I. Introduction:

Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to share with you an excellent topic: The Glory of God Discovered and Shining Upon You. The phrase The Glory of God Discovered and Shining Upon You is something I have longed for. Having experienced the valley of the shadow of death, passing through a long and dark tunnel, I finally saw the glory of God. Today, we have emerged and can speak casually about the glory of God without being troubled or distressed. But what did we rely on to get through that darkness? It was faith, bearing hope. But today, I want to tell you that there is even more of God's glory ahead.

I met someone, and I asked him, What do you do? He told me, My line of work is great. I asked, How so? He said, My line of work is being a businessman. I have good business models, good management teams, and good core technologies, all specifically designed to transfer money from other people's pockets into my own. I thought, that's pretty good! He gets all the money into his pocket, so I have to be careful not to let him take my money. To get money from my pocket into yours, you have to be smarter than me, and most people can't do that. So, you should know that I am very careful; I dread the thought of someone getting the money from my pocket into theirs. Think about it, making money is the most common thing in the world.

Aren't we all busy with one thing, which is making money, that is, getting money into our own pockets? Getting money from the bank into your pocket is called taking out a loan. Getting money from investors into your pocket is called seeking investment. If you get government money into your pocket, that's called corruption. If you get church money into your pocket, that's also quite problematic; it's called embezzling God's offerings, and that’s even more serious!

You should know that I especially honour those who are filial to their parents. I have a friend whose mother is getting old, and he wants to bring his mother over to live with him. When he was about to do so, his younger brother showed up. This younger brother is a mess. When the old person gets sick, he wants to send her to a nursing home. Isn't it when a person is sick that we should be taking care of them? But he wants to send her to a nursing home. Why? Because it's too much trouble. Later, the second son came, and just his name sounds second rate, and this person is very second rate. This second son came and said, Mom, leave your house deed here. Oh my goodness! What for? He said, That's mine. He put someone else's house deed into his pocket and someone else's money into his pocket as well. Interesting, isn't it? Interesting. Then, this guy's communication with his mother was unbelievable; I was impressed! He said, Mom, I know your daily expenses very well, and I know how much your pension is, so I know how much money you should have left. If there's even a penny missing, I will not be polite to you! So, he was after the money. I'll tell you the outcome of this person. You don't need to be a fortune teller; even a fool can guess that he'll get sick all over. Why? How deep is the curse? A whole body full of curses!

Someone typed: The debt collector has arrived. Some people even said: He's doing an inventory for his mom! Quite interesting; our brothers and sisters are very cooperative! All those who covet other people's property and other people's money should be careful, lest you covet a whole body full of sicknesses! If there are such people among our brothers and sisters, I must warn you whether you want a whole body full of sicknesses or not! You might贪 the money, but you may not have the opportunity to spend it! It's bad luck to raise this kind of son! I tell you, it's not that it’s bad luck for people to raise this kind of son, but this kind of son is truly called bad luck; he's a jinx. Where is kinship in the face of money? So, I tell everyone that you must be especially careful when you meet people who love money—even if they are your own flesh and blood, it's no use; what is born of the flesh is flesh, just like that! There are also some sons who say to their father, Dad, I have to think about myself. What does he mean by thinking about himself? He wants his father's property for himself; he has to think about himself. When has he ever thought about his father? His father's heart is chilled after hearing that. Alas, this generation is like this; raising a son who loves money is truly raising a debt collector. You know what a debt collector is, right? Do you want to have children? Then raise a jinx!

Then he asked me, What do you do? I said, My profession is great. He said, How is your profession great? How so? I said, Ah, my line of work is being a priest; I put money into your pocket. His reaction after hearing that was, Huh? You put money into my pocket? Look, I also want to put money into my pocket, and you also want to put money into my pocket; are you crazy? I'm not crazy, and I don't want to deceive people. Although it sounds like a scam, many people actually think, how can there be such a thing? Brothers and sisters, have you become wealthy since you came among us? If you have truly become wealthy, quickly give a like so I can know. See that? It's real; the likes are sliding upwards one after another. This isn't me making it up; it's real, not hype; I'm a professional anti-hype hotline service provider.

