Introduction

Good day, everyone! We will be studying Proverbs chapter 29. This chapter speaks of a fundamental problem of man, which is stubbornness. How does a person become foolish? How does one become corrupt? It is because of stubbornness. How does a person become wise? It is by softening the neck a little. Looking around us, can a stubborn person become talented? Almost never. Stubborn people are very interesting; it is obvious that 3*8=23 is wrong, yet they insist and argue. Sometimes, you can really be worn down by such people, running out of energy. Some might say, can someone really drain you of energy? Actually, I drain my own energy; I avoid such situations. Anyone can be ministered to, but those who are stubborn are truly impossible to minister to.

In the Bible, there was a very powerful prophet named Samuel. After he separated from Saul, he never saw Saul again until his death. Samuel was saddened because he saw that Saul was a stubborn man. One of our brothers had a father whom I met. He was particularly stubborn. His father was driving with a GPS and came to the seaside only to find there was no road. He thought he had been to this place yesterday and there was a bridge, but today, how could there be no bridge? Who removed the bridge? In reality, he had been misdirected, but he simply would not admit that he had made a mistake. So, stubborn people are really very interesting!

Many people rarely admit they are wrong in their entire lives; you can count those times on one or two fingers. Speaking of such matters, I am truly impressed. Over the years, how many people have I tried to correct? Meaning, to soften their stubborn necks. I have succeeded with a few, but the success rate is very low. Why? Because some people would not allow me to correct them. Those who allowed me to correct them have been corrected, but those who did not allow me, I could not. In my ministry, I have discovered something very interesting: no matter how foolish or terrible a person is, failing to get into university, not doing well in secondary school, goofing off in school, and failing to find a job, their ability to be stubborn and self-righteous is first-rate.

Some say I am very clever, but actually, my intelligence is about the same as everyone else's. Do you think I am lying? Absolutely not. Through research, I have found that people's IQs are about the same, but the degree of self-righteousness and stubbornness varies greatly. In modern terms, computers have sixteen cores and thirty-two threads. For CPUs, there are first-generation and second-generation. Recently, I discovered something very interesting: The force of each core in my fourth-generation CPU is about the same as that of a twelfth-generation, tenth-generation, or seventh-generation CPU. The manufacturer is amazing! So, I applied this model to the human brain.

God created people five thousand years ago, three thousand years ago, one thousand years ago, and this year. The CPUs of these people are about the same; the human brain is about the same. But the neck is remarkable. If you are stubborn, the hardness of the neck varies. The degree of hardness of the neck indicates the flexibility of the mind. A good neck allows the head to turn around, very flexible! A bad neck makes the head inflexible, like a zombie. Actually, do you think there are many things you have done wrong? I think the times I have not done things right are the most.

In the profession of preachers, something very interesting happens. Someone might say, Pastor, you have your way of doing things; I cannot say you are wrong, but you cannot say I am wrong either. There is no point in discussing this further; we might as well drop it! In the process of ministering to people, preachers are the most difficult to minister to; you cannot say they are wrong. Look at how I do things compared to how they do things; the results are completely different. The biggest difference is whether God is with you. If you think you are doing everything right, what do you need God for? Then you don't need God. Usually, the people I minister to think they are not wrong; they would rather say someone else removed the bridge than admit they went the wrong way. This is definitely a first-class neck!

Actually, I have corrected a few people, and the results were not bad. How do you correct them? By making them realize they were not doing things right. Once, they realize they were wrong, and then again, they realize they were wrong. Banging their heads against the wall or the ground is useless. After I correct them, they are very good! Now they are soft and admit that they were not doing things right in the past. What is the hardest thing in the world? What diamond, porcelain, duck's beak, diamond – diamond is the hardest thing; it is simply a diamond-grade neck. It can withstand anything.

Once, while I was ministering, another sister, seeing that the problem had not yet been resolved, said to me, Teacher, is it that she feels she is not good enough? Should we build up her confidence? I said, That's not the case, because she thinks she is very capable. She thinks she is not wrong; we are the ones who are wrong. We are doing her wrong. Brothers and sisters, let's talk about this: If I think I have wronged you, will I lose my temper with you? If you think you have wronged me, will you lose your temper with me? Why does temper flare up? Because one thinks one is right. If people often think they are wrong, then it is easy to handle. People say I am very clever; I say my neck is a rubber neck, so it is very flexible. I always feel that I have not done things right and always want to explore.

