Introduction

Good morning. Let us turn to Leviticus Chapter 9. Just because one becomes a pastor, it does not make him a priest. Just because one becomes a Christian, it does not make him an Israelite. Today, we must understand what exactly is the role of a Christian? To be a Christian is to be a priest. Leviticus Chapter 8 speaks of how priests are consecrated. If a priest is to be consecrated, he must atone for seven days. This process of atonement for seven days must be in accordance with the Lord’s instructions. If it is not in accordance with the Lord’s instructions, he will die.

You must do today what the LORD has commanded to atone for you. Stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting day and night for seven days and do what the LORD requires, so you will not die; for that is what I have been commanded. (Leviticus 8:34-35)

Leviticus Chapter 8 speaks of the consecration of priests, which is no small matter. To be consecrated as a priest is a very honorable office. But because this office is very honorable, it is also a very dangerous thing. If we mess around blindly, the result will be death. I often see perplexing things, especially in the church. Gradually, I began to understand that there is a reason behind these perplexing things, and that is the failure to carefully obey the Lord’s instructions.

Living a Small Life Hinders People from Acting According to God's Instructions

Some time ago, I kept receiving messages on my phone about this pastor getting cancer and that pastor getting cancer! I wondered, is being a pastor a high-risk profession? Then I did a small investigation, listening to the sermons of these pastors on YouTube. The result was very sobering. Because I am very familiar with how the Bible instructs us to be Christians, how the Israelites suddenly perished, why the temple was destroyed... I have gradually come to this conclusion: If you want to live a small life, you will not be able to serve God. Living a small life is actually quite harmful to oneself and others.

Why did Israel perish? After the first destruction of Israel, God preserved some Israelites who listened to Him, and after 70 years, He sent these people back to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. If you read the books of Haggai and Malachi, you will come to the conclusion that after the kingdom of Judah was destroyed, the Israelites were exiled to Babylon. During the Persian Empire, King Cyrus of Persia allowed them to return to rebuild Jerusalem. This event was also a miraculous act of God. The return of the Israelites to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple sounds incredible.

In the days of Nehemiah, Nehemiah was heartbroken because those who returned went on to live small lives. No one took responsibility, so when the country is destroyed, the home will be lost. So Nehemiah asked the emperor for instructions, asking the emperor to send him back to Judah. After Nehemiah returned, everyone began to build the walls under Nehemiah's leadership. After some time, Nehemiah left, and the Israelites went back to living small lives. Later, for 400 years, God did not send any more prophets until Jesus came into the world. As a result, in that generation, the high priests, scribes, and Pharisees in the temple did something that sounded very clever. They divided the temple and the surrounding buildings into small rooms for rent, and set up stalls around the temple for rent, charging very high rental fees, turning the temple into a den of thieves. Jesus was very angry at that time.

Everyone must know that it is not that I am against you living your life, but the question is, can you live a good life if you want to? In fact, this is a bit similar to the situation we face today. If we regard our own home as more important than God’s temple, how can we build the church? Some people think that they must first build their own homes before they can build the church. If you carefully read the books of Malachi and Haggai, you will find that they all took care of their own homes first, and as a result, they were all cursed.

Everyone, do not think that nothing will happen if you do not obey the Lord’s instructions. God will not make a mistake, and neither will the devil. If we do not act according to the Lord’s instructions, it is very dangerous. Because the spiritual realm has its own rules, just like driving a car, we must obey traffic rules. If you think it’s okay to run a red light, you can do so, but one day when something happens, you will disappear into the blue sky. Even though you think it’s okay, there is a saying: He who walks by the river will inevitably wet his shoes. If you often violate traffic rules, what will be the result? The speed doesn’t have to be too fast, seventy or eighty kilometers per hour can take your life! A few days ago, a pastor fell asleep while driving, and the car crashed directly into someone else's truck.

I encourage everyone to return to the Bible and study the word of God carefully. Chinese Mingding Destiny is to solve many of the myths of this generation. Even if I do not have this ability, I am willing to seriously ponder how to solve them. We do not talk about any profound and difficult-to-understand principles. Chapter 9 repeats three times that everything was done according to the instructions of the Lord God. Some people may challenge me, can believing in the Lord be eaten as food? I tell everyone, believing in the Lord can not only be eaten as food, but also give you life! Because human life is in God.

