I. Introduction

Good day, everyone! Today, I'd like to share a very fine topic with you: seeking glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility! You should know that I originally intended to speak on: being a person of honour. The last lecture was on being a person of glory, but I later found that this topic was difficult to expound on. It was too difficult to talk about being an honourable person. Later, people asked me several questions that I couldn't answer. But that's alright; it doesn't matter. I'll just change the topic. If we can't speak on it, we'll change it to something else. What should we change it to? Seeking glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility! Some people say, Teacher, how did you tell us about this? Hey, we don't do what we can't do. We do what we can. There are many things we can't do, so we should be practical.

People in this world all have their pursuits. What kind of person pursues what kind of thing, and then that will be their Mingding Destiny. Do you understand? Some people are born in the year of the Dog and have a 'Dog's Destiny'; some are born in the year of the Ox and have an 'Ox's Destiny'; and some are born in the year of the Rat and have a 'Rat's Destiny'. Each has its own way of living and its own reasons. No one can convince anyone else. Isn't that so? You know, in Africa, there is a very, very cruel animal called the 'African Second Brother', which is the hyena. I couldn't even write the character for 'hyena’; tried for a long time but it didn't look right. When I looked it up in the dictionary, oh my heavens! There were so many strokes.

What does the hyena specialise in? It specialises in gutting the anus. Its lifelong pursuit is to become an expert in gutting the anus. If you are targeted by it, it's a very troublesome thing. It specifically looks for your weakest spot. Isn't that deadly? Some time ago, I learned a saying: 'Killing a pig by stabbing the butt'. How uncomfortable that must be! How painfully the pig dies! The hyena's lifelong pursuit is to develop the skill of gutting the anus. It's famous. Everyone knows about it. Often, for a little bit of animal carcass, they fight to the death.

The African hyena elder brother and second brother are not much different. They fight to the death. You say, doing this every day, what glory is there? What glory is there to speak of? What honour is there to speak of? When people say, Ah! This person is like a hyena, it doesn't sound good. So, such an animal, without glory or honour, is eaten by its own kind when it gets old. You should know that hyenas eat their own kind. They eat each other, biting each other to death. What kind of destiny is that? A gutting the anus destiny. What is this thing? It specialises in eating the dirtiest things.

What does the Bible say? As the beast lives, so does man; as the beast dies, so does man. You know, I've had this confusion since I was a child. Ah? Do people live and live, and then become like beasts? Then, when we studied, we learned that people can make tools. Later, we received this theory: people can make tools. Don't people gut the anus without tools? I thought, is it so great that people can make tools? Is a person's life really just like a beast's? Living and living and then dying, living and living and then dying. People struggle for this in life. It's very confusing. Moreover, people encounter many things in life that are uncontrollable.

During our class reunion, we counted who had dropped out. Do you know what it means to drop out? It means they died. Upon counting, 10% had dropped out; after a few more years, 20% had dropped out; after a few more years, 40%. When we gathered again, we don't know how many people there will be. Someone also recounted being stabbed to death. A classmate of mine from my backyard was killed by robbers with a knife. What else? Do you know what else?

In our time, there was something called 'digging up roots’, do you know about that? The building was pitch black. I don't know if the government was saving electricity or what, but it was pitch black. The robbers hid in that darkness. When you got to your house and took out your keys to open the door, a small, sharp hammer—have you seen railroad workers using a small hammer to check the tracks? Bang! They would hit the back of the person's neck, knocking them unconscious, all for the sake of robbery. It was called ‘digging up roots’. One of my classmates was a victim of this. After being robbed, even though he barely recovered, he was still sick. Later, he also died; he dropped out.

Ah, there are so many ways people die, dying of cancer, dying this way, that way. The day we were eating with classmates, a phone call came. One of our classmates was in the intensive care unit. The day before, he said the surgery was very successful because it was discovered early; it was stomach cancer. But the next day, he was in the intensive care unit because the incision wasn't healing. The stomach cancer incision broke open, and the contents of his stomach flowed into his abdomen. He was in the intensive care unit, and I tell you, anything can happen. He died the next day. The day before, I went to the hospital to see him, but they wouldn't let me in. I saw him the next day, lying in a coffin.

Anything can happen. Neighbours, two families fighting over sweeping snow. You swept a little into my yard, I swept a little into yours. Ah, fighting. One family beat the other to death; there were also wrongful deaths. Ah, I was thinking, how people are, so are the beasts; how the beasts are, so are people, just living and living and then dying. Without any honour or glory! Are people just living like this in this life? So later I liked to observe. Even though I was young, I liked to observe. There are too many things to seek in the vast world. Later, I sought, and I found that there was a concept within me from a young age. That concept is called honour. I am a person!

