?Explore the land to which you will go?
(Numbers 13:1-16)
♠Introduction
▶Today?s passage talks about how the Israelites stopped to examine themselves 38 years after coming out from Egypt. God commanded them to pick leaders from among all the tribes in order to carefully scout the land. However, after the report of the 10 scouts, all Israel fell into discouragement.
▶What must we hold on to from this?
1. Most believers lose when they go out into the field (they get deceived).
(1) As the Israelites lived in Egypt, as they were walking through the wilderness, and as they went to scout out the land of Canaan, they failed each time.
(2) All Christians are losing in the field.
(3) Many church lay leaders are looking here and there, trying to keep in line because they have no strength.
▶However, the people who lived their walk of faith correctly were all bold. If you receive the blessings of God, you have no choice but to be bold (Caleb, Joshua, Gideon, Daniel?s three friends, Early Church)
▶What must we do? ? We must realistically connect our blessings to the field through prayer.
2. Before we go out into the world, we must absolutely discover a few things.
(1) It is the strength of prayer to enjoy the blessing of salvation.
▶Three feasts ? The day that we applied the blood of the lamb during the Passover, we were set free from the forces of darkness. God is with those who are saved by His Holy Spirit - Pentecost. Your background is the kingdom of God - Ingathering. We must take this blessing with us into the world.
(2) We must take with us the strength of prayer to overcome the wilderness.
▶God wants us to be supplied with this strength through the tabernacle.
(3) We must possess the strength to overcome before we enter into the Canaan land.
▶God has already prepared it all. Assurance! It is a fight that has already been won. Just wait! The forces of darkness have already been broken down. We must have this assurance.
▶Prayer is about connecting our spiritual blessings that we have received to the field. We must find this blessing.
3. We must discover uniqueness every single day.
▶We must discover uniqueness every single day.
(1) Joseph (Egypt slave, prison, governor → discovering the unique method)
(2) Moses (Egypt studies, training discovering the unique reason)
(3) Joshua ? God has entrusted me with the work of entering the Canaan land!
(4) Caleb - Discovered uniqueness during every crisis as he served Moses and Joshua.
(5) Paul (prison, labeled as a heretic → He overcame the Jewish people with the Gospel as he stood trial, and he took it as an opportunity to explain this before the Emperor Caesar).
▶What is your occupation? You must discover uniqueness there.
Conclusion ? You must find this within the small things.
(1) 7 Remnants ? They received answers within the small things.
(2) I did my best when I was put in charge of the Sunday school.
(3) Early Church ? All the members came together as one and prayed, and the entire world was changed.
▶If we enjoy the realistic blessings that we have received through prayer, it will become an accurate start. Before we go out into the world, we must gain this strength. We must possess the blessing of the saved, the blessing of the wilderness, as well as the strength to enter into the land of Canaan. Then, in the midst of the greatest humility, we will see our uniqueness. Then, God will answer the rest.
Starting today, hold on to this covenant accurately and start anew. You are children of God!

?Live your social life as Christ did?
(Colossians 3:18-4:2)
♠Introduction
▶Live your social life as you would do unto Christ! Verse 23 says, ? Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.?
▶1st Service Message ? There is a spiritual blessing that God has given to you. You can deliver this blessing of the field through prayer. Then, you will discover that the answers are already there. This is because God has promised to be with you. A tremendous work of God will begin in the field (working of the Holy Spirit, activity of angels). That is why we can do all things boldly.
We must gain strength every day before going out into the world. We must take with us the strength of the three feasts as one who has been saved, the blessing of the tabernacle, as well as the faith to overcome the power of Satan. Then, we will see uniqueness. From that moment on, new works will begin. All 7 Remnants were able to see this.
▶Those who have gained this answer are different.
(1) The Early Church was labeled as a heresy, but it was not suffering at all.
(2) Though the Jewish people persecuted them, the Early Church took pity on the Jewish people.
(3) Paul was in a Roman prison, but he had the tremendous privileges of God.
That is why he had no choice but to have victory. Then, how must we live our walk of faith?
1. All workplaces, businesses, and studies are the work of God.
(1) All days are the Lord?s Day ? It is incorrect to separate between the Lord?s Day and the weekday, as well as the work of the Lord and the work in the world.
(2) All 7 Remnants were like that.
(3) All the witnesses throughout church history were like that.
2. Live your social life as you would do unto Christ.
(1) Spouses ? Wives must serve their husbands as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church. All people need Christ in their relationships.
(2) Parents and children ? In the Lord. Do not discourage your children. You will absolutely have victory if you are in Christ.
(3) Workplace (Masters and servants)- Obey your earthly masters as you would obey Christ. All masters must remember that their Lord is in heaven.
3. What must I do now in order to receive true answers?
(1) Worries (diseases of the heart)
▶There is nothing to worry about (1 Peter 5:7-8, Philippians 4:6-7). Make all conflicts, scars, and bad habits into blessings. Entrust all worries completely to God. John 14:1-27, At this time, the Holy Spirit will work.
(2) What we must continue, starting now.
1) Hold on to this covenant and do the 3 today?s (Today?s Word, prayer, evangelism)
2) Continue your studies and work within the 3 Today?s.
3) Pray regarding finances and offering within the 3 Today?s.
(3) Culture of the next 6 days ? Our spiritual strength continues to fail. Our thinking becomes skewed and our hearts become empty. That is how we become desolate. That is why we must form the prayer team in order to see the diverse things. We must make it so that we can see the holistic works of God. We must come on the Lord?s Day and gain spiritual strength.
Conclusion- Assurance (Surely believe in the facts!)
▶That is why we must possess the assurance that we can overcome all things today.
(1) We have become children of God through Christ.
(2) We have gained authority through Christ.
(3) We have already gained the right to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and strength.
