The start of life camp
Acts 1:3 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 o forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. ♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #366 Open My Eyes, That I May See (#485 in previous version) Do you have a conflict with someone? Did you fully believe in the mystery of enjoying God’s kingdom, and yet spent a difficult day full of problems? Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God, but oftentimes, we get trapped in our own snares and are unable to enjoy our blessings. Then, how can we start anew today?
1. Our self-made snares
Nothing can pose as a problem to the children of God. The only problem is that we make our own snares and get trapped in them. If you have a conflict with someone, yield to them and just bless them. If there are problems at work, this is your opportunity to pray. God has planned these situations in order to give us greater answers. Complete failure does not exist for the children of God. Do you believe in God? Problems are absolutely within God’s sovereignty and they are needed in the process of completing God’s plans. Nothing can be a problem when we enjoy the kingdom of God.
2. Have assurance in the covenant
When you are free from your own snares, that is when Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God, and the filling of the Holy Spirit comes to you as assurance. This is when Jesus Christ becomes your only solution. Also, Christ who has all authority in heaven and on earth and is with us through the Holy Spirit becomes believable too. More importantly, we begin to see the unbelievers who are bound by Satan and are still walking the path of destruction, and we come to realize how precious the work of evangelism is.
3. Enjoy the kingdom of God
You can enjoy the mystery of God’s kingdom when you are alone. How can you enjoy it? It is through having time set aside to gain strength every day through His Word. Find and write down your prayer topics through the Word. Pray for evangelism as you set plans for evangelism within your schedule, meetings, and fields. At this time, God will send His angels to work ahead of you and behind you, curses and disasters in your field will crumble, and the forces of darkness will be bound. If you can enjoy this mystery on your own, then you will be able to see the vision that God has given to you, and you will be able to see another realm that the world is not able to comprehend. It is at this time that we receive the answer of true happiness and thanksgiving overflowing in our souls. Forum Topic Are there hindrances that keep you from enjoying the kingdom of God?
