How to Lead People into a Destiny of Blessing?

Over the years, I have been pondering the question: What exactly is evangelism? While preparing this 201 course, I have been grappling with whether we have been preaching the right Gospel. To preach the wrong Gospel is a serious matter.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! (Galatians 1:9)

Later, in preparing the 201 course, I spent a considerable amount of time contemplating this issue, praying and seeking guidance on what to title it. Finally, I found it, and I was very excited. The title is: How to lead people into a destiny of blessing.

Evangelism is about leading people into blessing. If it fails to do so, it is a grave problem. Evangelism should convey good news, guiding people into blessing. Common evangelism turns people into believers, but the Bible speaks of turning those who follow Him into disciples of the Lord Jesus. Today, we must break free from the traditional concept of believers; the true Gospel is the Gospel that transforms you into a disciple of the Lord Jesus. It is the inheritance of the Mingding Destiny of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

What is a disciple? A disciple is one who follows and trusts in the Lord Jesus, entering into the blessing inherited by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And what is the blessing of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? It is to lead people into a destiny of blessing. In the 201 course, Lesson 2, Part 4, I have positioned it as: How to lead people into a destiny of blessing.

Review of Previous Lessons

The previous lessons have also focused on how to minister healing and deliverance, and how to preach the Word of God. This lesson aims to lead those who have received grace into their destiny. Outside of destiny, there is no blessing. To live a truly blessed life, one must have a Mingding Destiny, be a disciple of Jesus, and be willing to pay the price for the Lord. This is not an optional choice, but a necessity. Therefore, if you are to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus, you must learn to build a glorious church together, for that is the Mingding Destiny.

In fact, the entire New Testament speaks of building a glorious church. Last night, I guided everyone to study Isaiah 60, which begins by saying, “Arise, shine,” because the church is to shine and become a place to share blessings. The goal of our course today is to teach you how to lead people to receive healing, study the Bible, and ultimately bring them into the Mingding Destiny of building a glorious church, all within the platform of the church. This is the true blessing God gave to Abraham.

This lesson teaches how to lead people into the blessing of Abraham, which is the purpose of evangelism. It is definitely not just about going to heaven after death. This phrase is not often mentioned in the Bible. Much more often mentioned is Abraham's Mingding Destiny, faith, and blessing. In the New Testament, it is about building a glorious church. The church is the platform for perfecting people's lives, the body of Jesus Christ, and only on the platform of the church can one become a blessing to others. Learning how to evangelize is very important; we are evangelizing the Gospel of building a glorious church, passing on the Gospel of Abraham.

Passing on Vision and Dreams

How to pass on vision, the dream of building a glorious church, and the blessing and Mingding Destiny that Abraham received, to become a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth. Understanding the true blessing is not simply receiving grace. In fact, many people can receive grace and healing, not because of anything you do, but because we, the disciples who are building the glorious church, are distributing blessings and grace to you.

You must become a disciple of the Lord Jesus and distribute blessings so that others may be blessed. Brothers and sisters, do not just be believers, but learn to be disciples of the Lord. Also, learn to lead the new people you are shepherding to become disciples, according to the standards of the Bible. That is the true blessing. Today, do not preach a gospel that is not the Gospel. Looking back at the previous lessons, which spoke of the emptiness of life, you must truly know that Mingding Destiny begins with your recognition of the emptiness of life.

If you always feel empty inside, only knowing to make money and work, and only realize something is wrong when you lie in bed, it is because you are living in emptiness. Those who have Mingding Destiny receive blessings, while those who do not have Mingding Destiny receive curses. This is a clear theme in the Bible. That is to say, Isaac and Jacob, Lot and Abraham, are all stark contrasts.

Having Mingding Destiny and dreams enables one to overcome all difficulties. This is a very important concept. Those who do not have Mingding Destiny have no vision or direction, and what they accomplish is an empty life. What is Mingding Destiny? It is why we live. If we live to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves, then eating, drinking, and enjoyment are our Mingding Destiny. If we live to inherit the blessing and Mingding Destiny of Abraham, then we must emulate Abraham and restore our Mingding Destiny to enter into the blessing of Abraham.

First Question: What Kind of Gospel to Preach

Galatians 3:6-9 says:

So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. (Galatians 3:6-9)

Let us read another passage:

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. (Genesis 12:1-4)

We must consider the question: Does the Bible speak of any blessing outside of Abraham? I tell you, there really is no blessing. In the entire revelation of the Bible, those who are based on faith must enter into the blessing of Abraham. You may ask, why is there no blessing outside of Abraham? It is difficult for me to prove to you today. Look carefully in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, and you will see that all who inherit from Abraham are blessed.

