Hallelujah!
We give all thanks and glory to God the Father who has been with our church until the 33rd General Assembly. I also thank all the delegates who have been praying with tears and working hard for the kingdom of God.
Dear church members,
says, “As chestnut and oak trees are cut down, their stump remains, so the holy seed is the stump of the land.”
In the cold winter, all the branches wither away and not a single leaf remains, no matter how hardy the giant tree may be. Moreover, if you cut down the root of the tree, it seems that everything is over without feeling the vitality at all.
Strangely, however, in the spring, you can see new shoots sprouting from the remaining stumps and branches growing again. This is because the life is deeply rooted in the ground.
Likewise, God’s plan and providence have been carried out through people of faith, and have never collapsed, despite any difficulties since human cultivation began.
Even when the whole world was full of sins and was about to be wiped out by the judgment of the flood, God left the righteous Noah to continue the providence of cultivation. You did.
Idolatry was rampant during the reign of Israel, but there were 7,000 remnants, including Elijah, who had not bowed the knee to Baal.
In this way, God has fulfilled the providence through the righteous left in various places like stumps. And when the time came, He sent Jesus, the Savior, to this earth, fulfilling the providence of human salvation.
The process by which this church has passed through many refinements and tests since its founding 32 years ago is also the providence of God the Father, who has been working at the right time.
〈Isa 55:11〉 says, “The word that goes out of my mouth will not return to me empty; it will do my will and prosper in the work I commanded and sent.
According to this word, God has faithfully fulfilled the vision and word of promise given to this church. At times, there were situations where it seemed like I was completely dead in the midst of God-allowed refinement, but each time I overcame such a process by faith, I received more blessings than before, and God received great glory.
says, “If God has been glorified through him, God will also glorify him through himself, and he will give it to you right away.” How can I dishonor my name? I will not give my glory to another.”
According to these words, God the Father will surely fulfill all the providences for the name of the triune God who established this church, and will also overflow the glory he has received through this church.
This denomination has God’s special providence and plan for world missions and the construction of the Grand Sanctuary. In order to do this, I must fulfill 100% of the power of re-creation, which is incomparably greater and more amazing than before, so I am filling the justice with gratitude. All of you who are here right now are those who have been with me during all the trials, and as spiritual longevity deeply rooted in the gospel of holiness, you must become the main players in fulfilling God’s providence. Therefore, when the day of glory arrives, I hope that all of you will prepare more with the Word and prayer so that you can be used as God’s tools to spread the fiery work of the Holy Spirit throughout the world.
Dear church members,
<1 Corinthians 4:5> says, “Do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will reveal the counsels of the heart, and then each one will receive praise from God.” Also, <2 Timothy 1:14> says, “Keep the good things entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Therefore, I pray in the name of the Lord that you can receive only praise from God the Father at the time when the Lord’s will is completely fulfilled by fully fulfilling what the Lord desires for each of you.