Our ancient Chinese scholar-officials would not bow down for five pecks of rice, which means they would not do unconscionable things for a salary. Later, I was deeply influenced by this, and it became the reason for my later pursuit. Then, in the Chinese Mingding Destiny that I founded, one of the management concepts, a very important part, is what? People are very honourable! When I was reading Genesis, when Noah left the ark, whoever sheds human blood will surely die and be punished. Why? Because people are very honourable. People are more important than things. The management concept of Chinese Mingding Destiny is that people are more important than things. But many enterprises place more importance on things than on people, squeezing every last drop of blood out of them. If things are more important than people, then people are not important. If things are not done well, that won't do!

So Chinese Mingding Destiny believes that people are more important than things. For example, is college entrance exam performance important? Performance is not important; your talent is important. People are more important than degrees. Because we are people; we are not African Second Brothers or African Third Brothers. Do you know who the African Second and Third Brothers are? One is the African hyena, and the other is the big lizard. We are all honourable people, and our service is also with this concept. So it's very honourable.

You know, a few days ago, a sister drove her big Benz from afar to see me. She was full of joy, and she looked very confident! She said, Teacher, I've come to see you. I said, Ah, good! You are full of joy. I am especially happy after seeing you. Why? Because she used to often cry, and was so miserable and not honourable before. She said, Teacher, drive my car. I drove it; it was very good, a Benz. Then, she took a big box of fruit out of the car; it was very heavy. She held the fruit into my house and put the box down. I tell you, when I think of her past days, I tell you, seeing her in this state today, ah, I am so grateful! My eyes were wet.

In those past years, I longed to see this sight today. In those past years, from an dishonourable and humble person, she has become an honourable person. Can you understand? Her parents were sick, and the two sisters had no money, watching helplessly. They lived very helplessly. Actually, they were not in some other place; they were in Zhejiang, the richest province in China, but they were still not honourable, and they lived life in that state.

Later, coming to church, they changed little by little. In the beginning, they really had no ability to make a living. So they began to train little by little. Today, they are so confident. Ah, my eyes are wet when I see it. Today, they have become people pursuing glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility. It's not that the Benz supports her heart, but her heart supports the Benz. Can you understand? Don't think that taking a bag can support the honourable image inside you. No! It is the honourable image inside you that supports the bag, supports the Benz, supports the clothes. Isn't that so? No matter how many famous brands a person wears, they cannot be honourable, but if the heart is honourable, that is truly honourable.

You know, she later went to work in a company. The company's monthly turnover, to this day, she has made a great contribution. It has quadrupled! When the company's boss sometimes has some disputes with her, she says, Well, I have the ability to make a living. I won't do it here. I can do it elsewhere. The boss says, That won't do! That won't do! Honourable, right? Isn't it? Where can't I live? I can live anywhere. As a result, the boss gave her a Benz. How good! She wanted to resign, but the boss wouldn't let her. She can't resign, she has to work here. Management, various things, are managed well. From managing employees to managing products to managing customers, she's doing well and has become more honourable.

Actually, in the past few days, my mood has been a little excited. I have really been encouraged. There are so many stories! Everyone has become more honourable, and everyone has grown. There is a young sister who only graduated from elementary school. Later, she didn't study well in elementary school. Today, in the blink of an eye, six years have passed, and she is eighteen years old. Then, she took a long vacation to come and see me. She is working as a teacher in a school. Eighteen years old and working as a teacher is quite interesting. When she came to see me, one look at her eyes, ah! That maturity, that strength, you would think she was thirty years old. With one eye, with one look, she can hold the place. I said, How many students do you teach? She said she teaches more than five hundred students. Goodness, that look of hers overwhelmed the place. Wow! That eye sweep, have you seen a teacher's eyes? The teacher's eyes are like that. Ah, she's become a teacher.

When her mother brought her to find me when she was seven years old, they had just come to the church. When I prayed with her mother, her mother cried terribly. Ah! Why? Because they were poor. So poor that it was a matter of life and death. So what happened? She cried terribly because she wanted to give this child a happy childhood. Did she get it today? Yes. Who gave it to her? God gave it! Both happy and honourable. Full of God's glory! Every story is wonderful to tell. I tell you, regarding my service, when I see this scene, I tell you, I have so much motivation to serve. Ah, I thank God! My spiritual children are closer than my physical children. Brothers and sisters are all growing. You know, I've seen so many, seen our sisters one by one, their work is on track.