I tell everyone: What was done right in the past needs to be upgraded today; what was done wrong in the past needs to be improved today, so my neck is made of rubber. In the past, my father used a belt to beat me; that was good for me because he immediately got me into a famous university. Although my father has been gone for decades, I am still very grateful to him! My father did not actually beat me often, because as soon as he spoke to me, I would quickly change, not only saying I would change but truly changing in my bones.

Do not be stubborn in the company or at home. I just want to say: What kind of brain is this? I dare not say it to their face because it would hurt them, so I silently say: What kind of brain is this? Sometimes, after the ministry is over, I shake my head without saying much, and the person next to me will tacitly say: What kind of brain is this! Today we need to change to saying: What kind of neck is this? Why is it so hard?

Sorting Things Out One by One

Listen carefully to my exposition of Proverbs and change your diamond necks, no matter how valuable, into rubber necks. Our faith should be like a diamond, but our necks should be like rubber bands, flexible and elastic, so that our minds will be agile, because a diamond neck cannot be agile. We must understand this. A stubborn person is incurable; no method works on such a person! We must cultivate the good habit of understanding things one by one, understanding how things really are. Recently, I have had a strong conviction to understand things one by one. For example, learning mathematics means understanding each mathematical formula; learning programming means understanding each line of code. From the path I have walked in the past, I have discovered that I like to understand things.

Recently, I have also discovered a mystery: If people do not understand things one by one, then that thing or this thing will turn around and bully you. For example, if you understand computers, then the computer will not cause trouble in your hands. But if another person does not understand computers, then they will run to me for help because the computer will cause trouble in their hands in no time. I say: How is this computer bullying you? Have you noticed that if you do not do something right, understand it clearly, it will come and bully you, just like this computer?

Some time ago, I was working on a large pile of computer servers. People stood under the air conditioner for a long time, and it made my body shiver. That thing was bullying me! At home, the computers were running fine, but as soon as I moved them to the site, the computers would not run! I moved them back and forth; it was either this problem or that problem. I thought: You little thing, you dare to bully me! I think you are asking for death! I don't believe it! Then I stayed up late today, stayed up late tomorrow, and stayed up late the day after tomorrow, and finally, I got all the problems sorted out, and the computer servers could finally run.

Later, after several months, the computers had no problems at all. Recently, I added new equipment, and as soon as I plugged it in, it immediately started running. I told it to lie under me, and it obediently lay under me! Later, I discovered that doing things means subduing them, making them lie under you, so to do things well, you must sort things out one by one. If you do not understand things, then there is no subduing of that thing, and then things will often go wrong in your hands.

If we go to do things, whether it is at the bank, the business administration, or the tax bureau, we need to do our homework in advance and understand the principles behind doing these things, then these things will not cause any problems. If you do not cultivate the habit of understanding things, then things in your hands will either have this problem or that problem, and then you will be endlessly troubled. Because having problems means being in a state of not overcoming, so cultivating the habit of understanding things is a very remarkable character trait.

I will give you a good idea: Whether you are going to school or learning to program, you must understand them all. If you do not understand them, then they will always come and bully you. If you do things halfway and feel like you understand a little but do not understand a little, then that is a state of not overcoming, and then that thing will always come and bully you. This is not a joke, because not overcoming is a spiritual matter!

The king establishes the land by justice, but he who exacts gifts tears it down. (Proverbs 29:4)

Managing a country is very important, just like the Chinese have a saying, They do not worry about scarcity but worry about inequality, meaning that people do not care about the amount of things but worry about unfair and unjust distribution, so kings establish the land by justice, otherwise, they cannot manage it. I have met some people who feel dissatisfied as soon as China is mentioned. I tell them not to always feel dissatisfied, because if a person wants to manage a place well, they must first be able to manage some people, manage a large city, or manage a province before they can become a member of the Standing Committee.

If things in the county are not understood clearly, can they be understood clearly in the city? If things in the city are not understood clearly, can they be understood clearly in the center? Others may not be convinced, but I am convinced. Because I am very clear that if it were me, I could not do it. Because no matter how small something is, multiplied by 1.4 billion people, it is no longer a small thing, because that thing becomes extremely complex, such as going to the toilet, a small matter, but if it involves 1.4 billion people, it becomes very complex, so I am convinced because these things must be understood clearly before one can manage.

The righteous knows the rights of the poor; the wicked does not have understanding to know such rights. (Proverbs 29:7)

If the case of the poor comes into your hands, but you casually judge it, people will be cursed. Those sitting above to hear cases need to understand even the smallest things in order to judge properly. You must know that if you want to fool me while working under me, it is a bit difficult, because my area is small and easy to manage. Like some people, you can hear their underlying meaning and flavor as soon as they raise a question; I understand very well.

