Devotion to Life

Leviticus 19:1~10 │ “Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.” (10)

You, who hold onto the covenant, need God’s strength. This is especially true because you have to give your entire life to save multiethnic people and Remnants who are dying. God wants to use your life for this work. Then, what must you first know today?

1. Distinguishing Family Lines
Holy means “to be set apart.” In order to use you and your family for world evangelization, He has first separated and called you ahead of time. Joseph who knew this fact was neither troubled by his brothers’ persecutions nor discouraged as a slave.

2. Distinguished for Worship and Prayer
The worship and prayer that you give to God is different from the worship and prayer of those who live religiously. When the Israelites gathered to pray, the works of the Exodus arose(Exodus 5:1~12:46). When the Israelites prayed and commemorated the Three Feasts, light came upon everyone and idols were broken down. Furthermore, God distinguished their work in order to raise them as the Summit to save and heal the 237 age.

You, who possess God’s covenant, are distinguished as a child of God and have no reason to be deceived by the world; people’s words; or even your own power. Even if you have a brief, but separate time of personal worship, you’ll be filled with the five powers(Spiritual Power, Intellectual Power, Physical Power, Financial Power, and Manpower) given by God.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, as a Remnant who has been distinguished by You, help me to know exactly who I am in order to embrace my mission. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Is Devotion?

The dictionary defines devotion as “offering one’s body, heart, and entire strength.”

However, there are limits to devotion when you use your own power or abilities.

That’s why the devotion you give today is not from yourself, but from the strength that you’ve received from God.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

You must first receive strength that God gives today.

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6
