Thank you.
Will you please read 2 Tim.4:7?
(READER) “I have fought the good
fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally there is laid
up for me the crown of righteousness.”
Yes. I have
fought the good fight and kept the faith: since I have fought the good fight
and kept my faith and gained victory, there only remains a golden crown for me.
Throughout my entire lifetime I have fought the good fight of faith and gained
full victory, and there only remains a golden crown for me, the reward of
heaven. Isn’t that a beautiful end of life?
And in John
19:30 Jesus said, “I gained a complete victory in all My conflicts, now I have
finished. There only remains a heavenly throne for Me. ” Was He a wonderful Victor?
Now, then
at the end of our entire lifetime, if we could also say, “I have finished all
things on earth. I gained full victory in the good fight of faith without a
shame before the heavens and the earth, there only remain a crown of
righteousness and a throne for me in heaven,”: if we could finish our life with
that satisfaction, how blessed people we would be! Don’t you want to be like
that?
As I went
to church when 17 years old I learned about the life of Apostle Paul and
Jesus. I envied them so much and said to
myself, “O how can I also gain such a full victory like Paul without a single
failure? How will I be able to say like Paul and Jesus, ‘I have finished the
race and gained victory in the good fight of faith? There only remains a golden
crown and a heavenly throne for me. ’?”
I envied them so much. That became my earnest wish.
But after
finishing the 70th meeting, I found that I also have become able to
say like Paul and Jesus – “I have fought the good fight and kept my faith and
gained complete victory. Therefore there only remain a golden crown and a
heavenly throne for me.”
I never
said that by 70th meeting. This is the type of gospel which has to
start with fight and end with fight. Since I had to plunder souls from Satan
taken captives by him, every step should be a fight. True gospel is supposed to
go through unceasing fight. Therefore at the beginning of this work I used to
pray like this, “O Father, You have helped me so far to live a perfect life
without regret and gain victory without a shame. But I’m afraid I might bring
disgrace to Your name like Hezekiah by living any longer. So please let me
sleep now. There appeared so many Elijah’s today here now.” I prayed like this
so many times. But my Daddy did not answer to my prayer by 70th
meeting but kept on dragging me so far. Step by step I was very watchful not to
misstep, and I finally became a warrior who gained full victory in all battles.
I had
envied so much the life of Apostle Paul and of Jesus when young, but now I
don’t envy them anymore. In the presence of my Father who helped me gain full
victory without a regret in all battles of my life I became able to say, “I
have finished the race, fought the good fight, and gained a perfect victory;
therefore there only remain a golden crown and a throne for me in heaven.”
Now then,
how can we gain such a full victory in all battles? I am going to tell you how
to do that this hour.
I hope you,
in this battle, do not make up your mind not to fail even once but gain a full
victory through the rest of my life until Jesus comes. I hope you don’t try to
gain a full victory through the rest of your lives, or say to yourselves, “I
will make up my mind and gain full victory for 10 years from now on,” or “I
will gain victory for 3 years,” or on the New Year’s Day, “I will gain a full
victory for this year.”
I hope you
don’t do that. Just make a decision and say to you, “I will gain a full victory
only today. I’ll be a perfect conqueror only today.” “Please don’t try to gain
victory for 2 days. Make up your mind before God to gain a full victory only
today. Will you do so? Then let’s look up the Bible. Ex. 34:11.
(READER)
“Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before you
the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite
and the Jebusite.”
Yes, observe
what I command you this day. Behold, today I will drive out from before you all
the enemies that has surrounded you. Lev.9:4.
(READER)
“Today the LORD will appear to you.”
When will
the Lord appear to us? He will appear tomorrow? He will appear for 1 year? He
said He would appear to us only today.
Hebrew 3:13
tells us to advise one another and be conquerors while it is called today. Only
today. In other words, we are not to add yesterday nor tomorrow; He told us to
be conquerors only today. Ps. 118:24.
(READER)
“This is the day which the LORD has made.”
When is the
day the Lord has made? Tomorrow is the day which the Lord has made? What is
this day? Only today is the day the Lord has made for me. God has given me
neither yesterday nor tomorrow; only today is the day He gave to me as my
entire lifetime. This is the day which the Lord has made.
