【Sermon】Stewardship Series 03: Make the Most of Your Time, Understand God's Will

2022-03-19 8,173 Management Series Building a Glorious Church Redeeming the Time Time Management Clarifying Matters To What Extent to Achieve What to Do

Introduction

Good day to everyone! I'm going to share a topic that has been oft-repeated, entitled The Key to Management (3): Cherishing Time and Understanding God's Will. This topic has been covered quite a while ago and more than once because cherishing time is of utmost importance. I have listened carefully to the previous content and found it to be well-articulated. However, today's perspective will differ, focusing on the aspect of management.

I want to tell everyone, what exactly is management? It involves managing people, tasks, and money, but there's another crucial element: managing time, which is a matter of life and death. You might wonder how it can be a matter of life and death. Well, what is time? Time is life! When a person's time runs out, life comes to an end. Wouldn't you say that's a matter of life and death? Therefore, how a person spends their time throughout life determines how they expend their life.

A long time ago, I ministered to someone whose mother spent her entire life playingMahjong, eventually passing away at theMahjongtable. Her mother playedMahjongto death, and later, he himself suffered from various illnesses. I pondered, where a person spends their time largely determines their life's condition. I often hear, Teacher, I can't control it. Being unable to control the wasteful expenditure of time on trivial matters is merely a sensation.

What does can't control mean? It means being unable to manage. Whatever is not managed will descend into chaos; whatever lacks management will be done arbitrarily; whatever is done arbitrarily will lead to corruption. Therefore, everyone must not follow that feeling.

Some time ago, a sister came among us. In photographs, her eyeballs appeared mostly white, with very little black remaining. She had difficulty seeing, but after prayer, she was healed. Following her healing, she tried to catch up on all the television dramas she had previously been unable to watch, binge-watching episode after episode. Consequently, her eye problems returned. She was unaware that her eyes were linked to watching television! In reality, television dramas do not directly cause blindness, but how time is spent can lead to more than just blindness – it can lead to mental decay! I felt disheartened upon hearing that her eye problems had returned.

You should know that we have been diligently encouraging everyone to be wise, not foolish, and to dedicate time to matters of utmost importance. Another sister, interestingly, suffered from depression, or, in plain terms, mental illness. She improved significantly after coming among us. Depression, as an illness, arises when the discernment of good and evil and the indulgence of the flesh reach a critical point. Crossing that threshold leads to depression.

As a result of some improvements recently, she began frequently browsing Douyin (TikTok). Can browsing Douyin cultivate intelligence and wisdom? I think not. Later, I inquired about what she had been watching. She had been watching trivial matters about old women, disputes between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law – utter nonsense. She even frequently liked these posts. I lamented! On one hand, our colleagues were giving her an antidote to help her escape from the discernment of good and evil; on the other hand, she was watching Douyin, continuing to partake of the fruit of the discernment of good and evil. What else could it be? Failing to manage our time and lacking understanding of God's will truly shapes a person's life!

Some time ago, while encouraging brothers and sisters to study, one person, remarkably, ached everywhere except for her hair strands! To exaggerate slightly, she was so uncomfortable that she had goosebumps. Why? Because she was not a person of study, she preferred browsing Douyin. When under pressure, she would browse Douyin for two hours, gaining nothing. Upon returning to the assignments and materials meant for her growth, she remained uninformed.

Cherishing Time and Spiritual Wisdom

Wouldn't you say this creates significant pressure? She goes back to Douyin for another two hours.I think in the eternal here after, she will be like the criminals in Water Margin were tattooed on their faces. If she reads English, she will be tattooed with Tik Tok, If she reads Chinese, she will be tattooed with Douyin. People are like this, a life time is not much! How you spend your time is written on your face. You should take a look at the past one week, the past one month, and the past one year. What did you spend you time on? Where did you spend it? After the statistics, you will be shocked, people just spend their time like that, how you know God's will?

