Guided Into All the Truth
(Jn16:13-15)
God is the God of truth (Ps31:5; Jer10:10).
The Word, the Son, the Holy Spirit who come from Him are all truth, and
He reveals the truth and guides into the truth
To finally bring to the holy dwelling (Ps43:3).
The book of all books, the Bible, contains the truth and
Faith is knowing the truth.
The life of this faith is according to the teaching of the Spirit of the truth
Speaking only the truth and guiding into all the truth (Pr22:21, 25:13).
Deceived by the cunning serpent, Adam sinned (Ge2:17, 3:4-6) and
All men became hell-bound with the devil (Mt25:41).
The exodus of Israel testified that Jehovah is the God of truth as
His covenant with Abraham was fulfilled in 430 years (Ge15:13; Ex12:41).
For the Law and the commandments that they received are truth (Ps119:142, 151),
Any soul that sinned had to be put to death for
The one who sins dies (Eze18:20), that is no one else can die in one’s place.
The fall of Israel came because of
No one calling for justice and still swearing falsely (Jer5:1-2);
The false prophets who killed those who should not have died and
Spared those who should not live (Eze13:19); and
The people who set up idols in their hearts and asked the false prophets (Eze14:3-10).
The guilt of the false prophet and the guilt of those who consulted them were the same.
According to the prophecy that God will send His truth from heaven (Ps57:3) and
True instruction will be in His mouth and He will turn many from their sins (Mal2:6),
Yeshua came and said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He would reveal that He is the truth (Jn14:6) and
The truth and the Spirit of truth will replace the Law and the Prophets (Mt17:5).
The last prophet John (Mt11:13) and the Father God said
To only listen to the words of Yeshua (Jn5:33; Mt17:5) for
All men were born of the father of lies, the devil, thus all were liars (Jn8:44-45).
The only one who speaks the truth that He heard from the Father is Yeshua (Jn12:49-50).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Waited for the answer of the truth of His salvation from the Father and committed His spirit to the Father (Ps69:13; Lk23:46);
2) Judged the devil the father of lies (Ge3:4-6; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Mercy and truth met together (Ps85:10) as one man carried the sin of all men (Eze18:20; Rm5:19; 2Co5:21).
He resurrected and ascended to the holy heavenly mountain (Ps43:3).
He is the God of truth who speaks from the throne the words of truth (Rev3:14, 21:5).
The Spirit of truth whom He sent
Came in the name Yeshua and
Speaks only what He heard and guides believers into all the truth (Jn16:13-15).
A disciple made by the Spirit is he who
Longs to hear only the words of the truth and be guided by the truth
Thus rejects any deceiving teaching (1Ti4:1-2).
Not distorting the word of God (2Co4:2),
He only speaks the truth, even risking danger to carry out the truth, and
Resolves to tear down and crush any idol, greed inside of him (2Ti3:13; Jas1:14-15).
O Lord,
What is the idol that is hidden deep in my heart?
Let me eliminate it completely.
Let me know that
Joy after suffering and
The crown after the cross is the truth! Amen.

He Who Knows the Lord Who Sees Him
(Ge16:11-13; Jn1:45-51)
God is He who sees (Ge16:13).
He sees the heart, the mind, the deeds (2Ch16:9; Ps33:13-15).
For He considers honor to be acknowledged
He forgives and does not bring on destruction (Jnh3:10).
Faith is acknowledging that He sees me (Ps139:1) and
The life of this faith is turning from evil ways and being forgiven and being watched over by Him.
While men do not like to be watched they cannot escape being watched for
They have increased and advanced their systems and tools for surveillance.
The Bible defines the wicked and the righteous:
In his pride the wicked does not seek God and all his thoughts are, “There is no God” (Ps10:4, 13),
But the righteous acknowledges that God searched out his path and
Knew all his ways (Job31:4; Ps10:14, 139:3).
The archangel Lucifer was cast down into Hades from the spiritual heaven
To receive the great judgement as the origin of sin, the devil (Jude1:6)
For he had the evil heart of wanting to be like God (Is14:12-15).
Deceived by him, Adam sinned but before he was driven out of the Garden (Ge3:4-6, 24)
God clothed him in garment of skin (Ge3:1) for
He acknowledged that God saw everything (Ge3:10).
Jehovah who appeared in the midst of the misery of
Hagar, Jacob, Israel, David etc (Ge16:1-13, 31:42; Ex4:30-31; 2Sa16:12) was
The God who sees.
The temple where the name Jehovah and the stone tablets were (1Ki8:16; Ps11:4)
Let the people know that before God’s eyes their sins could not be concealed from Him (Jer16:17).
However, misunderstanding this (Pr16:2, 21:2; Job10:20)
Israel could not avoid the curse (Job7:20).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21)
He would not in the name Jehovah but in the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43)
Search the spirit, the soul, the mind, the heart of man.
As such, he knew all about Nathanael (Jn1:45-48),
The hearts of the disciples who were of little faith and were worried (Mt16:8),
The evil thoughts of the Pharisees and the Scribes (Mt9:3-4), and
The things that would happen to Him (Jn18:4).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Pleaded to the Father who saw all the wrong done to Him (La3:59-60; He5:7);
2) Judged the devil the origin of sin who had no thought of God in his heart (1Jn3:8); and
3) With His blood redeemed all men (Eph1:7).
He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne as the Lamb who has seven eyes (Rev5:6) and
The living creatures encircling the throne were covered with eyes (Rev4:8):
They are the angels to be sent to the churches on earth (Rev1:20).
The Holy Spirit comes to the souls of those who received the name Yeshua and
The church whose head is the name Yeshua and
Searches their hearts, thoughts, will (1Co2:10-11; Rm8:27), and
Watches over the church (Ac5:3-5, 20:28).
A disciple made by the Spirit is he who
Thinks of the name Yeshua at every moment.
He hears the word that divides soul and spirit, joints and marrow and
Does not forget (He4:12-13) and
So any evil thought that comes to him he aborts immediately, and
Takes the present test and resolves to come forth as gold
For he knows that the Lord knows his way (Job23:10).
O Lord,
The moment we wake up let us think of the name Yeshua and
The moment we close our eyes let us see the eyes of Yeshua!
Amen.

He Who Works In the Day
(Jn9:4-5; 1Th5:4-8)
God works (Eph1:11).
He works diligently (Jer7:25, 11:7) for Himself (Ge22:8), and
Brings those who work in the day for Him to the place where there is no night (Rev21:25, 22:5).
While most employees work to kill time
The self-employed works diligently day or night since the work and its gain is for himself.
Faith is knowing what my work is and
The life of this faith is diligently doing the work of Him who sent me in the time I have in flesh for a
Time is coming when I can no longer work even if I wanted to (Jn9:4).
Although the Garden of Eden was a paradise on earth where one did not have to work (Ge2:16),
Deceived by the devil Adam sinned and was driven out (Ge3:4-6, 24) and
Subsequently there would be no guarantee for the painful toils of all men (Ge3:16-19).
God Himself delivered Israel from Egypt (Ex32:11; Dt2:5; Neh1:10),
From slavery which has no guarantee for their work
To become the people of God for whom there is guarantee for their work.
As such, they had to fight and work to conquer the land promised to them (E33:1-2).
Furthermore they had to work to obey the commandments that were
Inscribed on the stone tablets by the finger of God (Dt9:10).
In the sanctuary where the stone tablets were inside the ark and the name Jehovah was
The priests and the people continued to do the work of giving sacrifice.
But eventually they had no regard for the deeds of the LORD (Ps28:5) and
Considered the work as a burden for which they were cursed (Mal1:6-13; 2:1-2).
Yet the prophecy of giving the LORD no rest until He builds Jerusalem (Is62:7) and
The LORD Himself bearing their sins (Is53:11) gave them hope.
Yeshua appeared and said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-20),
He would work to complete the sacrifice in the temple (Mt12:6; Jn1:28) for
He is the incarnate Word from the beginning (Jn1:1, 14) who was
Sent by the Father to do His work (Jn9:4), that is,
To raise souls up at the last day by giving them His flesh and blood (Jn6:28-29, 38-40, 54-58).
For the Father is at His work to this day (Jn5:17, 36)
The Son also worked from early in the morning until late at night
Praying, preaching, teaching, healing the sick and
Driving out demons (Mt8:16-17, 14:23, 25; Lk4:40, 6:12; Jn3:2).
Although He was restless during His public life He pressed on to finish His work (Lk13:32-33).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Died according to the Father’s command and fought to take by force the kingdom of heaven
which the Father prepared for Him (Mt11:12; Jn10:18; He1:2);
2) Condemned the devil who coveted the throne (Is14:12-15; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Bore in His flesh the sins of all souls (1Pe2:24) and with His blood redeemed them (1Pe1:18-19)
and finished all His work.
He resurrected and sat at the right hand of God and
Does the work of serving the Father forever (He7:24-26),
Interceding for the souls whom He purchased with His blood (Rm8:34; Rev5:9).
The Holy Spirit who was sent by the Father (Jn14:16, 15:26)
Lets the work of the name Yeshua be known and continues it to this day.
A disciple made by the Spirit is
A worker of the gospel, of the church (Col1:23, 25).
As a son of the light, even if he lacks sleep (1Th5:4-8),
He is awake to not cease praying until heard (Lk18:1-8),
To boldly testify the gospel (Mt10:19-20; Ac1:8)
To heal in the name Yeshua (Mk16:17-20) and
To serve so that the body of Christ may be built up (Rm12:6-13; Eph4:12) for
He longs to take by force the kingdom of heaven where (Mt11:12)
There will be no more night but only the light of day forever (Rev21:25, 22:5).
O Lord,
Like the apostle Paul (Php2:17, 3:12-14), like our pastor Kang,
We want to be poured out of our sincerity and diligence
To press on while it is called day and work for the name Yeshua!
Let the Holy Spirit continue to work in our Church of Jesus so that
The work of keeping, defending and teaching the truth, making disciples of all nations continues!
Amen.