(READER)
“We will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Yes, let us
gain victory, be happy and rejoice today. To say again, it’s my day today. It’s
my day. Because the Lord God my real Father has given this day to me, it’s my
world today. And he said he would appear to me today. He also assured that He
would destroy all enemies that surrounded me through many layers. And can there
be any enemy who can overcome me today? Not one.
That’s why
Jesus said in Matt. 6:34, “Worry about tomorrow; today’s labor is sufficient
for today.” Please never think about tomorrow’s fight today nor think about
yesterday’s failure or victory, but be victors only today which the Lord has
given us. I hope you don’t forget that the whole lifetime God has given us is
only today. Don’t try to gain victory for 2 days or for 1 year or for the rest
of your life, but try to gain victory only today.
If somebody
says to you, “You must be a perfect victor in all battles until Jesus comes,”
can you say “Sure, I can”? If anybody says, “Be a perfect victor for 10 years,”
can you say yes? If anybody says, “Be a victor for 1 year,” can you confidently
say yes? We have no idea as to what will happen during the year.
But if
anybody says, “Be a perfect and holy victor only today without committing sin
even in the thought,” you can confidently say yes, can’t you? Yes, you can.
Only today! That’s the problem.
Once there
were some Christians in a prison in Rumania ; and one of them was a
young man who had been beaten up so bad on the back and couldn’t move the whole
body. Being a young man, he was lying down all the time being fed by other
prisoners because he couldn’t move anything but his mouth.
But all the
other prisoners, in spite of being healthy themselves, keeps complaining,
“Before coming here I used to be well treated. When I came in here, my wife was
sick…. But now I am in such a stuffy place as this.” They all keep complaining
as if there were no God. Then this young man says,
“Brethren,
look up the sky. The sky is always blue yesterday, today and eternally; it
never changes. Our God never changes either. Why do you complain? Be of good
cheer. Be happy.”
Then due to
this one paralyzed young man all the prisoners become victors.
Brethren,
even if you may be a patient on the verge of death, if you are told to be
perfectly pure and holy and a victor only today, that’s no problem. In this
journey of life on earth nobody can excuse, “Oh because I was too weak, I was
defeated by Satan. Because I was sick, because I was a woman, because I was too
old, I became a loser.” This kind of excuse cannot be accepted in the judgment
of heaven. It can never be tolerated. Our Daddy
is a God of so great love and so tender character that He never gives us any
too heavy burden knowing that we became totally degenerated for 6,000 years and
became so weak and diseased.
Parent may
say to a big son, “Bring that big sac of salt”; but to a little son he won’t
say that. What if he is crushed to death?! He will say, “Bring a bowl of salt;
bring a shoe from over there.” Because we became so weakened, diseased, and
degenerated for 6,000 ears, our Daddy never tells us to gain victory for 1 year
or for a decade or for 2 days; He wants us to gain victory only today. I hope
you be perfect victors only today.
Don’t
listen to anybody around you who complains all the time. I walk around your
tents quite often at night and in the daytime. Then there are a lot of losers
sitting in the tents. Of course there are some beautiful brethren who yielded
their seat to others since it’s so compact in here and are listening through
radio outside or in the mountain. But there are some who are snoring so badly
in tent when everybody is being transformed and receiving all the treasures of
heaven inhere. And some others are complaining together about this place, about
this and that. Walking around the tents, I hear them. What a loser’s!
Brethren,
your today’s victory are recorded in heaven in golden letters not to be erased
forever. It will remain there as an eternal victory. And your today’s failure
is recorded in heaven as an eternal loser. This today will never come again.
Therefore our whole lifetime is only today. So if you gain victory only today,
tomorrow will come as another new today and the next day too. If you be victors
only today everyday, your whole life will be adorned with pearls victory after
victory. Do you understand?
Our Daddy
is so tender and mercy that He never requires us to gain victory for 2 days. He
asked us to gain victory only 1 day; and if we still can’t do that but become
losers, how can we excuse in the Heavenly
Court before Jesus, saying, “I was too weak, I was
too old”? He will say, “Have I asked you to gain victory for 10 years or for to
days? I asked you to gain victory only for 1 day.” We won’t be able to excuse.
Brethren, I hope you make a decision fight now to gain victory only today
You don’t have to envy the life of
Apostle Paul or of Jesus. You don’t have to envy my life at all. You are well
able to be greater victors than me or them. Only if you obey our Daddy’s call
to gain victory only today, you will be able to be even greater victors
sufficiently.