I cannot stand some Christians, he said he was saved and found favour in 2012. Look at the way he spends his time , to where have you saved to. It seems like Douyin is his relative. That how this person lives, future will has problems, will being sick, will say, anyway will have Mingding Destiny this church. If sick, will will pray, can't be 100% healed. Doing like this, God's furious can't be blocked. So today our brothers and sisters must be careful, how a person spend their time determines what thing a person will meet in the future.

Yesterday I went to a person's home to visit. Why go to visit in home? Because this brother is having cancer. Why cancer? it is due to the time not being well spent. Everyday cooking, eating ......... Then just like that been spent. According to the English language is living life in nitty-gritty, which is living in daily trivial matters. I am very touched about this. Let us turn Ephesians chapter5:15-17, to look at today's scripture.

Scripture

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. (Ephesians 5:15-17)

Prayer

Let us pray together. God! Today open our minds. God! Today let our hearts wake up again. Lord! Today let our spirits be alive again. Let us know, we should be careful in conducting . Don't be like foolish people, be like wise people. Cherish our time, because this present is evil, not be ignorant, understand the God's will. God! Today open the gate to our hearts. Let us be a smart people. Let us know how to manage our time. When we came before you, we can get good words in front of you. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

The theme of Ephesians and the background of this passage

I have to teach everyone, don't look at problems unilaterally and in isolation. If you deviate from the theme of Ephesians, you won't be able to understand this. Therefore, I need to discuss the theme of Ephesians and the background of this passage together. What kind of book is Ephesians? It is a theological system that synthesizes Paul's ministry over the past years, a very clear summary. Therefore, Ephesians is a book about building a glorious church.

Do you think a glorious church of God is so useful? It is extremely useful! Today, brothers and sisters can receive grace because this is a church full of glory. Through the church, what does God say in Ephesians? He says that through the church, God's wisdom and power are manifested. If you lack wisdom, you desperately need God. So what is the church? The church is the body of Jesus Christ, placing all things under the church.

The Importance of Building a Glorious Church

However, everyone must not assume that all churches are the church. Some churches are above all things, while others are below all things; some churches trample all things underfoot, while others are trampled underfoot. What is the reason? The reason is very simple. The key is whether it is a church full of God's glory or a church without God's glory. In churches without God's glory, they have extinguished the glory. What causes this? God's glory departs because people do not diligently observe and practice.

How important is God's glory? God's glory has a profound impact on our entire life. I don't quite understand. Our brothers and sisters need to know, for example, this brother has been attending this church for many years and still got cancer! What kind of church is this? This church is trampled underfoot by all things. In fact, the definition of the church is:

I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. The church of God will be built on the rock of this truth, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. God will give us the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we release on earth will be released in heaven. (Matthew 16:18-19)

Therefore, the church is our glorious destiny. Why is the church our glorious destiny?

By putting everything under their feet. (Hebrews 2:8)

So, I ask you: how easy is that? How wonderful is that! But what is the problem? Building a glorious church clashes severely with the customs of this world and the desires of the flesh. If people conform to the customs of this world and the desires of the flesh, they will be trampled underfoot by all things. Therefore, people cannot see God's glory, nor can they receive all of God's riches or see all of God's mysteries.

Building a glorious church is closely related to our finances, physical health, and all aspects of human life. That is why I tell you that the theme of Ephesians is so important. Think about it, it is closely related! We are tormented by cancer, undergoing this treatment and that. If we could save that time, save the time spent in hospital beds, and use it to build God's glorious church, wouldn't we suffer much less?

Moreover, you will find that you can control yourself! Why can you control yourself? Because the power within us is strengthened again. Therefore, once building a glorious church, as described in Ephesians, becomes our destiny, the thing we live and die for, God will cause the power within us to be strengthened again.

And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:18)

I am discussing the theme of Ephesians, and in the fifth chapter, it says: imitate God. What should we imitate God in? Use our time wisely to build God's glorious church, and then our conduct will be like that of God's children. Don't be Christians who look like ghosts, whose speech is crude and unrefined, likely learned from television dramas. Our conduct is reflected in how we use our time. Spending time playing card games results in the conduct of a card player; spending time watching television results in the conduct of a television viewer.

