Introduction

Today, we continue with the second part of our series on possessing the gates of our enemies, titled "May you be the mother of thousands." This statement was made by Laban to Rebekah, and it is particularly powerful, enabling Rebekah to become the mother of thousands. You know, there is a peculiar thing about life: it is not that you can become rich just because you want to, or that you can have anything you desire. It has nothing to do with what you think, but rather with what you do.

The outcome of a person's life is the result of their internal logic. For example, if someone is paralyzed, they have an internal logic that causes their paralysis. Why does someone get cancer? They have an internal logic that leads to their cancer. Nowadays, people like to eat organic food and understand health preservation, but the most important poison comes from the thoughts and intentions of the mind. If a person's thoughts and intentions are clean, then whatever they eat or drink will simply be eliminated the next day.

The outcome of a person's life is a reaction to the logical system within them. When I was building the church, an old pastor once told me that the final form of the church you create will be a reflection of your character. Now I understand that what kind of person builds what kind of church. If a person is filled with a worldly logical system, they will live out corruption. Many of us have been scammed out of money, some not just once or twice, but multiple times, and are still living in emptiness and chaos. As I once said, being scammed once sets you back to pre-liberation, being scammed twice sets you back to before creation.

Why are we talking about "May you be the mother of thousands"? It is about possessing the gates of our enemies. This logical system is a spiritual one. If you are filled with a spiritual logical system, according to what God has revealed in the Bible, you don't even need to understand it too well. What will I do as the mother of thousands? You don't need to worry about it, just do it well. The outcome of your life will be a glorious, honorable, and incorruptible blessing. Originally, everything is under God's control.

Actually, don't blindly believe what I say, observe yourself carefully. See when you are operating with a worldly logical system, and you feel tired, uncomfortable, and upset. If you are upset for a long time, and uncomfortable for a long time, a psychosomatic illness will become a real illness. If you are filled with the pursuit of becoming the mother of thousands, like Rebekah, you will see God's blessings poured out abundantly upon you. Now we are just half-hanging, sometimes worldly, sometimes godly, sometimes spiritual, sometimes worldly again, oh my goodness. Is this more impressive than sit-ups? You are doing sit-ups, going up and down. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say a sixty-story building, sometimes climbing up, sometimes coming down, you spend your whole life climbing stairs. Upsetting, isn't it? Observe carefully, study carefully, and after studying, understand what kind of stuff is inside you. Originally, pleasing God is seeking glory, honor, and incorruptible blessings in eternity, and then God will reward him with eternal life. If people seek only the present, the corruptible, God will reward them with wrath. Originally, it is all God's doing. I see many strange phenomena in the church. A pastor who seems to love God very much on the surface gets cancer, and the suffering is inhuman. Why is that? Cancer is a heavy and great disease, a long and lasting disaster, what else is it if not a curse?

Don't think that loving God on the surface is enough, God will not make a mistake. A sister said something quite interesting, "Pastor, I don't accept what you said about not living a small life, I just want to live a small life." I said then go ahead and live it, right? Can I stop her? I said, "Live a small life, live it well, and see if you can live that small life well." Later, she went to live her small life.

Oh dear, attending meetings inconsistently, taking notes inconsistently, because she refused, she did not accept that what I said would have a good result. Her logic for wanting to live a small life is, "If I can't live my small life well, how can I glorify God?" What are you reading the Bible for? Did those who lived small lives in the Old Testament end up well? They didn't end up well, did they? They ended up with their families destroyed and their countries ruined, and you still want to live that way?

It's okay, I won't stop you. Sister, good luck. After a while, she shared that she had problems with her cervical spine. I said the cervical spine is okay, isn't it? What's wrong with the cervical spine? You know, the most deadly thing is not being able to defecate or urinate, that's so upsetting. She had massages for two months and it didn't get better. I don't actively say "Come, let me pray for you," if you don't want me to pray for you, I won't pray for you. She had massages for two months.

Not only that, but her husband also had problems, and her family started to make trouble. Isn't this the result of living a small life? Isn't this a worldly logical system? Then I'll tell you why. God's anger is upon her. Don't think that after believing in the Lord, you are in a safe box, after believing in the Lord, you are in an oven. Then, this sister tried various treatments, and the cervical spine problem became bigger and bigger, and later the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine became paralyzed.

