I. PREAMBLE

Good day to all. We shall discuss a most captivating topic. In our previous discourse on Mammon, we touched upon breaking free from its dominion, shattering spiritual shackles, and attaining liberty from bondage. Some may ponder, Why have I yet to find freedom? O God, shake them! Today, our subject is I will shake the heavens and the earth once more.

Some might exclaim, God, I cannot bring myself to believe it! When the shaking occurs, faith shall arise in its wake. Others might lament, God, I have no hope of eternal life! When the shaking comes, you may perhaps glimpse a glimmer of hope. The works of God are often awe-inspiring, and the refuse within us shall be swept away in these wondrous moments. In reflecting upon these events, we realise that what we once deemed truth, now seems detrimental. Why is this so? Because we have undergone a profound shaking. Has there been a shaking? Yes, indeed.

Henceforth, we embark upon a new series, entitled Building a Glorious Church. This series represents the most significant discovery of Chinese Mingding Destiny, namely, that God's intention is to establish a glorious church. Throughout the Holy Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, the central theme is the building up of the body of Jesus Christ, so that all things may be united in Him. You might ask, What sort of discovery is this? It is, in fact, the most profound discovery, for many, as they read, forget that the overarching theme of the entire Bible is the establishment of the church.

One might inquire, Why am I unaware of this? It is because you have not devoted sufficient time to reading the scriptures. Why then is it called Mingding Destiny? Because building a glorious church is our destiny. We are born for this purpose, and we shall die for it. When God chooses us, to accomplish His will in this generation, it is to shake the heavens and the earth once more. God shall again shake the heavens and the earth, so that His temple, which is His church, may once again be filled with His glory.

If you survey the world today, is there not discord between nations and amongst peoples? And are there not endless calamities? The news is replete with them. One moment an aircraft crashes, the next a bridge collapses, a vehicle plunges downward, and then something else falls. Things are constantly tumbling, and if someone happens to be inside, they fall as well. Is the entire world not in a state of chaos?

God is shaking all nations, and have you not observed the audacity of man? When man becomes excessively brazen, you will find an abundance of natural and man-made disasters. Why is this? Because man has no right to be arrogant. People today are somewhat audacious, thinking themselves capable of anything, and the result is manifold disasters. When will man humble himself before God, acknowledge his mortality of but seventy or eighty years, perhaps ninety? You must recognise that you have no right to be arrogant, for such hubris invites calamity.

God is shaking all nations, shaking the heavens and the earth. But for us, there is no cause for concern. Why? Because you are a builder of God's glorious church. This shaking is for your sake, for God shakes the heavens and the earth for the sake of His glorious church, so that some may be chosen to rise up and build it. If you are among the elect, I tell you, it is a rare and extraordinary occurrence, a far less probable event than winning the lottery. Look at yourself; if God is shaking you, it is indeed a great honour. Why? Because you may be a precious jewel. Why may be? Some are shaken and disappear, while others grow through the shaking and become treasures.

Yesterday, I visited a friend, and I felt a pang of regret. I had not been in touch for nearly three years. I had ministered to him before, hoping to deliver him from cancer, but he chose to return to the local brick-and-mortar church. For a time with us, his cancer had diminished, but he found our demands a bit too stringent. Or, as I would say, somewhat demanding. Thus, he returned to his physical church.

He contracted the cancer within the traditional church, and it was reduced when he was with us, only to return when he went back. The cancer had grown to be grotesque. Have you seen such cancers? Those purplish-red, pinkish masses of decaying flesh, resembling a small cauliflower, are revolting, with blood and filth oozing out. It is a putrid mass of rotting flesh, and its discharge is corrosive and virulent.

God is shaking so many things in this generation. I was deeply moved, realizing that people are deceived by their own lies. We, brothers and sisters, must recognise that being a Christian is a high-risk undertaking, even more so than being a government official, who faces the threat of anti-corruption measures. In God's kingdom, is God's standard not higher than that of the government? God demands holiness, not merely integrity, but holiness. It is indeed tragic when a person becomes a Christian and fails to overcome.

