World evangelization that begins from the individual
Philippians 1:1~5 I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, (3~5)
♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #368 Heart Longings, Lord, Jesus (#486 in previous version)
World evangelization is something that begins with the evangelism of the individual. Without changes in the individual, there is no world evangelization. First of all, it is most important for the individual to be changed by the Gospel. However, most people find personal prayer to be the most difficult thing to do. If personal prayer is not taking place, then we cannot receive specific answers even though we work hard and know the Gospel. We will also shake every time we face problems. How must we start in order to have the Gospel heal us and receive answers?
1. We must heal our lifestyles first
Preparing our lifestyle is what we must do first, because this is a problem area. First, we must heal our lifestyle of prayer. We must deeply enjoy grace and peace through prayer. Everything must begin with grace and end with peace. We must give scheduled worship for 10 minutes in the morning and prepare specific lifestyles. We must also deeply meditate upon our daily schedules for 10 minutes. Next, we should pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit in our own way. Secondly, we must heal the lifestyle of our daily lives. Among the things we do daily, exercise is the most important. Thirdly, we must heal our financial lifestyle. In particular, plan the use of even the smallest sum of money and put into action plans for offering.
2. Record four things
We must leave behind records of four things throughout our lifetimes. First, we must leave behind a prayer notebook. We must discover today’s prayer, Word, and evangelism and record it everyday. Second, we must leave behind an evangelism notebook. From now on, we must make detailed plans according to our schedules, put small things into action, and record them. Third, we must leave behind a disciple notebook. From now on, we must find and write about evangelism disciples as we act as guardians for them. Fourth, we must leave behind an offering notebook. Those who are in particularly difficult financial situations must challenge with the utmost effort. In particular, those who are in business with their parents need to set an important offering plan and record it. This is a great inheritance that we can leave behind for our children and our descendants.
3. Traces of faith
From this moment on, we must leave behind traces of faith that reveal the glory of God. The 7 Remnants and people of faith like Luther and Calvin are representative individuals who have left important achievements in church history. We know what will happen in the near future. This is called vision.