You know, today there is someone who just went back from here. He wrote a long paragraph. He said, Before, finding a job for two or three thousand dollars seemed like a very difficult thing. It seemed like an astronomical number. You know, he grew up in the village. When he came out to find work, finding two or three thousand dollars seemed very good, an astronomical number. Now I tell you, any job is over ten thousand.

He wrote: Teacher, without you, there would be no me today. So think about it. This morning, my co-worker sent him to the high-speed rail station. And he was thinking in the back seat that meeting us, it's not because he met us, it was because he met God. Because we brought them all to God and led them on this path of pursuing and seeking glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility. Among us, there are not many who are born honourable; they are just born that way.

This sister, do you know? Her life is very bumpy. From a young age, she was sent away by her parents. After her parents sent her away, her adoptive parents put her in a small box and left her on the side of the road in the middle of winter. She would have frozen to death inside after a while. As a result, her current adoptive father was riding a bicycle and saw the box moving. He thought there was a puppy inside. He opened the box and saw that it was a child, and he took her home. When he got home, she was purple from the cold. Can you understand? Unimaginable, but she survived. Later, I tell you, later, when she grew up, she knew God and became more and more honourable, more and more full of God's glory!

There is another sister who used to suffer from depression. She is very interesting. She wrote me a long letter. I don't know where she got my email. To this day, it is still a mystery. I don't know how she knew my email address. She wrote a long letter. I can't handle my email and WeChat now; the assistants help me now. At that time, I read every email. When you read them, there are so many stories: depression. Let's start serving! I replied with a letter, and she was very surprised! A few days ago, she drove to see me, driving a brand new and beautiful car. Teacher, drive my car! So I had to drive her car. Not bad, very good! It's not because the car is good, it's because of the person in the car. That is the testimony of my service!

Step by step, she is now watching her colleagues, telling me: Many of my colleagues' mouths are like cotton trouser waists. As a result, her colleague said, You speak for me. I said, What's wrong? Does she want to be Moses and you be Aaron? I saw brothers and sisters growing step by step, coming from afar to be among us. Today, their finances have been turned around. Along the way, we have been constantly passing on the pursuit of glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility. Have you seen the results? Have you seen God's glory? We have seen it. Have you seen the money in your accounts increase? We have seen that too. Don't think that pursuing glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility means having empty accounts. It's not like that. Today, people have become wealthy.

A few years ago, they were at home taking care of their children, burying their talents. Later, they met us. I tell you, it's all tears when you talk about it! Although they were graduates of famous schools, they have come among us and walked step by step. Today, they have become financial executives. There are piles and piles of various stories. I encourage them to find jobs and find them well. If you want to jump ship, you must jump upwards, not downwards. Seeing God's presence is more valuable than money! Can God's glory be eaten? Can God's glory be taken as a salary? God's glory makes us more honourable! I encourage everyone to start seeking glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility, because God will repay you with eternity! Do you think eternal life is worthless? Eternal life is more valuable than money! All become very honourable!

When you come among us, I tell you, you have honourable qualities. You are very honourable. You are children of God. Nothing can take away our identity as children of God! In God's house, we lack nothing in our lives. Those who have not yet pursued this glory, honour, and the blessings of incorruptibility, start pursuing it well. Don't live like beasts anymore, like a hyena, an African Second Brother, treasuring the anus, specially loving to eat the large intestine. Perhaps the large intestine is very tasty, but don't be deceived by ghosts anymore; start pursuing the glory in eternity! This time, seeing so many brothers and sisters, I tell you, I am super happy! I believe you are my testimony, you are my report card, and those you serve are your report cards.

One day, I will stand before God with my brothers and sisters to receive rewards and a crown of glory! The thought of enjoying God's glory together in eternity excites me, and the momentary light affliction of this world is no longer worth mentioning. Wonderful! Pursue, seek glory, honour, and incorruptible blessings, and you will become more and more noble! God will surely reward us with eternal life and glory in eternity. Today, in this eternal life, the fruit of our service will go with us into eternity. This is a glorious and honourable path!

Recently, while ministering, I particularly enjoy asking people very private things, because these private things are important! I say, How much savings do you have? Quietly, don't let anyone know. Teacher, I have saved 100,000. Teacher, I have saved 200,000. Teacher, I have saved 400,000. Teacher, I have saved 600,000. Wow, good! Today, you say, Teacher, drive my car! Okay, I'll drive your car. In the future, you say, Teacher, live in my house. Then I'll live in your house. Don't think that cars and houses will change anything, but because you have these things, you will find that they are not important. You begin to have an abundant mindset, not because of pursuing cars and houses, but because of pursuing glory, honour, and incorruptible blessings, and God rewards us with eternal life, lacking no good thing in God's house.