I have observed that Christians are more prone to cancer than those of the world. Many among us have been shaken by God due to illness, which finally shattered their aspirations for a comfortable life. If such dreams have not yet been shattered, I shall pray for you: God! Shake them; a good shaking will do. Therefore, the events that befall you—financial losses, illness, business failures, or even divorce—I see as good. There is nothing bad in my eyes because I see everything as good. Why? Because God is shaking people.

Some say, Teacher, I have lost my job. I reply, Good! For there is much within that needs to be removed. People must realise they are not in control. Others say, Teacher, I am heavily in debt. I reply, Good! Why did you love money so much? Yet others say, Teacher, I am in great pain. I reply, You should be in pain! Others might object to my sentiment. If I don’t say it like this, how should I say it? Wonderful and great! If it doesn’t hurt, do you still love the world? It will be worse if there is no pain. God is shaking people! I found the law, that God particularly liked to shake things up.

God loves to shake things, shaking the heavens and the earth, shaking everyone's heart over and over again. Every time there is a shake, people’s hearts go back to God, and those who do not go back to God are trash, and those who go back to God are treasure. Do you all understand? Everyone understood. Are we asking for too much from you? We don’t ask for much, I only ask that you demand of yourselves according to God’s demands. If you don’t demand of yourself according to God’s demands, then whose demands do you use? Your own demands? Then can God not shake you? God can still shake you even if you demand of yourself according to God’s demands, but if you do not demand of yourself according to God’s demands, what should you do?

You know, in the Bible, it is very interesting, Abraham, did God shake him? Shook him! Did God gave Abraham a lot of shakes? Many. Abraham arrive at Canaan, God said This is the promised land which I give you. The land suffers a famine as a result, Abraham felt the five tastes in his mouth, all the condiments fell, and thought in his heart, How can this be?. How was it possible? When Abraham arrived at Egypt, his wife got taken away by Pharoah, the King of Egypt, was he heartbroken? Heartbroken!. It is impossible to not be heartbroken.

Issac and Jacob were the same. Did God make Abraham dedicate Issac, was it painful? His heart broke, and God gave him 3 days to consider, before he took Issac to walk the road to the place, his heart was struggling, it was really painful, but he eventually got through it. Every time there was a shake, every time there was a victory for Abraham, God would say I will bless you. When Abraham gave Issac, God said For you gave it up, I must give you big blessings, you shall receive the gate of your enemy. God really likes to test people, do you know God? If you don’t recognise God, I tell you, God really likes to test people.

If you were to go for my ideas, I do not like to be troubled. Because I have a Government job, and the pay is not low, it is a high level management role. And so just live a life like that. In the past it was like that, to live peacefully in the world, I thought that was a blessing, but the job got cut, and I was troubled. And that kind of trouble is really hard. Those who have not seen such times do not know it. Add on mortgages for 3 houses which have not been paid off, that really wants to kill you.

Every shake must be overcome with faith, Issac, Jacob, did the same. After the shaking, they become a treasure of God, God looks and says that this person is Abraham, that this person is Issac, and that this person is Jacob. Can you understand? Jacob experienced many things, there were troubles in this lifetime, but he is a treasure. Was Paul troubled in this world? Beaten by sticks, struck by rocks and many other troubles, after listening do not fear, I need to tell you, you do not seem to be eligible to experience these things, God does not seem to like shaking you, is it?

Did Lot get shaken?, He did. Lot moved to Sodom, and was caught by Tidal and made a slave. Did he get shaken? Lot was bound with ropes, and bound into a bunch. Lot, Lot’s Wife, they walked in a single row, and Lot was thinking in his heart Done for, this time I am definitely a slave!, the property was taken away.

In those days as a slave, he never thought that Abraham would be sent to save him. After Lot got saved, did he ask Uncle and repent to him?, saying Uncle, it is all my fault, I shouldn’t have left you, I want to be a person with Mingding Destiny!. Being unable to fulfil Mingding Destiny is not to be laughed at, God because of Uncle Abraham saved me, I want to go back and thank my Uncle. Did he do that? No! He returned to Sodom. I asked you, how did the Israelites exit Egypt, did God shake things up?. It shook things up, because the people wanted to exit Egypt.