Those Who Possess Power
(Is9:6; Lk9:1-2)
God is the God of power.
Power belongs to Him (Ps62:11) and
By His power He proclaims His name (Ex9:16).
Faith is longing and possessing the power of God in His name Yeshua (Ps89:8), and
The life of this faith is using the power in His name and breaking through any barrier in order to
participate in the power of His resurrection (Php3:10).
While people in the world strive to take hold of power
The Christian faith is putting effort to break through the countless spiritual beings that
Hard press them on each side (2Co4:8-9).
The Bible illustrates the power of God that
Gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that were not (Rm4:17) for
By His great power and might
He brought out the starry host one by one calling forth each of them by name (Is40:26).
In spite of his weaknesses Moses did the great work of the exodus of Israel from Egypt (Ex8:5-9, 23),
Passed through the Red Sea and defeated battles (Ex10:13, 17:9) because
He clung to the staff of the Almighty God in His name (Ex6:1-3; Rm4:17, 20).
The sanctuary reminded them of God’s might for His name’s sake (Ps106:8) and that
His might was with the ark (Ex25:18-20; 2Ch6:41).
So Israel looked up to the temple to seek His power (Ps63:2).
While some misunderstood where the power came from (1Sa4:4-11, 5:1-12),
Others like David and Elijah knew the power was in the name of the LORD (1Sa17:45; 1Ki18:24).
Israel awaited for the prophecy to be fulfilled:
The coming of a mighty King with His mighty scepter from Zion (Ps110:2; Da11:23),
In the name Mighty God (Is9:6), whose power would be hidden in Him (Hab3:4).
Yeshua came and said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-22),
He would be the mighty King coming with His mighty scepter in the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43).
He is the God who came as man (Jn1:1, 14),
In Whom the fullness of Deity lives in bodily form (Col2:9).
By the power gone out from Him He healed the sick (Mt5:28-30; Lk6:17-19) and
Cast out invisible demons (Lk4:35), displaying that
He is mightier than the staff of Moses or the ark of the temple (Mt3:11) for
The power of the Spirit was with Him (Lk4:14).
He even gave power to the disciples to drive out demons and heal (Mt10:1; Mk3:15; Lk9:1)
Revealing to them that their names are written in the book of life (Lk10:17-20).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Following the Father’s command used the power hidden inside His flesh (Hab3:4) to die for
the power to live again (Jn10:18), glorifying the Father who alone is mighty to save Him (He5:7);
2) Condemned the devil the ruler of death (He2:15; 1Jn3:8); and
3) With His redeeming blood gave the power of life to all men (He7:16).
He resurrected and declared with power to be the Son of God (Rm1:4) and
Ascended to heaven and sat at the right hand of the Mighty One (Mt26:64).
The promised Spirit came to
Clothe believers with power from on high (Lk24:49), that is, the name Yeshua.
A disciple made by the Spirit is he who
Preaches the gospel to the ends of the earth
With boldness in spite of threats (Ac2:36-38; 4:29-31),
Not with persuasive words but
With a demonstration of the Spirit’s power (Ac19:11-12; 1Co2:4, 4:20).
By the power of the name Yeshua
He breaks through any disease or obstacle,
Driving out demons and laying his hand on the sick to heal (Mk16:17; Ac3:16) for He longs for the power of the resurrection of Christ be revealed in his body (Php3:10)
When the Lord returns riding on the clouds.
O Lord,
Whether an illness or fear we face especially during this pandemic
Let us be bold and be resolved to break through
In the name of Yeshua!
Let us cling on to the name and
Use the power wherever we go! Amen.
God has a will (Psalm 40:8).
For His dispensation following His will He does what He predestined (Eph 1:9) and
Through signs and prophecies He lets this be known and warns ahead (Luke 21:7-13).
Faith is knowing the will of the Lord and believing it, and
The life of this faith is keeping watch and preparing for the day of the Lord to be taken to a new heaven and a new earth (2 Peter 3:12-13).
While humans are beings that feel the passing and the pressing of time, as they constantly express
The Bible is the announcement regarding God’s dispensation and predestination.
Regardless of different theories on the end of the world,
Such as global warming, famine, nuclear war etc,
In the last day, time that began with light will end with the destruction of light itself (Gen 1:3-5) and
The universe will become the eternal lake of fire, hell (2 Peter 3:7; Rev 20:10, 14-15)
All mankind was deceived by the devil and sinned (Gen 3:4-6), and
Became his slaves and hell-bound with him (Mat 25:41; 2 Peter 2:19).
The history of the Bible illustrates the warning of the end and the events fulfilled accordingly.
In the year that a man named Methuselah (“end”) died (Ge5:25),
As God warned Noah (Ge6:5-7, 7:11-12),
By waters the entire world was deluged and destroyed (2Pe3:6).
In less than a day since the arrival of the angels who warned (Ge18:20, 19:1),
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by the brimstone fire (Ge19:15, 23).
The time of the predestined deliverance of Israel and the destruction of Egypt (Ge15:13) had
Already begun when the baby Moses was drawn out from the water (Ex2:10, 24; 1Co10:1-2).
The sanctuary where the name Jehovah and Aaron’s budded staff (Nu17:4-5) were
Reminded Israel that they were the people of God who revealed through signs and prophecies.
As the prophet said that the Lord will suddenly appear before the temple (Mal3:1-6) and
Of the coming wrath (Mt3:1-12),
Yeshua came and said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-22),
He would reveal that He is the predestined Christ (Ac3:20) who came to fulfill God’s dispensation.
He is the incarnate Word in the beginning who
Came as the Son in the last days (Jn1:1, 14; He1:2; 1Pe1:20) and
The returning King coming in all glory at the end of the world (Mt16:27).
As such, He warned the disciples to keep watch (Mt25:1-13).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that:
1) The moment His breath was cut off all God’s dispensation was fulfilled (Eph1:9-10);
2) Judged the devil the origin of sin (Is14:12-15; 1Jn3:8); and
3) With His blood redeemed all men and fulfilled God’s will from before the creation, of letting them become His children (Eph1:4-7).
His resurrection is the sign greater than Jonah, the sign of His return (Mt12:39-40; Lk12:41).
He sat on the heavenly throne as God’s eternal purpose was accomplished (Eph3:11; He1:2).
The dispensation of God is:
The Era of Deity consciousness (Adam—Noah);
The Era of Sacrifice (Noah—Moses);
The Era of the Law (Moses—Jesus Christ);
The Era of Grace (the Pentecost—the return of Christ);
The Millennium (the return of Christ—the End).
When Christ returns — the rapture — the first resurrection (1Co15:20-23, 51-52):
Those dead in Christ (in paradise) —> raised to the imperishable —> in the air (1Th4:16-17);
Those still alive (on earth) —> suddenly transformed, taken up —> in the air (Rev19:7).
After the Great Judgment of Christ (2Co5:12; 2Ti4:1) will be:
The second resurrection —> the second death —> the lake of fire, hell (1Co15:24; Rev20:12-14).
The “man of lawlessness,” the antichrist will be revealed and his power to unite the world possible
For God will put into the hearts of men to accomplish His purpose (Rev17:17).
Once the one who holds his power back, that is, the church (2Th2:3-8), is taken up
The torment in the world will drive even those so-called believers to give up faith, heading to hell.
A disciple made by the Spirit is he who
Therefore keeps watch by
Seeing the signs of the end times, such as great earthquakes, famines, pestilences (Lk21:10-11),
Technologies ready to unify and control the entire world and the increased wickedness (Mt24:12).
To escape the burning universe and arrive in a new heaven and a new earth (2Pe3:13),
He puts every effort to gather all the more as that day approaches (He10:25) and
Whenever, wherever the Master returns
He hopes to be found as a faithful servant doing the work of raising souls to life (Mt25:45-46).
O Lord,
Seeing all the signs in the world right now
We are certain that the end times have come.
How You have revealed this immense mystery regarding the universe and its schedule!
Let us all wake up! Let us move!
Amen. Come, Lord, Yeshua!
God is the God of revelation (Jn1:1).
He reveals Himself in His time, according to His ways (Jn1:14; Gal4:4-5) and
To those who love Him He reveals Himself all the more (Jn14:21).
Faith is hearing His word and believing it and
The life of this faith is carrying out His word, that is, obeying His word until the end.
While religions originate from the spirit of the world (1Co2:12) and
Guide human deeds and effort to approach the divine,
God hides Himself infinitely from such (Mt11:25-26).
The faith by revelation, however, is following the revealed word:
Hearing according to what He speaks and
Knowing according to what He lets be known — that is, hearing the Word.
The Bible contains the story of men who heard the word of God:
Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the prophets and the disciples (He1:1-2).
In the past — through the prophets — to Israel;
In these last days — through the Son — to the world, the disciples; and
On this day — through the Holy Spirit — to the church, the souls.
The Law is the word that God spoke through the angels (Ac7:53; He2:2)
While the gospel is the word He spoke through the Son (He2:3), which is
What many prophets longed to hear (Mt13:16-17).
The sanctuary where the stone tablets inside the ark were
Reminded them that God spoke to their ancestors (Ex25:22).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He Himself would reveal God and speak directly (Mt17:1-5; He1:1) to souls.
He is the God who spoke since the beginning who became flesh and
His words are what the Word in the beginning spoke (Jn1:1, 14),
Also to be spoken by the Holy Spirit inside souls (Jn14:24, 16:12-13).
Although He spoke what He heard from the Father (Jn12:49),
The people refused to hear Him (Jn9:29), and
The disciples, though blessed to hear His voice (Mt13:13-17; Mk4:9, 23),
Still could not understand at the time (Lk18:33-34).
As His flesh was nailed to the cross and He died,
Yeshua said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Only listened to the Father’s word and obeyed it (Jn10:18);
2) Judged the spirit of the world, the liar, the devil (Ge3:4-6; Jn8:43-47, 12:31); and
3) Tore His flesh like the veil and sprinkled His blood on the souls of men, opening their ears that were closed by sin (Ge3:24; Ex25:22; Lk23:45).
He resurrected and ascended to heaven
In the body that has the marks of being torn (Rev5:6).
To this day, His voice comes from the throne like
Peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm (Rev11:19).
The Holy Spirit lets believers who heard the voice of Yeshua inside their souls
Speak in tongues (Ac2:4; 1Co14:14) and
Reminds them of the words of Yeshua (Jn14:23-26) and
Hear the words that the Spirit speaks to the churches (Rev2:7).
A disciple is blessed for he has ears to hear (Mt13:16-17)
The word spoken since the beginning.
He discerns the words for the soul from those that are not (Ps1:1; Mt4:12; 1Co2:11-14; 2Ti4:3-4).
So he repents when rebuked (Rev2:12-17),
Obeys the words of Christ for they are spirit and life (Jn6:63, 68, 12:50), and
Preaches the words for the soul (Mk16:15-20),
For only those who can discern the word will rise
When the Lord returns (Jn5:24-25).
O Lord,
I am so moved that
The word spoken since the beginning,
The word spoken to Paul and converted him (Ac9:4-6; Gal1:15-17; Eph3:1-6)
I a soul can hear today!
Let all our ears be opened to hear Your voice!
Ephphatha (Mk7:35)!
God is the Father (Php1:2).
In His blood He gives birth to children and
Through His death He confirms His love (Rm5:8).
Faith is knowing His love (Eph3:18) and
The life of this faith is loving the brothers for whom Yeshua died (1Co8:11-12), because loving God
Who is invisible must be revealed through loving brothers who are visible (1Jn4:20-21).
From one same father, receiving the same blood
Sharing the same meal, brothers share the same quality.
While there is the order of birth, there is no rank among them.
Although God made men as the object of His love
Adam, the ancestor of all men, was separated from it as he was deceived and sinned (Ge3:4-6).
As a result all men became children of the devil (Jn8:44; 1Jn3:12).
So began the tragedy of mankind: sibling conflict, hatred etc (Pr17:17).
Cain killed Abel (Ge4:3-9; 1Jn3:12), Esau tried to kill Jacob (Ge27:41) and
Joseph’s brothers conspired to kill him which
Ultimately paved the road to the slavery of Israel (Ge37:3-4).
In that midst, however, it came into Moses’ heart to visit his brothers (Ac7:23) and
The exodus of Israel was fulfilled.
Among God’s commandments given to the Israelites were
The commandments regarding loving their brothers
To not hate, not harm (Lev19:17-21),
Cancel their debts, giving to the poor, showing interest etc (Dt15:3-19, 22:1-4).
When witnessing one’s very own brother breaking the commandment, however,
He was to be the first to stone him to death (Dt13:6-10).
Ironically, the closest brothers became the object of one's fear.
The sanctuary where the stone tablets were placed inside the ark
Reminded them of the Law, the spirit of slave to make them fear (Rm8:15).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He would fulfill the greatest and the first commandment, that is,
To love God and to love brothers (Mt22:37-39).
In addition, He gave a new commandment to love, even one’s enemies (Mt5:43-46) for
He loved all men who had become enemies of God (Jn13:34-35, 15:12-14).
As He died, He said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing” (Lk23:34), and
Also “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Loved the Father by offering up His life (Jn10:17-18);
2) Judged the devil the separator (1Jn3:8); and
3) Gave His life and loved all men (Mt20:28), fulfilling the greatest and the first commandment to love God and love men perfectly.
He resurrected and was taken up to the kingdom of love (Col1:13; Rev1:5).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent
Pours out into the hearts of believers the love of God (Rm5:5) and
Lets them know that they owe the heavenly Father the debt to love (Rm13:8-10).
A disciple is he who puts effort to
Pay back the debt to the brothers on earth (Mt25:26).
So he does not neglect them (Ge4:9; Lk10:25-37),
Rather forgives and does not hate them (Mt18:21-35; 1Co6:5-8; 1Jn2:9-11),
Takes pity and looks after them (Mt25:34-46),
Making sacrifice for them (1Jn2:16-18) for
God is the God of those who have brothers — in other words, “our Father” (Mt6:9).
O Lord,
We have shouted that we love the Lord,
Only to realize now that we have done so in vain!
Forgive this disobedient child who only gave a lip service.
From now ‘til arriving in the Father’s house
Let every moment be with the Father’s heart and
Let us all carry out this brotherly love (philadelophos). Father!
God is the Father.
For He gives His children the best (Mt7:11)
He gives His name as the eternal inheritance, and
Lets those who invest all for the inheritance of His name to serve Him forever (Rev22:3-4).
Faith is loving the Father, respecting and trusting Him and
The life of this faith is putting effort to make the inheritance of the Father’s name successful.
Even if times change and the world changes, one thing that does not change is
The heart of the father who wants to give the best to his children.
The businesses that are operated with sincerity and earnestness and
Passed down from father to child are successful.
The Bible contains the story of God giving children His name as inheritance.
Lucifer who coveted that name and challenged the throne (Is14:12-15) was
Cast down to Hades and destined to judgment for
Angels are only spirits made to minister the heirs of God (He1:14).
Although the people of Israel are the people of God who knew His name (Is52:6),
The inheritance they received was that of servants (Is54:17; Rm8:15)
For they received the name of God through angels who are servants (Ex3:2-6, 15; Hos12:3-5).
They feared Jehovah (Dt28:58; Ps99:3),
The name that only the prophets could call (1Sa12:19) and
The name that only the priests could draw near in
The sanctuary where the name was (1Ki8:16) with images of angels (Ex25:17-18; 2Ch3:7)
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Though the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19),
He would tear down the name Jehovah delivered by angels and
Give the name Yeshua brought by the Son (Jn5:43, 17:11, 26) for
It is the inheritance that neither angels nor Israel received
But only the children of God could receive (Jn1:12).
God who is the Word came as the Son (Jn1:1, 14) and
Gave glory to the Father’s name (Jn12:28).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Following the commandment died and gave the perfect and eternal glory to the Father (Jn10:18, 12:28; Php2:6-11);
2) Judged the devil the challenger (Is14:12-16; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Shed His redeeming blood for all men (Eph1:7).
He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne where
Those who have written on their foreheads
The name of the Father and of the Son, that is, Yeshua, serve Him forever (Rev14:1, 22:3-4).
The Holy Spirit comes to those who received His name and became children (Jn1:12, 14:26) and
Lets them be bound up with the name Yeshua with love and devotion (Ge44:30) for
The Father’s name is my name and my name is the Father’s name.
A disciple is he who knows that
Receiving the name Yeshua is the greatest inheritance and that
In the Father’s name is infinite forgiveness, waiting and acknowledgement.
As an heir of God and co-heir with Christ
He is willing to share in His suffering to share in His glory (Rm8:16-17).
Thus, he invests his whole life for the success of the inheritance of the Father’s name:
For the expansion of the kingdom whose head is His name,
For the establishment of the church whose head is His name,
For the nurturing of souls who are children in His name and
Obeys whatever is commanded in His name (Mt28:19; Lk24:47; Jn14:14; Mk16:17-18).
O Lord,
Yeshua~
Father~
The invincible name,
The successful name
You gave as our inheritance
So we will surely succeed!
Support us until the end! Amen.

