Everyone has a time schedule regarding God’s plan. That’s why you must first check your current spiritual condition, rather than contemplating what to do. Most people enjoy visible works; however, the Gospel is the complete opposite. Like yeast, the Gospel is unseen, yet absolutely influential.
1. You Must Save the Empty and Abandoned Places
There are many instances when people don’t care about those living in Korea and those who are overseas. However, in God’s eyes, they are the fields of 237, healing, and Summit. Paul is an example who did that ministry very well. Paul planted the Gospel in Onesimus who had been abandoned and led him to become the bishop of the church in Colossae. As you can see, church officer businesspeople must see and save the field through God’s eyes.
2. Where There Are Church Officers, a Future Exists
The church officers’ field is the future. That’s why, God blesses church officers first and wants Remnants to be revived through them. For those church officers who grab hold of this as their mission, the answer of the economy of light will rightfully follow.
The mission given to Elder Jethro and Rahab and the blessing of the offerings given to Obadiah who cared for the 100 prophets are the answers that future church officers will receive. Church officer businesspeople are witnesses who stand in the same line as that of the workers of Romans 16.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, please help me to become a church officer businessperson who will save the empty and abandoned places and the future. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Whom Does God Bless?
This is the story of a businessperson whose father was a pastor at a rural church. Because they lived in a rustic area, their circumstances were quite inadequate and difficult.
The pastor would often receive calls from churches in the city. Usually, when calls were received from large churches, pastors from rural areas would accept their invitations immediately; however, this father was different. He prayed over the request, but eventually declined.
“The church right now is in a very difficult situation, would it be fine if I left to the city? Furthermore, since living conditions here are rough, average pastors would not want to relocate here.”
That businessman and his brothers looked at their father’s choice and reflected on the role of a true pastor. As a result, they had no choice but to pray even more for the church and for their father, the pastor.
In time, God blessed that pastor and his family because the pastor took care of the church and the region before his own interests. The businessman testified and confessed his thanksgiving to God who filled his family’s every need.
