Isaiah 6:13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will again be laid waste. But as the terebinth and oak leave stumps when they are cut down, so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.

It is God’s plan and method to fulfill the covenant of world evangelization through us. Yet, it is not easy for us to enter into the top 10% and 1% with our specialty when our fields are dominated by the forces of darkness. God’s wisdom allows us to prepare our vessels while we help each other at home and at church. It allows us to arise with the Gospel and proceed into the world according to God’s time schedule.
1. Gospel elite
Gospel elites are people who succeed with the Gospel. They possess the Gospel and skills like the 7 Remnants in the Bible. Many elites don’t have the Gospel and those who have the Gospel lack skills. Due to this unbalance, the Gospel is misunderstood as a religion. Gospel elites live for the Gospel, study in the Gospel, and overcome their weaknesses with the Gospel. Once they achieve success as elites, they don’t crumble like other people who don’t know the spiritual facts. Gospel elites possess true success. Gospel elites overcome the bad habits of their youth - which is such an important and sensitive period in life - and have an organized lifestyle that allows them to use their time wisely, and prepare a nature that befits a successful person. We who take caution in God’s Word, look up to God, and do our best are the Gospel Elites.
2. Self-reliant elites
We must become self-sustaining elites who rise on our own. What is the most difficult part of your life? Most students find it hard to wake up, study on their own, and pray. What about your life? How do you spend your time alone? Being able to do your work while alone, not procrastinating, and staying one step ahead are all the basics of becoming an elite. It helps to read stories of great and successful people who are leaders and learn lessons from their lives. We must check whether we have this special strength that allows us to rise on our own and transcend our limitations.
3. World elites
Language is one of the most important factors for globalization. The best way to do world evangelization is to learn foreign languages, and influence the world and the field with our specialty and uniqueness. If we challenge with the Gospel, all the while possessing the right vision, the time schedule will come for us to make this vision concrete through our meetings in our fields. The time schedule will come for us - who embrace the world - to see the realization of this vision.
