How could Joseph who was a slave become the governor? How could the shepherd boy David become a king? How could the Early Church that was framed as a heresy do Rome evangelization? These people were “those who remained” and relayed the Gospel to places that did not have it. God poured down every blessing and gave all things to “those who remained” and possessed the Gospel. How were they able to save the world?
1. Those Who Remained, the Remnants
The Remnants of this age must remember their identity: “I am the one who remained, the Remnant. I am the Remnant who will break down darkness.” The Remnants of the Bible, Joseph and David, believed in this very covenant. The many hardships and sufferings they had experienced eventually became their journey to save the field and the world.
2. Those Who Remained, Church Officers
Obadiah was an important church officer who knew the covenant. He was a vassal who did his work so well that even the wicked King Ahab acknowledged him. At the same time, he was a disciple of Elijah who hid and supported 100 prophets. He was the hidden main figure who would later raise the 7,000 disciples and the Dothan movement. In the Early Church, the devotion of a few church officers changed Rome. Gaius was a disciple and host who helped Paul and every evangelist during that time.
If you go on the Covenant Journey, all answers will follow. The Bible compares the Remnant’s journey with that of a tree(Christ, the stump, a new sprout, a tree, and a forest). Just as Remnants who have laid roots in the covenant of Christ follow the Covenant Journey(C.V.D.I.P.), they will surely go on the journey of saving the world(All In, All Out, and All Change).
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, as the “one who remained,” help me to proclaim the Gospel in the places that are void of it, break down the forces of darkness, and carry out the mission of world evangelization. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