If a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked. (Proverbs 29:12)

If you manage two people, those two people will definitely deceive you. If you manage twenty people, those twenty people will definitely deceive you. You must know that people are not intentionally doing it; that is just how people are. So, once a king believes in falsehood, all his officials will be wicked. Some people really think I listen to falsehood, and after proving it again and again, it turns out that they are stubborn and self-righteous. There are not many people among us who are more astute and understanding than I am; many of my colleagues say I have good vision and am accurate in judging people. If a person cannot give a reason, they are talking nonsense. We must know that if a ruler listens to falsehood, all his officials will be wicked. When one person comes to deceive you, then two will come to deceive you, then three, then four, and then more.

If a king faithfully judges the poor, his throne will be established forever. (Proverbs 29:14)

Do not think that the poor are good; in fact, the poor have many bad habits. For a king, the most difficult to manage are the unruly people from poor mountains and harsh waters; so, there is the saying in Chinese that poor mountains and harsh waters produce unruly people. If I were asked whether I would go to a very poor place to solve the problem of poverty, if it were to give money, I would not do it; if it were to change the bad habits of the unruly people there, I would be a little interested in that. What is poverty? It must be that people are poor and their necks are particularly hard, and with a hard neck they are ignorant, and ignorance is a wicked person, and the result of a wicked person is poverty. Poor people think of crooked ways, and after thinking of crooked ways, they are even more wicked. So, you must know that a king faithfully judges the poor.

If there are very poor people among us, I will give you a word; do not feel hurt, this is a word to help you. If you are always poor, year after year, then the filth in your mind must be removed. It is a bit difficult not to be blessed among us, but you must change your neck; do not use these as excuses. I am poor because my parents are no good; I cannot compete with others' fathers. I am poor, not because of that, but because I do not have the conditions. When I tell someone to study, they reply, Teacher, I do not have the conditions. This makes me angry. What conditions are needed? One condition: get rid of stubbornness and self-righteousness! Do not play the game of having no conditions with me; if you cannot give a reason, you are talking nonsense.

Understanding this matter is critical; even a king needs to understand it, let alone a common person. We must know that from now on, we must have an overcoming mentality and must understand things when we do them. I have encountered many such examples: studying for a doctorate but becoming confused halfway through. I am very touched; what were their doctoral advisors doing? They should be the ones to resolve their confusion. Why did the doctoral advisor not know that the people below were confused? Actually, the doctoral advisor did not understand either.

If you are that doctoral advisor, you really should guide them; if you are a master's advisor, you really should guide them; if you are a life mentor, you really should guide people well, guiding people out of confusion. Actually, there is a reason why people are confused. From studying as a child, not understanding one day, then reading another day, still not understanding. Just wanting to be fast, they only pursue speed, not understanding, and the result is the faster the more chaotic, the more chaotic the faster. If people can understand things one by one, people do not actually have many things to do in a lifetime.

Managing Our Inner Temper

A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back. (Proverbs 29:11)

There are many things that need to be understood, first of all, we need to understand is our inner temper, we need to manage the temper inside us. A fool is not only foolish because he is also hard-necked because he is not only foolish but also self-righteous. One by one ministered cancer patients are very hard-necked. And the temper is great, all of which make sense, as if I want to solve my cancer. It is strange that he did not feel that he was doing something wrong, but always felt that they did the right thing. I ministered to him, but he felt that I was not right to do that to him. So it is a fool who fully vent his anger.

If I suppress this temper, that does not solve the problem. He would say, it does not matter, I forgive this teacher. Although he is good to me, but I really can't stand him! I'll bear with it again, he's been like this before. In the past, he was tolerating others, he was not without anger inside, but there was anger that was not released. If anger is released, it is better, If it is not released, just become cancer You see such a person with a good temper. He how to get cancer? This is the reason. In fact, he is only good on the surface, but the inside the things are brewing inside, and the things inside are dirty and smelly and disgusting.

If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages or laughs, and there is no quiet. (Proverbs 29:9)

Whether a fool is angry or happy, he cannot control himself. He is not in a state of cultivation. As long as it meets his heart and meets his hard-necked ideas, he is happy. As soon as it is different from him, his temper comes up. If you are wise, run away and hide when you encounter someone who thinks 3*8=23, we cannot deal with such people.

Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (Proverbs 29:20)

Why are people hasty in their words? Because they think they are right, and then they talk non-stop. It's hard to get them to stop and listen to you. Someone typed that 90 out of 100 people are like that. I think it might be more like 98! People in this world don't think they're wrong, that's why they have such tempers. Otherwise, where would the temper come from?

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression. (Proverbs 29:22)

When a person becomes stiff-necked, demons dwell within. And when demons dwell within, they will stir up a whole lot of trouble.

He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Proverbs 29:1)

Sometimes, in ministry, I encounter people who die while being ministered to. Not that they die at my hand, but they die because of their stiff necks. I don't know if I'm speaking a prophecy or stating a fact, but I have to keep ministering until they die. They can give up, but I can't! What to do? I have to find ways to soften their necks. I think it's not that their necks are stiff enough, but that I haven't done it right! Sometimes, I tell my colleagues, Look, isn't this going to be the end? Although I say that, I still press on with faith for another mile and continue to minister. Often, as I speak, the other person's temper flares up; I can't say anything. I lament that they have fallen for the devil's schemes and are hardening their necks.

Everyone must manage their temper. Why do people get angry? Because they think the other person is wrong and they are right, so the temper comes. If you think you are wrong and the other person is right, where would the temper come from? There would be no temper. From now on, your tempers will be much better because I have made this clear. You will know where your temper comes from. Thinking you are right, the temper comes; thinking you are wrong, the temper doesn't come. So, I will often think I am wrong, wouldn't that be easy? Thinking you are right or thinking you are wrong is not important; what is important is to understand the matter clearly.

Why do both sides think they are right? Everyone thinks they have a point. If you are talking and suddenly realize that you haven't handled the matter correctly, the other person will immediately lose power. Then, by working together to understand the matter clearly, wouldn't the temper disappear? If the boss says something to you and your temper flares up, why? You feel the boss has let you down. The boss pays you a salary, and you do so little work, and yet you feel the boss has let you down. Isn't that foolish?

You are working there, and they give you an opportunity. Then, you still find fault with them. That boss is not easy. The people under me should also understand what I am saying. If you understand your temper, it won't be so big. If your temper is very big and you get cancer, I have to pray for you. If your neck becomes stiff again, I have to minister to you until you die, or until I die. If I die, the problem will be solved. It's my problem that is solved; your problem still needs time to be worked out!

Disciplining Children and Servants

Do you know how to discipline children? A child was particularly naughty, and his mother came to me. I said, Do you discipline your child? She said, Yes, I do. Later, she brought the child to me, and he was very naughty. I said, Let me see you discipline him. She raised her hand high to slap him, but when it was close to his shoulder, she immediately slowed down and gently patted him twice, raising her hand high and lowering it gently. Is that what you call disciplining a child? Wouldn't the child take advantage of you? Of course, he would. Many people think they discipline their children well and that they are doing it right. What does doing it right have to do with a stiff neck? That's a stiff neck! So, looking at the child's condition, I know how the mother disciplines the child. Seeing how the child treats his mother, I roughly know what kind of situation the mother is in.

The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. (Proverbs 29:15)

A child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Without thinking, you know he has been indulged. Everyone gradually needs to understand this. Sometimes, when the father disciplines the child severely, the mother is likely to step in and stop him, afraid that he is being too harsh. What's wrong with being harsh? Even if, from now on, I don't have this son, what does it matter? Nothing. Many mothers want to avoid trouble and try to cover things up.

Disciplining the son requires a rod and reproof. I think that no matter how stiff the neck is, it shouldn't be stiffer than the cane. But everyone must know that once a child is past eleven or twelve years old, there is basically not much chance left. He has already developed the habit of looking down on you. So, I tell everyone, knowing that you haven't done it right is key. If you think you have done it right, continue with your method, and the result will be that you turn yourself into a servant!

Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart. (Proverbs 29:17)

Do you see that? If you haven't done it right, know that you haven't done it right.

He who pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him acting like a son. (Proverbs 29:21)

He who pampers his servant from childhood will in the end find him acting like a son. Do you think he really becomes his son? That's not a good thing; it becomes an indulgent son. If you are a small boss or a big boss, managing your subordinates, you cannot manage with pampering. You must have wisdom and know how to manage effectively. Pampering is indulging his flesh. Whether it's a child or a subordinate, you need to know what is right. You must know if you are doing it effectively, and then it will be easy.