Those Bought By the Precious Blood of Christ
(Eph1:7; 1Pe1:18-19)
God is the Owner.
By His word He made all things and is their Owner (Ex19:5) and
By His blood He purchases souls and is their Owner (Ac20:28).
He rewards those who live for His profit all His possessions (Mt24:46-47).
Faith is knowing who my owner is and what my true worth is and
The life of this faith is only doing according to the Owner’s will and living for His gain (Mt24:42-51).
Redemption means a release by payment or buying back.
While selling and buying human bodies is considered as a terrible crime today,
Selling and buying their time, knowledge, talent, experiences etc is considered natural.
As such, those with bodies with astronomical prices are objects of envy.
While all things God created belong to Him (Ps24:1, 100:3; Hag2:8),
When Adam, the ancestor of all men, was deceived by the devil and sinned,
All men became the devil’s slaves and possession (Ge3:4-6; 2Pe2:19).
God’s work to redeem all men from the devil began vWhen He sent Moses into Egypt to redeem Israel and
On the night of the Passover had them each pay the price of the blood of a lamb, by which
They were finally delivered from their slavery of 430 years under the pharaoh (Ex12:29-31).
To remember that it was the LORD who redeemed them
From the hands of their enemies and trouble (Neh1:10; Ps106:10; Is43:1),
He commanded them to build the sanctuary where
They gave the Passover sacrifice every year (Ex12:27).
Furthermore, the written code placed inside the ark (Ex25:21; Col2:14)
Reminded them that they were servants of the LORD (Dt8:14; Ps100:3).
In spite of the fact that what was vowed to the LORD was to
Not be redeemed or sold (Lev27:2-15, 28-29; Jdg11:30-31),
Over time, they considered it burdensome (Mal1:12-13) and
Even robbed what belong to the LORD (Mal3:7-9), because of which
Their whole nation was under a curse.
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-20),
He would pay the highest price of not the blood of animals but
His own blood, the blood of God, His life (Mt20:28; Ac20:28; Rev5:9) and
Purchase not flesh but souls (Mt13:44-47) for
It was time to make them God’s treasured possession (Mal3:17).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Offered His own blood to the Father (Lev27:28-29), trusting that the Father would redeem Him from death (Ps49:15) and give Him the eternal possession (He1:2);
2) Condemned the devil the thief (Ge3:4-6; Is14:12-15; Jn10:8; 1Jn3:8); and
3) With His blood bought back souls, canceling the written code (Col2:14), for the redemption of souls is costly God Himself did it (Ps49:7-8).
He resurrected and ascended to heaven, and
He is the Lamb on the throne of grace (He4:16).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent comes and lets souls know that
For God to make His eternal possession
Those who have no value on their own (Lev27:2-7) and on their own would have gone to hell,
He paid the highest price so they could never be returned (Ecc5:13).
A disciple knows that at the price of His precious blood (1Pe1:18-19)
He has been forgiven and justified (Rm3:24; Eph1:7).
Therefore, he willingly becomes an eternal free slave of Christ (Ex21:2-6; 1Co7:22) and
Uses his free will only to obey for he is no longer a slave to sin (Rm6:6-14; 1Co6:19-20).
For he knows that his body, time, talents, treasures all belong to his Owner and
For his many sins have been forgiven he loves much (Lk7:47, 21:4) and
Does not hold back but gives willingly and in joy (Mt13:45; Mk14:2-9).
As a member of the church purchased with His blood (Ac20:28-31),
He edifies and shares his food with those entrusted to him
For when the Owner returns,
All His possessions would become his own (Mt24:42-51).
O Lord,
How could God be so foolish to buy me, a pathetic worthless sinner?
How could he hoard me to His harm (Ecc5:13)?
Let us all know this amazing grace of Your redemption and our true worth and
Let us live proudly.
Following our true worth, let us live according to Your will and be used for Your gain!
Amen.

