There is a reason for us to realistically see God?s evidences in our lives.
We are the saved children of God. In order to do world evangelization, we must first see God?s evidence in our lives. This is the first covenant of God that we must grab hold of. When things were most difficult, God gave this command. He should have told them to build the tabernacle when they arrived in Canaan, but He commanded them to build the tabernacle when it was most difficult. The Israelites haven?t even arrived in Canaan, and God instructed them to go quickly and build the tabernacle. In the same way, God told the members of Mark?s upper room to go and make disciples of all nations when they were in the most difficult time. In this critical point when the Israelites were walking through the wilderness, God told them to gather their jewels and to give them to God. God wanted them to experience His power.
2. We must seek out the way for us to live our walk of faith the best.
There is a second thing that we must consider today. We must find the way for us to live our walk of faith the best. In today?s Scripture reading, verse 4 says that the individuals chose to give to God willingly. Verse 9 speaks about jewels. What is this talking about? We must give the most precious thing to God. There are many conditions for determining whether we are living our walk of faith well or not. However, we are speaking about the most precious thing. As the Israelites came out from Egypt, I?m sure that every one of the wives had a few jewels in their possession. God wanted them to offer that to Him. This doesn?t mean for us to go home and dig up the jewels that we have hidden. If you see how someone spends their money, you can see their state. If you look at what another person considers to be their most precious jewel, you can know their state. Today?s Scripture reading speaks about the most precious thing in our lives. God is in charge of our lives; can you not understand this. We do everything else, but this. We consider everything else important, except for this. It?s not just about whether or not we are going to give precious things to God. We must remember, ?Who is the One in control of our lives? What is even more important is the third point.
3. There is something that our future generations must enjoy.
How will you teach your children? Before our Remnants go out into the world, they must possess the blessing of the three feasts. They must understand the blessing of the Passover, the Pentecost, and the Ingathering. They must go out with the strength to live every day. Today?s Scripture reading speaks about building the tabernacle for this purpose. We must also teach our Remnants the meaning of the four offerings (tithe, church construction, RUTC, and world missions). In doing so, we must help them to conquer the world. You must make this your life on the covenant. I want to teach the Remnants not to chase after success, but to become individuals who are capable of success. I want to teach the Remnants not to chase after money, but to become individuals who are capable of moving money. All of our church lay leaders and businesspeople must gain the strength that God grants to you. You must gain the strength that God gives. You are more than precious. You need to gain the strength that God gives in order to revive others.
Conclusion
When we say that we are living our walk of faith, we just think that it is about crying out to God and relying on Him. That is really incorrect thinking. Having received salvation and living our walk of faith means to correctly enjoy the blessing of salvation that God has given to us. It is to seek out the talent and the life that God has given to us. You must equip yourself to save your situation, your family, and to save the world. That is Christian living. I tell Remnants not to compromise, even if they don?t succeed in the world. To the many Remnants who are studying music, I tell them not to compromise. If you are in the seat of success, success will follow. The first thing that Jewish people teach their children is God; the second thing they teach is finances. That?s why they can conquer the world. Today, may you grab hold of this as your prayer topic. Today, may you hold onto the evidence. I have the evidence that no matter what situation comes, God will bring victory to His children. Firmly hold onto this covenant today. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today, you may truly receive strength to be able to challenge against this today. May all of the churches worshiping together with us truly experience the new grace of God. In this time of worship, I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that the greatest blessings may come upon you.

God, we thank You. Grant us new strength. Help us to enjoy the mystery of God that other people do not know. Give us the knowledge and the strength to know God who is in control of our lives. Grant us the evidence to save the unbelievers. Especially, we believe you will give us financial evidences. In Jesus Christ?s name we pray. Amen.