Once, a mother brought a child to see me, and the child had no respect for the mother. Then, the mother's temper flared up, and the child said, You're always like this. That's not pleasant to hear, very unpleasant, You're always like this. If you had disciplined him correctly from childhood, he would not have the qualification to say such nonsense. Not having earned a cent, where do you get the qualification to say such things? Today, there are too many parents who indulge their children. If I have hit the mark, don't blame me. It's because you haven't managed them well, so you slowly work it out. I give everyone my own advice: As long as you are my subordinate, I will manage you every day. I am your superior; do as I ask. When do I give you the opportunity to do as you please? Never. As long as you are my subordinate, you must do this.

If you come to our church, I must manage you. But if you feel you don't want to stay in this team or this church anymore, and you want me to stop managing you, I will let go. Disciplining children is the same: either don't be my child, or accept my discipline. Whether disciplining children or servants, we must be strong. We must understand that we can still live without them, and the result is the same whether they are there or not. But we must make it clear to them that we are doing it to build them up. If you don't allow me to build you up, I will definitely let go.

In fact, it's not just children; it's the same with the elderly. Some time ago, a sister in the church called me, crying her heart out because she couldn't communicate with her mother. I told her not to be a servant who tries to manage everything all the time. As a result, two days later, she called me again, saying that her mother had changed. It was precisely because she had decided not to manage her anymore that her mother started to change. We ourselves must understand that if they want to improve, they will improve; if they don't want to, they can do whatever they want.

Speaking of discipline in the church, as long as I am pastoring, I will absolutely not give the devil any chance! When the devil sees it, he will think, It's bad luck to run into this kid. Do you think I'm really not managing? Actually, no, it's just not managing in the style of a servant, but in my own way. Managing requires wisdom. Managing children requires them to submit to you, not you to submit to them. How many children today are riding on their parents' heads, acting like tyrants? We must always think we don't understand, and we must clarify what we don't understand. Today, many people's words and actions reflect their self-righteousness and stiff necks. Unfortunately, even after hearing these words, it may not be effective because they have their own explanations.

Do Not Rely on People

What people like most is to rely on others. Being obsequious to children is because they expect them to provide for them in old age. Why does the temper flare up when the child does something? It's because they realize their hope is about to be dashed. My mother and my sister had negotiated well at the beginning, with the idea of give and take. As a result, my sister once pointed her finger at my mother and scolded her for two hours. It can only be said that my mother brought it upon herself.

A man who flatters his neighbor is spreading a net for his feet. (Proverbs 29:5)

There is much in scripture about not relying on people. Those who like to flatter and only say nice things are very skilled. The reason to flatter people is that you think doing so will improve the relationship. Those who fear people will fall into a snare. Flattering people is because you have fear in your heart. My mother endured my sister scolding her for two hours because she had fear in her heart, fearing that my sister would not provide for her in old age.

The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe. (Proverbs 29:25)

Relying on people is not good. People like me don't ask favors of others or entrust things to others because I have God. When something happens, I ask God! Many seek the favor of a ruler, meaning many hope to gain benefits from the ruler, but they forget what benefits they can give to the ruler. In interactions between people, you must know what you can give to the other person and what the other person can give to you. Seeking God and relying on God will bring safety; relying on people will bring fear and flattery! The reason people continue to do this is that they think it is right. Once they don't think it's right, they don't have to fear and flatter people. Because living and providing for old age depend on God. Once this is understood clearly, everything becomes simple.

It's just that we haven't understood many things clearly. So, from today on, we must clarify one thing at a time. If you understand where your temper comes from, you won't have a temper. If you understand what living is about, once you realize that living doesn't depend on people or degrees, there's nothing to be nervous about. We live by relying on God. If you are worried that you can't rely on Him, then clarify the matter of relying on God. Every time you experience something, prove that relying on God works, and from then on, gradually believe that God can be relied on. As for why relying on God didn't work in the previous church, it's because that church didn't understand it clearly. Nothing works if you don't understand it clearly. Strife, love of money—these things are throughout, and it also talks about shedding blood here, which is just to gain some benefits! People must know that God is very fair to people.

The rich and the poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. (Proverbs 29:13)

He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Proverbs 29:1)

No matter who it is, everyone has been enlightened by God, but if people don't listen, they will be repeatedly rebuked. Poor people have a poor mentality. No matter how you try to change it, they still follow that mentality. Poor and violent people can't accomplish anything, even though their eyes are enlightened by the Lord, but they still harden their necks every time. As long as people's necks soften, many things can be resolved.