Today's church is not like Jesus, which is a very serious problem. It is all because they do not act according to the instructions of the Lord God, but act according to their own preconceived notions. Today, everyone say a sentence with me: All according to the instructions of the Lord God! Let this be deeply imprinted in your mind and mine. Maybe you will say, you also act according to the instructions of the Lord God, and so do I, we will see the results to know who is carefully obeying the word of God.

God's Glory Will Appear When We Act According to God's Instructions

What exactly is a Christian? In fact, a Christian is a priest. Priests offer sacrifices, whether it is a sin offering or other sacrifices, all according to the instructions of the Lord God. In the ninth chapter of the Old Testament, the first seven days were for Aaron and his sons to be consecrated, and on the eighth day, Aaron and his sons offered sin offerings for themselves and the people of Israel. The Lord God told Moses: The glory of the Lord God will appear to you. Later:

Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the people. Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown. (Leviticus 9:23-24)

The theme of Chapter 9 is: We all act according to the Lord’s instructions, and the glory of the Lord will appear. Although this title is a bit long, the most important thing is to act according to the Lord’s instructions, that is, to carefully obey all the words of God. The New Testament has its own careful obedience. Everyone, do not think that the New Testament is the age of grace. We do not need to offer cattle and sheep anymore, we can just live as we please, and then violate the word of God and just violate it, and just use the precious blood of Jesus to cover it. I can tell everyone that this is not what the Lord God instructed, and Jesus did not teach this.

The Old Testament speaks of offering cattle and sheep, and the New Testament speaks of offering ourselves. You will know when you read it that the New Testament is to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice. I ask you: Which standard is higher? Of course, it is the New Testament. The standard of the New Testament is higher than that of the Old Testament. The Old Testament still requires acting according to God’s instructions. Does the New Testament not need to act according to God’s instructions? Or do you still think it’s okay, that is the law of the Old Testament, and the New Testament is grace? Do not make a mistake, Jesus came to fulfill the law. Everyone, go and read the Bible carefully, God is to fulfill the law in us, but if you do not have the attitude of careful obedience, what law can be fulfilled?

Some people say, how can it be so coincidental to take a one-year-old calf and lamb without defects, and it has to be one year old, can’t it be two years old? No, let’s not mess around. Today we want to build a glorious church of God, and the glory of God must be manifested in us. How should we build? It is to be determined to do according to God’s instructions, and the glory of God will appear in our midst, and the fire of God will descend on our altar of prayer. In fact, the New Testament says that the Holy Spirit is fire, and when the Holy Spirit descends on us, there will be miracles, signs and wonders. I take what God has done in our midst as a testimony, and they are all very miraculous, and they happen every day. As long as people seek my service, what happens to them will eventually become a testimony. I can stay up for several days to tell you these stories.

In this place where the glory of God appears, will you see the power and glory of God? Will you see God listening to our prayers in this place? You will see it, because this place of ours is all according to God’s instructions. You may ask me: Are you really doing according to God’s instructions? I will just briefly say that our Chinese Mingding Destiny system clearly interprets what salvation, faith, pastoring, the church, and what the church is for.

In fact, these words are clearly stated in the Bible, but the problem is that we all read the same Bible, how can we read so many different meanings? I think there is a reason why God chose me. I am a little rigorous, I do not like to mess around blindly. I think anything will be effective if it is done according to its original principles. The Bible says that if you act according to the word of God, the glory of God will appear, then we will rigorously act according to the word of God.

We must start to ponder these things. What is clear comprehension? Clear comprehension is to understand what God has instructed us and then act accordingly. Clear comprehension is not asking a lot of irrelevant questions, such as why a calf and not a puppy? Why must it be a male sheep as a burnt offering? Of course, there are many more, but we do not ask these questions. We must carefully obey and act according to the word of God, this is our responsibility. We must ask what God’s will is? God wants to be sanctified before us and glorified before all the people.

When we cannot see the glory of God, we must know where we have not done it right. If our comprehension is not clear, we should look in the Bible to see how Jesus did it. We must ask ourselves where we have not done it right. Today we are studying Leviticus Chapter 9, the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. If we build God’s church and do not see God’s power and God’s glory, shouldn’t we ask ourselves where we have not done it right? If we develop cancer while doing it ourselves, we must know that we have not done it right and we must act according to God’s instructions. If I myself have not done it right, it is because I have not obeyed the word of the Lord God, so I have brought in a lot of spirits of death. I will not say a lot of words to explain it.

