The commission a Remnant missionary must enjoy
Acts 1:1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach. Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English

God called you as the missionary to save the age. Missions work is not limited to going abroad to share the Gospel. God gave the commission of missions and the blessing of sharing the Gospel to all who believe in Jesus Christ. But missions and evangelism are burdensome, and you most likely have no idea what blessings and commission you should enjoy. What is the greatest commission a Remnant missionary should enjoy?
1. Problems are the start of blessings
When faced with difficult issues, you need to stop praying for a solution and start praying for the eyes to see the plan of God. After Abraham sent his nephew Lot away, just as God desired, God promised to give Abraham all the land that he sees and walks on. Joseph also knew what God wanted from him as he was sold into slavery and imprisoned, which prevented him from thinking on his own. When you see the will of God behind the problem, the blessing of missions will begin to unfold.
2. Restore three things
As a Remnant missionary, you must first draw a conclusion in your life around Jesus Christ. This means that you are happy with just Jesus. Moreover, you must understand that the kingdom of God manifests in your field, and experience the power God gives to you. When you pray with the Word God provides, the doors of evangelism open up and your spiritual eyes will be restored. Henceforth you will communicate with God through the Word and notice the spiritual state of those around you.
3. Actualize the desire of God
God desires for you to save all those who are dying in the world. God wants to fulfill this wish through you. When you find what God wants to do through you, unbelief vanishes and you will see only Jesus Christ. Moses knew what God desired through Israel, and Isaiah knew God wished to crush the forces of darkness in Babylon. God adds on the historic blessing upon those who actualize the will of God.
-You are a Remnant missionary whom God has commissioned out to the field. Enjoy this blessing in your life and question what God desires as you meditate on the Word. World Missions Conference Lecture 1 / 2012.2.14
