Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing! Do you desire these wonderful things to manifest in your life? Of course! We all wish to experience these blessings while we are alive.

If you possess these, would they resolve all the problems in your life? But do you know where these originate? Today, we have the authority to trample upon all these dark forces. We must understand that our authority belongs to the Almighty in the spiritual realm! It does not come from ourselves, but from God!

Thank God! Today, in building a victorious church, we are manifesting God's authority, riches, wisdom, power, honor, and glory! We represent God in exercising dominion on earth. We must know with certainty that we are a royal priesthood, a holy nation! We are in union with the Lord Jesus! We shall unveil the seven seals together with the Lord Jesus!

Introduction

The faith in Christ Jesus is a faith of revelation. God will surely reveal His mysteries to us. When reading the Bible, do not engage in mere wordplay. Grasp the most important aspect first, then the second most important. You must discern God's intention. Why would God allow us to understand the words but not His intent? It is because He wants us to seek Him. God delights in those who seek Him. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. This is what God has said.

After a week of arduous and continuous seeking, I have finally understood what God wants to convey to us in Chapter 5. Once I understood God's meaning, reading the chapter became very comfortable. If something is done correctly, it brings a sense of comfort. Therefore, when completing tasks assigned to us by others, if we feel discomfort, it means we have not done it right. We must persist until it feels comfortable.

When reading the Bible, we must also read it smoothly. If it is stumbling and halting, it means we have not done it right. The theme we grasp from the Bible must relate to our current lives. If we only read about meeting the twenty-four elders after death, that is not what we seek. What we desire is to see with our own eyes, while we are alive, God restoring His authority, riches, wisdom, power, honor, and glory on earth!

What a wonderful thing it is! Our God is the God of the living, not a God who wants us to go to heaven to see Him after death, but a God who wants us to see Him while we are alive. Therefore, the theme of this chapter is God Will Restore His Authority, Riches, Wisdom, Power, Honor, and Glory on Earth!

What a wonderful topic! Indeed, are these not the very things we lack today? Think carefully. Are the problems we face today not due to a lack of authority? Is it not due to a lack of riches? Is it not due to a lack of wisdom and power? Is it not due to a lack of honor, a lack of glory, and, more importantly, a lack of praise? The answer is a resounding yes!

If our God were to sit on the throne and observe what we are doing, He would surely be anxious for us. Because all the problems we face today lie in these very things. If we receive authority today and command the evil spirits to depart, they will depart, and all problems will vanish. If we obtain the riches of God's kingdom, then problems such as poverty and debt will be resolved.

The Victorious Jesus and the Victorious Church

The key lies in victory. Life is very difficult today. When one falls ill and goes to the hospital, one must not only make an appointment in advance but also spend money. Even when undergoing surgery, one worries about whether the doctor will perform it well, anxiously offering a bribe. If the doctor refuses the bribe, it becomes even more stressful, truly suffering from both ends. There are also financial problems, children's education, marriage issues, and so on, all troubling us. What we need most today is to restore God's authority, riches, wisdom, power, honor, and glory on earth. God is helping us solve all these problems.

Only the Lamb of God is worthy to open the seven seals. Why did old John weep when he saw the seven seals? It was because no one was worthy to open them. Because human history has no way to restore God's honor, glory, and praise. Only the slain Lamb is worthy to open the scroll, to open the seven seals, and to completely solve all the problems facing humanity.

What good news this is! Our Lord Jesus became flesh and came into the world, then was killed, resurrected from the dead, ascended to heaven, and sat at the right hand of the Father. He is worthy to open the seven seals, to open the history of the end of mankind. This is God's intention to restore His honor, glory, and praise on earth.

For the demons, their world is about to be completely destroyed. But for us, the people of God, the kingdom of God is coming, and all the good things of God's kingdom are about to descend upon us. God became flesh and came into this world, becoming the incarnate Jesus Christ. He is both man and God. He represents our victory and our restoration of human honor, glory, and praise. Therefore, building a victorious church is such a wonderful thing!

If one has the opportunity in life, one must participate in God's most important project: building a victorious church. Jesus Christ is the head of the church, and the church is the body of Jesus Christ. We are in union with Jesus Christ. Wherever we are, the kingdom of God is, and all the goodness of God's kingdom will descend upon us.

God's Authority to Be Restored to the Redeemed People

What are we redeemed to do? The Bible says this: The saints sang a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth. This is good!

