Identity discovery
Acts 6:1~7 Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.” (3~4)
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #288 Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine (#204 in previous version)
Many people live their life of faith without knowing the Gospel correctly. The Bible tells us that we give up meeting together as the end of the world approaches (Hebrews 10:25). We must know this fact and have mutual communication with each other. Prayer, which is mutual communication with God, is the greatest blessing that all saved people should enjoy. When you mutually communicate with the people whom you meet through the Word, you will become a person who refreshes the spirit of God (1 Corinthians 16:18). How can we enjoy this answer?
1. We must discover our identity
Always ask yourself who you are. If you surely discover your identity in the Gospel, you will not be shaken even before a problem. God has chosen the people who will do His work as His disciples (Luke 10:1~20), and has opened the doors of world missions by raising the church of Antioch. Pray and discover how God has called you and what He wants to do through you.
2. Discover the answer of all answers
The answer of all answers is prayer taking place. This is being filled with faith. Receiving spiritual strength through prayer is the very first answer you must receive. If you restore prayer, you will receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. God will answer you in everything that you do and give you wisdom. Also, the Word will be witnessed to the entire region through you, and you will receive the answer of saving lives through the Word movement. This is being filled with the Word.
3. Discover the results
It is not an answer for things to take place as you wish, or even to have your greed and hidden motives fulfilled. God reveals answers when you pray after throwing away your motives and greed. When you enjoy answers to prayer and rely on the throne of heaven, you will enjoy the joy of lives being saved in the field through the name of Jesus Christ. Also, like Ananias who received the greatest answer of helping the evangelist by meeting Paul, and like Simon the tanner who joined the evangelism movement with Peter, you will receive the answer of devoting yourself for world evangelization.
