Selective Concentration

Acts 11:19 / Now those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, telling the message only to Jews.

Hymn #323 Call'd of God, We Honor the Call (Unified Hymn 355)

Through Stephen's tribulation, the scattered ones healed the world. They had "selective concentration" in which they did "lifelong 24" regarding "one church," "one region," and "one nation." Important businesspeople and church officers of the Bible made choices to save the church, region, and nation throughout their entire lives and eventually saved the posterity.

1. Selective Concentration That Solves Church Problems
Just as Israel concentrated on the "Tabernacle Movement" and David focused on the "Temple Movement," tremendous works will arise when you stake your life by concentrating on the Word and prayer. The Early Church concentrated solely on the "Church Movement." At that time, the “3,000 Disciples Movement" arose through the businesspeople who went "all-in." Moreover, even if the believers weren't financially stable, they still gave everything to the church. Amidst persecution, the Church at Antioch was raised, and the believers gathered to pray even in the face of death. Epistles were written, transcribed, and relayed to the regional church. The solution to church problems is the "Prayer Movement," "Word Movement," and "Evangelism Movement."

2. Selective Concentration That Solves the Problems of One Region
Because the problems of one region were solved, 3,000 disciples arose and priests repented. in Samaria, the members of the Early Church focused on healing the sick and those who fell into shamanism. Furthermore, they entered regions where people were suffering from demon possession as well as the regions where people were diseased because of idolatry and healed them as well. If you focus on the sick, the region itself, and areas suffering from both ideological and spiritual difficulties, that region will be revived.

3. Selective Concentration That Solves the Problem of One Nation
The members of the Early Church concentrated on solving the problems regarding Samaria; Cornelius, the centurion; Greeks; and noblewomen. More than anything else, they plowed into the synagogues to save the nation. They also healed the sick in Ephesus. All those who participated in the works of solving the problems of Rome received historic answers.

At that time, just like Tabitha; Simon the tanner; Lydia; Aquila; and Gaius, your business will block disasters. When "limited concentration"; "selective concentration"; and "oneness concentration" take place, you'll transcend your church; region; and nation. Ultimately, you'll save the posterity. When you begin prayer, the Word will follow, and you'll see a stream and become a witness. Enjoying the infinite "3 Lives," "3 Transcendences," and "3 Unprecedented and Never-Repeated" is called prayer concentration.

Dear God, until now, You've made me make many preparations. Starting now, may the things that truly heal the age be edited through Your power. May "only," "uniqueness," and "recreation" be edited, planned, and designed. May "selective concentration" that truly saves this age arise. Please help me to prepare to receive lifelong answers. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