Brethren, I compare to you,
probably I am much weaker than all of you. Since I started this work I have had
this meeting over 70 times. Then totally I stood on this pulpit for 700 days.
And 10 hours a days comes to 7,000 times of battle so far. But through 700
days, 7,000 of battle with Satan I never knelt down to him even once but gained
full victory in every battle.
Then let’s think about Adam. His
wisdom was 20 times greater than ours. The fact that he had wisdom 20 times
greater than ours means that he was as good as a god compared to us. Do you
understand? Even in a small school they say, “Your IQ is 80, yours is 130.” In
spite of such a little difference, one becomes valedictorian and the other
becomes the last. But Adam had wisdom even 20 times greater than ours; that is,
he was not an equal human being with us but a god compare to us. Isn’t that
right? Adam was a god. He was a complete god.
But even that Adam god was complete,
overthrown by Satan just like a leaf being blown by the wind. What about Jesus
the second God the Creator God? Satan even carried Him to a top of a mountain
and tried to throw Him down. Such a tremendous person as dam was so helplessly
overthrown by him, the greatest giant Samson was over thrown by him, Elijah was
overthrown, and Moses was overthrown by him.
And how could this man gain such a
perfect victory in every battle in spite of having been most degenerated for
6,000 years? There was a key. Brethren, as for Jesus of 2,000 years ago
compared to me, He was a giant. It is said that old man’s health is just like
fine weather in autumn. No matter how strong and healthy an old man may be,
once he gets collapsed he gets collapsed so quickly and dies just as it
suddenly rains sometimes on a fine day in autumn.
When this earth became degenerated
for 4,000 years, 5,000 years, and 6,000 years, the difference was as great as
between heaven and earth.
Nowadays the earth is on the verge
of death. Jesus of 2,000 years ago; since He was 2,000 years less degenerated
than us, He couldn’t be compared with me, to say nothing of Adam and Samson.
Such great giants as Samson, Elijah, Moses, and Adam were completely overthrown
by Satan, but being 2000 years more degenerated than Jesus as I am, how I could
gain such a full victory in every battle without a single failure despite of my
birth from a farmers’ home. Would you like to know how?
The only key is to gain victory
only today as our Daddy and Jesus required of us. Throughout my public life so
far I fought in battle over 7,000 times for 700 days.
When I am invited for a meeting
sometimes I am in bad shape. In the beginning I used to hold 2 meetings a
month. At that time we didn’t even have video machines and used to hold
meetings twice a month or 3 times in 2 months. I could have only week, 10
days,, 15 days, or 20 days of rest in between. After 1 or 2 weeks of rest I
started again; later I became too exhausted.
In my home town there was a huge
walnut tree. One year it bore walnuts tremendously a lot, but after bearing
them it died next year, He over-exhausted himself. He produced too many of them
and exhausted himself completely and died.
Likewise, I with my finite human
body exhausted myself and became so weak that I couldn’t even walk. Just then I
used to receive invitations to hold meeting. What is more, lots of enemies kept
coming to interrupt the meeting. And in that situation if I say to myself, “o I
have to speak for the whole 10 day period, from early morning till late evening
everyday,” if I think like this, I can’t even leave home. I might collapse
being crushed by the burden.
I never think that way. I just
leave home saying, “The battle I have to fight is only today.” But I feel very
tired on the way here and talk to my driver, “Let’s stop here. I want to have a
short time to pray and rest.” Being a speaker who is to preach for 10 days, I
feel so tired on the way to the meeting and take rest on the mountain on the
way. And how can somebody like that carry out the meeting and gain victory?
I just go up the mountain and pray,
and start the meeting from that night. Then I never say, “O how can I do this
for 10 days?” I never say that. I have only today which my Daddy has given me,
who also said, “This is the day God gave to you; therefore gain victory only
today. Do not worry about tomorrow; gain victory only today.”
As Jesus spoke to us, I only finish
the first lecture – “Summary of the Congregation.” I try to do only that hour
with my best and do it for a little bit less than 2 hours. After that I cry out
to myself, “I am a victor today,” and go to bed. And I don’t have tomorrow. My
entire lifetime is only today. Brethren, please don’t think you have tomorrow.