She didn't ask me to pray for her, and I don't need to rush to her, right? Oh, what a pity. Did she live her small life? She didn't live her small life, she almost ruined her family and country. I was thinking, why does this person insist on her own opinion? Does she really understand what it means to live a small life? That's not called living a small life, that's called inviting God's anger. So I divide the people in this world into two types, one is called pleasing God, and the other is called inviting God's anger. Don't think that ghosts are in control, actually God is in control. Always remember that God is in control, and cultivate the habit of pleasing God no matter what. After I said this logic, someone retorted, "Can we still live our lives if we do that?" Oh my goodness, this is what it means to live life! Do you think that living a God-centered life is not good? I have never seen a God-centered life that is not good.

The kingdom established by David, the kingdom of Israel, was the most powerful and prosperous during David's reign, how could he not live well? Oh, later the Israelites lived small lives all day long and became like that, paralyzed. The things of the spiritual realm control the things of this life, and the logic of blessings and curses is always at work in us. Because what God has declared, the concepts of blessings and curses are clear, and the rules of blessings and curses that God has declared are written clearly in the Bible, for whom? For God's people.

If you want to be God's people, if you want to be a Christian, don't enter the oven, enter the box of victory, understand? People are not entering a safe box, after believing in the Lord, they are to be victorious! Victorious, possessing the gates of the enemy. How could you not live well? Be smart, have less of God's anger every day, and more of God's pleasure every day. So Chinese Mingding Doctrine solves many confusing phenomena in Christianity, and the confusing phenomenon is related to victory.

In Chinese Mingding Doctrine, victory is a very important concept. Let's not talk about others, let's just talk about Abraham onwards. If Abraham had kept Isaac, "I will not offer him to God, I cannot offer him to you," the ending would have been completely different, understand? Why? Because it is not pleasing to God. So blessing is no small matter, don't slip into a curse! If a person slips into a curse, they can't defecate, can't urinate, can't breathe, can't eat, and need multiple tubes, isn't that very common? It depends on what people are pursuing.

The sermon we are preaching is about Rebekah, Isaac's wife. This Isaac is a peculiar person, and this Rebekah is also a peculiar person. Actually, I am also a peculiar person, and you are also quite peculiar. Aren't you peculiar for being able to stay in the church for so many years? Very peculiar, just to be a person after God's own heart. Some of our brothers and sisters, not one or two, but many, have said to me, "Teacher, I used to use up all my medical insurance, but now I can't use a penny of it." If medical insurance is managed strictly, and many things can't be bought, then save it. Why? Because they don't get sick after coming to church. Saving on medical insurance is a small matter, it's tens of thousands of dollars.

Saving on those sins, the suffering from those sins, that's what's deadly! How much suffering! Let's not talk about anything else, let's not talk about not being able to defecate or urinate, let's just talk about the cervical spine and lumbar spine, that discomfort is real, that's really uncomfortable! Why? Because they often listen to my words and change what they pursue inside. The things they used to pursue were inviting God's anger, and the things they are pursuing now are pleasing God. See how good this is, people start to have a goal. They didn't have a goal in the past, right? They were just running madly towards death. I said, hey, why are you rushing on the road to the Yellow Springs? They are busy running towards it. What has the road to the Yellow Springs been changed to now? It's no longer the road to the Yellow Springs, it's the way of eternal life, this is the road to eternal life, living so happily. A few days ago, someone added me online, I added them, right? After adding them, that person likes to chat online, chat with strangers, I think it's quite interesting now, I'll play along too.

Later, this person said to me, "Why do I feel so happy when I chat with you?" Don't mention it, I really have this function, that is, you will definitely be happy if you have more contact with me. Someone asked me how they added me, I have something called Facebook, and I also have TikTok. Sometimes they add me, and I add them, add them and chat, that's how it is.

To live happily, have you noticed that those who are close to me are happy, it's a very magical thing. Then some people owe a lot of money, and they become happy while talking to me. You owe a lot of money, how can you be happy? Why can't you be happy? You owe a lot of money, I said someone owes six hundred million and is still living well, how much do you owe? Hey, I don't owe six hundred million. How much? Oh, don't mention it, then we won't mention it. Six hundred million is quite happy, one hundred million is also quite happy.