Today, I want to tell you that making money is not as good as gaining God's glory; making money can never compare to earning God's glory. I have chosen the best profession in the world; I have chosen the best blessing in the world: to be a priest of the living God and a faithful priest of the living God! You should know what priests do, right? They serve God, bringing down God's glory, which is the best way to solve humanity's problems. It’s excellent! How can I put it? Quickly come with me; what are you waiting for?

Many years ago, I hyped it up a bit because the church at that time really didn't see much of God's glory, only hopes, just like when Isaiah wrote the Book of Isaiah, he didn't see it either. But he dared to write: Arise, shine! At that time, there was no light; it was all darkness. At that time, I said to our brothers and sisters: Being a priest is the best profession. Many people said, What? The best profession? Doesn't look like it at all. It didn't look like it back then, but it looks like it now, right? As a result, they were really influenced by me. Actually, I wasn't hyping it up; I really believed it, but the conditions weren't mature yet. Later, they all quit their jobs and came to me and said, Teacher, I've quit my job. I said, Then what are you going to do? Did you find a job? He said, No, I want to come to the church to be a priest. Oh my goodness! I said, Our church's salary will be used up in six months. Though the salary was supposed to be used up in six months, it hasn't been used up to this day. Over these years, have our co-workers regretted it? No, they haven't. Have they seen God's glory? Yes, they have.

I tell you, many people in that era said, Can that stuff be eaten? People who have lived in poverty for a long time have developed a habit of only caring about eating. When we were little, we often couldn't get enough to eat. My mom would steam a cover of buns, and five children would rush up, and in five or ten seconds, they would all be gone. If you were a little slow, you wouldn't get any. So, we developed the habit: Can that stuff be eaten? Hearing this kind of talk means you've come from a poor background. People nowadays don't say it as much anymore. The post-90s and post-00s don't say, Can that stuff be eaten? They'd probably say, Can that stuff be used to scroll through on a phone? That's roughly what they mean. Nowadays, many diseases are caused by overeating. When I was little, there weren't so many diseases. At that time, technology and medicine weren't as developed, but there were fewer diseases. Now, three highs [high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol] are caused by overeating, plus贪 others' property, earning some curses, earning some diseases, and then worrying about not being able to excrete it all. Alas, tragedy! But my line of work is good; my line of work can not only be eaten, but also allows many people to have food to eat. With God's glory, we don't lack food or money.

So, some people, with a businessman's mentality, always want to earn some blessings. Yesterday, a co-worker told me about someone in their pastoral district who was quite interesting: Ah, God, bless me, come on, bless me. After a while, they came to our co-worker and said, Teacher, you're a liar; it doesn't work. Why doesn't it work? It was done wrong! Does anything work if it’s done wrong? Because in the past, when he listened to my sermons, he wanted God's grace, he wanted God's blessing, but when it came to God's glory, he thought, Can that stuff be eaten? As a result, he went to eat, eating up a lot of curses. So, doing it wrong is very powerful, instantly sealing his mouth. Why? Because he only pursued God's blessing, forgetting God's glory. Actually, I tell you, many people are pondering this matter with a businessman's mentality, which will definitely ruin you completely. So, serving God with a businessman's mentality is a big problem; if you do it wrong, you not only don't get anything good, but you also get some curses!

There are many people who serve God with a businessman's mentality because they are businessmen, and the habits of businessmen are hard to change, very hard to change. If you are a businessman among us, you must be careful; if you are a poor person among us, you must also be careful. Why? Because that logical system is too stubborn. There's a saying that it's unethical for a businessman not to make money. But does that mean that if you make money, you are ethical? The money you earn is also unrighteous wealth. It's not that the wealth is unrighteous in itself; all the wealth in the world is called unrighteous wealth.

