Scripture

Good morning. Today, I will share on a very interesting and novel topic, The Temple of My God, Which My Heart Loves. This passage was written when David was old. David had a desire to build a temple for God, but God did not allow him to do so, letting his son Solomon build the temple for God. David loved the temple of God in his heart, and because his son was young, he accumulated many materials for him.

Moreover, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple: three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings, for gold to be used for gold articles and silver for silver articles, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?” (1 Chronicles 29:3-5)

Prayer

God, You still speak to us today. Lord, through this passage, You ask, Who is willing to consecrate themselves to God? Lord, You are seeking vessels that You can use in heaven and on earth. Lord, in the Bible, You constantly say that many kings followed after David, because David was a man after Your own heart. Today, let the minds and thoughts of our brothers and sisters imitate King David, to be a person after Your own heart. Let us, like David, willingly consecrate ourselves to You, to build Your glorious church in this end-time generation. Lord, arise us to build Your church according to Your heart, so that Your glory fills the whole earth, and the knowledge of You fills the ocean as the water covers the sea. Lord, our brothers and sisters are here today, and we all say to You: We are here, please use us! In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

The Temple of My God, Which My Heart Loves

Today, we are promoting the construction of God's temple, a brand new concept: building an internet church. Many years ago, I said that I wanted to be the Jack Ma of the church world. Today, we have achieved some success. Continuing to move forward and promote the building of God's glorious church, I want to push this internet church to a new height. Seeing the church filled with God's glory today, I am very grateful.

There was a brother who, although not wealthy, donated his only 30,000 yuan. In the video, I saw that his home was very dilapidated, with cement floors and a farmer's house. In fact, 30,000 yuan is not a small amount for him. After hearing this, I felt very grateful and very moved. This is my dream for many years, and today I see what God has accomplished among us, that there are so many people willing to donate. Especially my colleagues and brothers and sisters, who have taken out their savings to donate to God.

Seeing what God is doing among us today is truly beyond our requests and thoughts. If you listen to the testimonies among us, what we say is only a small part. In fact, many testimonies are not told because everyone feels they are too ordinary. In many churches, these small testimonies are not ordinary. For example, we have prayer every day from Monday to Friday, and many people are healed every day, not to mention the one-on-one service in private that heals people. I am very grateful.

God's glorious church is my dream for many years. Many years ago, I first tasted the goodness of the Lord, which was a very wonderful thing. When I was poor and down, I desperately needed a job. Later, I finally found a job. I didn't know that job was given to me by God.

Three months after starting the job, my boss invited the employees to his home for dinner. During the dinner, my boss walked up to me and said, You know, this job was given to you by God. He was a Christian, and he believed in the Lord a year earlier than me. I said I knew God gave it to me, but I wasn't very clear how God gave it to me. He said: Your resume was terrible, all very bad English.

At that time, my English was really bad. The boss said: I had a stack of resumes in front of me, with graduates from national universities, Imperial College, and many other good universities applying for this job, but I only had one spot. If I chose you, I couldn't choose others, and if I chose others, I couldn't choose you. Every morning, he would lay his hands on the resumes and say: God, give me a capable person! As a result, he heard a voice in his ear, which was my name.

He looked at my resume and said: God, are you kidding me? I want a capable person, how can this work! The next day, he arrived at the office very early. The first thing he did was to pray, and he laid his hands on the resumes again: God, give me a capable person. He heard a voice in his ear again, which was my name again. On the third day, he did the same thing, and on the third day, he heard a voice again, which was my name again.

When I heard this, I found it hard to believe. What kind of person was I, that God would care for me? In fact, I was really bad, and I really couldn't be considered a capable person. Because my English was not good, and my skills were not good either, but I went to work. He persuaded many people. The director of the human resources department disagreed, and his manager also felt that I was not reliable. He had no way to tell people that this was the voice he heard in prayer, so he reluctantly persuaded them.