Sometimes I am surprised that people owe six million, why don't you just owe six hundred million? If you owe six hundred million, you will cut off the thought of repaying the money in this life, right? Talking and talking, they become happy, and things develop in a good direction. So this is what people crave inside. The more you crave to live a small life, the less you can live it, the more you want to seek glory, honor, and incorruptible blessings, the better you will live.

Do you think Abraham lived a good life or Lot lived a good life? Of course Abraham lived a good life, right? Did Isaac live a good life? Of course Isaac lived a good life. They were all patriarchs of their generation. Did Jacob live a good life? Jacob lived a good life, right? Did Joseph live a good life? Joseph lived a good life, how could he not live a good life? Let's walk on this blessed path, don't slip into a curse.

Later I thought, where did this function of mine, the ability to make people happy, come from? Ah, I understand, I have this Isaac thing inside me, I have this Rebekah thing inside me. If I were a woman, I would be Rebekah, if I were a man, I would be Isaac. Offer myself up, right? Offer myself up, and then live joyfully. And my logic is also very simple, I buy what I can afford, and I don't buy what I can't afford. Some people are sad because they envy things they can't afford, isn't that making trouble for themselves? I don't eat what I can't afford, I don't buy what I can't afford, I don't use what I can't afford. I won't be sad. Why? Because what I pursue inside is another set of things, to be a blessing to many people. Unknowingly, I have blessed many people, which is very good. So I hope that brothers and sisters can be happy. If everyone can be happy, that would be great, right? Then I'll tell you, how can you possess the gates of the enemy? Desire to become the mother of thousands.

Scripture

Then they called Rebekah and asked her, “Will you go with this man?” “I will go,” she said. So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his attendants. And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the gates of their enemies.” Then Rebekah and her female servants got on camels and followed the servant, and so he took Rebekah and left. (Genesis 24:58-61)

Prayer

O God, grant us such a stirring, that moved by the Holy Spirit, we may begin to yearn to be a blessing to millions. O God, let us seize the gates of our enemies. Let us emulate Isaac, emulate Rebekah, longing to possess the gates of our enemies. Through Jesus Christ, we have already taken hold of the gates of our enemies. Today, let us emerge from selfishness, let us desire to be the mother of millions, a blessing to millions.

O God, in these end times, raise us up, use us, let us be vessels of blessing, used by You. In this end time, build God's glorious church, so that the captives may be released, the oppressed may be set free, and the powers of hell may be trampled upon. May all our brothers and sisters bear Your glorious image. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Scriptural Background

After Abraham offered Isaac, God blessed Abraham, saying that in blessing, He would greatly bless him. The previous blessings were small, insignificant, weren't they? When he went to Egypt, Pharaoh took Sarah, and Abraham did not utter a word. Then God intervened, Sarah was returned, and Pharaoh also gave many cattle and sheep. What kind of blessing was that? It seemed good to us, right? It was alright. But that was not a great blessing. If you seek blessings, seek the great blessings.

What is this great blessing? It is to possess the gates of your enemies, your descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies, your descendants shall be as the stars of heaven and the sand on the seashore. Ah, how wonderful! But some people say: What do I want that for? Alas, foolish child! If you possess the gates of your enemies, you possess the city, seize the enemy's city, and the tax revenue is yours. How can you lack money? Still asking, "What do I want that for?" With the possession of the gates of your enemies, the problem of money is completely solved. You decide the city's planning, you decide how the city's money is spent. Of course, you also have to do what is called the annual fiscal planning, managing the entire city. Don't you think that's good? It's good. Abraham never said, "What do I want that for?" Only fools say, "What do I want that for?" Some people just don't understand. As a result, this story, my goodness, spread far and wide, where did it spread to? It spread to Rebekah.

You see, this story of Isaac offering himself, and God providing His own lamb, and Isaac coming down from the altar alive, returned. That event spread far and wide, Abraham was remarkable, Isaac was remarkable. As a result, many girls, after hearing it, thought, what's the use of that? What I want is not the gates of the enemies, I just want Isaac to love me, to love me sincerely. I tell you, there are many older single women advertising online, seeking someone who truly loves them.

