Spiritual strength that specialists must enjoy
Romans 16:1~27 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. (20) Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #86 Oh, the Best Friend to Have (#86 in previous version)
There is a strength that moves the world. Successful people fall deeply into religion because they gain something from it. Many successful leaders and professionals have personal fortune-tellers or have deep meditation. Especially, many cultural leaders or artists are suffering from spiritual and mental problems that others do not know about. Some suffer so greatly that they end their own lives. They have achieved the success that they so earnestly desired. So, why are they like this? It is because there is a being that brings spiritual chaos. The Bible tells us that the prince of the world, the devil, brings confusion to people. Therefore, specialists need spiritual strength.
1. The world moves at the hands of the specialists
The thoughts and ideology of specialists are controlling the world without us even realizing it. The Pareto principle states that 80% of the people or nations are controlled by 20% of them. The 20% of people lead world politics, economics, and culture, and 80% follow their decisions. Invisibly, the knowledge of specialists was connected with economy to develop into knowledge-based economy, and a minority influences the field of culture that seems so big. That is why nations, the world, and culture fell into crisis when specialists who were suffering from spiritual problems began to fall. We must not forget that evangelists with the Gospel have the commission to relay the Gospel to specialists who are suffering.
2. Spiritual strength
What a specialist need s the most is spiritual strength. In the Bible, answers appeared when the Word of God was relayed to specialists. Through the book of Luke and Acts, Luke relayed to Theophilus the fact that Jesus is the Christ and how world evangelization was being fulfilled by holding on to the covenant of Christ. Paul witnessed the Gospel of life to Priscilla and many other specialists, and the answer of saving the world arose. Apostle John relayed the Word to Gaius and Paul to Philemon, and God’s works began. If the Word is relayed, you not only gain spiritual strength, but also receive a direction for the future. By enjoying the spiritual strength, you will have your lifelong Word, and you will naturally come to enjoy the blessing of today’s Word, prayer, and evangelism. At that time, God will give us the Word that will change the age.
- What a child of God who has received salvation needs the most is spiritual strength. How are you enjoying spiritual strength when you are alone? Pray and prepare for an opportunity to relay the Gospel to a specialist near you.