Some people watch the television series Empresses in the Palace more than 20 times, regretting that they lack the ability to engage in such scheming. As a result, they learn this from Empresses in the Palace. Can this lead to wisdom? The problem is they haven't even learned it. Failing to cherish one's time, failing to imitate God, and lacking a destiny determine a person's outcome. Carefully observe a person's final state, and that will be their life's conclusion. That is terrifying! Even if you have experienced God's grace, if you do not repent and continue on that path, then so be it.

Time management and spiritual destiny

The theme of Ephesians is building God's glorious church. Is spending time building God's glorious church the same as spending it building your own home? Some people focus on living their lives, so let them live slowly. Our church has high standards because you cannot help but spend this time. If you don't spend this time, you cannot stay here.

I sincerely hope that spending time on God is a wise thing. Using time for study, squeezing out time for watching television, and saving the time spent watching Empresses in the Palace more than 20 times will allow you to learn many things. Allowing you to study to become a person of service, to be able to serve in the future, is very important, it is our destiny. Having time and not having time are both results of management. Some people say they have no time. Where did your time go? Your time went to watching television! That is a matter of management; foolish people have foolish management, and wise people have wise management.

In my ministry over the years, I have felt a lot. I have a friend. When I was in church before, he often came to see me, and I would take him out for tea and food. He often saw us casting out demons and performing miracles. He was very impressed after seeing it, but he was in a very traditional church, where he was also very successful, wealthy, and lived a good life. How could he listen to me? He thought he was living well, and he wondered how he could live if he were like me!

One day, he called me, and his voice was filled with tears. His wife had brain cancer, and the doctors could not cure it. He carried a heart full of hope, hoping that the doctors could cure the cancer. If the doctors could cure the cancer, then it wouldn't be called cancer. The hospital was going to send his wife to hospice care. Do you know what hospice care is? It means waiting to die. I felt touched upon hearing this. The time people wasted in the past, when the time is up, this is what happens. Who can you blame? I am talking about the theme of Ephesians, but I will bring in some stories to tell you that not managing time will lead to this.

His wife was bedridden, unable to get out of bed. Then I took his wife to pray, and in a couple of days, his wife was able to get out of bed and walk. Then the doctor asked his wife how she had recovered. His wife said that a pastor had prayed for her. The doctor asked if he could watch next time the pastor prayed for her. That was certainly no problem; I wasn't doing anything sneaky, I wasn't performing magic, and I didn't have that peach wood sword with its incantations.

Because of the name of Jesus Christ, building God's glorious church will receive power from heaven. As a result, the doctor found nothing special after watching. But that is very different; both are churches, both are in the name of Jesus, but some are effective in the name of Jesus, while others are not. The reason is that we are building God's glorious church according to Ephesians. The church is God's mystery, God's wisdom, God's power. We absolutely do not conform to the customs of this world, we spend all our time on this, so how can God not know? God knows.

After praying for a few days, his wife recovered. She was originally going to hospice care, but instead, she packed her bags and was able to go home from the hospital. After returning home, I told this brother and his wife that this was not a disease but a demon, and whether or not this demon returns depends on your destiny. You must follow us and believe in the Lord. They said that wouldn't work, their local church was very loving. I asked what kind of love? He said, When my wife was sick, they often came to see us and brought us soup. I said, then go ahead.

Wise Management and Spiritual Mission

Is the gospel preached by that church the gospel? He had cancer after being in that church for many years. I prayed for him and he got well, but they went back to that church. The consequences were predictable. He thought Jesus was the same there as here, but could that be the same? They preach about salvation. Three months later, he called me and told me that his wife had suddenly died. What had they been doing for those three months? Often taking pictures among the wildflowers by the roadside, traveling to beautiful scenic spots, and sharing beautiful photos in their moments! The flowers were indeed beautiful, but were the people beautiful? Let's wait and see.