I suggest everyone grow well and not love the world. Today, during prayer, those with cerebral infarction, this infarction, that infarction, are all testimonies of loving the world! Love God well. It's not that you need the money, but the money needs you. It's not that the money you need gets into your pocket, but the money wants to钻 into your pocket. It's not that you need the job, but the job needs you. You are all talents, and God will surely shape you into a talent. When you want to jump ship, change jobs, jump upwards, don't go for lateral moves, specifically look for management positions. Have the right mindset, pursue things that please God! My past pursuits have become the pursuits of our brothers and sisters today, and today we run together on this glorious road, how wonderful!

Can everyone take it in? If you take it in, today I will tell your fortune. Your destiny is a noble destiny. You are not a dog's life or a cow's life, but a noble life. Your destiny is the destiny of a child of God! Very good, extremely good! Such ministry is so exciting. Not only do I have this excitement in ministry, but all my co-workers share this excitement. After seeing it, sometimes tears of gratitude fall! In the past few days, my eyes have been wet several times, listening again and again, all tears of gratitude. Today, I encourage everyone to know how wonderful this road is to choose! Come, let us read today's scripture, Romans 2:7-10.

II. Scripture

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. (Romans 2:7-10)

III. Prayer

God! Today we come before You, we come before You with boldness, declaring by faith that we are truly Your children, that we have Your noble image, that we have Your glorious image. God! May You continue to do the work of carving in us, let us become vessels of Your glory, may Your glory, Your honour fill our hearts, we are to seek this incorruptible blessing; God! May You add glory, honour and peace to us, may we run by faith in this world, to be a blessing to many! In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scripture Background

I once wrote a book that is a Bible study of Romans. The book of Romans is written especially well! Paul wrote the entire mystery of his gospel clearly in Romans. What is Romans about? The name of the book I wrote is This Gospel is the Power of God. Many people describe Romans as justification by faith, but after being justified by faith, you don't know what to do. But today I tell you that Romans is not about justification by faith. That's a mistake. You say, how did Martin Luther get it wrong? Martin Luther didn't read it so clearly. I tell you, we have to say with a clear conscience: Romans is really about this gospel being the power of God.

Why talk about this gospel being the power of God? Because the church in Rome was not传福音 by the Apostle Paul. Who established the church in Rome? Those from Jerusalem who followed Peter, and then, persecuted, fled to Rome and immigrated. The church in Rome was a branch of the Jerusalem church. As time went by, by the time Romans was written, the church in Rome had a serious deviation in its understanding of this gospel being the power of God. You say, how do you know? I tell you, the writer must be writing in response to the other party's problems, otherwise, how could he write these things, right?

So when Paul wrote Romans, this gospel being the power of God was described clearly. That is to say, Romans wants to express that this gospel is the power of God, to save all who believe. But here's the problem: the church in Rome was full of all kinds of confusion. For example, seeing this and that happening in the church, a good brother who loves God gets cancer. Confusing? Very confusing. There is a brother in the church who looks good and gets hit by a car and dies. Looks good, I don't know if there was刨根 in that era? I don't know if there were robbers stabbing people with knives? Some looked very good, went to a place, went to Korea to participate in a gathering of 300,000 people, and got COVID. Later, they tossed around in the ICU and died after a few months in the intensive care unit.

Confused? You must be confused. Why would God let someone who loves Him so much experience these things? Why? Confused, right? There are answers in the Chinese Mingding Destiny, because the Chinese Mingding Destiny inherits the theological system of the Apostle Paul. Why? Because what a person believes is what they seek, and what they seek is what they get. What do you regard as precious? What a person seeks, pursues, and gets. God is a good God, so why are there so many tragedies? It turns out those are manifestations of God's wrath. Why are there so many things happening in the church? What people believe is what they get.

In the past few years on my path of faith, I have seen many of these things with my own eyes, and I thank God that God has let me see them. So I'm not confused, what am I confused about? I often read the Bible, and in those years, I read it relatively clearly. I'm not saying that God is Santa Claus, very good, very cute, giving out gift packs every day, no. In those years, I knew that God separated people into those who please God's wrath and those who please God. I saw a pastor in the church driving himself and crashing himself to death. His child was a few months old, and it was hard to see. Now that child is in their twenties, that was many years ago. Are you confused? But I know him, I know what kind of person he is, how could I not know? I know. Later I was not confused, loving cars like life!

