Jesus called His disciples and sent them into the field right away. They experienced the amazing works that arose when God’s Kingdom was established. Are you undergoing crises or hardships right now? If so, it is an opportunity to experience God’s Kingdom. Moreover, it is a precious opportunity to experience the answer of the Mt. of Olives. Then, why must you experience the covenant of the Mt. of Olives?

1. The Reason Why You Must Experience the Mission of the Mt. of Olives
Don’t look at today’s difficulties because God will provide a future. Don’t focus on the incidents that happen in a span of one or two days. Instead, remember that you are inside His providence that has led you from long ages past to eternity. God has given you new imprints, roots, and nature. Through your life, God wants to leave behind an important mission and fulfillment as masterpieces.

2. The Content of the Mt. of Olives
Inside the journey of holding onto the covenant of the Mt. of Olives, God will heal you first. In order for you to hold onto this mission and have victory, He even gave you the power to overcome everything. Furthermore, when you grab hold of the covenant of world evangelization, you will receive the prepared answer of being commissioned to churches and the world. You can experience this covenant solely through “only.” Moreover, it is actualized through the power of the Holy Spirit, and not your power. In this manner, you will be raised as a witness.

The small prayer that began when the disciples gathered at Mark’s upper room changed the field and led them to conquer Macedonia and Rome. Determining factors rarely emerge from large works. Right now, all you have to do is hold onto the covenant as your mission and begin doing small, but precious works.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be the day of thanksgiving and deep sense of emotions when I discover and confirm the covenant of the Mt. of Olives. Let the Covenant Journey begin as I hold onto the mission. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Are the Reasons for Life and for Living?

Some people say that they live because they can’t die.
Conversely, others live by clinging onto vague hope that something good will happen in the days to come.
Some even endure life because they’ve suffered unfairly.
There are various reasons why people continue to live.
However, there aren’t many people who seek God’s reasons for sending them into this world. Only a very few people live for that reason.
Are successful businesspeople who possess a great amount of wealth or politicians who possess tremendous power and influence truly happy?
People must be with God in order to be genuinely happy. If not, they’ll certainly face misfortune and unhappiness.
Because people are spiritual beings, no amount of success can satisfy or make them feel content.
Are you truly happy?