What I observed tells me that management is very important! So, in this place, the Apostle Paul writes: Don't be like foolish people, but be like wise people, and cherish your time. What do you cherish your time for? To build God's glorious church! They think the things they are doing are very interesting! Making various poses, and her husband is taking pictures of her, like she wanted to go to heaven, really going on heaven. Going to East or West is not so sure. What am I saying?The Bible never lets us waste time, the Bible tells us to cherish our time, manage our time well, and spend our time wisely. This generation needs a lot of service! These thing are really so deadly!

Today the brothers and sisters should know, have we really been doing what the Bible said? Not yet! Watching their children live in curses still think I am serving, God will memorize my kids. That what god memorized, just like God remembers Abraham, God will save Lot from Sodom. But God did not burn Sodom because of Abraham! Wasn't it still burned down? Didn't Lot still lose all his wealth? Fun? No good! So, if our brothers and sisters and have not read Bible clearly, read and learn carefully! This is the theme of Ephesians and the background of this passage.

Management is about What to Do, How to Do It, When to Do It, and To What Extent

My management philosophy is very simple. After I finish saying this, my 80 year-old mother, who has not been to school, can understand. What is management? Management is about what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and to what extent. This is also relating to time. I have a project management concept. Everyone should know, in the past I managed many projects, I can boast, God gave me wisdom to manage these projects well.

I have my own set of project management system. Project management is about what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and to what extent. Modern project management also has specialized 《Project Management Professional Skills Certificate》. But I manage my own. If you ask which is more practical? I think mine is more practical. What did I solve? I made the most challenging things in this project clear.

What is the most challenging time in the project? It is these things if the can't be well completed, this project will fail. What did I solve? See what you want to do? You can do anything, browse Doiyun, see tv shows, but that it has not used. To Do whatever should solve this project how to do it. It is very important! If it solve what thing to do, what thing should not do, your time will save a lot.

What to do and what not to do, this is of utmost importance! Do not think you can do everything; do you fancy yourself Superman? Do you think dyeing your briefs red and wearing them on the outside makes you Superman? Wearing tight pants with a red robe over them does not make you Superman. No. You must decide what to do and what not to do. If you do everything, where will you find the time? If you say you will do this and that, that is being a muddle-head. Solving what to do and what not to do, that is what to do.

Wise Management and Efficient Service

Why do I not do that? My energy is limited. Pondering what to do and what not to do requires great wisdom. What can I do? Let us accumulate these questions one by one, and with examples, I can assist you. Today, I am giving you a crucial concept, but I cannot delve too deeply into it. If you consider the question of what to do and what not to do, you will surely say, If I do this, I cannot do that.

Think about it, either you go to the market every day to buy groceries, cook, eat, clean up, cook again, eat again, and clean up again, and you will have no time for anything else. But if you are serving God, you must sacrifice some of your time; some time must be squeezed out. This will eventually lead to a lot of pressure. What kind of pressure? Some people will complain that you have not spent time with them. Today, I am telling everyone that in addition to solving what to do and how to do it, how to do it is absolutely vital! Solving the how to do it issue saves a great deal of time.

The how to do it aspect is a profound topic. The other day, one of our sisters spent an hour doing a task, and I told her, I could have done that in ten minutes. She asked, How could you do it in ten minutes? I said, I'll show you. It was about sanding the iron-edged table, and she was just dawdling. I really want to solve her dawdling issue, but I have not been very successful to this day. Perhaps my abilities are not great enough. Are you spending ten minutes doing an hour's worth of work, or an hour doing ten minutes’ worth of work?

If you ask me where the key lies, the key is in how to do it. If it's not resolved, the pressure is immense. You don't know how to do it and you are just fumbling around aimlessly. When the pressure is high, you spend two hours on Douyin, and the pressure continues to mount. The problem cannot disappear because you do not know how to do it. You spend another two hours, and the day is gone. The next day, you come to me in tears: Teacher, pray for me, I am collapsing! Well, how can you not collapse, doing things that way! You are spending all your time on Douyin, and you don't know how to solve the problem. Can the pressure not be great? Solving how to do it and solving when to do it are both crucial; this is my management system.

