Specialty regarding Word fulfillment
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and spirit, joints and marrow, it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #204 Those who Hear and Do the Word (#379 in previous version)
God removed the ark, Ark of the Covenant, and Solomon’s temple, which are tangible things that many people can find, and instead left the eternal Word. The Word is complete because God is complete. Therefore, fulfillment of the Word is everything. What must you do to have the specialty of Word fulfillment?
1. You must go beyond the introduction.
You must overcome conflicts, problems, and answers. Most people cannot overcome conflicts. Often, they cannot overcome conflicts with other people. You must overcome the conflicts and problems of being at a loss or a gain, and personal matters. Then, you will succeed. You must also go beyond answers. When God’s works arise, you will receive greater answers if you are humble.
2. You must distinguish between what is the priority and what is secondary.
When you work, you must distinguish what is primary and what is secondary. The 7 Remnants in the Bible knew what they must do. For they knew what to do, they could yield all else and had no conflict. You must have specialization for what you must mainly do. What it means to be specialized is to see the task with depth and foresight. The thing that is foremost in life of faith is holding on to the pulpit message. Holding on to the Word, praying, and waiting for answers to prayer are most important and should be done first.
3. We must go together.
If you can distinguish between important and minor things, then you can go together with many people. Those who have gone beyond what is introductory can look at what is the priority and go together. In order to go together, you must first be considerate of others. Joseph was considerate of everyone. Paul was not self-assertive; he acted like a Jew before Jews and like a person without the Gospel before people without the Gospel. This is consideration. Also, you must cooperate in order to go together. You must do the faith movement to go together. What is most prominent in the field is unbelief. Therefore, you only need to wait without misunderstanding for God’s time schedule with His point of view.
- God works through the Word. Without Word fulfillment, nothing will work. We must hold on to the Word until the end. What is the Word that you have grabbed hold of today? Meditate deeply on the Word that you have grabbed on to.
