You are a child of God if you are within His covenant. However, an unbeliever serves Satan as his or her slave and runs down the path of destruction. Because God has promised His Kingdom, a Gospel leader must be able to hear God’s Word. Why must you wait and hope for God’s Kingdom?
1. You Have Been Called to the Greatest Field – a Life Masterpiece(The Field of Culture)
Why does God tell you to hold onto the covenant? He wants to call you to the greatest field and establish His Kingdom. Even though the Remnants of the Bible were weak, the almighty God saved their fields. God has led you to the process of world evangelization. Here, you will break down darkness and leave behind a life masterpiece in the greatest field of culture.
2. A Method to Enjoy the Greatest Answer – True Healing
Relaying the solution of God’s Kingdom is “healing.” Moses relayed the greatest answer before Pharaoh and his people; Prophet Samuel accomplished it at Mizpah; and a young shepherd boy named David boldly stood before Goliath. Furthermore, the greatest answers were delivered in the midst of slavery in Egypt; in Babylon while being held captive, and in Rome while being colonized. In every age, Remnant leaders boldly testified of the covenant that healed the field.
Waiting for God’s Kingdom does not mean to sit idly. True success is finding God’s time schedule within prayer and enjoying that answer. Expecting God’s Kingdom to come upon all fields is the Gospel leader’s mission and blessing.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me not to be impatient or to rush. Please utilize me as a Remnant leader who hopes for and enjoys Your Kingdom. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Must You Avoid and What Must You Expect?
Someone once approached me and began to openly express his thoughts. He mentioned that a church must do things this way and that way and this person was a problem because of that. Another person lacked this so he was useless. The pastor was great, except he had this shortcoming. All the elders were shaking because they thought a certain way.
The more I listened to his ranting, the more I became sensitive and frustrated. So, I avoided him.
Not all churches on earth can be entirely perfect like Heaven. However, according to the one who erupted in complaints, churches are not churches, but Hell.
I am not an unbeliever. I am God’s child who is within His covenant.
Therefore, I concentrated on God’s Word. From then on, I was able to see. I clearly sketched the field and His Kingdom. I also yearned for Christ and expected God’s Kingdom to be established.