How many Israelites were there? 3 Million People. Let me ask you, how many Egyptian People were there? At least 10 or 20 million people, it is impossible that there were only 10,000 Egyptians to manage 3 million Israelites. if there were 20 million Egyptians, how many Egyptians were killed? No house ever escaped being hit, if there were 5 people in a house and 1 died, 20% roughly works to 4million with 4 million coffins.

Did Egyptians see the light? Still stuck in the dark! A massive earthquake. Were the Israelites free? They were free! Did all of Egypt's wealth get robbed? The Israelites took away all of Egypt's possession, because their sons has died and that they were grieving. Does God worry about 4 million deaths? He doesn’t really care about killing 4 million people. The reason is simple: to ensure everyone knows God wants to shake the heavens and earth. God is still shaking the heavens and earth.

During the Pandemic, there were many deaths. High bridge collapses, too! Building crumbles. People die in battle. When Jewish settlers left. Egypt, how many died? Approximately six hundred thousand! Killing this way? God indeed enjoyed it for a reason. Because He does not really pay attention to the number of deaths. However, God pays attention to gold, silver and treasures! The earthquake is for you, the treasured. Over six hundred thousand Jewish people have died. However, Joshua and Caleb have gone to Canaan. They were rewarded twice. In the way of God, garbage never counts. Only treasures matter!

You respond to God’s will. Let God shake you! Let those unshakeable things be protected, and the shakable ones be taken away. Earthquake must happen within the heart. Earthquake must happen to those influenced by mammon or a small-minded person. Let there be earthquake, even more stronger earthquake. Those short sighted are miserable. Let more misery come. Life isn’t easy being a man of shallow faith.

My friend, has problems that could not be handled. What issues, nearly there? No! Then other small matters. Did I want? He has a tiny faith that is very stubborn. Not easily moved, you know!

However, there is a rich man. He lives well every day. How easy it is to just go to hell. Not able to depart from hell. Too easy a life. Be shaken again so our hearts get purified. It made the church more glorious. We Chinese Mingding Destiny have gone through demolition and rebuilding. I enjoy these processes a lot.

Imagine you are buying a second-hand house. I am demolishing and remodeling! If not, it would be suffering to just repair. Dismantling old church is suffering! The time during epidemic is especially fruitful. Before, they may have said brick and mortar is important

During the time of epidemic, they may have said that I am forward-looking (which is not me). My vision is from God’s. Therefore, we have many prepares during the time of epidemic. It has been many years that we have built our online church. However, they are not supportive! It may be okay if others are not in my support, After myself and my team contracted high fever and got Covid, the rubbish (selfish ambition) was thrown out.

I thank God for His will, even though others are saying it is bad. God, let more challenges come! Let challenges come. It is there a famous saying: may rain come even more!

Let Gods tremble again and purify!

Tremble, cleanse and purify

Trembling hearts are more glorious!

Our hearts are more aligned through God’s trembling

We are separated in light of God’s tremble

We hope that hearts are more receptive to God in earthquake!

Please work with God for his most magnificent calling that started at beginning

Our job is to welcome the Lord by constructing the temple with reverence!

II. SCRIPTURE

We turn to Haggai, chapter 2, verses 6 through 9 which reads thus:

'This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the Lord Almighty. 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the Lord Almighty. 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the Lord Almighty. (Haggai 2:6-9)

III. PRAYER

Let us now pray together. O God, we beseech You anew in Your presence today. May you manifest Yourself in this generation, and greatly shake the heavens and the earth, in the spiritual realm and in this temporal world. Shake the nations and ourselves, that we may be more aligned with Your heart and become the people who build Your temple.

May we learn from the failures of the Israelites during the time of Zerubbabel and serve as witnesses to Your glory. May we be wholly sanctified and turned to You, joyfully building Your glorious church. O God, since You have chosen us, may Your will be done. Guide us to walk clearly in Your will, shaping and moulding us according to Your intent, that we may be more like You and ever more connected to Your lifeblood.