Because at that time, Chinese people were not widely accepted in Singapore, he reluctantly gave me a one-year contract. When I arrived at his home, he told me this story, and I thanked him, that God would care for me.

In my heart, I deeply felt God's love. In fact, this matter shocked me very much, and I was also very grateful. I knew that I had found God and found reliance. So, when singing hymns in the church, I often shed tears, and sometimes I was embarrassed, afraid that the people next to me would see. Until today, it is still the same when singing hymns, and sometimes I choke.

Who am I, that God would care for me? Who am I, that I have the qualifications to be friends with God? From the day I believed in the Lord, I deeply fell in love with my God. He is everything to me, He is what I long for. So, there is a hymn called: All My Life, This hymn is also my prayer. I often say in my heart: God, may I not depart from You all my life, I want to dwell in Your temple often, to behold Your beauty forever. You are everything to me, You are the hope for me to live on.

Without God, I don't know how to live my life. The Lord is my light, the Lord is my salvation, the Lord is the defense of my life, whom shall I fear? From the day I believed in the Lord, my heart settled down. No matter what I encounter, my heart is extremely calm. I know that I have a God who loves me.

From the day I believed in the Lord, my heart settled down. No matter what I encounter, my heart is extremely calm! I know that only the God who loves me is my high tower. From that time on, I desperately read the Bible, and I longed for God and loved the temple of God. I deeply know that God is everything to me, and He gave me my life. I serve God in this way, never regretting it, because everything I have is given to me by Him.

I don't know how many disasters God has avoided for me. God has made me so smooth sailing all these years, and God has also greatly blessed me in the workplace. Although I listened to sermons in the church, I didn't know what the pastor was talking about. I participated in small groups, but I didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but I never missed a single one, because I love God's church and love God's temple.

If I didn't know what the pastor was talking about when he was preaching, I would read the Bible and write sermons below. Day after day, year after year, I wrote a lot of drafts, and I wrote many notes on my Bible. To say something arrogant, I think they don't preach as well as I do. At that time, I had an urge to build a glorious church for God.

My love for God has never diminished because the church is desolate. Instead, my love for God has grown day by day. Seeing the desolation of the spiritual environment of the church, I often have a strong urge in my heart. I say to God: God, come and use me, use me to build Your glorious church! From that time on, I felt that the church should be like Jesus. I went to study theology, attended special meetings, and went to Israel, but none of this could satisfy my heart. I longed to serve God, I longed to serve God so much, until one day I really didn't know which church to go to.

At that time, I was an ordinary believer in the local church. Every time I mentioned that I wanted to build a church, my wife disagreed, but when she encountered such a situation in the church, she also agreed. I really love my God and long to give everything I have for Him. I used to think that building a church was very simple, wasn't it just preaching on Sundays?

When I started building the church, I worked and served at the same time, and I found that it was not easy at all. In addition to work, I tried my best to serve everyone in need. Among us, there was a sister who suffered from depression and often wanted to jump off the building. If she needed me at noon, I would postpone the meeting and take her to pray. If she couldn't do it again in the evening, I would continue to serve her. The second day and the third day were the same.

Sometimes I would call my wife and say that I couldn't go back at night, and my wife would say that she didn't know when it would end. I would say that no matter what, I would release her. Because I love God, I often couldn't finish my work until midnight because of serving. I don't understand those believers who are unwilling to pay the price for God, and I often feel sorry for them. I know what a great grace it is to serve God!

I spent money and effort to serve God, but in exchange, I lost my high-paying job. At that time, I thought I was Job. I know that I have God, and nothing else is a problem. Later, I realized that I was not building the church according to God's word. I was very familiar with the Bible, and I had read the Bible many times. I did not do it in accordance with the Bible, so I repented and mustered up the courage to build God's glorious church again.