Summary

Let me make a summary: We must learn to observe the results. If the result is right, it proves we did it right. If the result is wrong, it definitely means we haven't done it right. When I was in school, a classmate spent two months writing a program, but it couldn't run. Then he concluded that there was nothing wrong with his program; it must be the computer he was using that was broken. Seeing his distressed look, we roommates decided to help him take a look. As soon as we looked, we found that the error was actually very obvious. Once we fixed it, all the problems were solved. He himself couldn't get any results after struggling there for two months because he was stiff-necked. I said he was stiff-necked. Don't laugh secretly. Think about how many years you have been stiff-necked? We must change!

How do we know if we have done it right or wrong? It's very simple. If the result is right, can it be wrong? People are all different when they are born. Some people feel that the world owes them from birth and love to cry every day. Later, they cry themselves into depression. After meeting me, their depression got better. It's just that their necks are not so stiff anymore. They feel that the world no longer owes them, and the whole person is better. Some children don't cry when they are born, like me. I always feel that I owe the world a debt of gospel and hope that everyone can benefit from me.

I owe everyone; how can I not explain this doctrine more clearly? If someone doesn't understand, I wonder why I didn't explain it clearly. I'm always thinking about what to preach next week and what everyone needs. Although I enjoy preaching, my pressure increases from Monday to Saturday. Last Saturday, I received someone, and after it was over, I didn't sleep all night because I kept thinking about what to preach for an hour and a half the next day. I always want to explain it more clearly so that I won't let everyone down. I always feel that I haven't done it right. To know if it's done right, look at the results.

After you have listened to my preaching of Proverbs chapter 29, if the problem of being self-righteous and stiff-necked is gone, and the state of insomnia is gone, how good would that be! Share with me when you are happy, especially share your testimonies. Some people ignore me when they are happy but come to me when they are suffering. So observe the results. When I see everyone is better, I am happy, which means I did it right.

Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. (Proverbs 29:18)

Today, we must know, why do people always mess around? People mess around when they have no vision. They don't care whether they do it right or wrong. Without vision or dreams, they just have a diamond-hard neck, which is useless. If people don't have big things inside, small things become big things, causing a lot of anger and problems. So people must have a vision. I'm promoting Chinese Mingding Destiny again here. When I have vision and dreams, I always feel that I owe everyone something when I minister, and I am very happy. I run straight toward this goal, striving forward, forgetting what is behind. It doesn't matter how many things I did right in the past; look at how many things still need to be done right. Looking ahead, this needs to be done correctly, and that needs to be subdued.

I think it's good to have a Mingding Destiny! I was born for this, and I came into this world for this. I live for this, and I will die for this. God will be with me, and I will not be unrestrained. Living however you want is unrestrained! I want to change everyone's bad habit of living however they want. When I see someone living however they want, I always feel that I owe them something, always wondering why I can't minister to them well. I want to give them a universal-joint neck that is particularly flexible. People must have vision. Many people go on a trip to Europe one day and a trip to Africa the next. I think, Isn't this living aimlessly? It is difficult to say what returns will come of doing these things. A person must have vision and dreams and think clearly about why they live. If they live aimlessly, they will surely bring destruction upon themselves.

He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Proverbs 29:1)

People must observe the results, and you will know that you must have vision and dreams. When you come to our church, I think about what your problems are. Once, I said that I have never stopped learning in my life, and the person across from me said that he has never studied. So I took two books from the bookshelf and gave them to him. I thought that even if he didn't return them to me, it would be fine as long as he could put the knowledge into his brain. After a while, I asked him if he had read them. He said he hadn't even opened them, saying he didn't have time. Actually, he spent his time doing meaningless things, without vision or dreams!

If our church wants to help people grow, I feel that I haven't fully understood yet and need to continue to understand. In the future, if I understand clearly, this will have profound results for the education of future generations of children. I am considering it. If the system we research can teach children to be smart, I think this in itself is a great reward. Because I was born for this, I live for this. I came here with great difficulty, and I want to build vision and dreams on the rock of Jesus Christ. May God manifest His glory in me until I see the face of the Lord.

I long for brothers and sisters to have the same vision and dreams as me. No matter what level you are at, as long as you have vision and dreams, no matter how slow you climb, one day you will reach the temple of God and be able to climb this spiritual peak. At that time, you will say, I thank God that in my life, he gave me vision, dreams, and goals so that I did not live in vain and could experience God's glory in this world, walking with God throughout my life.

May God bless everyone!