Enable us to utterly overcome the spirit of Mammon and the love of this world. Grant us understanding in this world, that building Your glorious church is a most privileged destiny and a most glorious office. Let Your glory fill the church and the temple, and let the glory manifested in us be unprecedented, surpassing all ages past. O God, awaken us, and raise us up as Your people, Your children, to walk in Your will. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

IV. SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT

This passage has a most intriguing background. I addressed it once before, several weeks ago. Today, I reiterate it, for God, in every generation, seeks out individuals. In the time of Haggai, He found a man named Zerubbabel. God found Zerubbabel and desired to use him to build His glorious temple, or rather, to restore the temple built by Solomon. Zerubbabel became the governor of Judah, a regional potentate, with complete control in his hands.

Was Zerubbabel capable of governing? Yes, indeed. Zerubbabel led a group of Israelites and brought back the gold and silver vessels plundered from the temple, to rebuild it in Jerusalem. Yet, as the years passed, God's temple remained desolate. Was the result? Zerubbabel was busy serving as governor, no doubt very busy.

As a result, God's temple remains abandoned, and the people are living under a curse. God hopes the people will build a relationship with him. if not, the people can turn to other gods or idols, which are garbage compared to the one and only God.

When Governor rebuilt his temple in Jerusalem, what does it mean?
What happens when a person does not focus on God, his/her is miserable.. In reality, God wants the Israelites to go back, and build a relationhsip with God: this is building one's temple.
There is a key fact in this world. People who build their life with God is always prosperous, People who doesn't, are miserable.
If governor has a strong relation with a God, the people will be very good.

It wasn't an easy reconstruction because it was destroyed.
No one can live in Jerusalem because people can not live in that state - there has to relationship and interaction!
There isn't even a God.
What the governor do? First, he is alone. No money and resources.
No one to talk to the governor and they did not finish the temple. They are still working on smaller houses for wealth and not for building God's relationship with the people.

When Governor sees what he sees, he then has to learn people's ways so can interact properly, which makes things even harder.
How tough is that? Not working with God, they are worshipping their ancestors like their own God!
In my religion, only believe in one God - the Almighty God!
People might be scared! He is alone - no temple and therefore no God relation.
Governor then decides to build a relationship on his own.
God only likes his relation through people, instead of temples.

Zerubbabel returned to Judah and assumed the governorship, but his spirit was somewhat dampened. Did Zerubbabel have a desire to build the temple? Yes, he did. In Babylon, under the Persian Empire, his heart was filled with excitement at the prospect of returning to Jerusalem to build the temple. A great multitude of Jews would return to Jerusalem to construct the temple.

However, upon seeing the reality, Zerubbabel realised that the task was rather daunting. The temple was not merely a bare structure; its condition was appalling, utterly ruined, with all the gold and silver gone. Some among those who had seen the Solomon’s temple before its destruction remembered its magnificent splendour, which was beyond compare. Zerubbabel and the people of Israel wondered, How can we do this? There is no gold or silver, no money. What is to be done with these conditions?

Zerubbabel, arriving in that place as governor, airdropped into a situation where even becoming the magistrate of a small county can be a challenge. Having landed, one must first become familiar with the environment and the factions. There would be numerous political adversaries ready to cause trouble. Was the work demanding? Yes, it was. There were many entrenched interests, Israelites and Jews doing business with the locals for profit. If you opposed them, they would oppose you. It was uncertain who would prevail, and his position was precarious, for he had no temple, no God.

Was Zerubbabel troubled? Yes, he was. Afraid? Yes, how could he not be? Zerubbabel saw the people, who, upon returning to the land, were preoccupied with their own affairs, living for themselves. When the call came to build the temple, they claimed to have no time. These people had not had enough of living for themselves.

Those adversaries who tried to finish me off, to kill me and be done with it, failed, and I am still alive today, unable to die no matter how hard they try. If we approach construction with a live or die conviction, I ask you, can the temple be built? Yes! I tell you, if I were Zerubbabel, that is what I would do. If the Israelites do not come to build the temple with me, I will begin moving bricks myself, clearing debris myself. Today I clear a little, tomorrow two people join me, the day after, the three of us clear a little more, then ten come. After some time, it is done. Is there a problem? No problem, for God is pleased with me.