He Who Dies To Himself
(Jn12:24-26)
God is the Lord of life.
From Him comes life and
He rewards those who serve sacrificially with eternal life.
Faith is longing to serve Him and
The life of this faith is, in order to receive eternal life, dying to oneself everyday (Lk9:23; Php1:21).
While any religion or ideology considers
Those who sacrifice themselves for the sake of the supreme righteousness or good as heroes,
The world in the last days sees the surge of “me-ism,” especially with the “Me Me Me Generation,”
As the prince of the world causes men to become even more self-centered,
Pulling them further away from God (Mt24:12).
Deceived through his wife who ate the forbidden fruit, Adam also ate it (Ge3:4-12) and
When God pressed hard, he made excuses blaming God and his wife and
His self-centeredness was put into motion
As this was the effect of the devil who insisted on “I” and was driven out of heaven (Is14:12-15).
Thereafter, the devil spurred on the animal instinct of “the survival of the fittest”
Causing a brother to kill his own brother (Ge4:8; 1Jn3:12).
Abraham, however, when tested to give his only son to God as a burnt sacrifice (Ge22:2),
With the faith that God Himself will provide a lamb for sacrifice (Ge22:8)
He was ready to kill his son.
But God let him give the ram that He Himself provided and Abraham’s son lived (Ge22:12-13).
The exodus of his descendants, Israel, was by the sacrifice of the Passover lamb (Ex12:21-24).
So their firstborns lived and the kingdom of Israel was born (Ex19:6).
To remind them to observe the day and remember for generations
God had them make the sanctuary where
There always was sacrifice — burnt offering, guilt offering, sin offering, fellowship offering (Lev1-7).
Sacrifice was brought at the entrance of the tent of meeting and
The priest laid his hand on it and it was killed, its blood splashed and the meat burned.
Only when the animal was sacrificed
The sins of the people were forgiven, they became holy and able to serve God.
In spite of this, however, they eventually gave meaningless offerings (Is1:11-4) and so
The prophet spoke of the nearing day of the Lord
When He would prepare a sacrifice Himself (Zep1:7).
As such, Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days” (Jn2:19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
Not an a animal but God Himself would become the atoning sacrifice for the souls of all men for
He is the Word in the beginning who came as the Son of Man, the Lamb of God (Jn1:29; Mt20:28)
To die as a kernel of wheat to raise many to life (Jn12:24).
So He called the disciple who wanted to keep Him from dying “Satan” (Mt16:23), and
Said that all who draw the sword will die by the sword (Mt26:52).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Laid down His life and became the sacrifice whom the Father prepared for Himself, perfectly serving the Father (Jn10:17-18; He10:12 ,14);
2) Condemned the devil the origin of self-centeredness (1Jn3:8); and
3) Sacrificed Himself and raised men to life (Ge22:8; Jn1:14; Mt20:28).
The Father raised Him back to life (Ac5:30) and
Seated Him on the heavenly throne and He became the Lord of life (Ac3:15).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent testifies the name Yeshua and
Gathers those who came to life by the sacrifice of Christ the passover Lamb (1Co5:7),
That is, the church.
A disciple is he who
Buried his old self through baptism into death with Christ (Rm6:4, 6, 11-2) and
In order to receive life in the age to come, that is, enteral life (Mk10:30)
Takes up his cross daily and follows the Lord (Lk9:23; Mk8:34).
He sacrifices himself to share the gospel and the name Yeshua with unbelievers (Rev12:11), and
He is resolved to daily put to death his ego, pride, self-centeredness (Col3:5; Php1:21; Gal2:20)
For when one dies to himself,
The kingdom lives, the church lives, the family lives and souls live.
O Lord,
If I could die and one soul could
Confess that Yeshua is Lord and bows his knees before the name Yeshua
Then I am ready to die.
So let ME, ME, ME die! Amen.

