The 7 Remnants of the Bible made their problems into their life’s work. The mystery of victory can be explained by using the following acronym: C.V.D.I.P.(Covenant, Vision, Dream, Image, and Practice) If you see your God-given vision while possessing the covenant of the Gospel, you will have a covenantal dream. Through prayer, if you vividly enjoy this dream, an actual masterpiece will emerge. How can you make your problems into masterpieces?
1. A Life That Fulfills the Covenant – Today(Past, Present, and Future)
Because Joseph possessed the covenant and his brothers didn’t, he was able to overcome great hardships. He enjoyed and thought about the covenant to the extent of dreaming about a sure vision of world evangelization. He put this into practice in the field where he was sent as a slave. In the midst of clearly enjoying the covenant, he resolved his past and present problems, lived in the present of fulfilling the covenant, and saw the future of covenantal fulfillment.
2. Make Your Flaws, Strengths, and Incidents into Works of Art
Joseph and Moses’ loneliness; David’s crisis; and Elisha, Isaiah, and Paul’s spiritual problems were made into their works of art or masterpieces. Especially, David strengthened his merits which were writing and composing music in order to leave behind masterpieces. Furthermore, they received the answer of a Summit which helped them to spiritually see their environment(families and churches) in order to heal their problems(conflicts and crises).
Even though you cannot control your surrounding environment, situations, and people’s thoughts, there is one action you can take. You can become a Spiritual Summit. If you hold onto your God-given covenant, you will leave behind a masterpiece that nobody can block.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I hold onto the covenant that will be fulfilled. Today, please help me to leave behind my life’s masterpiece. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