From that time on, I made up my mind that I would never love cars. What am I doing loving cars? For a while I drove, but later my home was very close to my workplace, so I sold the car. Who has nothing to do raising such an expensive thing, Singapore cars are so expensive! How much does it cost me to drive one kilometre? It costs about twenty yuan RMB per kilometre. I have nothing to do, wouldn't it be better for me to walk one more kilometer? I can also exercise.

How much does it cost me to drive one kilometer? It costs about twenty yuan RMB, about twenty yuan RMB per kilometer on average. I have nothing to do I couldn't walk a kilometer? Exercise. A car with four wheels becomes two wheels, am I not noble if I ride a bicycle? I ride a bicycle to work, oh, this kid made a mistake. He sold the car, he must have made a mistake. What mistake did I make? I am noble inside. From the time I became a Christian, a very weak Christian, I saw these things happening in the church.

At that time, the Romans were confused when they saw these things. Paul wrote this letter to the Romans, not only to the Romans, but also left it to us today, but not many people understand Romans today. What is this place talking about? What are you pursuing? If you pursue glory, honour, and incorruptible blessings, God will add glory, honour, and peace to them. Then if you pursue worldly things, God will add anger and wrath to these people, affliction and distress to these evildoers, all things of the heart.

Why can't God's power and glory be seen? Why do the Israelites live in tragedy? It's not difficult to understand, it's that God adds glory, honour, and peace to some people, and adds wrath, anger, affliction, and distress to others. To whom? It depends on what you seek. What you believe is what you pursue, what you seek, depending on whether the person inside has a worldly heart or a godly heart? If you enter and leave the church with a worldly heart, believing in the Lord is also in vain, believing in the Lord is absolutely in vain. But if you have a godly heart, with a thirst, thirsting to obtain God's glory, honour, and incorruptible blessings, wouldn't it be easy? Seeing God's glory, God's power, what people believe is what they are.

So, in the church in Rome at that time, some people were slaves. The slave believed in the Lord, and every day he thought about breaking away from that master, wanting to become free. What are you going to do? You are a slave, continue to be a slave in the world, it doesn't affect you having a heart of glory and honour inside, right? Do it well, you can still see God's power. What people seek is what they get, this is the Apostle Paul's view.

So, are you still confused today? You don't need to be confused. We don't know what people are pursuing in their bones, but as soon as a person speaks, what they value, we can definitely hear clearly. So today, the Chinese Mingding Destiny will bring about a new Christian reformation, not justification by faith, but the Chinese Mingding Destiny wants to restore this gospel, the power of God, to save all who believe. From where to start? Start from your heart, what you think. Coming among us today, I think there are still many, how difficult it is to change!

Eight or nine years ago, the sisters I ministered to, today I have removed the mindset of poverty from them, and removed the mindset of liking to take advantage. Now they have become vessels of glory and honour, how good! So, I think today everyone should know, what is the Chinese Mingding Destiny doing? Chinese theology wants to completely transform our brothers and sisters from the root, so that people can live out God's glorious and honourable image, how good!

After the Romans, the church in Rome, read the Book of Romans, I don't know if they can restore this gospel as the power of God? This is not something we worry about. What are we concerned about? What we are concerned about is, in our minds, can we restore that glorious and honourable image of God?

V. The Effect of a Lifetime Comes from the Heart

What is in your mind today? I tell you, you will live like that, because God's established rule is like this. Some people get God's anger, some people get God's joy. Some people get God's glory, some people get affliction and curses from God. Some people have things in their minds they can't say, it's embarrassing to say them. If you don't say them, do you think it's okay? The spiritual laws that God has established, you can't escape them. So, in the past few years, what have I been doing in my ministry? I have been doing ideological work, people have to do ideological work. That ideological work, you don't care what it is? It is very effective, and I am still doing ideological work today.

What do I hope everyone can become? Become those who pursue glory, honour, and incorruptible blessings in eternity. Then the things of this world become light and momentary afflictions, nothing great. If our thinking is right, there are no unsolvable difficulties. So, today we have adjusted everyone's thinking correctly. If your thinking is adjusted correctly, you become noble, if you have noble thoughts inside, you are a noble person. Even if you don't carry that Hermes bag, that LV bag, it doesn't matter, you are still very noble. It's not that the bag props up your nobility, it's that your heart props up your nobility, it's the thoughts in your heart. What is this thing, the thoughts in the heart? It's called understanding. So, Paul is very focused on understanding, people must be fully acquainted with God in their understanding, what people believe is what they get.

But here's the problem, the effect of a lifetime comes from the heart, this is very interesting. For example, yesterday I gave an offering, and today there is no blessing. Can you look at it that way? You can't look at it that way. If you say, we press the light switch, and it lights up a year later, that would be bad. This guy, you press a switch, and it lights up a year later, then you wait, it's dark in the toilet, no way.