Tomorrow, our future is in our Father’s hand. Those who worry about future are
depriving God of His authority. And you should not think about yesterday either
that has flowed away like cloud and water. No matter whether you failed or
gained victory yesterday, you have to forget it.
The Bible says that God is a God of
the living, not of the dead. Do you remember? It means that He is a God who
appears only to those who are living. Since yesterday passed away already, my
spirit and body of yesterday is no longer alive; they have gone away with
yesterday. Isn’t that right?
Tomorrow is the same: my body and
soul is not alive tomorrow yet. It’s not my day yet. Only today my soul and
body are living. Only today is mine and I am living only today. Therefore the
living God appears to me today since I am living only today. That’s why He
said, “The Lord will appear to you this day, and drive out all your enemies:
Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.” The living
God declared that He would appear to me today and give me power to destroy all
of them.
So, after finishing the first
lecture splendidly I say to myself, “Wow! I gained victory today.” I go up to
my room and say to my wife, “I finished today with perfect victory.” It is
said, “To start is to finish half.” If I only finish the first lecture, that’s
the same thing as I already finished the whole meeting with perfect victory.
After finishing the first lecture with full confidence I say to my wife, “I gained
perfect victory this meeting,” and I never think about tomorrow. I just go to
bed in peace. If a new today comes again, the living God who promised to appear
to me who is living appears to me again. Then I finish splendidly again. After
that, I go to bed in peace.
Then people say, “Lots of enemies
are coming tomorrow, in order to interrupt this meeting, break down this
temple, they say they are coming tomorrow. But since I have nothing to do with
tomorrow, I just gain perfect victory today.
I like this saying: “If I am pure
and clean today, I am a holy saint today.” That means, “I can live a holy life
only today.” Do you understand? If you live a clean and pure life today, you
are a holy saint today. So you can live only today day after day.
The Bible emphasized only today.
That’s our Daddy’s request towards us that we should be victors only today
without adding yesterday or tomorrow. We can interpret this the other way, “One
day’s victory is eternal victory.” Therefore if we gain victory only today, we
are accounted as eternal victors. Your one day’s failure is recorded in heaven
as eternal loser. I hope you don’t make that humiliating record in heaven but be
recorded as the most glorious victors, never to be erased forever. So if you
gain victory today and another today and the other today and so on, you will be
perfect victors throughout your whole lifetime.
Therefore in spite of being no
better than Adam, Samson, Elijah, Moses, and Jesus I gained such complete
victory in all battles as this without a single failure. All I did was only to
obey the request of my Daddy and Jesus perfectly. While fighting I looked back
my past and found I gained complete victory so far without a single failure.
How thankful!
Therefore those who worry about
tomorrow are those who have no God. To say again, their God is dead. Those who
fully trust and take strong hold on God, who is living today, will never worry
about tomorrow. Do you understand? Those who worry about tomorrow are the ones
who betrayed God and whose God is dead. Those who departed from God worry about
tomorrow and regret about yesterday.
Those who take strong hold of God
and gain splendid victory in today’s battle can never worry about tomorrow. Do
you worry about tomorrow? Those who are defeated by Satan and serve him today
say, “Oh I’m gong to overcome Satan tomorrow.” In spite of being defeated by
Satan and serving him today, they say they are going to overcome tomorrow! How
funny!
After finishing the 70th
meeting I wrote this: -- “THE PRINCE WAITING FOR THE DAY OF TRIUMPHAL
CELEBRATION”
After gaining victory after victory
through ceaseless battles,
The Warrior, waiting for the day of
triumphal celebration…
Let me tell you one more thing before
reading this.
Now, Satan was always defeated by
me everyday since I was determined to gain perfect victory over him every
single day by putting my whole trust in God my living Father and taking strong
hold of Him. Running away from me, he always says, “You Park Myung-Ho! Let’s
see tomorrow. I’m going to bring numerous soldiers of mine and destroy you
completely tomorrow.” Then do you know how I say to him, “All right. Let’s see
tomorrow. But today I’m going to kill you.” I run after him and destroy his
head right away.
