The platform of the 8th Remnant movement
Acts 1:3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

Fear is what strikes us the most. More than answers, hardships find us. However, if we want to be great individuals we must learn the laws by which we enjoy hardships. Large ships come out when large waves roll. Whenever sufferings come to us, we must see the blessings hidden behind that suffering but we often fall at the face of the problem and end things there. How can we change the hardships that come to us into blessings?
1. The ten platforms of faith
We just need to have the platforms that do not shake. The first platform is the sovereignty of God. Everything is in the hands of the Lord. The second platform is the method of God being with humankind. The third platform is the promise that God did not abandon us, like orphans, but is with us through the Holy Spirit. The fourth platform is the Word of God that is fulfilled as a promise unto us. The fifth platform is the church at which the people of the covenant have gathered together. Because the Holy Spirit works at the church, it does not crumble. The sixth platform is that the place I am at is a missions field, thus a place where I must receive answers. The seventh platform is that God is in control of our life, death, happiness and blessings. The eighth platform is that our death has already been determined so we must stand before God. The ninth platform is the fact that there absolutely is a heaven and hell. The tenth platform is that the footsteps of evangelists will never lose its reward. We must engrave and remember these ten platforms in our hearts.
2. The platform of Mark’s upper room
The Mark’s upper room members of the Early Church experienced that Christ resurrected in complete form. Therefore, the people of the Early Church grabbed onto the platform of Christ, the kingdom of God, and the filling of the Holy Spirit and had complete victory. Not only did they have victory, but they also received the answer of world evangelization.
3. The platform of the Remnant movement
We must continue the Remnant movement so the Gospel can be relayed to the next generation. As Paul discovered Timothy, he relayed the sure covenant of being strong in the grace that is in Christ and entrusting this Gospel to reliable people. Because of this, we must receive the answer of the platform of the Remnant movement, no matter what the hardship. The hope of God to relay the Gospel to the next generation is the RUTC.
-You must firmly establish your platforms of faith so the culture of the RUTC and Remnant movement can arise.