But God created a very wonderful thing, and also dug a very deep pit, called faith. People in this matter of faith, it's very interesting. What a person believes is not that they believe it today and get it tomorrow. I minister, I tell you, as long as I personally minister, I will definitely follow up for one year, two years, three years, four years, five years, six years, seven years, eight years, until the person adjusts the things inside them, until today I am still doing this. Why? Because if you plant a bean sprout, the bean sprout will come out in two, three, or five days. But if you plant a flat peach, how many years does the flat peach take? Do you know how many years a flat peach takes? We haven't seen a flat peach, about a thousand years. If you plant a ginseng fruit, Bodhi, the Bodhi master, what's his name, the master of Ti.

The ginseng fruit planted by Sun Wukong's master, wow, how many years does it take to bear one, six thousand years. Now this is talking about Journey to the West, six thousand years to bear one. I ask you, which is more valuable, one that takes six thousand years to bear and one that takes three thousand years to bear, and a bean sprout that sprouts in three days? Of course the one that takes six thousand years is more valuable. So, this thing called faith is very interesting, this thing called faith is very interesting. God dug a very deep pit of faith, called delay.

Once there is a delay, you know, when I used to study control theory, once there is a delay, this thing is difficult to control. Why? You think you can only see the result after six thousand years, you don't know if you did it right, you don't know if you did it wrong. After six thousand years, you see you did it wrong. You say this thing, you waited six thousand years and no fruit grew? You planted it wrong back then. So, this thing called faith is very interesting. With faith, what you believe is what you get. If you believe in this life, then you pursue this life. You may believe in this thing today, pursue this thing, it's okay. People just live and live, live to their thirties and get 刨根, live to their fifties and get cancer, anyway, this thing has a big delay. Oh, very interesting, so, this thing called faith is not easy to deal with. You say, I believe, some things are very difficult.

You see, when I pray, I often ask, has that brother of ours who is paralyzed, has his leg healed? It is still the same, but in my faith, he can already stand up and walk. You ask, when will that be? Ah, I tell you, when he can stand up and walk, that is a precious peach, that is a ginseng fruit, so valuable, that is the fruit of faith within me. Today, when I see the growth of our brothers and sisters, it is a fruit that I planted in my faith many years ago, and it has grown today. Ah, tears flow when I see the result, it is so precious! I want you to have a wealthy mindset, but today there is still no fruit. Some people see that there is no fruit and think, what is this? And they lose faith. So, have they fallen into a pit? The effect of a person's life comes from the heart, what heart? Faith!

I tell you, the path I have taken to build this church today, I have seen the results. Today's results are from many years ago, in an extremely desolate era, one day I persevered, one day after another, one day after another. Fortunately, I did not persevere for six thousand years, but after seven or eight years, I saw the results, and I was so moved by the results. If in eternity, not six thousand years, nor sixty thousand years, but in eternity, wow, my faith. My faith will accomplish God's exceeding and eternal weight of glory, and in eternity I have already obtained this crown of glory. Today, enduring some hardship is normal. Today, it is still enduring some hardship, so tired that I shed tears, sowing seeds with tears, and serving with tears. Therefore, the effect of a person's life comes from the heart.

Today, brothers and sisters, if your faith is not supported by understanding, you cannot persevere, it depends on what you are planting? Today, when we encounter some difficulties, do we overcome them or not? Or, ah, what to do? That is not right, is it? No, people have faith, and with faith they will overcome. I tell you, those who trust in God will not be put to shame. What have our ideological works built? They have built the word of God. Our ideological work is to enable people to have faith in the word of God. Those who trust in God will not be put to shame, the effect of a lifetime comes from the heart.

Today, brothers and sisters, do you know? I see, not to mention five or six years ago, but the sister I was serving five years ago. Ah, as soon as I spoke, as soon as I prayed, her whole body trembled, and her face distorted. As soon as I prayed like that, it was uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. Later, I dragged her, pulling and dragging, and finally she began to have the ability to make a living. Today, she has become very honorable and drives a Mercedes-Benz. Don't think that the Mercedes-Benz is very glorious, no, the person who drives the Mercedes-Benz is very glorious, the person who drives the Mercedes-Benz is very honorable inside.

Her boss said, I don't know where you get such confidence? Where does the confidence come from? The honor inside is the confidence, the faith in God inside is the confidence! Where does such great confidence come from? People who have God, people who have faith have confidence! Is that good? Today, I know for sure that the effect of a lifetime comes from the heart. Today, start choosing to seek glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay, and start establishing such concepts in understanding.