But there was one peculiar girl named Rebekah. I tell you, this Rebekah is interesting. Whether she was born with this marvelous arrangement or developed it later, let's not ask that for now, let's just talk about Rebekah. Rebekah had a nurse named Deborah. Do you know who Deborah is? Deborah is a female judge in the Book of Judges, governing all of Israel. Deborah's husband was called the prince, because his wife was powerful, she became the ruler, so he was called the prince.

Oh, this nurse, the nurse named herself Deborah, thinking in her heart about what she wanted to do. As a result, she took care of Rebekah. Why am I talking about this? Because who influences a person is crucial. This Deborah actually had aspirations in her heart, even though she was a servant, a nurse is a hired servant. Then she took care of Rebekah, and Rebekah often listened to the nurse tell stories about Abraham's family. What did the nurse tell? She told about Isaac being offered to God, possessing the gates of the enemies, instilling these concepts in Rebekah, instilling these spiritual things from a young age, telling these stories of God, which was extraordinary. Rebekah was influenced by this nurse.

I tell you, this nurse Deborah is a very rare woman mentioned in Genesis. Then this nurse taught Rebekah, and Rebekah's mind was filled with the idea that I want to possess the gates of the enemies, I want to become the mother of millions, isn't that peculiar? You might say, what do you want that for? Even if you said I hope to have a husband who loves me, who loves me very, very much, who loves only me. Deborah and Rebekah, their hearts were not like that, their hearts were not set on such things.

What were their hearts set on? Their hearts were set on becoming the mother of millions. This is not something that ordinary people can understand. Why did she want this? I tell you, if you want to obtain God, you must want this. I tell you, why is our church not short of money? We don't necessarily accept offerings from some people, why? Because they don't understand the truth, what's the point of accepting their offerings? We are not short of money. Why? Because within us, within our vision, there is a characteristic called becoming a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth. This is where it comes from, becoming the mother of millions, becoming a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth, all the families of the earth shall be blessed through her.

When we seek this, it is extraordinary. I have this set of logic within me, where does my logic come from? I read it from the Bible. Oh, Abraham, you want this, then I want it too. Isaac, you want this, then I want it too. Jacob, you want this, then I want it too. What problem does it solve? It solves many problems. It solves all the problems of a person's life. Once I pursue this, your problems in the church are solved, why? Because what I want is to become a blessing to all the families of the earth.

Deborah and Rebekah, what they wanted in their hearts was this. This matter is miraculous, Rebekah would tell her brother every day, I want to become the mother of millions, my descendants shall possess the gates of their enemies. Her brother would laugh at her, is my sister crazy? Right? You should send someone to Abraham and say, I want to marry Isaac. That won't do, God will send them to pick me up.

As a result, after Abraham's wife Sarah died, Isaac was troubled every day, and his heart was not comforted. The old man thought, ah, I should get a wife for my son. After thinking it over, he called his servant and instructed him to go to his hometown and get a wife for his son, if she is willing to come with you, then come with you, if she is not willing to come with you, it is not your problem. When Abraham said this, did it sound like he knew the answer? Isn't this a very miraculous thing?

Rebekah was yearning on that side, and Abraham began to send his servant to pick up Rebekah on this side. In the middle of this process, the old servant led the camels, carrying the betrothal gifts forward, and then he saw a well, and said if I see a girl, she draws water for me to drink, and also gives my camels to drink, then she is the one God wants me to find. Then Rebekah came, Rebekah took the water jar, drew water, gave it to the old servant to drink, and then Rebekah also took the initiative to draw water for the camels to drink. I tell you, it is difficult for selfish people to have God's presence. Then you think, where is she clever? The person drank, shouldn't the camels drink? Right? A very clever girl. Then, I will draw water for your camels. The old servant knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, and thanked the God of heaven. This is the wife You have chosen for my master's son Isaac, God led, isn't it miraculous? How is it such a coincidence? The old servant arrived at the well, Rebekah came to draw water, it was all arranged by God.