Those Who Preach the Good News
(Rm10:9-15)
God is the God of revelation.
He reveals Himself in His way (Tit1:3) and
He saves those who believe according to His will (1Co1:21).
Faith is receiving His revelation through preaching (Ac15:7) and
The life of this faith is putting effort to save those who believe the foolishness of preaching (1Co1:21).
Since before the creation,
God planned to save men through Christ (Eph1:4-5):
Salvation by calling His name, which is by believing from hearing, which is through preaching,
Sent by the word of Christ (Rm10:9-15).
The gospel, that is, “God’s good news,” refers to
The Son of God Yeshua (Mk1:1; Rm1:1-2),
The Word in the beginning who is God came as man (Jn1:1-2, 14).
This is because sin entered all men by their ancestor Adam who was deceived and sinned (Ge3:4-6),
So all died (Rm5:12; 1Co15:22), destined to follow the devil to hell (Mt25:41) and
Only God could make the way.
The models of salvation in the Old Testament were:
The salvation from the deluge and Noah (He11:7; 2Pe2:5),
The exodus of Israel through Moses (Ex3:2-10, 4:5-16), and
The salvation of Nineveh from destruction through Jonah (Jnh1:1, 4:11).
By the word of the LORD delivered through the angel
The prophets were sent and by preaching they led the people to salvation.
The sanctuary where the name Jehovah and the stone tablets were
Reminded them of this and the Law of sin and death (Rm8:2) that
Led the Israelites like a guardian until the coming of the gospel (Gal3:23-25).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
He would save in the Father’s name Yeshua (Mt1:21; Jn5:43)
The souls of men from the prince of the world, from sin and death (Jn3:17, 12:47).
He proclaimed the good news of the kingdom (Mt4:23; Lk4:14-19), that is
The promise of eternal life to all who believe the Son (Jn3:16, 17:3) and
Knowing that He is the God who came as man (Mt16:16-17; Jn1:1, 14).
As such, He is greater than Moses and Jonah (Mt12:41).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Laid down His life according to the Father’s command fulfilling His will from before the creation (Jn10:18);
2) Judged the ruler of death (He2:14); and
3) Died with all men’s sin and redeemed them, and shed His blood to become the power of God to save those who believe (Mt20:28; Rm1:16-17).
He resurrected and ascended to the heavenly throne as
The Lamb who was slain (Is53:5; Rev5:6). the eternal gospel (Rev14:6).
The Holy Spirit came in the name Yeshua and built the church (Ac2:1-4) and
Sends out believers to do the work that Yeshua did, that is, to preach the good news (Ac1:8) for
The duty, the protection and the essence of the church is
Preaching the gospel of salvation and the work of saving souls (Eph1:13).
The preacher of the good news is
He who knows that by faith alone he became righteous before God (Rm1:17) so
Considers as grace to be entrusted with the gospel (1Th2:4) and
For the cross of Christ to not be emptied of its power (1Co1:17),
He is compelled to preach, for woe to him if not (1Co9:16), and becomes
A minister of Christ in the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel for an offering of souls (Rm15:16).
He even suffers with the church for the sake of the gospel (Col1:24-28)
For he longs to share in its blessings (1Co9:23, 15:23; Rev20:4-6).
O Lord,
Like Jonah,
We have been attached to things that will soon dry up and burn up, and
We did not have the heart that cherishes souls.
Give us the heart of the Father —
The heart that cherishes souls! Amen.

The True Worshipers
(Ps132:7; Jn4:17-26)
God is worthy to be worshiped.
To be worshiped
He created the spiritual heaven, the angels,
The heavens of the universe and man.
He seeks those who truly worship Him (Jn4:23) and
Brings them before Him to worship Him forever (Rev22:4).
Worship means meeting with God, seeing the face of God, serving God.
Faith is longing to worship God (Ps42:1-4) and
The life of faith is worshipping successfully while on earth.
The archangel who attempted to become the object of worship himself
Desecrated the heavenly sanctuary (Eze28:18), is
Satan who was then was contained in Hades (Is14:12-15) and
Deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden to commit the same sin, the devil (Ge3:4-6).
The Bible is the history of God seeking worship:
Abel who gave a better sacrifice than his brother and
Gave successful worship and died, yet still speaks (Ge4:2-10; He11:4);
Abraham who gave his only son as a burnt sacrifice on the designated mountain and
Gave successful worship according to the revelation,
Receiving many descendants and gaining the cities of their enemies (Ge22:1-18); and
The Israelites, the kingdom of priests and a holy nation, who worshipped
Following the regulations in the earthly sanctuary (Ex19:6; He8:5, 9:1-11).
Despite the fact that they were to worship God
Only before the altar of the LORD in the Temple of Jerusalem (Dt12:17; 2Ch32:12; Is27:14),
Every New Moon and every Sabbath (Is66:23),
They worshipped other gods, other ways and so were cursed (Nu26:61; Dt8:19; Mal1:12-13).
The prophesied One, who was despised, abhorred by the nation, the servant of rulers came
To be worshipped by nations and kings — that is, Yeshua (Is49:7).
He said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days” (Jn2:19-20), because
In the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43), not in the name Jehovah,
In the tabernacle not made by human hands, that is not part of this creation (He9:11),
With the blood not of animal sacrifice but of Christ, of God (He9:12),
He would truly worship God only (Mt4:9-10).
In spite of the historical background (1Ki12:1-33):
1) Jeroboam — 10 tribes — the Northern Kingdom — a high place in Bethel — in Spirit;
2) Rehoboam — 2 tribes — the Southern Kingdom — the Temple of Jerusalem — in truth,
To the gentile woman who longed for worship
Yeshua revealed about Himself and let her meet Him for
God seeks true worshippers (Jn4:18-25).
As His flesh tore like the veil (Mt27:61) and He died,
He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Gave His flesh as a fragrant offering and sacrifice and worshiped the Father (Eph5;2);
2) Judged the devil who left his position, his proper dwelling (Jude1:6); and
3) With His blood cleansed all men and let them serve God (He9:14).
He resurrected and ascended to the true heaven and
Eternally worships God before Him (He9:24).
The Holy Spirit lets the souls cleansed by the blood of Yeshua,
Gathered around the name Yeshua (Mt18:20)
On the Lord’s Day (Mt28:1; Ac20:7; Rev1:10)
Worship Him in spirit and truth.
The true worshippers worship Yeshua with:
1) Holiness — set apart from the world;
2) Offerings — not holding back even one’s only son;
3) Faith — seeing Him who is unseen; and
4) Martyrdom — giving the last worship on earth.
O Lord,
Let us all give You our best and final worship on earth.
Church of Jesus!
Let us become the church that gives the best worship on earth!
Let us be found and chosen as the true worshippers whom God seeks so
We can go to heaven and serve You face to face for eternity! Amen.