It is said, “Don’t be afraid of one
who says, ‘Let’s see tomorrow.’” Being defeated by me in every day’s battle,
Satan keeps saying, “You Park Myung-Ho! Let’s see tomorrow. I’m going to bring
many trucks of my soldiers and kill you.” I hear people say that they are going
to come with guns or knives. But even if they come up to the pulpit and do
whatever against me, I have never yielded a single inch to them but gained full
victory in every battle. I never yield a single inch in today’s battle: I am
not a bit concerned about tomorrow or yesterday. I gain perfect victory only in
today’s battle. I can never yield a single inch to him in today’s battle only.
No matter whether they rush up to
the pulpit with knives or with guns, I am not shaken at all. Therefore in front
of this warrior who never yields in today’s battle, Satan was always defeated
and only ran away, cursing, “Let’s see tomorrow.” Then I say, “All right! Let’s
see tomorrow.” However, he has been totally defeated by me so far; he could
never gain victory over me at all.
Then the next day he truly comes
with his numerous soldiers. But since I put my whole trust in my Almighty
Father who appeared to me today, he can’t overcome me at all. So, after gaining
70 times of victory in 70 times of battle, 7000 times of victory in 7000 times
of battle, I wrote like this. In fact, 7000 times of battle is merely on the
pulpit. There have been a lot of even more furious battles away from the pulpit
in the world. Jesus spent in public ministry merely for 3 and half years, but
this final battle has lasted over 7 years so far, and that, with such a weak
and most degenerated body as this for such a long period of time. Jesus of 2000
years ago didn’t do so hard as this, for 10 days. Do you know why I am doing so
hard today? We all became totally degenerated and mentally retarded children;
that’s why He confines us here and teaches us so hard, painstakingly.
Throughout 6000 years nobody, Even Moses didn’t bother to do this kind of 10
day period meetings. 10 day meetings!
THE PRINCE WAITING FOR THE DAY OF THE FINAL TRIUMPHAL
CELEBRATION
After
completing all the missions and numerous battles,
Having
achieved victory after victory in all battles,
The Warrior
of heaven waits for the final triumphal celebration.
Abandoning
His life like mist in the ceaseless battles of the past,
Fighting ceaselessly over and over
with overflowing courage,
He finally
adorned all His past with never-ending victory.
Without
being coward at all, without tolerating a single retreat,
Only for
the honor of the heavenly kingdom, only for the glory of the King of the
Universe His Father,
The Prince
of heaven, Park Myung-Ho, carried out all battles with honor and glory.
When the
entire universe deplored and the whole earth trembled before the army of Satan
the most wicked devil under heaven,
When the
pitiful beings of the earth were helplessly conquered and trampled by him under
feet and killed by him with no one to help,
He broke to
pieces the head of this Satan the king of devil with a rod of iron that breaks
earthen vessels,
And cleared
off the revenge of all the heavens and the earth which has been kept for 6000
years.
O what a
glorious and splendid honor His past declares!
Now, putting
His sword of truth into the sheath which has sparkled with a terrifying air,
Michael the
great Prince is waiting for the declaration from heaven to enter the gate.
Where has
His majestic appearance disappeared which represented His fear battle?
Has He been
such a naïve child? How innocent and pure He is!
How come He
is so weak against love! How come He is so shy!
O who can believe that He is the
warrior who destroyed all devils of the universe?
But His
name is to fill the whole universe and His honor shine eternally in the
heavens.
The King of
the heaven will love Him alone and let all innumerable beings kneel down before
Him,
May thanks
and praise is rendered to His Father and Him for ever and ever.
Amen.
Hallelujah!
March 25,
1988 after the 70th
congregation.
In spite of
having received such a tremendous truth as this you have been defeated this way
and that way and become losers. Why is that? I pondered deeply during my rest
at home. And I found why; everybody says, “I’m going to be a victor this year.”
“I’m going to be a victor by the next meeting.” You were doing this way, as I
peeped at you. That’s why you became loser everyday.
Who told
you to worry about tomorrow? Who told you to worry about tomorrow? Tomorrow is
in our Father’s hand. Our future belongs to our Father. Don’t infringe Him of
His power. Those who worry about tomorrow are the ones who departed from God
and whose God is dead. Our God is living. Just take strong hold of Him who
appeared to you today. He said, “This is the day which the Lord has given us; let
us be happy and rejoice TODAY.” I hope you be happy and rejoice TODAY.