With a live or die conviction, as long as we live, we live in God's will. O God, if You seek me, look no further. Of course, if You seek others, I will not interfere. O God, You have sought me, I will take on this task! So, brothers and sisters, know that I ask this not for myself, but for your own benefit. I ask for your benefit; is there a problem? There should not be. I ask for your benefit. Why do you hate me for it? Therefore, God seeks vessels of faith; this is what God will do.

Today, what our church must do is find treasures. Have we found Zerubbabel? We have! God will shake the heavens and the earth. Why? To bring the treasures of all nations. Money is not the problem, the adversary is not the problem; faith is the problem. Those with faith are treasures in God's eyes. Can God not manage these small matters? Of course, God can! God has mercy on me and shows me favor. Some come to me and say, Looking at you, this church is faltering, with only a few members. Did God choose you? Look at those churches with tens of thousands of people, the stage, the lights, the sound system, the drum set! My goodness! The worship is like a concert. I do not desire that.

So, in that desolate state, I tell you, we were a super-miraculous church. Why? The most meetings. A 100% attendance rate at prayer meetings. No church could achieve that; everyone in the church participated. All of Singapore's public holidays were fasting prayer meetings. Everyone came; no one went to play. Miraculous? Miraculous.

Our brothers and sisters were proud of our church. However, one sister was quite interesting. She secretly went to another church. A few days later, she returned. I asked her, Why are you back? She said, Teacher, that church is terrible. I asked, How so? She said, They do not even have a ministry for writing; their church is terrible. They cannot even manage a website. No one comes to prayer meetings; their church is really bad.

As long as we have faith to ask, God will work. Do you not often come to prayer meetings? Know that every shaking and difficulty is a reminder. After a month, you finally obediently come to prayer meetings. I do not say why you should come to prayer meetings. Some say, Teacher, I am tormented by demons. Now they know how to attend prayer meetings and gatherings. Understood? Before, as soon as prayer meetings were mentioned, they would slip away. So, God uses the shaking of these people living casually to warn them.

Do you know what the Bible says today? In the Book of Haggai, it is mentioned, Consider now. What should you consider? The desolation of the temple. What did the desolation of the temple lead to? It led to the people working hard but reaping little. They thought it was a natural disaster, but it was not; it was God warning them.

In our church, from the beginning, it was destined to be a glorious church, a church that displays God's glory. If we are to be Christians, we should have done this a long time ago. We must be outstanding Christians. To build a church, we must build a church filled with God's glory.

I tell you, some pastors worry about me. They say, Pastor, if you do this, will there still be people in the church? I say, It does not matter. Even if I am the only one left, I will persist, because this is God's will! A group of people centered on God, a group of people who love God, I will never build a church filled with worldly filth.

When God finds people of such character, God shakes. Today, God will shake again. The opportunity is here. When we lay the foundation of the temple, from this day forward, God says, I will bless you. This happened many years ago. As a result, those who came among us were healed. In the Book of Haggai, a passage is spoken that everyone should clearly understand.

“If someone carries consecrated meat in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine or olive oil, or any other food, will it become consecrated?”“No,” the priests replied.(Haggai 2:12)

Then Haggai said, “If someone defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, will it be defiled?”“Yes,” the priests replied.(Haggai 2:13)

Then the Lord said, “So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,” declares the Lord. “Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.(Haggai 2:14)

Do you understand this? No matter what is done, it is defiled, nothing is sacred. So, how can we be holy? Return to God and be set apart. Are you willing to return to God today? Set yourselves apart to God, calling it holy to the Lord. Your life is God's; everything you have is God's. Then you become holy. Very simple and direct, holy to the Lord. Everything not belonging to the Lord is defiled.

You come to Chinese Mingding Destiny, thinking you will gain glory in this place, a little light, perhaps receive healing and grace, which you will definitely receive. However, to be sanctified, to become holy, you must be set apart. If you do not dedicate yourselves to the Lord, to whom do you dedicate yourselves? To your business, your work, your boss, your husband, your wife, your small life? Can that make you holy?

Even touching something holy becomes defiled. So, is the standard high or not? High! Therefore, if you come among us wanting healing, and after receiving healing, you pat your backside and leave, I will never morally bind you. Leave quickly, because your goal is healing. If the illness returns, it has nothing to do with me.