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus
(2Ti2:1-6)
God is the Lord of glory.
He fights for glory and triumphs (Pr21:31), and
He welcomes those with their own glory and dwells with them forever (Rev21:2-23-26).
Faith is opening one’s eyes to His glory and
The life of this faith is becoming a good soldier of the kingdom where Yeshua reigns as Christ and fighting for Him and triumphing through Him (Rm8:37; 2Co2:4).
For the victor gets glory and plunder, while the defeated faces shame and loss,
Nations race to develop the most powerful weapons to win.
Yet soldiers deployed in battlefields think deeply of “What is the nation to me?” for
They sacrifice their lives to defend its land, people, sovereignty and the way of life.
The Bible is the Book of the Wars of the LORD (Nu21:14) for
It records the war in heaven (Rev12:7-9) and God’s strategy planned before the creation (Eph1:4),
Satan, when he challenged God (Is14:12-15) and left his proper position, was
Contained in Hades until the great day of judgment (2Pe2:4; Jude1:6).
Deceived by him, Adam sinned (Ge2:17, 3:4-6) and became his slave (2Pe2:19),
While the devil became the ruler of death, the prince of the world (Jn12:31; He2:14), who would
Be defeated by the offspring of the woman (Ge3:15).
The descendants of Israel, who struggled with the angel and
Received the name (Ge32:24-28; Hos12:3-4) were brought out of their slavery of 430 years in Egypt
To become a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Ex19:6) and so
God fought for them with wonders (Ex3:20, 14:14, 17:14-16; Jos24:12) for
The battle is the LORD’s (1Sa17:47).
When they entered Canaan, God left the tribes there to teach them about warfare (Jdg3:1-4).
While they defeated the battles that the LORD put into their hands (1Sa17:47),
Because they worshiped other gods, they faced endless wars and the kingdoms eventually fell.
Nevertheless, since the Temple stood and
There was the prophecy of the coming King of glory mighty in battle (Ps24:7-10),
They never lost their hope for the restoration of their kingdom (Ac1:6).
Thus, when Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,”
They were aroused to pass Him over to death (Mt26:61).
But through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-22),
Yeshua would fight and defeat the prince of the world (Jn12:31) for
He came as the kingdom of heaven (Mt3:2, 4:17) and
Defeated the temptation of the devil by the written word (Mt4:11).
He died on the cross for the foolishness and the weakness of God is
The strategy of God, the message of the cross (1Co1:18. 25).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) As the offspring of the woman laid down His life willingly and used it as His weapon to defeat the devil and gave glory to the Father (Ge3:15; Jn10:18; Php2:6-11);
2) Judged the devil the ruler of death (He2:14; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Nailed man’s greatest enemy, sin and death, to the cross and redeemed them (1Co15:55-57; Col2:14).
He resurrected for death was swallowed up in victory (1Co15:54), and
In the crown of glory He ascended to the throne in heaven as the King of glory.
His kingdom came when the Holy Spirit came
To the souls and the church purchased by His blood (Mk9:1; Ac20:28).
A good soldier of Christ has a clear sense of belonging and
Gives absolute submission to Christ’s command (Jn12:50).
To the point of shedding blood (He12:4) he fights against his enemies: The devil;
Any argument, knowledge and ideology against the knowledge of God (2Co10:4-5); The world (1Jn2:15-16, 5:4);
Members of his own household (Mt10:34-36); and
Himself, sinful desires and all sins that war against his soul (Jas4:1-4; 1Pe2:11).
He risks his life to defend the church, the souls, the truth, the way of the Christian life and For the expansion of His kingdom.
Therefore, guaranteed for him is
Daily bread, the support of the Holy Spirit (Mt6:33; 2Ti2:6; Ac9:31) and
To be taken up when the Lord returns (No one is left behind).
O Lord,
The Church of Jesus and I will
Fight to death for Your kingdom.
Dead or alive, we will never be left behind!
So let not even one of us give up the fight to the end for
We are more than conquerors in Christ! Amen.

Those Who Drank the Blood of Yeshua
(Jn6:53-54; He10:19-20)
God is the God of grace.
He freely gives what is the best (Eph1:6), and
To those who know grace He does not stop showing kindness (Ru2:20).
Faith is receiving the greatest gift from God, that is, the blood of God, and
The life of this faith is doing all things by the blood of Yeshua (He10:19).
Blood is referred to as life-sustaining fluid as
It brings oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body so it continues to work,
While it carries waste materials to lungs, kidneys and digestive system to be removed.
It also fights infections and carries hormones around the body.
While religion is following the enlightenment, ideology etc of its founder,
Christianity is believing in the blood of Yeshua, the blood of God (Ac20:28; Rm3:25).
As such, from Genesis to Revelation the Bible is the story of blood.
For the sprinkling of His blood, God made man into a living being (Ge2:7; 1Pe1:2).
Without blood, there is no revelation, covenant, commandment or sacrifice:
Noah received a vague revelation that forbid eating any meat with its lifeblood in it (Ge9:4-6);
The Israelites who by the blood of lamb were spared of their lives (Ex12:7-13)
Vowed with the blood of the covenant to keep the word of the LORD (Ex24:6-8); and
In the sanctuary the sacrifice of blood was given day after day (He7:27),
While the commandment forbid them from eating any meat with its lifeblood because
Blood and life are the same (Lev17:11-14).
However, it was prophesied that:
God would no longer receive the sacrifice of animal sacrifice (Is1:11),
He would prepare a great sacrificial feast for men (Eze39:17), and
The blood of the righteous would be shed in Jerusalem (Na3:1; La4:12-14; Ps94:21).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19),
He would not in the name of Jehovah but in the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43)
Redeem not the flesh for a limited time with the blood of animal (He10:4)
But the souls of men with His eternal blood once for all (He9:12).
For that, the Word became flesh, God came in the flesh (Jn1:1, 14) and
Commanded to drink His blood (Mt26:28; Jn6:53-54).
Pouring all His water and blood,
He died and said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Gave the Father the greatest gift, His own life and the souls whom He purchased with His blood (Jn10:18; Rev5:9);
2) Judged the devil the ungrateful one (Is14:12-15; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Paid the price of sin for all men and sprinkled the blood of grace (Eph1:7).
He resurrected, ascended to heaven and
Sat on the throne of grace (He4:16).
The Spirit of grace whom He sent
Lets believers know what has been freely given (1Co2:12) and
Testifies in them that: “the blood of Yeshua = the blood of God = the innocent blood” (Ac20:28), and
“The blood of Yeshua is in me, soul” (Rm8:15-16).
The blood of Yeshua:
1) Cleanses (He9:22); 2) forgives (Eph1:7); 3) justifies (Rm5:9); 4) makes alive (Rm6:11);
5) Gives birth (Rm8:15-16; 1Pe1:2-3); 6) gives the right to serve God (He9:14);
7) Lets prayers be heard (He12:34); and 8) is the way to repent (He10:19-20; 1Jn1:7-9).
The Christian is he who has drank the blood of Yeshua.
Therefore, in order to be found as a fruit of blood when the Lord returns to reap,
He gives no worship, praise, offering or dedication without blood,
Resists sin to the point of shedding blood (He12:4; Rev9:14),
Becomes the fence for the church purchased with His blood (Ac20:28), and
To death becomes a witness of the blood of Yeshua (Rev12:11).
O Lord,
Father! Inside me is the blood of God!
This blood is the greatest gift and the driving force of my faith.
Let us do all things because of the blood of Yeshua!
Let us overcome all things by the blood of Yeshua!
Finally, let us all participate in the sacrificial feast in heaven on that day! Amen.

