The Final Work You Must Do
Matthew 24:1~14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (14)

Jesus spoke about the disasters that would arise in the end times. However, He said that those disasters were only the beginning and that the end would come when the Gospel was testified to all people. That is why God’s children must correctly hold onto the covenant(Covenant) and vision that properly understand God’s plan(Vision). You must dream the sure dream without falsehood(Dream). It is okay no matter what happens. As long as you follow God’s Word which is power(Image), your life masterpiece will be left behind in your journey(Practice). Thus, there is no need for you to be dismayed. Then, what is the last work you must do?
1. The Last Covenant
You must hold onto the last covenant that the resurrected Christ left behind. He gave you the command to make disciples of all nations. You must make plans to do this(Matthew 28:16~20). He commanded you to proclaim the Gospel to all people in the world(Mark 16:15~20) because these people worship evil spirits and are enslaved to Satan. For 40 days Jesus spoke about God’s Kingdom and commanded you to go to the end of the earth to proclaim the Gospel. He also promised that He would give you the power of the Holy Spirit(Acts 1:8). If you hold onto this as your covenant, you have nothing to worry about.
2. The Last Experience
The last encounter the believer must have is the experience of Mark’s upper room. Mark’s upper room was the greatest place of answers on earth. After that experience, God’s five time schedules emerged and the disciples received power that transcended man’s power(Acts 2:1~47). Believers who have this experience can face anything and will be fine even when difficulties arise. After Stephen’s persecution, the answer of the Antioch Church arose(Acts 11:19~30). Eventually, the people who held onto this covenant were the ones who saved Rome.
3. The Individual and Church That Will Be Used Until the End
The individual and church that will be used until the end are those who know, enjoy, and relay “Only.” God will raise that individual and church as the main figures for missions and evangelism. Jesus prophesied that the temple would disappear and seventy years after His prophecy, Jerusalem fell to Rome and the temple collapsed. Thus, through those events, you come to realize that God’s Word is unchanging.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, although the 237 nations are becoming more advanced, this age is becoming more spiritually ill. Grant me spiritual strength to carry out the last commission Jesus gave regarding this age.

[Gospel Memory Verse] Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