Blessing is not earned; you don't get it just by chasing after it. You can only get blessing by pursuing God's glory; that's my greatest discovery. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Stop messing around; can't mess around anymore; that stuff doesn't work, understand? When I see people messing around with woodworking or messing around with writing software, I get annoyed. You should know that Chinese Mingding Destiny is a theology for building glorious churches. Without God's glory, living in darkness, how can that be a church? That's called a un-church. Un-church and church are worlds apart. Building a church is not building a un-church. Building a church needs neither people nor money; all it needs is God's glory.

Everyone should know that I have backbone. In the early years, the church was very desolate. When one person left, 50 percent of the members were gone. Later, I said before God, Even if I'm the only one left, I will build a glorious church of God. That's how you build a church, unlike some pastors who are always pulling people back, begging them. Those are not shining priests, those are darkened priests, with darkened foreheads. What building a church needs is God's glory. I tell you, with God's glory and God's presence, God will surely raise you up among all peoples and make you a shining priest. What a unique priestly model this is! This is the greatest discovery of this generation.

In the business world, the model for making money is called a business model: a team plus core technology. Investors are all looking for business models. When they see that BYD's business model is good, with a very good team—that's very impressive—and then they have core technology, money pours in, right? That's the logic of businessmen. The business world is the business world, and the divine realm is the divine realm. In the divine realm, or in the spiritual realm, there is also a formula called the priestly model, which is to give freely. Everyone is a giver; everyone brings offerings, not to earn, and no one earns from offerings.

So, this priestly model, plus faithful priests, plus a theology for building glorious churches of God, is our core technology. Therefore, in the spiritual realm, or in the divine realm, using the logic of the business world is seeking death; that's where the tragedy lies. So, the church comes up with a whole bunch of traditions, management systems, and so on, but in the end, it's useless. Engaging in our priestly profession requires using the logic of serving God; if you engage in business, you use the logic of business. Some people ask me, Can you use the logic of the priest when doing business? Yes, why not? I tell you, using the logic of the priest to do business is even better than using the logic of business.

I tell you, money cannot solve any problems; only God can solve problems. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to be used by God to found this Chinese Mingding Destiny. That's a priestly model plus a team of faithful priests, plus our core technology, which is a theological system for building glorious churches of God. So, today's topic is taken from Isaiah chapter 60, and this chapter is referring to us. Why take this chapter? Because this chapter is referring to us. It wasn't fulfilled in Isaiah's time, but it has been fulfilled in our generation; how fortunate we are to live in this generation! Arise, shine! The glory of God is shining upon you.

Today, we must begin to pursue more of God's glory. There is a sentence here that I originally wanted to use as today's theme, which is: The wealth of the nations shall come to you. Although such a topic is eye-catching, I later realized that it is not the theme. If the wealth comes to you, it will bring everyone's attention only to money, and that’s not the point. If someone can Arise, shine! The glory of God is shining upon you, I tell you, that's amazing!

II. Scripture

Let's look at today's scripture together, Isaiah 60:1-6:

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. “Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm. Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord. (Isaiah 60:1-6)

May this word be fulfilled in us.

III. Prayer

God, according to Isaiah's prophecy, do a miracle among us today, which is to let us become a group of people who arise and shine. May your glorious temple be built up, and may your faithful priests gather here. God, raise us up and let us be your shining people in this generation, manifesting your glory. God, may you use us, reveal yourself to us, and continuously lead us into your deeper glory. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen!

IV. The Background of This Passage

The background of this passage has a very interesting characteristic. If you read from Isaiah chapter 59 continuously to chapter 60, you will feel surprised. Chapter 59 speaks many words of severe judgment, and at chapter 60 it begins to speak of arising, shining. So what exactly is going on? I later thought, what exactly is Isaiah doing? When a priest brings a businessman's mentality, he brings in chapter 59; when a priest serves God with a priest's mentality, he brings in chapter 60. So in today's generation, if you carefully observe, what kind of phenomenon do you observe? You observe a very interesting phenomenon, which is that in this generation there is an American prophet who summarized the history of Christianity. He said: In Europe, the church became a tradition; when it came to the land of America, Americans built the church into a business. Amazing! Because businessmen or entrepreneurs, not theologians. This prophet's saying is quite interesting; he says that the church in America has become a business. This is their own comment; we don't know much about it, and I can only say that I have heard it indirectly.