I led my brothers and sisters to pray together, read the Bible together, pay the price, and serve God wholeheartedly. When we see the church today, I am very grateful! God has really given me great grace! A sister came from Australia, and she suffered from a disease that was difficult to talk about. She came from Hillsong Church, which is a very famous church. She followed the recordings on our website to pray, and many of her diseases were healed. She felt that she had found a treasure.

She had attended many special meetings before, and a pastor, Cho Yonggi, said that she had been healed, but her illness had not improved. She was healed by listening on our website. Don't think that this is a gift, and don't think that we are a healing and deliverance church, because we have a group of brothers and sisters who love God and are willing to give, so the church releases God's glory and clearly sees God's presence.

Yesterday, one of my colleagues served until 6:00 in the morning. Just as he was about to go to sleep, the phone rang again. A sister was oppressed and needed to be served. He served until the morning. When I called him in the afternoon, he had not rested yet. Although they are all imitating me and serving at a price, I still feel sorry for him, so I scolded him severely and told him to seize the time to rest. God is looking for a group of people in heaven and on earth who are after His own heart, who love God and love the temple of God like David.

I used to be in management, and I was often troubled because I couldn't find talent, just like Liu Bang in those years. Although he became the emperor, he lamented Where can I get brave men to guard the four directions? Isn't our God like this in heaven? He is looking for people in heaven who are after His own heart like David, to build His glorious temple. In the Bible, people like David are rare. What are we?

What are we, this group of people? God is willing to use us! Our paying the price like this is our duty. Building God's glorious church in God's presence is such an important Mingding Destiny! What is better for a person to do in life than this? Looking back on the past, there are tears and sweat, and I am often grateful in my heart! God has chosen us!

When reading this passage, I feel very emotional! Because I love the temple of God in my heart, I will give all the gold and silver I have accumulated. Although God has not given me as much as David, who can donate 270 tons of gold, God does not look at how much or how little, God values our determination.

At that time, we needed to build a church. At that time, there were not many people, so I took out all my savings, leaving only three digits. As a result, I couldn't afford income tax that month, so I borrowed money to pay the income tax. All things come from the Lord, and we give to the Lord what comes from the Lord. This time, I once again took out a large amount of my savings to donate. I think what I am imitating is David. May God give me a determination, like David, to be after God's own heart, because everything I have comes from God.

This time, seeing everyone donating so willingly, I am really very emotional. God! What are we? You even give us such a determination and ability to donate. Today, I want to share with you the vision and goals of our church's development.

The Internet Church is God's Will

Everyone must know that the internet church is God's will. Many people don't understand and think that people in the internet church cannot see each other, so can it work? In fact, the internet church is indeed God's will. Once when I was praying, when the church was still very young, a earth appeared in front of me, just like I saw the earth in space. Then I saw the earth being lit up piece by piece, like the night scene of the earth, and the whole earth was being lit up.

I put this matter in my heart, and I asked God what this was about. God said that I want to use you to spread the gospel to the whole earth. I thought how is this possible? I looked around, and no matter how I looked, it didn't seem like it. But I put this matter in my heart. I knew that I couldn't do it. Later, once I invited a friend to dinner. During the dinner, a sister called me and said that her child was crying loudly and had been crying for three hours.

I thought I couldn't exorcise demons and pray while having dinner with my friend, it would be indecent. So I recorded a 20-second voice message and sent it to the sister. It was a very simple battle prayer. I commanded in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ: the evil spirit that caused the child to cry to retreat. As a result, five minutes later, the sister called and said that the child was well.

I was thinking, what happened? This is a revelation! A very wonderful revelation! I thought, is this more effective than me personally taking someone to pray? I guessed that the voice message in the phone could be played repeatedly and continuously. As long as the phone has power, it can persist one minute longer than the devil. As a result, the devil was really afraid and ran away after five minutes. This is really amazing!

So today, the recordings on our website heal many people. At that time, I thought that an internet church should be established, and that God's power should be transmitted to the prefecture level through the internet. Wherever there is internet, that is where we preach the gospel, that is where we release God's power, and that is where we free captive souls.