For example, I said to a sister last night: Do not try to do everything at once. Focus on this one task thoroughly this week, and then do another task next week. She did not understand. What do you mean? My meaning is to manage your time well. Have you all observed that at an intersection, if the traffic light changes every second, people will not have time to cross, and that intersection will be ineffective; no car will be able to move. What if it changes every ten seconds? Maybe two cars can barely get through. What if it changes every thirty seconds? Observe the traffic lights; if the changing speed is faster, the traffic flow is less; if the time is longer, the traffic flow is more. Therefore, the traffic light switching time has a critical impact on the flow of traffic, and there are optimization points. But it cannot change once a day; that will not work.

Today, we must know when to do what. If you switch before it is warmed up, then switch again before it is warmed up again, you will accomplish nothing. Time management is not about doing something from this time to that time, but about thinking whether, by using this time for this task, I can arrange the time well. Some things can be done simultaneously! Simultaneous doing is easy to understand. For example, sometimes when I am doing handicrafts, I need to sand something, and at the same time, I lead a sick person in prayer for two hours, one hour... The spirit of COVID, go away! The spirit of cancer, go away! Actually, my hand is sanding. What does that mean? That my hands do not need to be there for the quality of the prayer, my hand sanding does not affect the quality of the prayer.

Wise Choices and Time Management

Let me give you another example. Some time ago, a sister was looking everywhere for her mobile phone because she was sitting on the toilet in a public restroom, using her phone, and forgot to take it with her when she left. When she went back to look for it, the phone was gone. Many people sit on the toilet and use their phones; this is a classic example of multitasking. So our time is all managed. Management is what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and to what extent to do it. Some things can be done simultaneously.

Choosing What to Do Is Crucial

Today, I say that choosing what to do is crucial. A few days ago, a sister called me, crying. I said: Why are you crying? I cannot serve! I must repent. You should take care of your children well. Getting married and having children, you cannot ignore them once they are born. Looking after your children properly is not a sin; it is your Mingding Destiny, and you do not need to agonize over it. People have already chosen to do such things; what is the problem? Of course, some people choose not to do these things, and they do not have these issues. Then they can have time to do other things. People, however, want to do this and that, and they are under too much pressure. People's lives are not long, only twenty or thirty thousand days. Time is short; what have you been doing?

People's pursuits and ideas, what exactly to do, need to be considered carefully. After you do it, you cannot say, My children are being raised by their grandmother or their maternal grandmother, and it is upsetting. The maternal grandmother is also working very hard, looking after you and then your children. What people do requires making a good decision. You choose to browse Douyin, or you choose to build a glorious church to serve? Which is more important? That is your choice. Once chosen, there are consequences. I never encourage people to agonize over serving when they should be looking after their children. If you want to look after your children, look after them well; that is also God's will.

But how wonderful it is to be unencumbered; one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry; things are very simple. You can do whatever you want; it is true freedom! So people need to make a choice. You must know that after you have done it, you cannot say you have not done it; this thing cannot be returned. So choosing what to do is crucial. After doing it, you must be responsible; I do not encourage you to be irresponsible.

So today, brothers and sisters, we must study carefully what we should do. Some time ago, a sister treated her work as God, and no matter what anyone said, she would not listen. As she worked, she lost her job. If you had known this earlier, why did you do it in the first place? Let me tell you that work is a very spiritual thing. I can tell you that serving our God well and building God's glorious church is not a loss; it is definitely not a loss.

But some things, a person's life is not like computer software; you cannot go back and repeat it. You can start fresh tomorrow, but you cannot repeat yesterday; I cannot undo it. For example, if you gave birth to a child last month, you cannot go back and undo the birth; this thing cannot be undone. So choosing what to do is crucial.

So today I encourage everyone to clarify your thinking a bit. What exactly should we spend our time doing? Where should we spend our time? I said before that if we save all the time we spend in hospitals and use it to serve God, that would be so glorious! Using all of those years of Alzheimer's, those years of being bedridden, and those years of electrotherapy and chemotherapy to serve God would be so wonderful! Why suffer those sins?