So where should the church go next? I tell you, it will be the turn of us Chinese. The Chinese will build a glorious church of God, the Chinese will restore the purity of theology, and the Chinese will be raised up in this generation to become vessels that manifest God's glory. That will be extraordinary! Actually, this is not what I said; it is what this prophet said. You say I am someone who likes to be sentimental; why do I like to be sentimental? Because after this prophet finished speaking, I said, Ah, this is referring to us. I really like to be sentimental. Isaiah's Isaiah chapter 60 is all referring to us; the good things are all ours. This prophet is talking about us, and then another prophet, he is also talking about us; anyway, we want all the good things.

What is the difference between Isaiah chapter 59 and chapter 60? You have built the church into a business, using the business model to manage it. You should know that pastors all have to be invited by phone, what with the evangelistic teams and pastors of large churches; they all have a financial arrangement. Someone like me doesn’t have a financial arrangement, and I don’t use a secretary or bodyguards. Powerful large churches are very powerful to the extent of being more business-like than business. The bodyguard who wears black leather jacket and sunglasses looks more impressive than the pastor, who can focus on the bodyguard. What I mean is that a church is run even more like a business than business. If you want a big-name pastor to make an appearance, what is the starting price? Fifty thousand, five thousand, five hundred. People ask me, What is your starting price? I said, Zero. Because this is not the logic of a businessman; this is the logic of a priest. I tell you that later, many things happened with those who build glorious churches of God with the logic of a businessman. Give them Isaiah, chapter 59; that’s all about God’s judgment.

Today I am delivering this sermon and I was hoping brothers and sisters can value the glory of God, longing to become the faithful priest of the Lord God. We arise shine; they arise, grow dark. Are shinning and growing in darkness the same thing? So, you need to start understand. What is Isaiah chapter 60 about? Chapter 7 tells us that I will glorify my house.

The flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple. (Isaiah 60:7)

So the glory from establishing glorious church of God immediately understood, glory of God to full fulfill His glorious temple, Tell you guys, the greatest discovery of Chinese Mingding Destiny, is how to establish full of God’s glory church. You have to know that if anyone is willing, Chinese Mingding Destiny is provided free of charge. To know that to what extent those internet we rent server and etc., the amount of traffic that goes out, every month it needs to spend so much money. They click for free, you click also free, but the money spent by us. Isn’t they put the money into other people’s pocket. Yes.

City of church, Jehovah, mountain Zion by Israeli, all of these refers towards Church of God which is talking about. So beloved brothers and sisters every time I say maybe already feel cocoon on ears, but whether this events can to enter deep within our heart? If able to enter deep within our heart, deep down start have to yearn start establishing glorious church of God with mind say that oh I want to establish glorious church of God. Tell you guys, have blessing, if that big of blessing. The power of Hades do not over win you, the power of Hades even step under feet, and devils grind your on floor, then inside to spiritual world become a famous person inside. Wow this kind is to much to take.

Today beloved sisters and brothers thousand remember don’t put focus eyes on gold, frankincense, don’t even set big sea which contain wealth onto your mind, thousand also don’t set national treasury set it on to your heart, thousand also don’t put your mom apartment onto your heart, don’t set retirement pension on your mind, you have to put the glory of God onto your heart, it handle soon. If this generation either church also ok, still on this on to earth, which tribe, which nation which don’t serve God sure to be destroyed, for sure fully abandoned! Wow I say this good sentences, have people which had understand me? I tell everyone guys, you don’t have to worry about life, get son don’t help old age. If it have glory of God everything don’t have to worry about getting old, isn’t that. I really hope that can beloved brother and sisters to know that, if able to the future hospital bed and give all time spent on God, and the future get to dementia time spent on God, do God loyal priest, what is the great chance? Raise what what what get old to serve God. The background of these scripture.