Some say, I am going to stay here. Actually, you cannot stay here. Why? All we do is assign some homework, which is enough to exhaust you, in addition to God's shaking. Seeing that you receive twenty measures, but in the end, you only receive ten. God's curse! Are you an Israelite? Yes! Cursed? Cursed! Why? You have not dedicated yourselves to the Lord, so you receive a curse. What are you doing here? Staying here to be cursed.

You say you can touch a little grace here, leech a little benefit, but that is useless. This is the background of this scripture. When people begin to build the church, without even doing anything, their hearts are toward God, wanting to build a glorious church of God. From this day, God will bless you. From this day, I will bless you. Do you not want blessings? This is how you receive blessings.

I tell you, God begins by telling Zerubbabel: Be strong, Zerubbabel! Be strong! Be strong! Indeed, strength is needed. When we open our eyes and see the environment, I can remember how much strength was needed then. Today, it does not seem as necessary, but it is still needed. No fear is a lie. As a pastor, what is there to say if you stand on the platform and see only empty shadows? Do you not hope someone is sitting there? But I hope a group of people dedicated to the Lord are sitting there.

What is God's promise to us? God will fill us with His glory. Is it filled? It is filled; we are filled with God's glory. But is it enough? Not enough. The latter glory will be greater than the former. So, in our faith, we must be strong and not fear. God will manifest more of His glory among us. You say more glory, how much more glory can there be? I do not know. For what God gives us is what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has conceived.

If you ask me what I thought ten years ago and what I see today, what I see today is indeed what no eye had seen, no ear had heard, and no mind had conceived ten years ago. But looking ahead to the next ten years, what can we see? Some say, Teacher, we can see your hair turning white and your skin having more wrinkles. That is certain, but not important. What is important is more of God's glory, which our eyes have not seen and our minds have not conceived.

Many years ago, when I was praying, God gave me a revelation to mold our church's brothers and sisters into images of God's glory. I wondered how to do it. To mold them into praying Pharisees is not difficult, but to mold you all into someone like Abraham is a bit difficult. Abraham trained 318 servants very well. When Abraham took soldiers to battle, he would definitely win. How did Abraham get along with the locals? He became a prince of renown. How difficult is that! Look at us, writing things that make no sense and speaking in contradictions. I said, God, what should I do? God said, It does not matter. I will be with you. What is impossible with man is possible with God.

So, I thought there should be many practical trainings among us. You cannot become a Pharisee; you must become someone who loves God from the bottom of your heart, to the point of being crazy for God, but is also a down-to-earth person. I think this is really difficult and requires God's mercy. Therefore, we must know that this earth will be given peace and blessings because of God's glorious church. God will shake all nations, shake the heavens and the earth, and then bring treasures.

What is impossible with man is possible with God. According to human thinking, where does the money come from? You must have resources. Where do resources come from? It does not matter; I have already learned the lesson. God will provide. God will shake all nations, shake the heavens and the earth, and then bring treasures. Money is not the problem. Gold is not the problem; silver is not the problem. Only we individuals are the problem. Each of us must become a person of faith. Each of us must become the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob of this generation, setting ourselves apart and dedicating ourselves to God.

Everyone should come with a fervent heart to witness God's glorious church, to study diligently, and to know God's word. Sometimes I often criticize everyone for asking questions that make no sense. Why? Because what is in their minds is too chaotic. This is a church that builds God's glory, and here is a group who testify of God's glory. In this generation, what God promised Zerubbabel will be fulfilled in us. We will possess the gates of our enemies, and all nations and peoples on earth will be blessed through us, for they will see God's glory. Why? Because there is a group of people who firmly believe in God and zealously build God's glorious temple.

V. Witnessing God's glorious church is God's will

You must know for certain that the Old Testament points to the New Testament, and the theme of the New Testament is building God's glorious church. This is God's will. How do we build God's glorious church? According to God's will and God's revelation. If you do not build according to God's revelation, how can God's glory fill it? It is like decorating a house. If we do not decorate according to the homeowner's requirements but according to the decorator's own ideas, the homeowner will come in and say, This is not what I wanted. Will that not be a big problem? It will have to be torn down and rebuilt.

