The disciple Tychicus communicated with his teacher, Paul. They made a spiritual connection concerning the covenant, prayer topics, and the field. Tychicus was a beloved worker who personally relayed Paul’s letter to the church of Colossae. He faithfully and sincerely informed the circumstances of individuals and the church, relayed the flow or stream of the covenant, and brought comfort. With whom should you communicate and what must be relayed?
1. A Person of the Covenant Who Communicates with God
God is the God of the covenant, and you are a person of the covenant. God’s Word(covenant) will absolutely be fulfilled. That is why God uses the people of the covenant and guides them to victory. (The 7 Remnants, Daniel, and the workers of Romans 16) Starting now, directly look at your reality; properly see the facts; deeply look into the truth; view spiritual facts first; and concentrate on God’s plan.
2. A Person of Power Who Communicates with Others
If you only seek after your own profit, you are an incompetent person. Conversely, competent people care for and consider others first. People of God can communicate with others. They do not act submissively before renowned individuals and specialists, or experts. Instead, the people of God relay the solution(the Gospel) and save them. Also, they don’t look down on those who are lacking or weak. They want to serve them out of love and desire to be with them. They don’t exclude those who are in the wrong as well. In order to save those people, the people of God should approach them first. This act demonstrates that they are the ones who possess power.
Are you a person of renewal who communicates with others without being told to do so? You must always receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (John 14:16~17) Before Remnants stand before people, they must place themselves before God. You, too, must become the main figure of spiritual communication who transcends the big and small works, as well as the answers that are placed before you.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, through spiritual communication with You; others; and myself, may I heal the world and be led to raise the next generation.

[Deep Questions] Q. What Is “Planning”
That Is Unseen to the Eyes?
There is a famous church in Busan where renowned individuals are its session members. I went to that church as an assistant pastor. Although I applied as an assistant pastor for their Sunday School, the session members conducted my interview. One elder asked me what my specific plans were for evangelism in the department I was applying for. Over five hundred adult believers gathered; however, there were only sixty Sunday School students. Even though there were over thirty teachers, they weren’t able to give worship.
I began a plan of evangelism that was unseen to the eyes. I made a chart that showed the rate of attendance for teachers at Sunday School and presented it to them. They were ashamed and unable to lift up their heads. That day, I made an announcement that I would personally visit the homes of the teachers who missed Sunday worship. Perhaps this teacher missed the announcement or thought I was joking, but that teacher was absent the following week. Thus, I visited the teacher’s home, along with the students. This news spread rapidly in the church. I made a two earnest requests. On Sunday mornings, let’s wake up sleeping children and bring them to church. As teachers, let’s attend early morning prayer service on Sundays. And, I even prepared breakfast for them.
Among the children, one thousand disciples were raised. There wasn’t enough room in one place, so in order to give my sermon, they were divided into groups and sent to the first, second, and third floors. I also had to think about how to conduct Summer Bible School where everyone gathered in one location. After the entire meeting at church ended, the children went back into their regions and gathered again in smaller groups. It was there where I realized the Darakbang movement of the Early Church. God had given me this experience that completely changed my life.