Therefore
when Jesus said, “Things of tomorrow, worry about them tomorrow; today’s worry
is enough for today,” He pointed at His own life. That’s how He gained perfect
victory in all battles. He never thought to Himself, “O I’m going to gain
splendid victory for 3 and half years. I’m going to gain splendid victory for
33 years.” He never made that sort of decision. “I will gain a perfect victory
only today. Just today.” That’s why He could be a perfect Victor throughout 33
years of His life.
Brethren
and sisters! Please don’t infringe into God’s authority, nor waste time in regretting
your past failures cowardly, nor think about yesterday’s victory either. You
don’t have to do that. Forget about yesterday completely like water which
flowed away already, like clouds which passed away already. Don’t worry about
tomorrow which has not come yet, in which neither your soul nor your body is
alive. God promised to appear to you today in whom you’re alive right now; be
victors only today. Therefore one day’s victory is eternal victory.
I have
been leading this sort of life. Some of you, due to religious problem, came out
from home or abandoned jobs. No where to go! Going through so much trouble
without homes! Well, I am also wandering here and there without house of my
own. Of course our brethren made me a house; but I don’t live in there all the
time. I spend most of my time for visiting churches here and there sleeping in
this church today and in that church tomorrow.
So, if I
slept in this church today, that’s my home. If you were driven out from home
and slept here last night, this is your home. This is your house. Who else is
the owner? One who slept in there, he is the owner. Not the one who built that
house or the one who bought it for some million dollars, but the one who sleeps
in there, he is the owner.
Since I had
sound sleep here last night after being driven out from home, and since I am
receiving God’s word here right now, how happy I am! I have such a nice house
as this, I ate such nice foods, and I’m sitting here together with such lovely
brothers as these! Don’t worry about tomorrow. If I go somewhere tomorrow for
missionary activities and sleep there, then how happy I am! Since, God gave me
such a nice place where I can sleep without getting rain. Only if you do not
think about tomorrow you can never be defeated. You will gain victory
continuously.
But if you
say, “Oh when am I going to have this kind of house?” due to a greed for
tomorrow you become a loser. Even a popular song of the world says, “Who is the
president but one sitting there?” Isn’t that right? One who is sitting there is
the owner. Not the one who bought the house but the one who live in there; he is
the owner of that house. One who ate the food, he is the owner: not the one who
bought it.
Since you
slept in such a beautiful place as this here and are eating the bread of
eternal life and also ate lunch today, how happy we are! Did you starve today?
We had lunch here! How happy we are! Don’t worry about tomorrow. “Things of
tomorrow, you can worry tomorrow. Today’s worry is enough for today.” If
tomorrow comes, our Daddy who promised to appear to us today will appear to us
tomorrow again for sure, in order to feed us and take care of us.
“I see!
Live only today? All right, I’m going to sell everything and give out to
others. I can be fed in one of our brethren’s house. Just live today!” I am not
saying that. If you earned $10 today from even junk selling, you can use $8 for
yourself and save $2. You have to do what you have to do today faithfully. Why
save $2 then? In order to aid your brethren who are in worse situation than you
are.
Even if we
save millions of dollars, it’s all right. That’s not sin. However, if worldly
people save even $1, it’s sin. Why? Because they save it just for their own
sake, that’s selfishness. But since we save it for the sake of needy brethren,
that’s not sin no matter how much money we may save. You can save as much as you
can just in order to help your brethren who are in worse situation than you and
also to aid God’s work. That’s how you can do faithfully what you have to do
today.
And if any
of you are planning to go abroad for international missionary work, you don’t
have to think, “Well, I can live only today. I don’t need to do foreign
missionary work. I can just live here by myself.” You can go to the embassy and
go through necessary procedures you can do today. Whether it will work well or
not tomorrow, you don’t have to care. You can do just what you can do today and
go to bed in peace.
And God
said, “Do not commit sin even in your imagination.” How can we not commit sin
in our imagination through the whole lifetime? However, only today you can get
rid of all evil thoughts from your brain and try to live a holy life with holy
heart. Can you live just today without committing sin even in your thought?
Anybody can do that. Then your whole lifetime will be a perfect, holy,
impeccable life. Therefore by being holy every single day, your continual life
becomes molded firmly into a holy life and you can receive the seal of God.