For example, Isaac is the son of Abraham, and Esau and Jacob are the grandchildren of Abraham. Why was Esau cursed while Jacob was blessed? Through this, I must tell you that Jacob inherited from Abraham, while Esau, though a grandson of Abraham, did not receive the blessing. Why? Because what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Although Abraham had one son and two grandsons, Isaac inherited Abraham's Mingding Destiny and received the blessing, and Jacob inherited Abraham's Mingding Destiny and received the blessing. Esau, though the firstborn, lost the blessing.

What does this mean? Being born of the flesh is useless; you must inherit Abraham's Mingding Destiny and blessing. So when you read this passage of Scripture, those who are based on faith are the descendants of Abraham. Abraham felt that life was empty, and he was seeking a Mingding Destiny. So at the age of 75, he left Haran and went to Canaan, pioneering the path of faith. Leaving his country and his people, he had no other choice but to trust in God, and all the problems and situations he encountered were new.

What kind of blessing is Abraham's blessing? It is a blessing with a Mingding Destiny. What is a Mingding Destiny? It is to enable all nations and peoples on earth to receive blessings. Today, we must not preach a blessing without Mingding Destiny outside of Abraham. Originally, this course was called Evangelism, but I fell into a state of confusion. When I was writing this courseware last year, I could not write it and kept praying and seeking. In fact, this lesson stalled me for a month. I was about to collapse. Later, I prayed and sought God every day. Thank God, God is truly a God who reveals things to people. Suddenly one day, I knew how this courseware should be written: preach a blessing with Mingding Destiny, for there is no blessing outside of Mingding Destiny.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. If you bless others, how can you not be blessed yourself! If you pursue your own blessing, you will not receive it. If you pursue becoming a blessing to others, which is a blessing with Mingding Destiny, then you will receive the blessing. The people who live well in this world are all people with Mingding Destiny. If you observe carefully, people who are selfish and self-centered, without Mingding Destiny, will develop mental illnesses to a certain extent. Today, you must come out of selfishness and narrow-minded small-farmer thinking. It is very bad to have no Mingding Destiny and only care about yourself.

If you think you can live well that way, then try it. Days without Mingding Destiny are very difficult. Start walking the path of Mingding Destiny with me. Abraham lived on earth and observed the life and death of people. Brothers and sisters, listen to my advice: what is the point of living if you have no Mingding Destiny! To live is an empty life. You must come out of the empty life and enter into the blessing with Mingding Destiny. I tell you, God will surely bless you. If you have not received the blessing, it is because you have no Mingding Destiny.

We see many Christians who do not have Mingding Destiny, and we also see many Christians who do not have blessings. The grace of seeing blessings is because they have no Mingding Destiny. To receive this blessing, we must have faith like Abraham. Abraham's faith is to willingly dedicate himself, including his only son. When you begin to be willing to completely dedicate yourself, it shows that you are sincere. People must learn Abraham's faith, and complete dedication is to be a disciple of the Lord. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not at all the Gospel of being a believer. A believer is just an entry point, and a disciple is the key.

Galatians Chapter 1 speaks very harshly. If the Gospel you preach is not the Gospel of Abraham, not a Gospel with Mingding Destiny, and if the Gospel you preach is not the Gospel of Paul, then the Gospel you believe is just a Gospel with selfish desires, and you will not receive blessings but curses. (See Luke 1:8-9) In fact, I also see something very interesting in the Bible: where does the curse come from? It comes from God. It is true that God blesses and curses. If you don't believe it, you can search for it in the Bible.

A young man with a stomach hemorrhage was healed in our midst, but soon left again. Before leaving, he argued with me about one thing: God does not curse. I said, Open the Bible and find the scripture. He couldn't find it. Today, you need to understand one thing: it is fatal to preach the wrong Gospel. The Gospel we believe is the Gospel of being a disciple, and this is based on the Bible.

Second Question: Curses and Blessings Are the Theme of Life

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Curses and blessings are the theme of life. Some are blessed, and some are cursed. Blessings and curses have been around since the day there was a Bible, since the day there were the Five Books of Moses, and this concept has never changed until today. Obey and follow God's word and be blessed; disobey and fail to follow God's word and be cursed. (See Deuteronomy 28:15)

I also see one thing: curses and blessings are written for Christians to hear. If you are a Christian, never be a half-hearted Christian. This is my logic, believe it or not. If you are a Christian, you must be a resounding Christian. Everything God commands must be obeyed and followed, and you must also teach others to obey and follow.