Those Who Serve Yeshua
(1Sa12:24; Jn12:26)
God is worthy to be served.
He is worthy to be served for the great things He has done (1Sa12:24) and
He cherishes those who serve Him and makes them His treasured possession (Mal3:17), and
Brings them to where He dwells to serve Him forever (Ps101:6).
Faith is knowing serving Him as one’s honor and
The life of this faith is faithfully serving the Lord Yeshua (Col3:24).
While those in a society of caste system do not like the idea of serving,
When the recipient of their service is the king or the president of a country, they consider it an honor.
Leaving his proper position and attempting to sit on the throne and be served (Jude1:6),
The devil was cast out of the spiritual heaven and contained in Hades (Is14:12-15).
Deceived by him, Adam sinned and became his slave (Ge3:4-6; 2Pe2:19) and
All men became hellbound with the devil (Mt25:41).
For the Israelites who served gentiles for 430 years (Ex15:13)
God sent Moses to bring them out of Egypt (Ex3:12)
To make them a kingdom of priests (Ex19:6; Is61:6).
The commandment given to them forbid them from idolatry and serving other gods (Ex20:5).
It also promised those who serve Him
Blessing on their food and water and taking away sickness (Ex23:24-25).
Even after seeing great works, however, they wanted to go back and serve the Egyptians
Rather than dying in the desert — so all but two died (Ex14:12).
The sanctuary where they served the name Jehovah (He9:1).
Although the Levites were separated from the rest of the Israelites (Nu16:9) and
The priests were given the service of priesthood as a gift (Nu18:7) and
They were to serve faithfully with all their heart (1Sa12:24),
They eventually treated the service as a burden and
Showed contempt for His name (Mal1:6-13), for which
The prophet warned of the coming distinction between the righteous and the wicked (Mal3:18).
Yeshua said, “Destroy the temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19),
He would tear down the service of the name Jehovah
By those of the selected flesh and blood (He7:23) with the blood of animals (He10:2-4).
The Son of God coming as the Son of Man would serve the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43)
As the eternal High Priest with no weakness (He7:28) with His own blood (Mt20:28; He9:12), and
Fulfill the prophecy of making all the same so they may serve Him (Is24:2).
He promised that the Father would honor the disciples who served Him and that
Where He is they would also be (Jn12:26).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) As the eternal High Priest in the perfect tabernacle with His own flawless blood served the Father (He9:11-12);
2) Judged the devil who forgot his own place (Is14:12-15; Jude1:6); and
3) Gave His life and served mankind so that those by His blood could serve God (He9:14, 10:19).
He resurrected and sat on the heavenly throne where
He serves the Father forever and
Eternally receives the service of those redeemed by His blood (Php2:9-11; Rev22:3-5).
The Holy Spirit comes to the temple on earth, the church, and
Lets those who have been served by the blood of Christ to
Honor, serve and give dedication in the name Yeshua (Php3:3), as royal priesthood (1Pe2:9).
Disciples are those who willingly serve God, the Lord Christ (Col3:24; He9:14).
They serve wholeheartedly the church (Eph4:11-12),
The Lord’s people and fellow brothers (1Co16:15), as if they were serving the Lord (Eph6:7).
They serve honorably, humbly and faithfully,
According to their given gifts (1Pe4:10),
So while on earth they are supplied with life, breath and all things (Ac17:25) and
In the heavenly sanctuary, they will see the face of Yeshua and
Serve Him from the thrones forever (Rev22:3-5).
O Lord,
For we have seen great things You’ve done,
Let our whole church
Serve wholeheartedly the name Yeshua, the Church and the saints while on earth, and
In heaven serve the King of kings Yeshua Christ eternally in glory! Amen.

Have Faith In God
(Mk11:20-24)
God is almighty (Ge17:1).
Nothing is impossible with Him (Ge18:14; Jer32:17) and
He is able to act according to what He speaks (Nu23:19).
Faith is having faith in God, in Yeshua (Jn14:1) and
The life of this faith is not becoming disappointed in any situation and possessing the faith in God until the end.
As no man is without faith,
People trust and invest in studies, business, marriage, investments, and
Get on boats and airplanes, and even get operated on.
This is because they believe in probabilities based on accumulated experiences.
With self-confidence based on probabilities they risk their life
While some mistake self-confidence for faith and fail but
Self-confidence — the faith of natural people — based on one’s knowledge and experience — there are probabilities for success;
Faith — the faith of God — based on the word of God — there is God’s guarantee.
The Bible reveals the faith of God:
Genesis 1 — the chapter on God’s faith;
Hebrews 11 — the chapter on the people who possess the faith of God.
Noah saved his family from the deluge not by his self-confidence but by faith for
He did everything regarding the ark according to God’s command (Ge6:1-22; He11:7).
For Abram believed that God gives life to the dead and
Calls into being things that were not (Rm4:17; He11:17-19),
He gave his only son received at 100 as a burnt offering following God’s instruction (Ge22:12),
Becoming the father of faith.
The exodus of Israel was the result of not the self-confidence of Moses (Ex4:1-31)
But simply following God’s commands.
It was achieved by the supernatural works and signs that were revealed, and
Those who mocked, “Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?” were put to shame
As God gave them manna from heaven and water from the rock for 40 years (Ps78:19-20).
To Israel who forgot what He had done and so were destroyed (Ps78:11-17),
The temple where the ark containing the vase with manna was a great comfort for
They were promised that when they returned there and prayed they would be heard (2Ch6:29).
But Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-21),
Not in the name Jehovah but in the Father’s name Yeshua (Jn5:43),
He would reveal that He is the almighty God,
Not by exposition of some precepts of word but by the evidence of His works (Jn14:11).
Thus, He said to have faith in not Jehovah but Himself (Jn14:1).
Seeing their faith, He healed those with various sicknesses (Mk2:3-5; Lk8:43-47), and
Let those who surrendered their self-confidence based on experiences and obeyed His word
Experience the faith that has nothing impossible (Lk5:5-6).
He said to believe that you have received whatever you ask for in prayer (Mk11:22-24).
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Laid down His life to receive it back and became the Lord of faith (He12:2);
2) Condemned the devil who tempted with doubt (Ge3:4-6; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Sprinkled His redeeming blood on souls of men as the seed of faith (1Pe1:23).
His resurrection testifies that God is the almighty and
The Holy Spirit supports the church and those who take risks and seek power
With signs and wonders in the name Yeshua (Ac4:30-31) for
The most dangerous time is when faith becomes a concept.
The Christian surrenders to live on his own by his self-confidence (Mt5:3).
Thus, even when oppressed, even when not answered (Lk18:1-8), even without fruit of evangelism,
He does not grow weary and lose heart (2Co4:1-5; He12:3).
Until the answer that is already received becomes materialized,
Until demons leave and healing comes (Mk16:17),
He always prays and never gives up.
O Lord,
We have so little faith that
We easily become discouraged, despaired, and give up.
We who possess the faith of Yeshua will
Hold on to this faith!
We will get back up by the faith with which nothing is impossible! Amen.>/i>

He Who Prays
(Mt6:5-13)
God is the God of honor.
What He speaks in His name He remembers and
What He speaks in His name He acts (Nu23:19).
Faith is knowing Him and trusting Him and
The life of this faith is without ceasing praying in His name (1Th5:17).
A man of honor is he who keeps his word.
He remembers what he said and
No matter what happens he keeps his word.
When Adam did not believe in the word that God spoke
But listened to the devil instead and sinned (Ge2:17, 3:4-6, 24),
God was dishonored and drove him out of the Garden and put a flaming sword around it;
Thereafter, the conversation between God and men became broken.
Nevertheless, for God does not disregard those who confess to Him and seek Him,
When Cain confessed the burden of the sin he committed
God gave him a mark of salvation right away (Ge4:13-15).
Facing his brother’s revenge, Jacob struggled with an angel all night and
Received the name Israel (Ge32:38; Hos12:4-5).
His descendants, Israel, groaned in their slavery and cried out to God who
Remembered His covenant and sent Moses (Ex2:23) who
Spoke to God about everything and received His instructions (Ex4:10-17), fulfilling the exodus.
The sanctuary that God instructed them to build in the wilderness (Ex25:8) was
A place prepared for the conversation between God and Israel for generations. Outside the veil of the Most Holy Place was the altar of burnt incense (Lev16:12-13) for which
Atonement was made with the blood of the atoning sin offering and
Its fragrance was to always fill the Most Holy Place (Ex30:1-10).
It was where the name Jehovah was (2Ch2:4-6) and
The prayer towards the temple brought forgiveness and salvation (1Ki8:27-30).
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days” (Jn2:16-19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would give the right to pray to Not only a selected people in a designated earthly place in Jehovah’s name,
But also to all nations in the name Yeshua (Is56:6-7; Mk11:17-18).
Though He is the Son of God (He5:7-10), while in the flesh, He prayed
Following His habit from very early in the morning (Mk1:35; Lk22:39), and
On the last night He cried out as His sweat dropped like blood (Mt26:36-46; Lk22:44).
As He died, the temple veil tore and He said, “It is finished” (Mt27:51; Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Gave glory to the Father for He prayed to Him who was able to save Him from Hades and He was heard (Jnh2:2; He5:7);
2) Judged the devil who put a wall between God and man (1Jn3:8); and
3) With His blood redeemed the souls of all men (1Pe1:19), pleading the Father for His forgiveness for them, His blood cry (Lk23:34; He12:24).
He resurrected and ascended to the heavenly throne, and
He is interceding for the souls whom He bore in His blood (Rm8:34; He7:25),
Filling up the heavenly sanctuary with the smoke of incense.
The Holy Spirit whom He sent comes in the name Yeshua to such souls and the church.
He lets them know that as children of God (Jn1:12)
They have the duty to confess daily and the right to ask whatever (Jn14:13-14).
The receiver of prayer is the Father in heaven (Mt6:9-13);
The purpose of prayer is for the glory of the name Yeshua and the honor of His kingdom;
The content of prayer is to lay down my will and let the Father’s will be done;
The process is that angels carry the incense of the prayers of saints and pour it at the golden altar before the throne (Rev8:3-4);
The place is the house of prayer for all nations and elsewhere (Mt18:20; Mk11:17); and
The guarantee is that whatever you ask in His name He will do.
A disciple is a man of prayer who makes prayer his last resort so prays always (2Sa12:23; Eph6:18).
He prays to not fall into temptation and be delivered from evil (Mt6:13; Lk22:46).
He never gives up because the answer is already given the moment he prays (Da9:23, 10:12-13).
He serves through prayer (Lk2:37)
His kingdom, His body the church, pastors, and fellow brothers (Mt6:33; Rm1:18; Eph6:19-20).
O Lord,
For the man that the devil fears is
He who does not yield to the circumstances but
Continues praying without ceasing,
Give us all the power to pray! Amen.