Therefore, we build the church today according to God's will. David built the temple, and Moses built the tabernacle, all according to God's revelation. Today we build the church in the same way. This is God's will! If we deviate from God's will and build according to our own ideas, I tell you, the probability of problems in the church will definitely be high. When God sees this place, it must be shaken, and this place needs more attention.

Christians are cursed for believing the wrong gospel, and they are cursed for preaching the wrong gospel. Do not be afraid when I say this. Why? Because we must return to God's will. Curses are not God's will; rescuing us from curses is God's will. But if we go our own way and act according to our own ideas, that is corruption. I do not want to delve deeper into this issue. Building God's glorious church is God's will; we do not need to discuss it further, for we have already discussed it enough.

VI. We are chosen by God to build His glorious church

We are chosen by God to build His glorious church. The key is do you believe it? You say you do not know if you really are, but you have to believe that you are. I believe I am chosen by God. If people do not believe, that is a matter of life and death. You say you are not good enough, but it does not matter; God can make you good enough.

When I was building the church in the early days, people asked me a question: Are you chosen by God? Why does this church not look very good? Look at that church. Their meeting place and stage are bigger than yours. The worship in that church is amazing, with brilliant lights and tens of thousands of people. Are you chosen by God? I tell you, this confused me. What confused me was that I was not sure if I was chosen by God. But what I say is based on faith. I just believe I am chosen by God. Regarding this question, I believe it is God's unwavering choice that has made everything today. This requires faith. I told them, Even if God has not chosen me, I still believe that one day in the future, God will choose me.

I just believe. By what do you believe? By nothing. By God's will. How much God wants to choose someone! How much God longs to find a faithful person in the world, and I am that person. After much selection, He finally found me. If one day God says to me, You are my chosen one! I will say, God, I know it! You do not need to look for anyone else; but if You find someone else, I am not jealous. One more person like me, a hundred more, ten thousand more, it does not matter. This generation needs a central figure. Later, I tell you, is choose to believe.

I do not know if it is because God chose me first that I believed, or if it is because I believed first that God chose me. I cannot figure it out, but it does not matter, because God really likes me. As long as you believe, no one can stop God from choosing you, because this generation needs more people like Zerubbabel, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There are plenty of positions in God's kingdom. Fewer people who love money, fewer people who only focus on personal enjoyment, and more people who build God's glorious church; God has plenty of roles. There is no unemployment in God's kingdom. We just choose to believe that we are chosen by God.

What will happen after God chooses us? When I chose to believe, the church was in an extremely desolate state. No matter how anyone looked at it, it did not seem like a good thing. How did Zerubbabel look at it when he stood in Jerusalem? No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like he could do the job. When Zerubbabel looked at that place of ruins, what should he do? When he looked at the amount of work, it was enormous enough. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like a task that could be completed.

VII. Be strong and do not be afraid

When you have faith and believe that you are chosen by God, God will work with you. As a result, I tell you, be strong and do not be afraid! That desolate environment needs faith to break free. What we see seems to have prepared a little bit of conditions, but these conditions are far from what we need to build a glorious church. There are no people, no money. There are no resources. We have nothing but a powerful enemy of devils.

Sometimes I feel a little disappointed. No matter what I do, some people just want to live a small life. Even after recovering from depression, they still want to live a small life. Is depression not depressing enough? My heart is cold. Later, I remind myself, be strong and do not be afraid! I serve many people, but my heart is cold because I can work day and night to serve them, but when it is time for them to serve, their business and work are their own matters. It does not matter if my heart is cold. God will shake the heavens and the earth. God will bring treasures.

You will be shaken, you will be drawn by God. If you have not been drawn enough, God will bring the wealth of all nations. Those who love God, wherever you are, perhaps in America, Canada, Europe, Australia, or Southeast Asia, it does not matter. God will shake this generation. God will bring you. You and I only met by chance. How you came among us is unknown, but everyone has their own story.

You need to be reshaped here. You will also become people who are strong and no longer afraid. If you are afraid of work, afraid of customers, afraid of your husband, afraid of everything, be strong from today. You have become a builder of God's glory church; you have become Zerubbabel; you have become Abraham. Then God says, Be strong and do not be afraid! You will find that nothing has collapsed and nothing will collapse.

