The power of God that changed the world and changed history was revealed through David who was filled with the Spirit of the Lord. We must not be deceived or shaken by the world; rather, we must save it and change the culture of darkness. Because this is impossible by our own strength, we must possess the mystery of power that God provides. How can we enjoy the mystery that David enjoyed?

1. Enjoy life through the Gospel

The 7 Remnants in the Bible did not hold onto the Gospel as mere knowledge. Despite being sold into slavery and thrown into prison, Joseph realistically enjoyed God being with him. When we fearlessly hold onto the Gospel of God being with us in the face of problems, these difficulties become a way to enjoy the Gospel and an opportunity to experience the power of God. The moment we embrace our past as a platform and do our best, God allows us to experience the great power of the Gospel in our future.

2. Create a masterpiece through the Gospel

Even when you perform trivial tasks, if you work to the best of your abilities then it becomes a masterpiece. When you meditate upon the Word within the Gospel and do your best, every task becomes an opportunity and you will receive the blessing of unique answers. Just as David was not lazy in herding the sheep as a shepherd, when you do everything before God, your life becomes a masterpiece in the Gospel and God’s time schedule for you is revealed. God is waiting for the one who will take the Gospel to save the world that is swept over by the forces of darkness.

3. Change the priority of your life

Numerous people only pray when they encounter problems and difficulties. However, when you enjoy the Gospel in your daily life there will be no need to worry when problems and troubles approach you. The 7 Remnants of the Bible possessed the power of prayer of communicating with God. Therefore, they knew God’s plan in the midst of problems and knew that their difficulties were the answer to proclaim the power of God. When you prioritize the Gospel in your life, you can enjoy the mystery of God in your life 24 hours a day.
