The Lord’s House to Egypt

 

Genesis 47:1~10 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojourning are 130 years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojourning.” And Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.(9~10)

Those who possess the covenant can never fail until the covenant is fulfilled. Joseph became the governor and gave answers to Pharaoh, and his father Jacob, who came to Egypt, blessed Pharaoh. Like so, God perfectly prepared for Jacob and Joseph’s lives. Holding onto God’s eternal covenant, what must you leave behind in this world?

1. The Covenant That Jacob and Joseph Possessed
Jacob ran away from Esau. During his journey, he received the blessing of Bethel from God. He also wrestled with an angel in front of the Jabbok River and won. Much later, before he went to Egypt upon Joseph’s invitation, he gave a burnt offering. When he arrived in Egypt, he blessed Pharaoh. However, Jacob had lost hold of the blessing of the temple. Even Joseph, who became the governor and moved the world, also lost hold of that blessing. In the end, Joseph lost hold of the Gospel culture that would relay the covenant.

2. Powerful Nations and the World
At the time when the blessing of the temple was lost, Egypt built a magnificent royal palace, a museum that moved the world, and a temple that took away people’s souls. It is the same today. Through powerful nations, Satan tries to conquer the world. Starting now, you must see what God desires and begin a covenantal prayer.

God desires a temple of “24 hours” that can save and heal the 237 nations and make Remnants into the Summit. He also desires a museum where Remnants can visit and see evangelism materials concerning historic churches and the footsteps of evangelists who pioneered the Gospel movement. Starting today, hold onto what God desires as your covenant and start preparing.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be the day when I hold onto the covenant that revives me, the posterity, and the church. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Is the Resume That Pertains to Your Life?

In the resume that pertains to your life,
You have nothing to boast or write about.
However, if you do have something to record,
everything you’ve done is because of God’s grace.
That is why you give all glory to God.

God has given you the mystery of Christ as a gift,

For the works that God desires the most
which are restoring the Gospel;
saving the 237 nations; healing the entire world;
and making Remnants into the Summit, offer your life’s resume.
