Within the midst of a crisis, God gave Elijah a new covenant. Like this, it's crucial for Remnants to hold onto the new covenant. To accomplish this work, church officers must create an evangelism bartizan to save Remnants. How can evangelism bartizans be raised? All they have to do is remain inside the prayer of "The 7 Bartizans.” By knowing the importance of both Remnants and of preparing for the future, evangelism bartizans can be raised. To church officers who know this, God will attach Remnants to them. At this time, there's something that church officers must keep in mind.

1. Don't Be Deceived by Difficulties
Difficulties may come. However, they mustn't be fooled by them. At Jezebel's direction, Elijah was sentenced to death. While Elijah was taking refuge, he sat under a broom tree; cried out to God; and asked Him to take his life. At that time, God sent an angel of the Lord to feed Elijah with spiritual food. Elijah was strengthened by that food and traveled for forty days and forty nights to reach Mt. Horeb.

2. Holding onto the New Covenant and Making a True Start
At Mt. Horeb, the true start arose. There, Elijah heard the gentle whisper of God. "I will appoint new kings in Aram and Israel. Find Elisha and anoint him, and seven thousand disciples have been reserved." This was the new covenant that Elijah held onto.

3. RT - Calling
The greatest blessing given by God is to raise Remnants. Elisha who had been farming with twelve oxen was called by God. Elisha knew that the age was facing a time of great crisis. When Elijah, who had been sentenced to death, called him, Elisha burned all his farming tools and immediately followed him. Like this, the resolution of one Remnant can save a nation and an age. That's why church officers must build bartizans to save churches and Remnants.

Obadiah protected 100 prophets. All he did was simply plant the seed of the covenant; however, that changed the entire world which was something that Obadiah could never have dreamed of.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, through the covenant that can never be forgotten, may church officers arise. May representative figures emerge as models. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