Six, This Life and Eternal Life

You know, what do you value? What do you despise? There is a dividing line, is this thing something of this life? Or something of eternal life? If you are pursuing something of eternal life, you will see the pursuit of glory and honor, blessings that cannot decay. If you pursue things of this life, you will find that what you value will all rot after not long, a hundred years later even yourself will rot, there is nothing left.

What civil servant? Civil servants will soon see things that can decay. After taking the exam for so long, you get a few thousand dollars a month, I don't know what to do? Why? Civil servants have an iron rice bowl, they can sit back and relax, they can be lazy. What kind of mind is that? So, today, brothers and sisters, what do you value? What do you despise? That is simply a watershed, with a deep abyss in between. People living in this life pursue the things of this life. People living in eternal life pursue the things of eternal life.

You know, since I was a child, there was a very magical thing. Taking first place in the exam, OK, I strolled home, not like a dog, jumping and leaping, as if it were very glorious, I didn't think anything of it. Then later, I got tenth place in the exam, and I didn't think anything of it? Later I dropped to twentieth place, and I didn't think anything of it? Just like that. Why? I don't know what this thing is for? I don't know what to do? Anyway, just like that. Valuing it, despising it, I didn't know about eternal life or this life at that time. But the results of valuing it and despising it are very obvious. Now I understand, if people pursue glory in eternity, they value the things of eternity. If you pursue this life, then you will value the things of this life.

For example, if you want to maintain your health, are you maintaining this life? Or are you maintaining eternal life? What kind of life are you maintaining? Which life are you maintaining? If you are maintaining this life, you will incur God's wrath. If you are maintaining eternal life, you will incur God's glory and honor. Do you understand? Today it has been clearly confirmed. I myself am sure, you may not have seen it, it doesn't matter, but I have seen it. What have I seen today? I have seen that maintaining eternal life brings God's glory, God's presence, and maintaining this life brings corruption. If people care too much about the body, it's terrible.

For example, among our brothers and sisters, some time ago I led everyone to work, and while working, my wrists hurt, and my arms were swollen. Then I led them to pray, and after praying it got a little better, and the next day it hurt again, and I prayed again. You must know that there is a concept inside me, do you know what it is? The concept inside me is: this is releasing. Why? Because I didn't work much before, and my arms were thin, how could I not hurt? I worked too little. Then some people think: I hurt as soon as I work, so I can't work anymore. I said, it's not because of work, it's because I worked too little before.

Does everyone understand my logic? But if you care too much about your body and say: that's not okay! Then we care about eternal life, anyway, the body is destroyed day by day, it's OK, just use it, use it to death, it doesn't matter, does it? It is not OK for people to care about the problems of this life, to be carnally minded is death. You must know that I once served a person who did not have a good confinement after childbirth and had a body full of illnesses. She thought that her illness was because she did not have a good confinement. You must know that foreigners do not have confinement.

Later I told her that this was a lie, that people think she did not have a good confinement was a lie, and later I led her to pray, and after praying she was completely healed, it had nothing to do with confinement or not. That was a lie released by a demon. What do people care about? I don't care about these things. I tell you, what if the body is destroyed day by day? Just use it up. Isn't it? God will surely prepare that glorious body for us in eternity. God will surely resurrect from the dead, transforming what is not glorious and corruptible into incorruptible, and transforming what has no glory into what is full of God's glory.

Seven, Believe in Eternal Life and Seek Glory, Honor, and Blessings That Cannot Decay!

If people despise everything in this world, I tell you, they will not lose it. People value something and cannot obtain it. For example, children, you must do well in the exam, the glory of the whole family is on your exam, you must study hard. Wow! The pen weighs a thousand pounds when you pick it up. As a result, the child fails the exam. Why? The pressure in the heart is too great. If you value it too much, you will not do well, what should you do? How do you explain it? Isn't it?

Then, for example, Chinese football, they always say: 1.4 billion Chinese people are watching you, you must win glory for the Chinese people. If you don't kick well, you will kick out corruption. What people value and what people despise, you will find that what people despise will be done well, and what people value will not be done well. Do you all agree with this concept? I think today's service is not because of anything else, it is because of seeking that glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay! I am not doing nothing because I am full and have nothing to do, I am not living to be full. Serving is what we do.

We must bring everyone to God's path, despising everything, regarding all this as a momentary and light affliction, revealing this spiritual law, and God will reward us with eternal life. This is what I believe, and I labor for it, and I pay the price for it. I tell you, have I seen God's glory until today? I have seen it. Have I seen eternal life? I have not seen it. Have I taken a stroll in eternal life? No. But today I am in eternal life, today I am in the blessings that cannot decay. Because Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were seeking this.