It was all arranged by God, then what did God arrange according to? According to the yearning in people's hearts! Really, I tell you, arranged according to people's yearning. I yearn to build God's glorious church, and God will accomplish it, really. You yearn to live a small life, and God will give you lumbar and cervical problems. If a person's brain is not clever, it will be like this. Ah, as a result, when asked, it just so happened that they were relatives of Abraham's family.

In terms of seniority, Rebekah should call Abraham grandfather, and should call Isaac uncle. But it doesn't matter, seniority is not important, what is important is that Rebekah became the mother of millions. Therefore, no one who believes in Jesus Christ does not tell the story of Rebekah, no one who believes in Jesus Christ does not tell the story of Isaac. What difference in seniority doesn't matter, just like someone in their eighties marrying someone in their twenties, and their mother-in-law is only in her sixties, let's forget about seniority.

I feel that what people yearn for in their hearts is very important. People's hearts yearn for those dirty and filthy things, and God will repay with wrath. People yearn to become a blessing to millions, to become the mother of millions, to yearn to possess the gates of their enemies, then God would be unjustified if He did not bless you. It is no coincidence that things happen. Sometimes when I preach the gospel to people, they say that these are all coincidences, I like coincidences. Then you create a coincidence, if you are capable, you also create a coincidence, mine is a natural coincidence.

Then this matter was also very miraculous, the servant said that I would leave tomorrow, sleep for one night and take Rebekah away tomorrow. As a result, they said that won't do, the child has to stay and talk with her mother and brother, she has to stay for a few more days, once she leaves, she may never see them again in her life, that won't do. As a result, they asked Rebekah, "You come over, are you going to go with him?" "I want to go with him," she was impatient, impatient.

Isn't it okay to stay for a few more days? I tell you, staying for a few more days means you still can't let go of your own family, right? You still can't let go. I tell you, a person who loves God and serves God can forsake everything. As a result, when she left, her brother and her father blessed Rebekah, "Our sister, may you become the mother of millions, may your descendants possess the gates of their enemies." Isn't that powerful? It's powerful.

In fact, these people are very interesting. After Isaac's mother died, he was not comforted, then what does the Bible say? That Rebekah married Isaac, moved into Sarah's tent, and Isaac was comforted. That sentence is quite interesting. Why is it interesting? Who taught Isaac to offer himself? Sarah taught him, his mother taught him. Sarah was a remarkable woman, Sarah trained Isaac from a young age to be willing to offer himself to God.

Who taught Rebekah? Her nurse Deborah taught her. What did this nurse teach? To possess the gates of the enemies, to become the mother of millions. What does it mean? To put it bluntly, it means to marry Isaac, because Isaac's descendants will possess the gates of their enemies. Then why was Isaac comforted when he married Rebekah? Isaac and his mother were kindred spirits, that's how they thought. How many people who think like Isaac can you find among Christians? How many children can you find who were taught like Sarah? None! Isaac had a very good relationship with his mother, so after his mother died, he had no kindred spirit. Don't we say that it is difficult to find a kindred spirit? A kindred spirit is extraordinary. Isaac had no one to talk to. What to do? There was nothing to do.

Rebekah came, and he found another kindred spirit. The peculiar Isaac married the peculiar Rebekah. Someone typed, why can't he talk to his father? It's a bit strange for two old men to sit together and talk about that. So I have to tell you, Isaac was comforted when he married Rebekah. What am I trying to emphasize? I am trying to emphasize yearning. If a person yearns for something, if they yearn for God, it is extraordinary. If this person yearns to become a vessel of God's blessing, it is extraordinary. Yearning is too important.

What Do People Yearn For?

Later, I observed that what people yearn for is quite interesting, very interesting, very worthy of study. What do you yearn for? The final result is closely linked to your yearning. What do you yearn for? What people yearn for is related to their knowledge. It is troublesome if people are ignorant. For example, a wild dog yearns for a bone, and people are the same, what do people yearn for? Some people yearn to serve God.

I tell you, there are many people in the world who speak Chinese, are there many who speak English? There are more who speak English. What do I yearn for now? I now yearn to become a blessing to those who speak English, of course, continuing to be a blessing to those who speak Chinese, and what else do I yearn for? That the Chinese Mingding Doctrine can become a blessing to those who speak English.

