In regards to the coming future, there's surely something that you must keep in mind. Why did God reject Judaism in which people lived according to the Word, and the medieval church which left behind many different types of culture? Presently, why is Christianity powerless? These must be known so that today's churches can become a model church like the Church at Thessalonica. (1 Thessalonians 1:7) The Bible is the story of the destruction of the Jewish people. God has told you not to become like that. To do that, you just have to do what God desires. God told the Israelites to build the Tabernacle, or temple. That refers to churches of today. You must know that the Master of the church is the Triune God and that the key to the church is Christ. The church must know the meaning of the Three Feasts and the three courtyards. The courtyard for sojourners must exist so that unbelievers can rest, and people with spiritual problems or disabilities can go there. Leaders, Remnants, and TCKs from the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes must be able to receive training and rest as well. Churches that contain systems must be built where pastors and church officers, on their own, can gain spiritual strength and pray. What kind of church was the Church at Thessalonica which became a model for all believers?
1. The Gospel of Power (Acts 17:1~9)
For three Sabbath days, Paul and his team went into the synagogue as was their custom and explained the imperativeness of Christ. They conveyed the reason why Christ died on the cross and resurrected.
2. The Original Color of the Gospel (1 Thessalonians 1:1~7)
It became a church which produced works of faith, had endurance inspired by hope, and carried labor prompted by love. (1 Thessalonians 1:3) Furthermore, through power; the Holy Spirit; and deep conviction, (1 Thessalonians 1:5) it became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. (1 Thessalonians 1:7)
3. The Eternal Gospel (1 Thessalonians 1:1~2)
The fact that Paul always remembered the Church at Thessalonica and sent epistles was a testament of the age. Silas, (Acts 16:19~40) who was imprisoned with Paul, went to Thessalonica with him. In the place where Paul preached the Gospel despite being stoned, his meeting with Timothy of Lystra and Jason of Thessalonica were people who possessed the eternal Gospel.
Like this, you must prepare your vessel, too. Moreover, you need to prepare the Gospel that can be understood by all peoples and raise up multiethnic church officers; ministers; and specialized missionaries. In the end, bartizans for each nation and prayer bartizans must be raised in every church.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may this week be a week of grace; healing; and a time when all believers restore the economy of light. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
