The 24 of Those Who Remained
Philippians 3:7~9│"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him,"

All of those who have the Gospel possess the blessing of an evangelist. Likewise, God has called you as the one who remained. Just like the 7 Remnants; those who were captives in Babylon; and the believers of the Early Church, those who remained must discover the “only” given by God. Discovering God’s absoluteness and yours that are worth staking your life and living the life of “24” is the walk of faith.
1. Discovering What’s Most Important
If you discover your God-given absoluteness, you’ll also discover what’s unnecessary. In doing so, you’ll realize that you mustn’t waste your life and precious time on such nonsense. Ultimately, like Paul’s confession, you’ll come to the conclusion that everything, other than “only” and absoluteness, is rubbish. Those who’ve discovered what’s the most important will enjoy the happiest “24” within the mysteries of worship and prayer.
2. Discover the Things of God
By discovering what’s the most important, you’ll enjoy the things of God. By enjoying the blessing of the throne in your life, the blessing of the Spiritual Summit will begin. Moreover, the Skills Summit who sees the blessing of transcending time and space will begin to be actualized. Finally, the 237 nations will be seen in reality and the doors of the blessing of the Cultural Summit will open.
God, who is now with you, has given you the blessing to pray without ceasing inside the Holy Spirit. Also, God is with you and has given you the covenant so that everything works together to achieve good for the sake of the answer of “Oneness.”
Dear God, as You lead me, help me to discover the best that was given You and to enjoy the “24” of those who remained. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
* What Is Worth Staking Your Life?
If life is made from dust and eventually returns to dust, then life may seem empty.
If life is dragged to Babylon as a captive then thrown into the den of lions only to die, then life may feel futile.
However, if that life, which was dragged as a captive, resolves and discovers God’s absoluteness that’s worth staking one’s life, and if that life can walk on the path of those who remained and enter “24” with that fulfillment, then that’s the life of the one who remained and will be happy even if it’s thrown into the den of lions or is killed in a prison in Rome.