VIII. God will shake the heavens and the earth again because of us

Do you think one shaking is enough? Not enough! God will shake again and again. Did God shake Israel enough? Enough! But did it produce many people? Very few. But today, there are few treasures, but God will shake the heavens and the earth. What cannot be shaken will remain forever, and what can be shaken will be shaken away. When you see God shaking the heavens and the earth, the opportunity has come!

When you see God shaking the heavens and the earth, shaking all nations, you may lament the economic crisis, war, protests in this place, marches in that place, and chaos in this place. Thank God, do not be afraid! For we have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken. With this glorious hope, our hope is not in this world. Our hope is in heaven. Our hope is in the mission and destiny of building a glorious church.

IX. God will bring treasures

Yesterday, I was still discussing with one of our colleagues that sometimes our thoughts have not turned around. When we see that there are no resources and no money. In fact, money is not the problem; faith is the problem! We are not short of money. Does everyone know today that what we are doing is a bit big? In the past, people built a house, and people came to the house to gather.

Today, we are building a virtual house on the Internet, but this requires very high-level technology. Where are the technicians? Those people are very expensive, but it does not matter; we have faith. Because it is not we who are doing it, but God. God will bring treasures. We are not short of money! Declare with faith that we are not short of money. Encourage ourselves. God will provide, for God is the God who cares for us, the God who provides for us, and the God who delights in us. God will fill His church with His glory. The church will certainly not be short of money. Gold is God's, silver is also God's, and God's temple will be filled with glory.

X. The latter glory will be greater than the former glory

Brothers and sisters, do you know that I have a very clear concept inside. If you ask me if the church that is established today is good, I will definitely say, Yes! Because many churches cannot compare at all. In the church world, it can basically be said that there are not many competitors, and it is not a competitive relationship. I will say that they are the ceiling of the church world, but God's ceiling is much higher than our ceiling.

Today, let us once again muster up the courage to see the future, to see what we have not thought of in our hearts today and what our eyes have not seen. We will use artificial intelligence. I want to train brothers and sisters in hearing, listening, reading, and writing and I want to train our brothers and sisters to have a deeper understanding of God's word. Sometimes I will say, How difficult this is! How many resources it will take! What we are doing today is what we have not thought of before, and what we will see in the future is what we have not thought of today. Artificial intelligence, pastoring, and enhancing everyone's ability to know God are simply wonderful. I am thinking that today's large language model of artificial intelligence is prepared for us by God.

You ask me how I know? I just believe. The latter glory will be greater than the former, and the glory of the future will be greater than the glory of today. The more distant future will be greater than the future. God's glory is endless. Those who come here will definitely become treasures in God's eyes. In this world, you will surely prosper like Abraham, and you will surely prosper like Isaac and Jacob. Because God is among us, shaping people to catch people like fish, not to gather people to gather, but to gather people to be shaped into God's glorious image. We will all become God's glorious image. Catch people like fish for God. This place is not a place to make money. I finally understood this recently, crossing a threshold of catching people like fish.

Time is gold, time is silver. We must become treasures, more valuable than money. Therefore, those of you who have received some grace among us, whose finances are constantly turning around, will see even greater turnarounds in the future. You will become someone who gains people, and pleases God, God's glory will be manifested in you and me.

Let us look forward to the glory of the future. As for what the future will be like, today we have seen God's glory. What we will see in the future is what we have not seen today, but with faith, it is amazing and wonderful! Let us begin to look forward to God giving peace and blessings in this land.

Those of you who come among us, you will see that we have the 101 Course, the 102 Course, the 103 Course, and later there will be the 104 Course, the 105 Course, the 110 Course, and the 120 Course, the 130 Course, etc. We will put some effort into this teaching! People who are lazy will definitely not do. People who are lazy will suffer in their illnesses. We will put effort into diseases, and effort to curing diseases.

If we walk out from laziness today, and put enough effort for God, God will give you a city, give you ten cities to manage. Wonderful! Before I end, let me say a few words to everyone. Two persons, a brother and a sister, has been found, I said, let us together develop a course called the Sales Personnel Training Course.

Then why do we do this? Because we