?The mystery hidden for long ages past?
(Romans 16:25~27)
Introduction
What is the difference between God and man? There are many differences, but perhaps one of the greatest differences is that man is mortal and God is eternal. However, as humans, our souls do not just disappear, so we, too, can be seen as eternal. Today?s title is ?The mystery hidden for long ages past,? and we must receive this answer today. Remnants, before you go out into the world, you need to have strength. That is why you must do a few things first. You must absolutely exercise for at least an hour a day. Also, there is medical evidence. You must absolutely do deep breathing exercises for at least 10 minutes. It would be great if you could do these three times a day. This is imperative for our students to do. This can bring about a great healing power for depression or spiritual problems. Especially, if you feel that you have a lack of power or energy, you must do this. In addition, you must sit quietly and pray for about 10 minutes a day. Then, surely, the evidences will come. Even if you just pray 10 minutes a day, you will see the work of God. If you really do these three things, great healing will happen. This is my testimony of how I manage my health.
1. Inside of the Gospel, you must receive three strengths every day.
Every day, you must gain the strength of prayer. Then, every day, you must receive strength from the Word of God that will follow naturally. Then, you will gain strength because of the evidences that come. Anybody can do this, and you can surely receive this answer because you are children of God. If you are able to do the three things I spoke about in the introduction, then you can absolutely do these three things as well. Can you truly receive strength in prayer? You can absolutely receive strength, especially if you can simultaneously do the three things that I spoke about in the introduction. Then, what is prayer? We continue to face problems, but if we continue to pray regarding that problem, the answers will come. Today and tomorrow, and every single day, we must gain the strength of prayer. From that point on, because the evidences will be given to you, you will gain strength. We have a body, a spirit, and a mind. If your body is weak and you do not exercise, how can you pray? If you don?t have strength in your spirit and mind, and depression keeps coming to you, how can you pray? You can heal your depression by doing the three things I spoke about in the introduction. You must gain strength every day. You are surely the children of God. The Remnants are absolutely the children of God. Then, you can receive this answer. You shouldn?t think so much. If you keep thinking too much, you will be caught up in your own thoughts. Instead, you must enter into prayer (Acts 1:14). Instead of thinking a lot, you must pray a lot. That is why God will begin to guard your hearts and your minds (Philippians 4:7). Then, at this point, you will be able to see the plan of God (Acts 19:21). This is not difficult. Because you are a child of God, just invest 10 minutes of your day to pray. Remnants, you must understand this. These were the blessings that our 7 Remnants enjoyed. Without exception, may all of you enjoy this blessing of God.
2. From this point on, we can get rid of the curses that are upon us for long ages past.
Just as there are blessings that are upon us for long ages past, there are also curses upon us for long ages past. Genesis 1:2 speaks about the darkness, emptiness, and formlessness. This is the curse that was in existence before the creation of the world. That is why the unbelievers cannot escape their fate. John 8:44 says that unbelievers are the children of the devil. That is why they go to people who are demon-possessed to get their fortunes told. They haven?t been able to escape from this state, and this is their reality. Because they are serving demons, they are worshiping idols (Exodus 20:3~5). Then, unseen to our eyes, they are diseased in their hearts and minds (Matthew 11:28). That is why just like Acts 8:4~8, they face diseases in their physical body. Luke 16:19~31 says that people will all face a death. Then, this curse is passed on to their children (Matthew 27:25). This is the state that unbelievers are in. We have completely escaped from this, and yet, the traces of this state still remain. I am speaking about the blessing of being completely freed from this. We must completely eradicate the curses that remain. The curses, suffering, and pain of our forefathers must not be relayed to our next generation. We are speaking about the great work of cutting off those curses that may go down to our children. May you believe in the fact that the curses that were once yours will not go down to your children.
3. Then, we must discover the blessings that were upon us for long ages past.
This blessing was given to us from the very start. The light shone upon the darkness, emptiness, and formlessness (Genesis 1:3). God has given us the status of being a child of God. He has also given us the authority that goes along with our status. The moment you become a child of God, the Holy Spirit is with you, inside of you, will guide you, and work in you. Then, what kind of authority is given to you? The forces of darkness will crumble down. If you are aware of this and begin to pray, the forces of darkness will be driven out. The moment you realize this, the armies of angels will go ahead of you, and God?s kingdom will be established. Because of you, your workplaces will be revived and everything will be revived. That is when disciples will arise. These are the 7 blessings that have been prepared for you since long ages past. May these blessings be relayed to our children. That is the completion. Now, our church lay leaders must open their eyes to see where they must raise up the regional church. If you do this, God will grant everything to you, even if you do not ask God.
Conclusion
The Romans 16 individuals received this blessing. Because you are workers for world evangelization, you too must receive this answer. Remnants, you must remember. The moment you step out into the world, it is not easy. That is why, starting now, ahead of time, you must gain this strength. From this point, if you are aware of this, you can take all of your problems and turn them into blessings. The moment you receive grace, there will be a new thing that drives you into a trial. Do not be deceived. You must possess this strength ahead of time. Take all of your problems and turn them into a blessing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16~18 says, ?Be joyful always, pray continually, and be thankful in all circumstances.? Then, the latter part of the verse says, ?For this is God?s will for you in Christ Jesus.? In other words, inside of those problems is God?s hidden will. Then, Philippians 1:9~10 says to discern what is best. We must be able to discern what is above common sense. Then, look at the7 Remnants. Joseph went into slavery, and this was his chance to learn finances. Joseph went into prison, and this was his change to learn politics. Joseph became the governor, and this was his opportunity to do world evangelization. David was on the run, and this was his chance to prepare himself. If you have a disease, it is your opportunity to experience God?s power. Everything is an opportunity for you. You must discover these blessings within your problems. Remnants, you must take this into the world. Then, of course you can be thankful?you can be thankful because everything is an opportunity that God has given to you and He has a will for you in all things. May you start with this blessing. All problems are opportunities for those who are in the Lord. Paul confessed, ?I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.? I bless you in the name of the Lord that our church lay leaders and Remnants may enjoy this blessing.