To understand Isaiah I already written on up, middle, lower this three books. Isaiah total 66 chapter each of those 20 plus chapter becomes a single book or become three books and many words, At least about 30 to 40 words. [Becoming the priest for the Jehovah God] just to the title of the book, everyone if feels for interested which Isaiah, Can turn to the book. That because many years ago I saying, but to day I feel still good.

V. Arise shine, The glory of God that will shine for you

Arise shine, God’s glory is to shine for you. To understanding the situation talking? It is under darkest covered ground. Gloom cover all nation background reflected. All things are like. When darkness cover the ground, gloom cover nations, but God glory yet for shine for you. The original is just very is easy. Dark why cover on ground? Because everyone to living for money. If would live a life for formal official, and must manage to make the region which is economy okay, just money. But the question came for which under this background if someone groups of group following models living is more for following God true shining to living this. Then get God’s to shine, to be life of shinning.

Taiwan if have a person’s which Famous, which name is Light from Taiwan, and it wealth up, even powerful inside there already. Then someone says I want to grow become light from Yantai, I grow to become light from Shiyan, To grow to become light from Wuhan, which is to glow to be even okay to place and influence, then powerful inside there as well. So about the events shine, should be a honor and fame even okay which is perfect things which happening. How you say is to described those to? The words I know here are already limited. Should be okay things happenings, wow is even greater, even shining events. What am talking about just to described there isn’t that for to the contents.

Then for to become for to split apart. a shine which for became. Wealth which grew its a dark wealth, get the glory of God which isn’t inside the wealth

I know that the churches, from the pastors to the smallest members, are all doing MLM. Some time ago, I went to see a pastor, and I immediately introduced him to Chinese Mingding Destiny. He immediately introduced me to an MLM product he was doing. He bought a Japanese device for more than 5,000 Singapore dollars, and he told me that he had sold hundreds of them, all to church members. Later, I discovered that a sister's classmate in our midst had a very serious illness in another church. As a result, their church's cell group leader and pastor didn't introduce Jesus when they came up, but introduced the MLM health products they were selling. He knew a lot about that set of MLM health products, he knew all about the deception, he himself deceived people. Later, they came to us, and we prayed with him, but it was still a bit difficult to restore his priestly mindset.

Know that the glorious church, if we live long enough, in the history of Christianity, our period of history will be written in the history of Christianity, that is definitely the Chinese Mingding Destiny for building a glorious church. That is the greatest discovery of this generation, this is the era when we are raised up and shine. We have all abandoned those lowly things and begun to be holy, glorious, and honorable vessels. Does everyone want to be raised up? Do you want to be a shining person? To be a vessel that manifests God's glory is really wonderful! If you are a royal priest, I tell you, filled with God's glory, the things you touch will change.

Know that there is something very peculiar about me, of course it's not moral kidnapping, don't get me wrong. Some time ago, I went to see a business run by one of our members. Actually, our members are really blessed among us. When he took over the management of this business, it was at its lowest point. The reputation was very bad, everything was rotten, very terrible. As a result, when he started taking over this business among us, the whole business started to improve. That his business is a school, and the most important thing for this school is enrollment, schools need to enroll students. I tell you, I am especially concerned about his blessed situation, I always have to ask him. Then I asked him how it was going, and he said: Oh, the enrollment was full in two days, and some places had to be reserved, for fear that someone would ask for favors or find someone to get in. Oh, I thought it was so good. So when I saw him, the first thing I wanted to tell him was: Don't focus on business, focus on God's glory! I encouraged him, knowing that God wants to make him the light of the local area, and he will be a faithful priest of God. And then I tell you, many people will come to his light.

The light of God's glory that we have discovered is the greatest discovery of this generation. So many people have to come and see, it's amazing, it works, it definitely works! I tell you, if it doesn't work, it's because you got it wrong. I tell you not to have a mindset of poverty, but you have to have a mindset of poverty; I tell you to have a priestly mindset, but you have a mindset of a businessman. That's very troublesome, it doesn't work.