What is a curse? Those who do not obey and follow God's word will be cursed, and those who obey and follow it will be blessed. This is very well said. If you can't do it, the Holy Spirit will help you. Didn't Jesus say that He would baptize us with the Holy Spirit? (See Matthew 3:11)

This is clearly stated. If you read the Bible carefully with me, you will find that what I say is reconcilable. In the previous lesson, I talked about Mingding Destiny in Genesis 38. I think many people don't know that the Bible reveals a clear theme. Tamar entered the genealogy of Jesus because she had Mingding Destiny, and Jacob also entered the genealogy of Jesus Christ because he had Mingding Destiny.

Whether to be a disciple or a believer, examine the Bible carefully. We are to go out and make disciples of all nations, and we ourselves must also be disciples. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not at all the Gospel of being a believer. If you don't have time to be a disciple, you must have a determination to be a disciple, like the person who was crucified with Jesus on the cross. He didn't have time, but he had a determination to be a disciple. He was based on faith. It is also fatal to distinguish between disciples and believers based on behavior.

Today, everyone says, I want to be a disciple, but I can't do it. God says, It doesn't matter, I will help you do it. It is too difficult for us to do God's word on our own. The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. The Bible says this about being a disciple of Jesus:

A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:36)

This is well said. In fact, there is another passage elsewhere: for the sake of God, abandoning this and that, you cannot but receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life in the age to come. This is a rather interesting matter.

The kind of Abraham's faith that is preached in the Bible is a faith of complete dedication. Those who cannot be completely dedicated today will say, Pastor, I am very painful when you say this. Why is it too painful? Because if you say so, I can't do it either. Then can't you start believing! Can't you start choosing to believe in this Gospel of Abraham with Mingding Destiny and dedicate yourself step by step! Abraham also came step by step with his servants. He was also sculpted step by step before he could dedicate Isaac. It wasn't like this all at once, but he believed from the beginning and slowly began to do it.

Today, we may not be able to achieve it, and it does not matter if we cannot, but we must be resolute in believing that one day God can enable us to do it. Do not think that you can accomplish anything by relying on your physical strength; it is by the Holy Spirit that it can be accomplished. Mingding Destiny is blessing, and blessing is Mingding Destiny.

What we preach today, making disciples, is Mingding Destiny.

Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:39)

What difficulty is there in offering up your family! Paying the price is a blessing, and being a disciple of Jesus Christ also requires paying a price. This price is learning to let go, letting go of what you love in your heart and loving God alone; paying the price is true belief. If you cannot do it, you can call upon God to let you pay the price, and slowly things will be accomplished in this way.

The Church Needs People with Mingding Destiny

Building God's glorious church requires people with Mingding Destiny. Are you willing to build God's glorious church? Only those willing to build God's glorious church can be tested to see if they have Mingding Destiny. Those who live small lives all day long cannot be tested. Speaking of this, I actually have a permanent pain in my heart: there are too few people with Mingding Destiny, and too many people living small lives.

Since establishing the church in 2008, I was not a pastor at that time. I worked in the workplace and reached the upper management of higher education institutions. I served while working, loved the Lord very much, and hoped to pay the price for others, contribute money and effort, help people, and pray for them. However, the problem arose: I had Mingding Destiny, but the gospel I preached was not a gospel of Mingding Destiny. It is embarrassing to say that after believing in Jesus for many years, I still wanted to build a glorious church but did not know what I was preaching. I was preaching singing hymns, leading people to engage in activities, going out for tourism and mountain climbing, and also preaching on Sundays, and the church also grew.

Where was the problem? From that time on, I could not see blessings, nor could I see blessings in my work. Serving was very hard, and working was also very hard. Since preaching a gospel without Mingding Destiny, I was left in a state of exhaustion, but I still believed that God loved me very much and that God could definitely lead me out. Looking back on those years, step by step, it is almost ten years in the blink of an eye.

How good it would have been to be able to preach a gospel with Mingding Destiny at that time. In fact, since starting to preach the gospel in 2008, only one person remains from that group. I want to raise a question: why did I love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and serve God with my money and effort, but I did not see blessings and ended up in a very miserable state? Why? In fact, at that time, I still thought I was Job! But I was not.

