He Spoke about What Was Good
2 Samuel 7:25~29 “And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.” (28~29)

Every problem in this world is a spiritual problem. Giving the answer to those separated from God and lost in the 12 problems is the most valuable work. This is why a church that proclaims “Only Gospel,” relays it to the next generation, and delivers it to the 237 nations is urgently needed. A church building where these people can gather and worship before God is also essential. There are key points you must know in order to be used in the work of temple construction. What are they?
1. God’s Interest Is in the Flow of This Age
Through the Exodus, the Israelites entered into the wilderness where God instructed them to build a tabernacle. Receiving strength through worship was the only way to live.(the Age of the Tabernacle Movement) After this, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd temples(the Temples of David, Zerubbabel, Solomon, and Herod) were raised, but they collapsed within a period of seventy years.(the Age of the Temple Movement) During the Middle Ages, the church lost its original meaning. However, through Luther and Calvin, a new change was brought in. Fast forward to the 21st century and it is an age where the Gospel has faded. God is looking for the church that will proclaim and deliver “Only Gospel.”
2. Restoring the Heart for Temple Construction
Temple construction is God’s historical request. One day, David returned home victorious from battle. David who was in his palace saw the Ark of the Covenant out in a tent, so his heart grew heavy. God spoke through prophet Nathan about David building the temple. David gave thanksgiving to God who had said these good words and prayed that the house of the precious servant to undertake this work would be blessed.(2 Samuel 7:18~29) Temple construction is the work that saves the individual, the next generation, and the future.
3. The Answers of All Believers Who Achieve Oneness
David’s heart sought after God’s temple. The Israelites voluntarily gave all their resources and possessions.(1 Kings 29:1~19) Like this, voluntarily giving resources in faith is bringing gifts before God. Offerings are prepared in advance. It is the act of giving your heart and expressing a joyful heart before Him. The covenant must enter into the hearts and thoughts of all believers. Only when you receive healing in your thoughts can you receive God’s blessings for this age.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, I thank you for Your grace that saved me. Let me raise the church that proclaims the Gospel, relays it to the next generation, and delivers it to the 237 nations. Let me be used for this work.
[Bible Reading] Luke 7
[Gospel Memory Verse] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
