God has revealed spiritual facts in order for you to relay the answers that nobody else can give(Romans 16:25). He leads you to do what nobody else can accomplish(Romans 16:26) right now, and He will be with you forever in order to save the place where nobody else can go(Romans 16:27).
1. God-Given Tacit Power(Tacit Power)
Unbelievers put their trust in scientific facts. However, believers know that spiritual facts are beyond common sense. The Remnants of the Bible enjoyed spiritual blessings and the mystery by God’s grace. They did not blame their family problems or waver because of social or national disasters. They weren’t satisfied with their reality and weren’t discouraged because of others. In the end, the disciples of the Early Church and Paul saved and healed the age through the power of Gospel.
2. The Hidden Main Job(Evangelism) and Healing and the Side Job(Academics and Occupations)
Those who are wise can discern what their priorities are. The Remnant’s main job is an evangelist who heals the age; saves the church; saves the family; and saves the field with the Gospel. However, the world misunderstands the side job as the main job. You must steadily live the evangelist’s life inside the Covenant Journey. Besides, developing talents with specialty and handling missions diligently and maturely are also because of God’s absolute grace.
You can stand as a witness before the 237 nations of the world when your academics or occupation, the evangelism movement, and the Gospel are connected. You are the main figure of world evangelization and will be used as a model of the disciple movement no matter where you go and what you do.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, let the hidden things that You have prepared be revealed so that I can become a witness of receiving the answers that will follow. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

[Deep Questions] Q. What Kinds of Questions Must Children of God Ask?
When problems come, children of God don’t blame others or make excuses. Rather, they ask this question.
“What is God’s plan?”
Moreover, they don’t run away or avoid life-threatening crises.
Again they ask, “Why did God allow this to happen?” They might even have a lifelong enemy or a prickly neighbor.
Once again they ask, “Why did God allow me to meet this person?”
If you ask the wrong question, you cannot find the correct answer. When you ask the correct question, you’ll realize that you have already received the answers.
“If we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead-by him this man is standing before you well.” Acts 4:9~10