Six, Nations Shall Come to Your Light

Nations shall come to your light, do you understand? That is, to bask in your light. Know that many times people like to hitch a ride, does everyone understand this sentence? Hitch a ride, ride the traffic. That is, nations shall come to bask in your light. Then why? The reason is very simple, there is God's glory here, because the problems that money can solve are very limited, and many problems cannot be solved with money. I once knew a wealthy friend who came to Singapore for treatment, found the best hospital and was admitted, but died after entering, and spent millions. That was not basking in the light, but in the dark. Know that the problems in this world, we all regard the economy, money as very serious problems, if the economy is not good, isn't it troublesome?

Many times, we think that the economy has economic laws, but economic laws are not as good as God's laws. What are God's laws? God's laws are blessings poured out from heaven. Why did this happen to you? Not many problems in this world can be solved with money, but this world revolves around money, around the economy. Why? Because this world is in a logical system. For example, if you occupy half of the resources, I will occupy half, if you occupy 60%, I can only occupy 40%, this is the logic of the world. If you have God's logic, the logic of a priest, that is, the glory of God that we have discovered, He is an open system, many resources are poured down from heaven. How are they poured down from heaven? That's amazing, it's not anything else, it's very simple for God to give you some blessings, isn't it?

Let me give you an example: In the Golden Triangle area of Thailand, there is a piece of land that is barren, and someone sold it cheaply. Later, someone took me there to see it, and the local pastor who bought the land shared with me his experience. That is, the person who owned the land before could not find water even after drilling sixty meters. If a piece of land cannot find water, cannot dig a well, that piece of land is useless. Don't know what to do, you can't possibly transport water to the mountain. As a result, this local pastor bought the entire mountain, and he lay on this land and prayed. Interesting, I tell you, God is really God! After praying for a month, drilling three meters, water came out. Later, after I went, there were fish ponds on the mountain, and there was also a pig farm, he did a lot of these things. Is God amazing? Where did the water come from? I ask you, why couldn't the previous person drill sixty meters and find water, but he drilled three meters and water gushed out? God did it! God makes it have if He wants it to have, and God makes it not have if He doesn't want it to have.

So many things in this world are closed, called zero-sum game, have you heard of this term? That is, if you have more, I have less, and if I have more, you have less, that's the logic. But in God's kingdom, it is an open system, its total amount is constantly increasing, our God is so amazing! I have a lot of things to talk about about my experiences, I never lack money. So, today brothers and sisters, if you can find a priestly model, God's glory is poured out on you, all nations will come to bask in your light. I ask you, can money solve the problem of disease? My friend left millions and died, money was useless. But I tell you, the diseases that I have prayed for are all things that money cannot solve. Science is developed, but there are more diseases, and the lifespan is longer, but the happiness index has decreased. But I tell you, if a person has a priestly way of thinking, a priestly model, and becomes a faithful priest of the eternal God, he will lack nothing!

When I was little, I was so happy, few people got sick, very happy, I was very happy playing with mud and mud dolls, now there are many children with depression, we didn't have many people with depression back then, we didn't hear about it. So today brothers and sisters, do you know? I want to teach and train everyone to become a faithful priest centered on God, and then many people will come to the brilliance you have discovered to bask in your light. God is the key to solving problems, and a priest is one who has great glory and great ability. In this world, as long as he is a person, no matter what position he holds, his family's problems are as many as ours. Isn't it? Being a big official, listening to his wife at home, no matter how big an official, giving his wife a back massage at home or something. So what am I saying? That is, all nations will come to bask in our light, even kings will come, because their problems cannot be solved, what can you do if the problems cannot be solved? Need God!