The English-speaking world is vast. Consider the Japanese, Koreans, Hong Kongers, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Australians, and New Zealanders. Not to mention Europe. And in Africa and South America, while some speak French, the majority use English. I've charged forward several times, only to be defeated. Do you think I'll give up? I won't. I truly thirst for it. I continue to thirst, believing God will bring it to pass. I'll charge again, with God guiding our path. Some may ask, "Why thirst for that? Why not thirst for growth and strength?" I do thirst for growth and strength, but why thirst for that other thing? I thirst to be a blessing to many. The world is rife with unsystematic theology.

While the Chinese Mingding Doctrine is primarily in Chinese, it is, I must say, the most systematic theology of this generation. If it doesn't become a blessing to millions, something is amiss, isn't it? Is it about what I want to gain? No, it's about becoming a blessing to millions. Why do I want this? Because it's what God wants. God is seeking people like Rebekah, like Isaac, throughout the world.

God is seeking those who have the spiritual pursuits of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in their hearts. What do you thirst for? Many thirst to be the wealthiest, thirst, thirst, thirst, and that's it. Recently, I saw news of people who thirst for money, and I've always struggled to understand it. Thirsting to be the wealthiest turns them into the most indebted.

But Chinese is interesting. One "fu" means rich, the other means indebted. The wealthiest becomes the most indebted. I've never quite understood it. Truly, if you gave me a hundred million, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'd have to constantly seek opportunities, or inflation would ruin it. Would the hundred million serve me, or would I serve the hundred million? I wouldn't even know.

Even now, I don't desire it. What would I do with so much money? It's not fun. Look at Suning recently, with 40 billion in assets and over 200 billion in debt. How does that happen? Where did the money go? Too much money is harmful. So, what do people thirst for? I thirst to be a blessing to others.

Why? Because throughout my life, I've wondered, what am I here for? I wasn't asked to be born. What am I to do? If not for serving everyone, for building the church and serving everyone, life would be meaningless. I wouldn't know what to do. I'd rather die sooner.

People must seek the meaning of life, thirsting for the eternal, glorious, incorruptible blessing. So, if people take advantage of me, it's okay. I don't need that. If I suffer a loss, it's okay. Don't take away my God, don't take away my Mingding. Can such a person not live well? A person with God is extraordinary. To have God, we thirst for what God wants us to thirst for. Our view aligns with God's view. That's how it is for me. People live and die without meaning, vanity of vanities. I must live out what God wants me to thirst for in this vanity, how wonderful! Don't thirst for money. Problems that money can solve are not problems. Can you understand? What can money solve? What can money solve? The real solutions are blessing and curse. I know there are many people, many of God's people, waiting for us to unearth them and bring them into God's kingdom. May God guide our path.

What People Seek

I spoke earlier about a series of seeking. Rebekah sought to be the mother of millions, to marry Isaac so her descendants would possess the gate of their enemies. Seeking all the time. Her brother thought, "No one's coming for you. Another day, no one's coming. Give it up, sister!" But Rebekah said, "Get out of here! I will seek this. I will marry him! God will bring them to take me."

Each day of waiting brought disappointment. Imagine Rebekah's excitement when Abraham's servant arrived. Abraham's servant bowed down, saying little, but she said, "I will go tomorrow. It's too late today. I'll sleep tonight and leave in the morning!" I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

You mock me? What I thirst for, what I seek, is to be the mother of millions, for my descendants to possess the gate of their enemies. Her brother asked, "Rebekah, why do you seek this?" Could Rebekah truly explain? No. But these spiritual people, like Rebekah, Deborah, her nurse, and Isaac, are spiritual people.

Why become a spiritual person? Because they have no hope in this world. I fear that our brothers and sisters are full of hope in this world. If I could pour cold water on you, I would. There is no hope in this world. What hope is there? Those living small lives have paralyzed themselves. Seeking to be the mother of millions, for her descendants to possess the gate of their enemies, do you think she lived poorly? She lived well.

Later, Jesus Christ came from the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These are her descendants. Did she truly understand? No. But she understood one thing, and you and I understand one thing: living in this world is not very meaningful. If you think living is very meaningful, then I haven't done my job well, or you haven't thought about it. If you think about it, you'll know there is blessing here. God loves such people, seeking.