Later, I read a book by a very famous evangelist named Corrandi, who was a Canadian. This book described how he was seriously ill and lying in bed. Many famous charismatic pastors from the United States came to serve him, but they couldn't get him out of bed. After a few months of tossing, he was exhausted. One day, his son called him from Japan. He said, Dad, let me lead you in prayer. After a few words, he was able to get out of bed and walk, and he fully recovered.

Later, he wrote in his book: It turns out that even those with little faith can heal people. But this is not correct. He missed the meaning that God wanted to convey. The meaning that God wanted to convey was that God's power can be released through the internet. That was a revelation. The person who wrote the book didn't catch it, but I, the person who read the book, caught it. Later, I was determined to establish an internet church. This is God's will in this generation.

Later, I went to the Bible to find answers. It turned out that the first to launch remote ministry was not me, but Jesus and the Apostle Paul. The Apostle Paul wrote letters in prison and sent them out, preaching in various churches. Many people were edified at that time. Until today, we still read the letters of the Apostle Paul, who are the ancestors of remote service. In fact, the Apostle Paul was not the first to serve remotely. The earliest remote service was Jesus.

How did Jesus do it? Jesus was walking to the centurion's house, but the centurion sent someone to say: Lord! You don't need to come to my house. You only need to issue a command there, and the problem can be solved through the air, because in your mouth and in your hands there is authority. As a result, Jesus said a word, and the centurion's servant was healed, without needing to enter his house at all, and without needing to squeeze into the crowd to touch Jesus. In fact, Jesus only said a word, and something would happen in that place.

It turns out that the concept of remote service was launched in the Bible a long time ago. If the Apostle Paul were still alive today, he would definitely use WeChat, he would not use letters. So God's word is written in the Bible. The earliest Bible was written by Moses 3,500 years ago. Today, we read the Bible written by Moses 3,500 years ago, and it still releases God's power. The words that Jesus said 2,000 years ago still release power among us. The letters of the Apostle Paul still release power to this day. It not only transcends space, but also transcends time.

So today, brothers and sisters, if Paul were still alive, he would definitely use the internet. The internet is just a tool, but God's power, whether through the words printed on paper, or through the words on the internet, or through the recordings on the website, still releases God's power.

Brothers and sisters, don't be rigid anymore, you must know that this is not the first time we have done this. Isn't the internet church God's will? Because God's word is transmitted through the internet in the same way. The internet is just a tool. The essence of the church can be transmitted through any tool, any method, whether it is printed on paper or transmitted through the internet. God's word still has power. Today, the internet church is God's temple, and the physical church is also God's temple, but the internet church can transcend time and space. Therefore, the internet church is God's will.

The Essence of the Church

What is the essence of the church? The essence of the church is love. Actually, sometimes what I say makes many people think I am criticizing others. No, I am merely stating a fact. Many churches today have lost the presence of God. How do we know they have lost the presence of God? Because they have lost the power of God, and many problems cannot be solved. What causes the church to lose the power of God? It is because there is a lack of God's love in the church.

Everyone must know that God dwells in our loving relationships. I don't need to quote the Gospel of John to you today. If you have time, you can read it yourself. I have written a book, a Bible study on the Gospel of John, which you can read. Love means paying a price. What does the Gospel of John say? If we love one another, God dwells in us. Therefore, the church should be a place where brothers and sisters love one another. Today, looking around, the church lacks this very essence.

Love means paying a price; it is not just a superficial thing. In churches, this often happens. Please turn to your left and say, The church loves you, Jesus loves you, and I love you. Then please turn to your right and say, The church loves you, Jesus loves you, and I love you. It's all just lip service! When that person really has problems, is sick, or has needs, you realize it was just hot air.

Does God not know that these people are just paying lip service? He knows perfectly well. Therefore, the church today often does not solve problems, but merely worships God with words, lacking the essence of the church. God cannot dwell among people. But if the essence of the church is love, can't love be transmitted through the internet? If someone is demon-possessed, and we serve them day and night, that is love.