If people do not understand and live as muddle-heads, that is fine too, but putting your hope in doctors is not wise. The doctor does not even know where to put his hope. Prioritize well; what to do is crucial. After we choose what to do, we start choosing how to do it.

Efficient Management and Wise Choices

Why do people not have time? They work in vain, working and working in vain, because they do not understand how to do it properly and just do it blindly. Their concepts are unclear, so they just do it blindly, and doing it blindly is useless. So how we do things, we must gradually understand and grasp it thoroughly. If you thoroughly understand one thing, and grasp each thing thoroughly, breaking down a complex problem into several simpler problems and solving them one by one, then you will find that once you understand how to do it, you can solve it immediately, and your efficiency is high, and then you will have time, right?

You make some time; how is time squeezed out? You save all the wasted time, so you do not need to waste it, right? So how do you understand things? If you think you cannot possibly understand it, then you really cannot understand it; if you think you do not have the ability, then you are a person without ability. People's potential is very large, and where does time come from? It is made by doing things in a smart way. How great is people's potential? It is that you can still put a lot of things in it.

A young man managed to find a job. Others could finish a drawing in fifteen minutes, but it took him a whole morning to finish one. Later, the boss saw that it would not do; he had him watch on the side. How could he do anything if he only finished one in half a day? He had to learn how to do it. How to do it is the key. Why? Because when he works, he just thinks wildly, wasting a lot of effort on the whole drawing. What to do? You have to manage your habit of acting blindly. You say he is completely blind, but he can manage to get one thing out in half a day; he is just unable to summarize how to do things.

Today, I will say it again, if you have never accomplished anything, and you are already old, then you have never understood one thing. I am telling you that serving you is difficult! Why? Because you always want to be fast, always want to do it quickly, but you cannot be fast. If you are fast, everything ends up muddled, your head is filled with muddle, like paste. Where has the time gone? It has been spent on nonsense.

Today, let us clarify some concepts before we do it, and then strengthen the concepts after we do it, and the concepts will become clearer, and then we will thoroughly understand the problem. Next time, you will use the method you have sublimated to solve other problems; this is called management. Do not spend time doing it wrong, then taking it apart, then throwing away the trash, and then doing it wrong again, then taking it apart; that is useless; no matter how much you do, it is useless.

When to Do It, and to What Extent

When to do it, and to what extent is crucial. Someone said to me that this is wisdom. This is absolutely wisdom. Let me share with you an experience of our brothers and sisters. They serve those who procrastinate and dawdle, and they set time limits, and after trying it, they felt that it worked quite well. They said: Teacher, setting a time limit, finishing it in one hour no matter what, works really well.

Let me tell you one of my own habits. Sometimes, you will find that I lead bible study on Wednesdays, lead bible study on Fridays, and do it so many times in a week, and then preach on Sundays. When the time comes, I have to preach, and it is impossible for the sermon manuscript not to come out. It has to come out when the time comes; this works so well. Why? Because you have no way out, because you have to. Because if you give me another week, eventually I will dawdle and put it off until the last minute, and it will still be the same. It's like a student's thesis; if you give them a month, they will not finish it; if you give them another month, they still will not finish it. If you say that it must be turned in today, then they turn it in.

Cherishing Time and Wise Management

What is the reason for that? To what extent to do it is confusing to many people. So today, when we do it, managing when to do it, is very important. I ask you, when one person plays chess with another person, and one person wins and the other person loses, what is the key? It is the sequence of playing chess - this time, we move the chariot, that time, we jump the knight, that time, we advance the pawn, some people call it advancing the pawn, it is all the same. My point is, that final sequence, when to do this, when to do that, is crucial.

If someone does not have project management experience, then they do not know when to do what. They cannot arrange the sequence well. They think that drawing a gain chart, drawing a pay chart, drawing a mind map, and drawing a project management process will solve the problem, but no, those things are just forms.

Some people draw mind maps, but they do not have the essence of mind maps, only the form of mind maps. Some people make a project management chart, but they do not have the essence of project management. Because when to make the project management chart, why to make it at that time, they have to figure it out, like playing chess. When to do it, that is a discipline.