Where exactly was the problem? Later, when I was writing this manuscript, I gradually realized that I began to repent from 2011 because I preached the wrong gospel. Preaching the wrong gospel is a very serious matter, as stated in Galatians chapter 1, verse 8:

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse! (Galatians 1:8-9)

My problem was that the gospel I was preaching was not the gospel of a disciple of Christ. I told them that believing in the Lord was good and that work and life would be blessed, but there was no Mingding Destiny. Paul preached the gospel of Abraham; Paul preached a gospel with Mingding Destiny. At that time, I knew I had messed up. Although I had Mingding Destiny myself, the gospel I preached was not good. As a result, I would be cursed and live a miserable life.

What is the curse? It is that the devil is legally doing corrupting work in your life. After God curses a person, the devil legally corrupts the person. The New Testament must know one thing: the gospel we believe in today is the gospel of building a glorious church. Building a glorious church does more than solve people's life problems. If you want to solve personal life problems, you must also return to this gospel of Mingding Destiny to build God's glorious church. Building a glorious church requires disciples, a group of believers cannot build a church.

In our church, I do not like to raise many consumers; I prefer the church to be full of disciples. In the process of building a church of disciples, we have become a church that kicks people out. Kicking people out is not for the sake of kicking them out, but to bring them back to be disciples of Jesus. You must change; you must become a person with Mingding Destiny. Because the gospel we preach is a gospel with Mingding Destiny, a gospel of a disciple of Jesus Christ. It is definitely not about not knowing what you believe in. We believe in the God that Abraham believed in, not a muddled God.

If you want to be a Christian, be a disciple; a disciple is a Christian. Do not just have the word Christian engraved on your forehead, but you must be a disciple in your bones. From 2008 to 2011, I learned a very profound lesson. From 2011, I began to rebuild. Along the way, the church has been constantly growing. In 2001, I resigned from my job and began to lead the brothers and sisters in a lot of prayer, seeking God's guidance. I began to constantly restore the teaching of biblical truth and constantly engage in spiritual warfare, setting the goal of building a glorious church and establishing the standard of a disciple of Jesus Christ. Boldly demanding the brothers and sisters according to this standard, the church has been constantly transformed.

As a pastor, you must be strong and courageous; you cannot do it if you are not strong and courageous. You cannot be a leader if you dare not ask others to do it. In the end, you will corrupt yourself and corrupt others because you are afraid to speak. The church is constantly transforming. Although those who are unwilling to pay the price and unwilling to be disciples of Jesus Christ are constantly leaving, the church is still constantly growing.

By the beginning of 2016, the church began to grow rapidly, and miracles and wonders appeared in large numbers, and the transforming ability was constantly improving. Each pastoral area began to constantly promote a life with Mingding Destiny and began to seek the blessings of Mingding Destiny in morning prayer. Today, it is a matter of course for our brothers and sisters to have morning prayer. You say, teacher, I cannot get up. It does not matter; continue to seek. People are not transformed in a day, but you must yearn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Everyone began to seek a blessed Mingding Destiny, and there were countless blessings and testimonies, almost every day.

Building a Glorious Church and Preaching a Gospel with Mingding Destiny

Today, let us consider a question: how to connect building a glorious church with preaching a gospel with Mingding Destiny, and how to bring brothers and sisters into the blessings of Mingding Destiny. What does it mean to bring brothers and sisters into the blessings of Mingding Destiny? How can you become a blessing to this generation? Are you the Abraham of this generation? I think this blessing is very powerful. If you are the Abraham of this generation, then God who blesses you will bless him, and God who curses you will curse him.

How to preach a gospel with Mingding Destiny? Building a glorious church is preaching a gospel with Mingding Destiny. A gospel with Mingding Destiny is to bring together a group of disciples of Jesus Christ who love the Lord, start spiritual warfare, strike the dark forces of the devil, release the captive souls, release the oppressed, and heal the sick. Building a glorious church is directly related to a gospel with Mingding Destiny.

How to preach a gospel with Mingding Destiny? The best way to do it is to be strong and courageous. Brothers and sisters, when you come to 201 class, you must know that being strong and courageous is very important. Do not be afraid to be strong and courageous, and boldly demand the brothers and sisters according to the standards of disciples in the Bible. That is the real gospel. Preaching the wrong gospel is very deadly. Today, we begin to enter into a journey of striving to transform people's lives and become disciples of Jesus Christ, in healing and deliverance, examining the Bible, constantly building the vision of God's glorious church, and constantly passing on the gospel of Mingding Destiny. Those who cannot be transformed will hardly remain in the environment of the church because our church is constantly demanding improvement.