I encourage everyone to emulate me. I am striving to be like Moses, Samuel, and David, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord and acting according to the word of God. When have you seen Moses and Samuel get brain cancer? Or Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob get malignant diseases? Really not. Especially Moses, Moses was still strong at the age of one hundred and twenty. In fact, I dream of being like Moses! One day God will speak to us and teach us how to do it, then we will do as God says.

God has given us many wonderful graces over the years that we have been building the church. Many of our Genesis Bible studies come from God’s wonderful revelation. In the beginning, I kept seeking, and even knelt on the ground and kept praying and asking God, and finally I received God’s revelation. If I have not done it right, I must know that I have not done it right. Without the glory of God, do I have to say that the church is like this? If you build an airplane that cannot fly, do you have to do this? If you drive a car that cannot go or run, can this work? Our brothers and sisters must know that if we do the sacrifice right, we will definitely see the glory of God appear, and miracles, signs and wonders will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Many Myths Arise When Not Following God's Instructions

In Leviticus Chapter 9, I will tell you the key message: we must offer sacrifices according to the instructions of the Lord God. After careful examination, I was surprised to discover that some people initiate online prayer campaigns involving tens of thousands of people, believing that the more people pray, the more powerful it becomes, as the saying goes, Many hands make light work. However, I don't see Jesus leading a prayer team in the Bible. Jesus healed quickly and effectively.

If we are to emulate Jesus, let's not create any prayer teams. Previously, something puzzled me: someone initiated an online prayer campaign with tens of thousands of people praying for one person, but the person died instead of being healed. Was it effective or not? If it's ineffective, what am I supposed to believe? Initiating mass prayer events is quite common, even becoming a myth. I never build prayer teams because they are ineffective.

Nowadays, people do these things in a way that is not in line with the teachings of the Bible. For example, many Christians today like to participate in politics. Their involvement in politics reaches a point where many governments are afraid because they have formed a political force. We should not engage in these political struggles; we should just be good citizens. Regardless of who is in power, we should support them. The key is to follow God's instructions. However God commands, that is how we should act. I really do not see in the Bible that we should actively participate in electing the president or engage in political struggles. Can the glory of Jehovah be revealed by participating in these things? No!

The Church Should Become a Platform for Dispensing Blessings

I encourage everyone to carefully examine the Bible. Don't believe what I say; believe what the Bible says. The Bible has two figures, Jesus and Paul, and what they wrote is excellent. The instructions God gives us in the Bible are very specific, such as the Old Testament instructions to offer male lambs, calves, sealskins, so many rods, so many pegs, etc., which are described clearly. In the New Testament, there are clear descriptions of how to build a glorious and victorious church and how to claim God's promises.

Chinese Mingding Destiny resolves how to build a glorious and victorious church of God. Only a victorious church can claim God's promises, and only then can God's promises be continuously manifested. Many people focus on their own problems: this hasn't been solved, that hasn't been solved. But this is the problem itself. We must focus all our attention on carefully obeying and following God's word, building His temple according to His word, building a church with God's glory, and building an altar with glory and fire. With these things, will our days be bad?

Today, we must rise up to fight, trampling on the devil and the enemy. The blessings that the devil stole in the past must be repaid double today! Because there is a group of people building a glorious church of God, a church where glory appears! We are all priests of God, strictly implementing according to God's instructions. Only by doing this will the days of prosperity come. A few days ago, I talked about Hundredfold Returns. If the glory of God is revealed, will this place lack anything? We will lack nothing. Our goodness is not apart from God. Those who trust in the Lord God lack no good thing. Can you understand?

Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people, blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came out, they blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. (Leviticus 9:22-23)

The church is a place for distributing blessings, provided that it is built according to God's word. What God says, especially what Jesus says, is what we do.

So He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” (Luke 18:29-30)

Jesus only asks us to give up our days. We must put God as our highest priority. We are those who have obtained treasure. We have treasure in these earthen vessels, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. Is carefully obeying and following so difficult? If we don't carefully obey and follow God's word, how can we live without following God's instructions?

Conclusion

Brothers and sisters, let us return to the foundation. Hearing the word of God and acting accordingly is being a wise person, building the house on the rock. Even if the wind blows and the rain falls, it will not collapse. Let building a glorious church be our Mingding Destiny, and let nothing be placed above God or above our Mingding Destiny. We live for this, we are born for this, we die for this. This is the purpose of our lives until we come before God and receive a crown of glory. Let our days on earth be a blessing to many, just as Aaron and Moses came out of the tabernacle and blessed the people, and the glory of God will be revealed here.

May God bless everyone!
