Wait for the kingdom of God(2011.07.28)
Wait for the kingdom of God
Acts 1:1~8 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. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.” (3~4).

What Jesus taught last during His earthly ministry was the Word about waiting for the kingdom of God and that when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we will be His witnesses. However, many people could not wait. The majority of people made a big mistake here. Starting now, how must we, who will save the age, wait?
1. Wait while enjoying
It will work if we do not just wait, but wait while enjoying tremendous blessings. It is about enjoying while grabbing hold of the covenant of the kingdom of God (Act 1:3) and the filling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) and praying (Act 1:14). In the midst of greatest hardship, the Early Church waited while grabbing hold of the covenant of the kingdom of God that Jesus Christ had promised and put their hearts together. While doing this, the time schedule of the Holy Spirit of Mark’s upper room on the day of Pentecost came. The door of evangelism opens in all places, and the disciples arise. Starting now, all you have to do is not be seized by unbelief at all, enjoy and wait.
2. Wait while sharing
You just need to share the kingdom of God with other people while waiting. You must grab hold of the Word of God through the pastor in the church, and make all your past that has already happened into a platform for blessings. We are to wait while enjoying the Gospel the best so that believers will not be seized in incorrect emotions. Right now, because churches throughout the entire world are not grabbing hold of the true Gospel, and grabbing hold of other things too much, they are faced with a huge crisis. In the midst of this, God has called us as evangelists. We are waiting while sharing this fact.
3. Wait while enjoying 24-hour strength
How can we enjoy the strength of blessings that God has given 24 hours a day? We can enjoy deep prayer in the morning, lunchtime, and dinner. We call this scheduled prayer. While healing our spiritual state, the state of our heart, and mental state through prayer and exercise, we can enjoy the blessing of God 24 hours a day. As the strength of the kingdom of God is tremendous, people of God, no matter who you are, can find and enjoy this. At this time, it is possible to be joyful always, pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances (1Thessalonians 5:16~18). Also, you can pray in the Spirit on all occasions (Ephesians 6:18).
- I have received salvation, so what are the blessings I have received? Try enjoying these blessings. Who is my friend whom I will share the blessings of salvation with? Try sharing the answers of the Gospel together. Today, 24 hours a day from beginning to end, do not cease in your meditation to God. Today will become the greatest day of blessings.