You say, pastor, I tithe. Tithing does not count. At most, tithing is a believer. Someone says that the left hand should not let the right hand know what it is doing, so tithing is not made known to anyone. Do you think God needs your tithing very much! In fact, God does not need it very much. It is not that you have done a good deed; it is what you should do. Today, we must constantly demand, and demand itself is a screening. Today, brothers and sisters must know that many people fall and many people rise on the rock of Jesus Christ. Falling is their own falling and has nothing to do with your demands. You do not demand them, and they will still fall.

If someone leaves, let them go if they have no Mingding Destiny! I often say this to the brothers and sisters of the church. If she wants to find a job, then we bless her, and God will also bless her with a job. If she wants to be healed, then pray, and her illness may be healed or she may be healed. If she comes to do this or that, then let her get what she wants and leave! I will not keep you either. If you have no Mingding Destiny, what will I keep you for? If you have Mingding Destiny and share a common vision and a common dream with us, then stay and walk with us. In any case, preach the gospel of Abraham, and do not preach the gospel of Lot. We must become a blessing to others and begin to preach the vision and Mingding Destiny of building a glorious church.

Be a Disciple of Jesus and Become a True Blessing

Passing on the vision is to become a blessing to this generation. What is being passed on is the vision of building a glorious church. Having Mingding Destiny is to let us live with meaning and purpose. Our goal is not to earn a lot of money; our goal is to become a blessing to this generation. This is our vision and dream. You have your vision and dream, and I have my vision and dream. If we all have a common vision, then we will build a glorious church together and become a blessing to this generation.

Because the requirements of the Lord Jesus are exactly like this. In fact, I was born for this, and I live for this. I came into this world for this, which is what the Lord Jesus said. Born for this, live for this, and pay the price of life for this. Then you will surely gain life, which is an eternal life. This is a disciple: having vision, having Mingding Destiny, having a dream, and wanting to become a blessing to all nations and peoples on this earth—that is preaching the gospel of Abraham with Mingding Destiny, and we will surely restore the image that God originally created us in. You must know that it is very important for people to live out the image that God created us in. People must learn to live out the image that God created us in, which is the image of the Son of God.

The image of Jesus Christ is to offer oneself and live out Mingding Destiny. This is the image of the Son of God. Today, we all do one thing: to imitate Jesus. How Jesus did it, how he walked his life path, we also walk. How Paul did it, how he walked his life path, we also walk. That is, to open roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water. No one and nothing can stop our dream of building a glorious church or stop us from establishing a glorious Mingding Destiny.

Brothers and sisters, begin to restore such faith. You must know that becoming a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth is an amazing thing. What I am sharing with you today, if you listen and do it, you can also carefully examine the Bible to see if what I am saying is true or not. If you were like me before and preached a gospel without Mingding Destiny, although you are a Christian and a person with Mingding Destiny, but the gospel you preach is a gospel without Mingding Destiny, you must repent. I do not want you to be like I was before. Start entering into the gospel of Mingding Destiny and start preaching the gospel of Mingding Destiny. This life will be very exciting, and miracles and wonders will follow you.

Wherever you go, all you see is grace. Being able to truly bless people is the key. However, brothers and sisters, do not think that you can tell a non-believer today to offer up their life and be a disciple of Jesus. It is not done like that. Brothers and sisters, do not misunderstand. You must also nurture them step by step according to their ability to bear it. This is called shepherding.

You must demand a newborn infant according to the needs of a newborn infant. When she grows to one year old, you must demand according to the age of one year. When she grows to three years old, you must raise her according to the requirements of the age of three. You cannot give a first-grade elementary school student the homework of a college student. You cannot demand it like that. Therefore, when we preach this gospel and bring them into the discipleship of Jesus Christ, the demands are also step by step. Do not come up and ask them if they have a vision. How can a new believer have a vision? But we are very clear in our hearts that our goal is to bring them to a point where they begin to become a disciple of Jesus Christ, which is a true blessing. Amen!

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I want to be your disciple. Lord Jesus, I want to preach a gospel with Mingding Destiny. Lord Jesus, may you personally lead me to run this path of discipleship. Start preaching a pure gospel, and let what I preach be the God Abraham believed in. Let what I preach be a gospel with Mingding Destiny, bringing people out of an empty life and into a life with Mingding Destiny and meaning. The people you are looking for in the world are like this! Lord, please raise us up, raise us up to bless this generation, so that this generation may be blessed because of us. Lord Jesus, we thank you, thank you for working with us, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
