The Absolute Goal

Joshua 1:3 / I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

Hymn #267 Tis the Promise of God (Unified Hymn 201)

When God guides you, He has "the absolute goal" in mind. However, in order to fulfill that, He has first given "only, uniqueness, and re-creation." This is God's primary goal. By seeing those, you'll see what comes after success.

1. Seeing in Advance
The first answer that comes is "seeing in advance." Because it's seen in advance, this becomes the "path."

2. Possessing in Advance
Even though you didn't go, you'll "possess in advance." Joseph saw in advance and possessed the covenant of world evangelization. (Genesis 37:1~11) David also saw in advance and had "the absolute goal" of preparing the temple. (1 Samuel 16:1-13) This became none other than "strength."

3. Enjoying in Advance
Because you possess it, you can now "enjoy in advance." This is called "a walk of faith,” or a journey. It's also called “life” which is what you should enjoy.

4. Conquering in Advance
Next, you'll "conquer in advance." Even though you haven't conquered anything yet, you'll have already conquered it. To Joshua, God said, "I have already given you every place where you set your foot." God didn't say, "I will give it"; instead, He said, "I have already given it." (Joshua 1:3) This is called "direction."

5. Fulfilling in Advance
Within "fulfilling in advance," eternity emerges. It doesn't just disappear after being on this earth; rather, what's eternal is fulfilled.

You must know these and be able to apply them. In particular, the start of the 7 Remnants was "Nobody." Don't forget that you went from "Nobody to Platform to Outsourcing to Everybody."

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I put down what's mine and the standard of the world and grab hold of Your sure covenant. May I see in advance Your accurate guidance regarding world evangelization and go on the unwavering path. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