Today I want to share a very important concept with you, which is when to do it? What to do? For example, doing something at this time and doing it at another time makes a big difference. For example, if you are raising several children, then you should raise them well. Do not make things worse at that time. Wait until you have raised your children well, raised them very efficiently, and managed them very well, with the children not crying or fussing in your hands, and everything is well-managed, then can you manage something else? But no, you just have to do everything at once, like a Northeast stew.

I encourage everyone to understand what to choose to do, to understand how to do it, to understand when to do it, and to understand to what extent to do it. I am working hard to tell everyone that this is a concept, and you must grasp this concept.

Cherish the Time

You must cherish the time and know what God's will is. God absolutely does not want us to be poor; God absolutely does not want us to be sick. I have never seen in the Bible that God blesses you with a disease. I have not seen it. What I have seen is that God wants us to prosper, God wants us to be creative; God wants us to constantly be renewed; God wants us to be abundant; God wants us to be healthy. These are all of God's good intentions.

How are God's good intentions achieved? Cut out those meaningless things, and understand those things one by one. Today, everyone must know how great a blessing is, how important ability is, and how important wisdom is. If you grasp Mingding Destiny, you will have blessings; you will have ability; you will have wisdom; you will have spiritual power; you can trample on the enemies of the devil; you can become a conquering person; and you will lack no good thing in the end.

Once there was a person who got cancer, and I ministered to him and he got well. Later, seeing his child serving with me, he said: Teacher! How can my child live by serving with you like this? I was puzzled. Was it not I who healed him of cancer? How could he ask such a foolish question? It does not matter; you can live however you want. Good luck to you. That is your Mingding Destiny. Your Mingding Destiny is to live a mundane life, then live it, and if you live into cancer, it has nothing to do with me.

The effect of the time a person spends in life will follow you until eternity. Building God's glorious church, I tell you, you will definitely not suffer a loss. I have personally seen people living under a curse, and that is definitely not the way to go; the more they live, the more they decline. The mother worries while watching, the father worries while watching, and the brothers and sisters around worry while watching; living under a curse.

Mingding Destiny and Wise Choices

There are some of our brothers and sisters, and sometimes when I talk to their children, I do not like to expose them, because if I expose them, people will feel that they have lost face, and I also lose face, and it feels boring. Actually, my children are still pretty good. They also believe in the Lord, and they are pretty good. They went to that church, and that is not bad; at least they believe in the Lord and are saved. There is no blessing! What are they doing?

Today I want to tell everyone that you must have Mingding Destiny, and it is not enough to just listen to sermons on Sundays; do not be confused. Understand the most important thing, which is why people live in this life. What people believe is what they will get, and the effect of the time a person spends in life will follow you. In the eternal realm in the future, some people will have the word Douyin branded on their faces, some people will have the name of the TV series Empresses in the Palace branded on their faces, and some people will shine with the glory of God forever. God is a powerful God; how could God not solve the problem of people living? It is just that we do not know it ourselves.

Sometimes we make a mistake and may go back to pre-liberation times. If you are already in pre-liberation times, today I am giving you a reminder: Repent again and return to God properly. As long as you are willing to choose, willing to determine to follow God, and willing to determine to obtain Mingding Destiny, the matter of wanting to live well is not difficult to solve. Whether people have time or do not have time all depends on people's choices. What is called having time? If this thing is important, then they will have time. What is called not having time? If this thing is not important, then they will not have time. But people often confuse this matter.

The theme of Ephesians is to build God's glorious church; grasping Mingding Destiny is an incomparably good thing. I know that there are many churches, and some brothers and sisters are really strange. They get cancer in that church and still continue to go to that church. After they get cancer, no one in that church serves them, and they still continue to go to that church. Why do they go to that church? Later I understood, they have a small group every week, and everyone in that small group chitchats, eats, plays, talks gossips, chats, and tells jokes. Is that not corruption? All the time is spent on this. So that is confusion!

People cannot continue to be foolish. People must be smart. Cut off all those meaningless things and start living in prosperity; that is God's will. May God bless everyone!