Becoming the Mother of Millions

Where did becoming the mother of millions begin? When Abraham made a covenant with God, God said to Abraham, "Your descendants will be like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore." To Isaac, "Your descendants will be like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore." What would someone without hope of eternal life do with that? My descendants, I'll be dust, and they'll be like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Doesn't that seem strange?

Those who seek such things are remarkable. It's not ordinary ambition. If a person could live forever, follow my thinking, I live in eternity now, I will live for millions and millions of years. Then, in heaven, I will see my descendants like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. How do you feel? How glorious!

Coming before God, "God, I blessed millions. God, I blessed hundreds of thousands. God, I blessed tens of thousands. God, I blessed thousands." How wonderful. We must know that when you return to God, God will ask you to give an account of what you did on earth. "I was the most indebted." Did you pay off your debts? "I came to you before I finished paying them off."

How do you feel? Not good, right? When everyone stands together, quickly find a place to hide your face in your pants, ashamed to face people. If we live in eternity, those who turn many to righteousness will be like bright stars in the sky, the glory of people.

Isn't that selfish? No, it's not selfish. It's because of unselfishness that you gain glory, that you are like God. The more of God's glory that shines from a person, the more people they will bless. Unlike some of our brothers and sisters, some Christians with hearts the size of peanuts and brains the size of walnuts, constantly worrying about trivial matters. Becoming the mother of millions, why? Because of possessing the gate of their enemies.

Your Descendants Possess the Gate of Their Enemies

Rebekah certainly didn't know that a person named Jesus Christ would come from her descendants, nor did she quite understand what it meant for her descendants to possess the gate of their enemies. "I will become the mother of millions, and my descendants will possess the gate of their enemies." It just felt good. Possessing the gate of their enemies is valuable, it means taking the entire city.

It's good, right? How is that phrase? Possessing the gate of their enemies, of course it's good. My descendants will possess the gate of their enemies. She didn't really understand, but she felt that these words came from whose mouth? From God's mouth. What did God say? God said, "I will let your descendants possess the gate of their enemies. Your descendants will be like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore." How wonderful that it came from God's mouth. This is victory. God will make us victorious, to trample the power of the grave. If people on earth can possess the gate of their enemies, trample the power of the grave, you become a divine person.

I've always thirsted for the words in the Bible, especially those spoken by Jesus Christ, to be fulfilled in us. All the promises in the Bible, the promises from God's mouth, must be fulfilled in us. Those who bless us, God will bless them; those who curse us, God will curse them. This must be fulfilled, it cannot be missed, it cannot be left out. How wonderful!

Our descendants will become a great nation. Although we are still unknown, our influence online is growing. Years ago, someone told me, "Pastor Liu, you don't know how great your influence is online." Now I know, so many churches use our materials. I thank God.

What do we seek? That millions of people may be victorious through Jesus Christ, that they may possess the gate of their enemies. Change your thirst, change your seeking, change what you thirst for into God's promise. God promises us to possess the gate of our enemies.

Today, Jesus Christ has come. Rebekah may not have understood, but we certainly do. Did Jesus Christ possess the gate of their enemies by rising from the dead? Yes. Have we possessed the gate of their enemies? Yes. Is the power of the grave under our feet or over our heads? Not over our heads, under our feet.

If we hold the keys to the grave, controlling the gate of the grave, we will bless people not with money, but with victory. This is the blessing of Abraham, that all the families of the earth will possess the gate of their enemies through Jesus Christ, trampling the power of the grave. Because of this, what we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and what we release on earth is released in heaven.

No matter where you are, whatever your situation, don't be afraid. Change inside, and all problems will be solved. The power of the grave can no longer steal our blessings or our health. All these blessings are passed down from Abraham. This is inheriting the faith of Abraham, inheriting the covenant of promise of Abraham.

This covenant of promise passed from Abraham to Isaac, Isaac to Jacob, and down to us today, in Jesus Christ, we have all become descendants of Abraham. Do you still want to live a small life? No. Now you want to become the mother of millions, a blessing to all the families of the earth. Our descendants will possess the gate of their enemies, and we will always possess the gate of their enemies through Jesus Christ. Amen. God bless you all!