So, if you are a farmer, you can
sow seeds faithfully today. “Since God told us not to worry about tomorrow, I
don’t have to sow anything. I can’t just eat up what I have.” I am not saying
that. Just to do what you have to do today faithfully. Whether the seeds will
sprout or not tomorrow, you don’t have to care. Just do what you have to do
today faithfully. This is what I mean. And as for tomorrow Daddy will be
responsible.
Here say, “The Lord will appear to
you this day and drive out from before you Amorites, Hivites, Perizzites,
Hittites,” and so on. These people represent enemies who besiege God’s people
with six fold on their way to the heavenly Canaan .
The last people of God who journey toward heaven today are the same. All
religious denominations, politics of the world, the entire world of Satan has
besieged as with 6 or 7 fold besieging and are trying to get rid of us. They
are making plans for themselves saying, “Let’s get rid of all of them who
attend that meeting in Korea.” And make a constitution of a nation, just as the
enemies made a Law in order to kill a single person Daniel. Likewise, people in
all countries will make an extra law in order to destroy us.
Brethren and sisters, when they
assemble and make a law to destroy us, please be happy today. Just be happy
today and gain victory only today. Don’t worry about tomorrow’s battle. If I
had worried about the whole ten day meeting or about just 2 days, I could have
never gained a single victory, not to mention of 7000 victories. Well, people
say enemies are coming tomorrow with guns or knives and they exactly rush up to
the pulpit. People say many trucks of people are going to come tomorrow in
order to interrupt the meeting. And if I worry about tomorrow, do you think I
can sleep at night? “Oh if so many people come tomorrow, how can I fight with
them?” Probably I can never sleep at all.
But to obey My Father’s word was
even better than offering sacrifice to Him. That’s why I am exceedingly happy.
Since I gained victory today, I could sleep with a smile and peace without a bit of shame
before God and before the heavens and the earth. If tomorrow is given Me again
and a new day comes again, I believe My Father will appear to Me again.
Therefore, I can sleep in perfect peace. If I think to Myself at night, “Oh
what if a lot of enemies come tomorrow! What if hundreds of them come
tomorrow!” if I think that way, how can I continue speaking for 10 or 12 hours
the next day?
I am fully satisfied with today’s
victory. “This is the day which the Lord has given you; therefore rejoice and
be happy today.” I hope you don’t worry about tomorrow but live a holy only
today and gain splendid victory today. This is how you can live a perfect life
without committing sin even in your imagination. Then I’m going to read you one
thing before closing this hour. That’s why the title of this hour is “Gain
Victory Only Today.” Now let Me read you one thing:
“Today is Mine, Tomorrow is
Satan’s.”
Please repeat after Me: “Today is
Mine, Tomorrow is Satan’s.”
Therefore, in conclusion, anybody
who worries about tomorrow is the one who got into the hand of Satan. Even if
you are deadly sick and are on the verge of death, you can gain victory only
today. Any serious patient can be a victor.
TODAY IS MINE, TOMORROW IS SATAN’S
“I gained the greatest victory
today,” I exclaim to the entire universe.
Since I gained such a glorious
victory today,
I have nothing to do with Satan who
plans on bringing Me evil tomorrow.
My Daddy has given Me only today,
And I have nothing to do with
tomorrow which He has not given Me.
Only today’s victory will be My
eternal victory,
This will remain forever in the
record of heaven.
Satan who was completely defeated
by Me in today’s battle
Runs away dreaming vaguely of
tomorrow’s victory,
But I gained a clear victory in
today’s battle.
At night upon the bed Daddy
provided for Me I fall asleep captured by immeasurable happiness.
Oh I give thanks to My Real Daddy
who gave Me only today,
Who gave Me a sufficient power and
strength to overcome Satan today,
To whom also I present
wholeheartedly the crown of victory I gained to today. Hallelujah!
Therefore I became the most
glorious victor throughout 6000 years of history despite of Myself being the most degenerated and weakened
in history. If you also do just as I did, you will be greater victors than
Moses, Elijah, and Jesus who was 2000 years less degenerated than us.
I hope you therefore be able to finish
your life with full confidence and declare without shame before the platform of
heaven, “There only remains for Me a crown.”
What song would you like to sing?
455? 457? After singing hymn no. 457, whoever wishes to pray may do so, please.