Going to heaven, I think it's a bit mystical, because I've never been there. Although Paul has been there, he does not tell us about it. In fact, God wants us to be priests and to reign on the earth, that is, authority to be restored, God's authority to be restored to us, the people of God. We are priests, and priests are those who touch the throne of God with their hands and stand on the earth to represent God.

What kind of people did God buy? There is a passage in the Bible that says: The kingdom of heaven is like a pearl, our Lord Jesus shed His precious blood and paid the price to buy us back. What is a treasure? The righteous will live by faith. What the Lord Jesus buys are people with faith. People with faith will be seen as treasures in God's eyes. Faith is a choice, it cannot be reasoned, once reasoned it becomes chaotic. Those who believe will be accompanied by signs and wonders. Because God's authority is upon us, the power of darkness will surely retreat. We are to be priests and represent God in exercising dominion on earth.

Who do we represent in exercising dominion on earth today? Our authority belongs to the Almighty in the spiritual realm. Once, Jesus went to the house of a centurion to heal his servant. The centurion said, You don't need to come to my house, for I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. As a result, the Lord Jesus commanded, and the centurion's servant was healed. This transcends time and space. The kind of church we build every day transcends time and space.

Do you understand? Maybe on the other side of the earth, maybe in Canada, Malaysia, maybe in Australia, maybe in England or in Europe. What do I compare with people every day? Not ability, not morality, what we compare with people is authority. Why are there so many signs and wonders manifested among us? Because we are building a victorious church. It is not about what you say, it is about what you do. What is done counts. Manifesting God's power, God's glory, riches, wisdom, and honor.

The Spirit of God is Moving Throughout the Earth

Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. (Revelation 5:6)!

That is, the Spirit of God is sent out. Not one, but seven. With seven horns and seven eyes; the Holy Spirit will move throughout the earth, going out into all the earth. In the last days, we will see the Spirit of God moving throughout the earth. manifesting His power throughout the earth! Seven horns, horns represent authority. Authority is closely related to vision; the Spirit of God has seven horns, seven eyes, and the four living creatures are covered with eyes all over. The eyes are the windows of the soul!

God values the concept of authority very much. We must obtain the filling of the Holy Spirit, and then God's authority and power will be restored in us. The seven horns of God are the seven spirits of God; the seven eyes are also the seven spirits of God. The Spirit of God moves in us, surpassing the movement in the early church.

The early church was through the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, on Peter and the one hundred and twenty disciples he led. The one hundred and twenty disciples prayed desperately together, and after a few days, the Holy Spirit descended on the day of Pentecost. They began to pray in tongues extensively. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just pray in tongues. This is the most representative work of God. At that time, the Apostle Paul had not yet believed, and the First Corinthians did not yet exist, nor was there any interpretation of tongues.

The Holy Spirit wants to move in the early church, how it begins, so also it ends. The early church began with the descent of the Holy Spirit, and it is the same in the last church. It begins with the restoration of God's authority and power. Therefore, the glory of the latter will be greater than the glory of the former.

The temple built by Zerubbabel will be greater than the temple built by Solomon. The temple built by Solomon cannot be compared with the temple built by Zerubbabel. But from the human perspective, the temple built by Solomon is more glorious than the temple built by Zerubbabel. But in God's eyes, in adversity, the temple built by Zerubbabel and Joshua the High Priest, although there is less gold, it doesn't matter, in God's eyes, it is more glorious than before.

God will open the seven seals in the last church; the Lamb of God—our Jesus Christ will open the seven seals. We will open the seven seals together with the Lord Jesus! This is an extremely glorious destiny. The history of mankind should move forward because of our prayers. We should be grateful to live in an extremely glorious generation. We, as Chinese, in this generation, can see God's glory filling the whole earth. We can see God raising up the Chinese, and bringing God's glory to the whole world. That is an incomparably wonderful thing!

God's Spirit gives us spiritual eyes.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:12-23)!

God's Spirit is moving among us. Let us continue to pray in tongues extensively, continue to pray in the Holy Spirit, and we will surely see the Spirit of God moving more powerfully. This is God's work in the last church! God will do greater and more wonderful things in the last church. Let us open our spiritual eyes, deal with the eyes of the world, the eyes of the flesh, and deal with short-sighted situations.

We must see the situation in Revelation until forever! If you can see the situation in eternity, then you have the Spirit of God. If you have the Spirit of God, your eyes will be changed; it is extremely sad if you do not have the Spirit of God. Open your spiritual eyes and see that God has a rich and glorious destiny in the Chinese.