Some time ago, a brother came to see me. When I drove to pick him up, I saw him from afar holding a box of fruit. I could not even lift that box, but he ran towards me with it, put the fruit in the trunk, and sat in the back seat. He held my hand, and his voice was a little choked. Actually, I had ministered to him for two years, and we had never met. Both our eyes were filled with tears.

What had happened in the past? A few years ago, he went blind, which was a very cruel thing. It is very difficult to be blind. If you don't believe me, try covering your eyes for a few days. Because of our ministry, his eyes could see again. During the recovery process, he could see letters the size of an egg, and later letters the size of a peanut. I was very moved when I saw his notes! His eyes were completely healed, and both our eyes were filled with tears.

Why? Although we met through the internet, he contacted me online, and I contacted him online. Allowing his eyes to see, our relationship is really very strong. He stayed with me for a few days, and we were very happy together during those days. This is a loving relationship. Actually, his income is not very high, but he donated a lot of money for this building project. He is also a person who loves God.

What moved me was that a woman in her nineties also donated tens of thousands of dollars because she knew she had received love in this church. This is a church that loves God, a place where God is present. She came in a wheelchair and can now walk freely, plant flowers and grass, cook, and take care of herself. She is now living a healthier life. You know what a great blessing it is for a ninety-year-old woman who has been in a wheelchair for ten years to be able to walk freely! When she came, her feet were swollen terribly, but now her feet are completely unswollen and back to normal. Her old shoes were three sizes bigger than what she wears now. She has already thrown away the big shoes and put on normal shoes. This is the Church of God. The essence of the church is the love of God!

Why do I love healing and deliverance so much? It is not because I have this gift, but because of the love of God. Seeing brothers and sisters oppressed by demons and tormented by diseases, shouldn't we proclaim God's promises, that by Jesus' stripes, we are healed? Recently, someone left a message online: Paul had a thorn in his flesh, and Timothy had stomach problems, so not everyone is healed because these two people were sick. This is a wrong theology. The wrong theology is to use various phenomena, such as Paul, Timothy, and Song Shangjie, to deny God's promises. For example, Song Shangjie had hemorrhoids and died of bleeding, so they say God no longer heals.

Actually, no matter how many people are sick, it cannot deny that by Jesus' stripes, we are all healed. This is God's promise. We should not use people's experiences to deny God's promises. We don't need to explain these things. What's the point of explaining? Does the fact that these people are sick deny God's promises? Does the fact that there are only a few people in this world who love God's house like David deny God's promises?

The essence of the church is love. The Bible says if two or three are gathered in Jesus' name, why not twenty or thirty thousand? Because two or three people can love each other, but twenty or thirty thousand people cannot love each other. How can twenty or thirty thousand people love each other? In the end, it's still just two or three people. Therefore, in our church, there is one-on-one, two-on-one, or one-on-two ministry. We do not seek empty fame, nor do we pursue numbers, because numbers do not explain anything. The Bible does not say that numbers are the essence of the church; the essence is love.

David also knew that he deeply loved the house of God because the house of God is a place where God is present. David deeply knew that everything for a country and a nation depends on God. Only with the presence of God are all things not a problem. David's life was very hard. From a young age, his brothers were officials before Saul, and David went to herd cattle and sheep. His family looked down on David; no one took David seriously. David started off losing at the starting line. But David had a heart that loved God, and in the end, he won at the finish line. David had a heart to pay the price, so he won at the finish line.

David paid the price. He offered real gold and silver. Don't think that David left anything for himself. All the money he saved was for the house of God. Actually, David was not short of money at all. Where did two hundred and seventy tons of gold come from? How did David save so much gold? Many countries today do not have two hundred and seventy tons of gold. David offered all this gold and five hundred tons of silver as a sacrifice to God because he knew that all this was given by God. He said that wealth, honor, and strength all depend on God. His life was given by God, so he said in the Psalms that he would dwell in the house of God all his life. He pursued the presence of God, and he loved God, paying an extremely heavy price. Then he said, Who then is willing to consecrate themselves today to the LORD?

