The Background of the Believer and Church Which Did World Evangelization
Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

There is a tremendous background for the believer and church which did world evangelization. It is Christ, (Passover) Only Holy Spirit, (Pentecost) and the background of God’s Kingdom. (Ingathering) Jesus spoke of God’s Kingdom for forty days. Paul boldly testified of God’s Kingdom for three months in Tyrannus and said that the believer’s citizenship was not of this world, but from heaven. What covenant must you, who have this blessing, hold onto in order to do world evangelism?
1. Wait for and Enjoy God’s Kingdom
Those who were completely triumphant while enjoying the mystery of God’s Kingdom are recorded in Hebrews 11. These individuals enjoyed God’s Kingdom daily because they knew that faith was the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Furthermore, they were aware that God completed everything through His Word. (Hebrews 11:1-3) Like so, God’s Kingdom is absolutely established wherever the ones who are saved go. This was what Jesus told you to believe in and wait for. (Acts 1:3-4)
2. Hold onto the Vision of the Background of God’s Kingdom Being Established
The background of God’s Kingdom is revealed in all events and incidents that take place within your life. God gave Joseph the vision of the works of His Kingdom even before Joseph was captured as a slave. Even though it seemed as if Moses was taken in as an adoptee and David lived like a fugitive, in actuality, their lives were in the process of being used in the works of God’s Kingdom being established. Like so, when you enjoy the background of God’s Kingdom, He bestows unthinkable answers and uses you for world evangelization by raising you before the kings of this age.
3. Paul Who Enjoyed the Background of God’s Kingdom (Philippians 3:20-21)
Paul knew the blessings of God’s Kingdom and in acknowledging that, regarded the things of this world as rubbish. He pressed on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. He also made a confession of faith that the citizenship of God’s children is in heaven. He knew and enjoyed the fact that all creations are brought to control under the name of Jesus Christ. Like so, the eyes to see difficult and wrongful things will change for those who know the mystery of God’s Kingdom.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, thank you for making me Your child. May I enjoy the background of Your Kingdom daily as I enjoy the answers of saving my field and church, and please bind all the forces of darkness wherever I go.
