Even now, God is fulfilling His Word for the people who are saved. If those who are saved get a taste of the fulfillment of the Word, and hold on to Jesus Christ as the answer for their life, and enjoy the work of the Holy Spirit through prayer, they will receive the answer of uniqueness. The one who has this enjoyment will receive answers as the spiritual leader, and succeed to the extent of being able to save the world. With what must I start my day in order to experience this answer?

1. The focal point of my life

What is the focal point of my life? When the kingdom of God becomes my focal point,Acts 1:3 my field will begin to change, and the blessing of meeting to save the fieldActs 1:14 will begin. In addition, as blessings of meeting continue, the door of evangelismActs 2:9~11 opens. At this time, you will discover the thirsty souls who are prepared in the fieldActs 2:41 and the disciple who will save the region. As the Gospel is shared with people who are spiritually and physically diseased,Acts 4:4 the Gospel movement to save the field will arise.

2. The focal point of evangelism

The field is filled with people without the Gospel who are suffering from spiritual problems that cannot be solved. Amidst them, there are disciples like Paul and the Ethiopian eunuch. Ananias was inside the focal point of evangelism and as a result, God granted his meeting with Paul. Likewise, God led the Ethiopian eunuch to Philip, and Cornelius and the disciples who would save that region to Peter. All I need to do is put my life in the focal point of evangelism that fulfills God’s work. This means that I am within the work of God that moves the world.

3. The focal point of missions

Right now, the entire world is caught within the culture of fortune-telling, the culture of idolatry and the demonic culture, and people are facing suffering because of spiritual problems. Going a step further, the field of the world is being conquered through religions and organizations in which the forces of darkness have influential power, and on the flip side, the churches of the world are losing hold of the uniqueness of the Gospel. At this time, if we enter into the focal point of missions by which the culture of darkness of the entire world crumbles and the kingdom of God is established, we will enjoy the greatest answer of world evangelization.