Originally, the church is the temple of God, and the essence of the temple of God is love. Therefore, we love God, loving God with all our heart and all our strength, and then loving our neighbors as ourselves. We are building a glorious church of God. Why do we see such a strong presence of God? Because we are building a church that loves one another. Many people come to visit us, and they see that the most incredible thing about us is our love for God and our unity, which far exceeds what I have seen in other churches.

Later, the temple built by David and Solomon was torn down. Actually, this temple is not what God cares about. What He cares about is the loving relationship among the people in the temple. If a person only loves himself and does not care about God's temple and God's people, what is this temple worth? Even if it's gold and silver, what is it worth? Later, the temple was destroyed, and the King of Babylon took the gold and silver vessels to Babylon. The reason this temple was destroyed was because people no longer loved God and only cared about themselves.

Therefore, the Book of Haggai records that those who returned from Babylon and the Persian Empire to build the temple said that the time to build the temple had not yet come. So everyone was busy with their own houses, and as a result, God cursed them. Today, if you want to see God's blessing, it's like what you see today, or we want to see even greater glory.

Today, offering ourselves to build God's glorious temple, to build God's glorious church, you will surely see that among us, God's blessings will continue to manifest. In Haggai's time, when people did not build God's temple, what was the result? In the field, they expected to harvest ten measures of grain, but when they harvested it, they only had five measures. Where did the remaining five measures go? They were blown away by God. Later, when they used it, the five measures were only left with two measures. Where did the other three measures go?

Are there such people among us who always feel that there is less money in their accounts? Do you know why? Because in your heart there is only your own house, not the house of God. In your heart, you are only thinking about buying your own house, and building the house of God is your last priority. Therefore, those who have a heart that loves God, who love the house of God, who love the church of God, and who are willing to give generously, such people will never lack money in their lifetime.

The online church is nothing else. The online church does not sacrifice the essence of God's temple, which is love. Even if a person is standing next to you, if you are not willing to pay the price to serve them, what is the benefit? Even if we are separated by thousands of miles, we can still pay the price, spend time serving each other through the internet, and edify each other's lives, releasing the love of God. Although the brothers and sisters on both ends of the internet are separated by thousands of miles, can they be separated from the love of God? No!

Actually, I really want to have the opportunity to visit everyone and strengthen you with my team. Because we often minister to each other online, we are not strangers when we meet! We are so familiar with each other online that when we meet, we are like old friends, very familiar. This is the characteristic of this era. I think that Christians of all ages can hardly imagine that today we have such good tools that can allow us to break through all the limitations of time and space.

The Vision of the Online Church

Actually, building God's church online does not sacrifice the essence of the church at all. We edify people through the Word of God and serve people through the Word of God. Therefore, in my heart, there is a vision of a glorious church. In the past few years, I was still worried about whether this was God's will. Later, I confirmed that this is God's will!

The online church has a characteristic: wherever there is the internet, that is our mission field; wherever there is the internet, that is where we harvest God's crops; wherever there is the internet, that place can release God's power and release God's glory.

In my heart, there is a strong dream: that everyone in our church is a missionary; that each of us is a disciple of Jesus Christ who pays the price; that we are all people who love God, people who love the church, and people who shepherd. Each of us must receive the best training, and each of us can receive personalized shepherding and training. How can we achieve this goal? The only way is to develop artificial intelligence and supporting software, with synchronous gatherings and asynchronous training, to cooperate with the next stage of the church's development. This is the online church we want to build.

Our church has artificial intelligence. The model for this artificial intelligence is that everyone has a shepherding file. The shepherding file can clearly know what a person's shepherding needs are, what their training is for the next stage, and what their growth points are for the next stage. Without these artificial intelligence software, there is no way to improve the efficiency of service.