Thank God for constantly doing the work of revelation among us. No church is like us in studying Revelation, which is the result of the Spirit of God constantly revealing to us in the last generation. Our Lord Jesus redeemed us with His blood, paying an extremely heavy price. Therefore, we can enter into His riches, wisdom, power, honor, and glory, and even allow us to directly share His glory!

Serving God at the Cost of Life

What our Lord did, we must also do. And we must do even greater things than the Lord! We often say that the Lord Jesus healed the sick and cast out demons, and we must do that too; the Lord Jesus preached the word of God, and we must do that too. All this is good! But the Lord Jesus did one more thing, which was to nail Himself to the cross and completely dedicate Himself to God. Are you willing to pay the price of your life to serve God in this way? If you are willing to completely dedicate yourself on earth, you are a person worthy of authority, wealth, wisdom, power, honour, glory, and praise. You will gain authority on earth and manifest God's glory. Let the effectiveness of our service and the fruit of our labour follow us forever and ever.

Deal with the fleshly and worldly perspectives, and thoroughly destroy the carnal and worldly logic systems! Truly regard everything as dung, only gaining Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure. If you are truly willing, wonderful things will happen. In heaven and on earth, even the angels will tell the story of our victory. What a victory! Even in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all created things in the universe will say, To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honour, glory, and power forever and ever! The four living creatures said, Amen, and the elders fell down and worshiped.

The story of our victory on earth today is that if what we do is the same as what the Lord Jesus did, thoroughly dealing with our carnal bad habits on earth, and starting to build a victorious church to manifest God's glory. Our story will be told in heaven and on earth. It is said that even all created things in the universe, including those under the earth, in the sea, even the demons in hell, and all created things, will envy us.

The devil says it also wants to believe in Jesus and be saved, but it has no opportunity! The devil calls us servants of God and calls itself a demon. The devil is really pitiful, and there is nothing to redeem them. But what a great grace it is that we can be redeemed today! Today on earth, we must value our position as a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people belonging to God. If we do not know this, some people may say that this is for the Lord Jesus and has nothing to do with them, which is really a sad thing.

We are in a Unified Relationship with the Lord Jesus

To know for sure that the Lord Jesus is the head and the church is the body, we are His glorious church and are in a unified relationship with Him. This is extraordinary! If someone says, Don't steal God's glory, their theological concept is separate from the Lord Jesus'. But we are with God to manifest His glory!

We represent God to exercise kingship on earth; we open the seven seals with the Lord Jesus, and we will build a victorious church in this last history, in a critical generation, and then open the seven seals! Throughout the ages, there have been victorious churches. All the prayers of the saints must reach God's presence, and then the seven seals will be opened!

We must understand that to build a victorious church is to be a church that prays together! Our minds must be unified with Jesus Christ, our value system must be unified with Jesus Christ, and our service must be unified with Jesus Christ. We love the Lord, and we trust Him alone. Those who love God will not be tired of serving God.

Although sometimes we feel tired, hard, and uncomfortable. When we have this feeling, we remember the Lord who loves us, and we also love Him, and these don’t matter. This momentary and light suffering will achieve an exceedingly heavy and eternal glory. Even if we encounter all kinds of difficulties, I know that God has the answer. God prepared the answer for us from the beginning of the creation of the world; God chose us before the foundation of the world and regarded us as treasures. He redeemed us with the precious blood of His Son Jesus Christ. What a great grace! This is not what we deserve, but it is the grace that God really wants to give us.

We are inspired by God's love, and God's love makes us mad. Until today, we are willing to serve my Lord and my God in this way, no matter how tired we are! But thank God! We serve by faith, we rest by faith, and we run forward by faith! We also rest in the Lord Jesus by faith. So, we are so unified with the Lord Jesus. May those of our brothers and sisters who are still carnal and have the worldly eyes of this life begin to deal with them vigorously.

Summary

Let us see the glory and power of God constantly manifested among us in this world; may we constantly see the glory of God, the power of God, the honour and riches, wisdom, and power of God manifested among us in this world. This is what we want to see! God said so in Revelation, and God also said so in Ephesians. The Lord Jesus has become the head of all things for the church, and we trample all things under our feet. What a great grace! We really need to have spiritual vision to see our office and what abundant glory we have in the Lord Jesus! God bless you all! Amen!