The Workers of the Church
(Col1:24-29)
God is the Lord of rest (Ex33:14).
He works honorably and after He finishes work He rests.
He gives rest to those who work for Him.
While some cultures have looked down on work and working,
Others have valued it and emphasized hard work from young age, looking forward to rest in old age.
Faith is longing for God’s rest and
The life of this faith is, in order to enter His rest, toiling for the church in one’s life.
In the beginning God created all things in six days and
Finished His work and entered rest on the seventh day (Ge2:1-3).
All men became destined to toil by the sweat of their brows to gain food all their life and
Return to dust in the end (Ge3:17-19), after which
Eternal suffering in hell awaits them for
Their ancestor Adam was deceived by the devil and he sinned (Ge3:4-6).
The commandment regarding the sabbath that Israel received (Ex20:8-11) was about
Doing one’s work for six days and resting from work on the seventh day for
They were to remember that God created in six days and He rested on the seventh day.
So anyone found working on that day was put to death (Ex31:14-15, 35:2-3; Nu15:32-36).
Yet during this Era of the Law
There was a place of extraterritoriality and that was the sanctuary and
The people who were exempt were the priests (Nu28:9-10; 1Ch9:32; He10:11) for
The work of serving God is
Greater than the Law of Moses.
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-22),
He would do the Father’s work (Jn5:17-18).
For three years of His public life without resting
He healed people of various sicknesses and worked (Mt12:1-8; Jn5:8-10, 16),
For He is greater than the sabbath and greater than the temple (Mt12:6-8; Mk2:28).
Until being arrested He toiled to pray (Lk22:44) and
As He died, He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
Finished the work of the One who sent Him (Jn10:18) and committed His spirit to the Father (Lk23:46);
Condemned the devil who left his work (Eze28; Jude1:6); and
Gave His life as a ransom for all men and worked for them (Mt20:28).
He resurrected and entered heaven,
The eternal resting place that God prepared
For the Lamb who has the marks of being slain, the most painful work (Rev5:6).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent
Comes to the souls born again through His labor pains and the church.
He lets them know that the promise of entering His eternal rest still stands (He4:1-10).
The disciples of Yeshua are those who,
Like the priests who always stood and served in the temple (He10:11),
Honorably do the work of the church, whatever that may be.
On the Lord’s Day, they serve through worship and
Put effort to gather all the more (He10:25),
Admonishing and teaching everyone (Col1:28).
They pray, do the work of evangelist and of various duties (2Ti4:5) for
On the day when they are done with all their work
They long to enter the eternal rest in the Father’s house.
O Lord,
Let us know that no one can escape
This principle of toiling and then resting!
For those who work for You and Your church will surely be fed (1Co9:7-10),
Let us not worry about what tomorrow may bring.
Instead, let us all, even as volunteers,
Become workers of the church! Amen.

He Who Builds the Church of Yeshua

Those Who Love the Glorious Kingdom of Jesus Christ
(Ps145:11-13; 1Pe2:1-10)
God is the God of glory (Ps19:1).
He gloriously establishes His kingdom and
Inherits the kingdom to those who are faithful for the glory of His kingdom (Mt25:31-34).
Faith is boasting and loving His kingdom.
The life of this faith is being faithful to His kingdom to death in order to inherit the kingdom (2Th1:4-5).
While everyone is remarkably patriotic during national athletic games
As a nation is one’s glory and pride,
Even a superpower nation that has prided itself on its “exceptionalism” faces
Shameful past and realities it rather hide for
No earthly nation and its glories can last.
Nevertheless, the Bible reveals God’s glorious kingdom that rules over all (Ps103:19),
A kingdom that cannot be shaken (He11:28).
Since the ancestor of all men, Adam, was deceived by the devil and sinned,
All men became slaves of the devil, the prince of the world (Ge3:4-6; 2Pe2:19).
As God prophesied to Abraham that many nations and kings would come from him (Ge17:4-6),
To his descendants, the Israelites, who, for 430 years, had become
Slaves of the superpower nation at the time,
God sent Moses to deliver them to make them His holy people, a kingdom of God (Ex19:6).
The mercy seat above the ark in the sanctuary (Is37:16) was where
Jehovah was seated as their king and ruled over them with His laws (Dt4:7-8).
While to no other nation had God come near and fight for them (Dt4:7-8, 9:3),
When they entered Canaan they rejected Him as their king and
Choosing a man king, the kingdom of Israel was born (1Sa8:6-9).
However, it became divided into two, both of which eventually collapsed:
The Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC and the Southern Kingdom of Judah in 586 BC.
Yeshua said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days,” because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body (Jn2:19-20),
He would establish not an earthly kingdom ruled by the Law of Moses
But the Father’s kingdom ruled by the truth (Mt26:29) for
He came as the King of glory (Ps24:7-10), the kingdom of heaven (Mt3:2).
But Yeshua was put to death by those who
Only longed for the restoration of Israel (Lk19:11; Ac1:6) and wanted to make Him king (Jn6:15), and
By Pilate who did not want to be seen as a traitor to the Caesar (Jn19:12).
Underneath a sign that said, “the King of the Jews” (Mt27:27),
Yeshua died but He said, “It is finished” (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) By dying with sin, death, and all curse and destroying all (1Co15:24; 2Pe2:24), gloriously established the Father’s kingdom (Php2:6-11);
2) Judged the devil the prince of the world (Jn16:31; 1Jn3:8; Rev12:9-10); and
3) With His blood purchased souls and made them His kingdom (Rev5:9-10).
He resurrected and entered the eternal kingdom of the beloved Son (Col1:13; 2Pe1:11).
The Holy Spirit whom He sent
Comes to the souls and the church purchased by His blood (Ac20:28),
The government of the kingdom of God (Mk9:1).
The Christian is he who loves the kingdom of the Lord Yeshua,
The kingdom established by the truth, ruled by the truth, understood by the truth.
He is a worker of the kingdom, the church (Col1:25, 4:11) and is faithful to death
For His kingdom to stand firmly (1Ti3:15)
For His kingdom to reign fully, and
For His kingdom to expand to all nations, as
He longs for the kingdom to come in glory and receive as inheritance (Lk22:28-30; 1Th4:16-17).
O Lord,
As things in the world are shaken,
We are not shaken because we have a kingdom that is unshaken,
Your church on earth, the kingdom where the truth is its ideology, its law.
This is our glory, our pride, our love!
Let all members of the Church of Jesus
Fully understand this and love the kingdom, the church to death! Amen.