We are not like traditional churches, which throw a missionary somewhere and occasionally buy them a plane ticket to see them. The rest of the time, they are on their own. But our church is a church where God is present, a church that transmits God's love. This is not just a church, it is God's army, and it is also a university, a place to train people. I want the glory of God, the knowledge of God, to fill the ocean like seawater.

Many of our brothers and sisters can see the presence of God when they look for jobs outside. These two days, a sister went to an interview, and she found a job with a salary of more than 20,000 yuan from a salary of several thousand yuan. Everything she learned was learned in the church, but the question is whether we are people who love God; whether we love the house of God. Because she was able to find a job, it wasn't just the training in the church, but also the presence of God in the church. So when she found a job, we rejoiced with her because it was God's wonderful work. This is God's will in this era.

How wonderful it is when a person makes a phone call and someone immediately ministers to them! If a person becomes seriously ill at home, with no internet and no phone, only the church, do we send this person to the church? Especially during the epidemic, it is even more impossible to send them. But through the internet among us, I think our customer service can really surpass the customer service of many churches. Not only surpassing the customer service of the church, but also surpassing the customer service of many enterprises. This is our idea. This is why we develop a lot of software to cooperate with the ministry of the church, so that the ministry of the church is even more powerful.

I think in the future, our shepherding robots, or our healing and deliverance robots, their ministry will surpass many existing pastors. This is not strange, because behind these robots is the Word of God being transmitted, the power of God being transmitted. Our pastors used to minister to dozens of people, but in the future, they can minister to hundreds of people.

Participating in Building God's Glorious Church is Our Greatest Grace

God is the God who examines people's hearts. God examines people's hearts! I think what we are doing is in accordance with God's will. What do we hope to do? To serve this era, so that this era can see the glory of God. How many people in this era are waiting to be released under the oppression of the devil? They are suffering there because the church has no power.

Today, if we can build God's church, release the captives and release the oppressed through the internet, so that this era can see the glory of God, how wonderful that would be! That is in accordance with God's will. So today, brothers and sisters begin to know what we are, what our people are, that we can give so much? Isn't this all given by God? Which of these is earned by our ability? Which of these things is our own? What's more, we are just shadows in this world. Know that our lives are not long. Know that if we want to do something in this life, it is to build God's glorious church.

We are nothing. All that we have comes from God. Today, with an upright heart, offer all this to God, just as David said: Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand. We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. (cf. 1 Chronicles 29:12-15)

God, today, we ask you to examine our hearts, and let our hearts be pleasing and upright. Let us be able to offer everything willingly with an upright heart, and also to be a person who pleases God. May God give us this heart to make unprecedented new attempts, to build an online church full of God's glory! God is the God who does new things. God is not old-fashioned. Even if the Apostle Paul were alive, he would use technology to make the knowledge of God fill the ocean like seawater!

God is looking for vessels that can be used. God is looking for the David of this era. God is looking for those who love to build God's glorious church in this era; God is looking for those who love the house of God like David. When He finds them, God will raise them up, let them be honored, and let them become great and strong.

Today, brothers and sisters begin to rise up and begin to tell God with this heart: I am the one! I am the David of this era. I am the one who loves your house in this era. God, let us have an upright heart, let us be able to love you; let us know that before you, we are foreigners and strangers, and that we are just shadows in this world. Let us know that we need you! Let us have this heart to know that building your temple, building your glorious church is a great grace!

Today, let us have this heart to offer ourselves as a holy, acceptable, and pleasing people. May your glory be manifested among us, and may your glory spread throughout the earth through us. This is our desire, this is our cry. God, may you answer us!

Summary

Lord Jesus, I am willing to imitate David to be a person who is pleasing to you and to do what is right in your eyes. Let me participate in building your glorious church in this era. May your glory fill the whole earth, and may I have a share in the release of your glory. May you accept my offering! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

May God bless everyone!