I tell you, in the past journey, when seeking these glory, honor, and blessings of God that cannot decay, it is full of memories, full of stories. So I like to tell stories when I preach, and sometimes I dare not speak too deeply, for fear that everyone will take their seats. Ah, who is he talking about? This is the spiritual law. Today, I hope that everyone can walk on this road full of God's glory, and that it will be full of memories. Thank God!

Eight, Believe in This Life and Seek the Benefits of This Life

Believing in this life is a complete logical system, what is obtained? Believing in this life is seeking the benefits of today, what is obtained? What is obtained is God's wrath. Have you noticed that those who believe in today and seek this life end up dying miserably? There is something very puzzling, there are many health experts in this world, and some time ago, a health expert died suddenly! We don't know each other, we just heard about it online. He was maintaining his health, but how did he maintain himself to death? Are you confused? Is there a problem with maintaining health? There is no problem with maintaining health, but God's wrath is the problem. Who told you to maintain this life? If you maintain this life, you will obtain God's wrath, clearly revealing the spiritual law.

Then, the leader of one of our brothers, that is, his superior, likes to go to the gym to work out, sometimes exchanging blood and taking health products. Then he runs, exercises, and promotes the concept of health in the entire unit, he says, look how well I maintain myself! He is almost sixty years old, in his fifties maybe, and he dies suddenly! Everyone is confused about his theory of health. In fact, you don't need to be confused, why? Because from a worldly perspective, is there any problem with maintaining health? There is no problem. But people don't know that maintaining health can bring very serious problems, maintaining this life leads to an early death. Maintaining this life incurs God's wrath. People are confused, how can you die when you are maintained so well? Ah, I have found that the benefits of this life are very corrupt.

Then I often say to my colleagues, look at one of my classmates, he runs marathons every time, because they have been with me for a long time, they say, did he die? I said, not yet. Ah, because they hear me say this, it seems like they are going to die. Some time ago, some executives of very famous companies loved to maintain their health, have you noticed that some time ago, after the New Crown, some people went running and then died suddenly. There are many such things. Actually, it is not, it is maintaining this life that incurs God's wrath.

Nine, Summary: Learn to Be a Person Who Seeks Glory and Honor, That Is a Blessing That Cannot Decay

It is immeasurably better if your heart is noble, with a noble heart and confidence, you will trust in God. So there are many things that I have not explained clearly today, and it will be troublesome if I continue to explain. I don't know if what I said is clear to everyone, but what I said is clear. When we have Q&A later, I will answer everyone's questions. Everyone help me prepare questions.

But today I encourage everyone to be a person who seeks glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay, because this is immeasurably better, there is a spiritual law in this world. This spiritual law is that God reigns, God will manifest His wrath on some people, and God will also manifest His glory on some people. God will add glory and honor to some people; God will also add tribulation and pain to some people; it depends on what kind of person you are seeking. So today, brothers and sisters, we must begin to readjust.

Before, I believed, but today I have seen with my own eyes the fruits of seeking glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay. It's great, can it be eaten as rice? It can be eaten as rice; can it be eaten as medicine? It can also be eaten as medicine; can it be spent as money? It can also be spent as money. Because people are very noble! Too noble, too valuable. You and I are precious in God's eyes. Is that good, let us begin to redefine today, begin to seek glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay, and walk this path. To pay the price for it, to suffer some setbacks for it, to suffer some hardships, is a hardship with God's glory. May God bless you all!

Let us sing a hymn and prepare to receive today's offering. If you do not understand the meaning of offering, please do not offer. OK? Today, start seeking, while listening to this hymn, also prepare your hearts, and also write down your doubts, and I will answer them when I answer questions later. Today, let us enter into this promised land together, and let us seek this glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay together. The momentary and light suffering of this world is not worth mentioning, do not think that we can lie down because we despise all this, no. You can work, and you will do it better, you will never be a burden to this society, but you will become a vessel to manifest God's glory!

At this time, raise your hands and pray with me: God! I want to come before You, I want to seek this glory, honor, and blessings that cannot decay! God! May You add glory, honor, and peace to us! God! May You save us from all this corruption. Let us be filled with Your power in everything we do, and let our service see Your glory. In the name of Jesus Christ I declare! I am seen as rich and noble in God's eyes, in the name of Jesus Christ, I want to break away from those despicable things and become a noble vessel. God! Lead me today, bless me, be with me, and let me hold on to You tightly all my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever, Amen! May God bless you all!
