The Church and Temple Construction of Those Who Know the Gospel
Matthew 13:11~13 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Unbelievers live having lost hold of the spiritual aspects in order to lead their physical lives. However, children of God must invest which are physical in order to discover spiritual blessings. You who possess this Gospel and know this true value must raise the church and construct the temple. Constructing the temple is like for a farmer sowing his fields. If this gospel is truly planted in your heart, it will bear tremendous fruits. What must you who know this great blessing begin?
1. Constructing the Correct Church That Knows This Blessing
First, you must hold onto the blessings given by God which are the covenants of Christ, God's Kingdom and the filling of the Holy Spirit.(Acts 1:1, 3, and 8) When you hold onto these covenants, the answers of the wind and fire of Acts 2 which man cannot impede will begin. The Antioch Church that evangelized the whole world began with the answers of Acts 2.(Acts 11:19~30) You must start by restoring God’s blessings that were kept secret for long ages.(Romans 16:25~27)
2. Temple Construction of Those Who Hold onto the Covenant
People with the covenant of the Gospel should begin temple construction. Of course, you can still give worship without a temple, but there is still a greater battle that lies ahead. You must build a temple to fight the cultural war against the cultures of unbelievers, the masonic war against the masons of Satan who have taken hold of developed nations, and the future war so that the future generations will be able to see and know the Gospel. Finally, you must build a temple where the 237 nations can gather to praise and worship the Lord. God will use your today and entire life for the works of saving the 237 nations.
3. Constructing the Heavenly Church That Lies in His Throne(Today's Devotion)
Constructing the heavenly church that lies in God's throne is today's devotion. You must restore spiritual strength in order to do this work. If your life and profession lie in the masonic war of this age that God most delights in, you will surely be victorious. God will certainly fulfill His works through your life, so starting now, you must prepare the evidences to testify before the world.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, may I spend my life becoming the witness who restores the Gospel that has been lost by the world. May I stand as the main figure of the masonic war.