God, we thank You. May you grant us new strength, and open our eyes to new things. Help us to realize what we must rightfully realize to become people who save souls. May we become the witnesses to save our family line and the Remnants. In Jesus Christ?s name we pray. Amen.

You can absolutely receive strength, especially if you can simultaneously do the three things that I spoke about in the introduction. Then, what is prayer? We continue to face problems, but if we continue to pray regarding that problem, the answers will come. Today and tomorrow, and every single day, we must gain the strength of prayer. From that point on, because the evidences will be given to you, you will gain strength. We have a body, a spirit, and a mind. If your body is weak and you do not exercise, how can you pray? If you don?t have strength in your spirit and mind, and depression keeps coming to you, how can you pray? You can heal your depression by doing the three things I spoke about in the introduction. You must gain strength every day. You are surely the children of God. The Remnants are absolutely the children of God. Then, you can receive this answer. You shouldn?t think so much. If you keep thinking too much, you will be caught up in your own thoughts. Instead, you must enter into prayer (Acts 1:14). Instead of thinking a lot, you must pray a lot.

Without exception, may all of you enjoy this blessing of God.
2. From this point on, we can get rid of the curses that are upon us for long ages past.
Just as there are blessings that are upon us for long ages past, there are also curses upon us for long ages past. Genesis 1:2 speaks about the darkness, emptiness, and formlessness. This is the curse that was in existence before the creation of the world. That is why the unbelievers cannot escape their fate. John 8:44 says that unbelievers are the children of the devil.

We must completely eradicate the curses that remain. The curses, suffering, and pain of our forefathers must not be relayed to our next generation.

If you have a disease, it is your opportunity to experience God?s power. Everything is an opportunity for you. You must discover these blessings within your problems. Remnants, you must take this into the world. Then, of course you can be thankful?you can be thankful because everything is an opportunity that God has given to you and He has a will for you in all things. May you start with this blessing. All problems are opportunities for those who are in the Lord. Paul confessed, ?I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.? I bless you in the name of the Lord that our church lay leaders and Remnants may enjoy this blessing.
