Today’s Word
1 Samuel 3:1~18 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am." (3~4)

We must plant the covenant of ‘Gospel elite’ in our children and our future descendents. This is not simply ‘elite’ but ‘elites’ who possess the Gospel. If Remnants just meet one factual model of a Gospel elite, they will be greatly influenced. Elites do not spend their today in vain. We must not lose hold of our today; we must enjoy the Gospel and make today the greatest day, and when we make our today the greatest, we can experience the lifestyle of the Gospel elite.
1. Today’s Word for the person who enjoys the Gospel daily
We must be able to see today while enjoying the Gospel. We must enjoy today while thinking about evangelism. We must enjoy today while equipping ourselves with the lifelong reasonable attitudes of the elite. As we enjoy the blessing given through the church, we must be able to see our today. Only then will today’s Word hold any meaning. Although this is the Word that anyone can easily hear, today’s Word realistically hits the heart of the person who thinks about the Gospel every day. Enjoying the Gospel daily means enjoying daily that Jesus is the Christ, the kingdom of God, and the filling of the Holy Spirit, just like the Early Church grabbed onto. Inside of this, you will have many evidences and experiences, and you will end up grabbing hold of today’s Word.
2. Today’s Word for the person who enjoys evangelism
For the first time in history, Deacon Phillip shared the Gospel in Samaria with a Gentile, the Ethiopian eunuch. Paul went to Macedonia and shared the Gospel, and this became the direct answer that wrote a new page in history. Paul established disciples separately at Tyrannus Hall and unfolded the Word movement for two years, and the Word spread all throughout Asia. Answers appear for people who embrace the evangelism field and enjoy evangelism when they grab onto today’s Word.
3. Today’s Word for the people who enjoy the reasonable attitudes of the Gospel elite
Regarding use of time, how we spend our spare time will cause our lives to crumble or build up our lives. As we exercise, we develop physical strength and the ability to concentrate, enabling us to study well. Reading books is the most important reasonable attitude that we must absolutely equip ourselves with. We must see the future in advance. Only then, will today’s Word strike us in a special way. The consuming passion of the Ark of the Covenant that was embedded in the heart of Samuel was relayed to David, and David grabbed onto this as today’s Word. We must embrace the heart and mind of the RUTC through which we will be able to correctly teach our future descendents the elite’s lifestyle and reasonable attitudes and the evangelist’s lifestyle - the RUTC that will become the global platform upon which they can race towards the world to their heart’s desire.