So I once thought about one thing, why do we have to constantly improve our height and expand our knowledge? No matter how much money you have in this generation, it's useless, very hard. Is our happiness index high? High, how high is our happiness index! Start trusting God well, never worrying or worrying, the future will definitely be better than today, tomorrow will be better than today. That's not like the old lady's New Year, getting worse every day, we are priests celebrating the New Year, getting more prosperous every year, and more glorious every year! High happiness index. So brothers and sisters, you have to know this, many people really need shepherding, you have to constantly improve. So sometimes I think the grace God has given me is too great, and I am still constantly learning and growing to this day. I can chat with the old lady who sweeps the floor; I can also chat well with big entrepreneurs. In the future, all of our pastors will have to improve, and after they improve, they can shepherd these people who need shepherding very much. All nations will come to bask in our light, what can you do if you don't shepherd? Kings will come to bask in God's glory, you have to know how to do it.

Seven, All Shall Gather to You Here

All shall gather to us here, know why all gather to us here? Because they are all coming to receive blessings. So can you imagine, if many people need blessings, what can I do alone? I have to train you to do it, so all shall gather to us here. Speaking of this, I sometimes like to be lively, wherever I go, there are people, it's very lively. Why? They can get some heat, bask in some light, get some of God's glory, get some blessings. I tell you, all these people come to me, I have a priestly mindset. I don't care what they are like, although sometimes I correct them, say something to them, say it a bit heavily, but I still give it to them freely. Here we give it out freely, we want to give out the word of life, this is my job, it's not that I want to get your money into my pocket. So don't worry, I don't want to get your money into my pocket, I want to get money into your pocket. The best profession in this world is being a priest, but many people don't know.

Know that those online influencers who are the most popular, what do they do? Teach people how to make money. Those influencers who teach people how to make money are very popular, because too many people want to make money. But today I, this pastor, this priest, am not very popular. Why? I teach people to give out blessings, to give out the word of God, to teach people to be a blessing to others, that's my job. In fact, my job is one level higher than their job. So, God's will is really for those of us with a priestly mindset to become people who are raised up and shine. Lift up your eyes and look, there are many needs in this generation, if you can't see this need, then you are in trouble, your spiritual eyes have to be opened. If you open your eyes to look, there are countless souls struggling in the darkness. Today, brothers and sisters, we have to constantly improve. Constantly making children cry is elementary school stuff, if you can't even make children cry, what else can you do? Making adults cry, adults crying in their hearts, their eyes not crying, holding on in front of you, putting on a false face, and finally committing suicide out of discomfort. Do you say there is a lot of need? There is a lot of need, too much!

Many officials are very tired, is it easy to serve the people? It's not easy to serve the people, it requires a lot of God! I have been to several cities, those cities, oh, it seems like there is no industry, no anything, where does the government tax revenue come from? They really need God's blessing. The officials in that area often really need God, because they have no faith. Looking at those places, they look like cities from thirty years ago, dirty and messy, and everything requires money. I tell you, having God's blessing is great! So from today onwards, no matter who we meet, if we meet nations, meet kings, give him faith, let him know that God is the God who blesses us; if we meet the people, that is, the common people, we will give them faith, give them blessings. Have you all noticed that when I give you faith, you feel comfortable, right? Feeling uncomfortable when you come, feeling better after listening to what I said.

From life to death, during this period of time in the world, the work of training people is the responsibility of us priests, that is, training people how to live out God's glory, to be a blessing to that place, to be the value of that place, not to be a burden on society, but to be an asset of this place, this is our job. What the church is doing today is far from enough, in the past, the church trained people to become very religious people, but today we want to train people to become vessels full of God's glory, to become people who manifest God's glory. Look: Arise, shine, God's glory shines on you. What do you want to do? To become a blessing to all nations! This is our vision and mission, arise, shine, all nations will come to bask in our light, all will gather here.

Eight, God's Children Shall Come from Afar

God's children shall come from afar, to do what? To receive God's glory, to build God's glorious temple together! God's children have actually been in desolate days for a long time, today looking around, is the church desolate? How many thirsty souls are shouting there? How many people need to receive the blessings of Chinese Mingding Destiny? Too many. So today those of us who are gathered, type a message to tell me where you are, in which region of which country you are. God's children shall come from afar, let's see if we are God's children coming from afar? Wow, so many, from all over the place, great! There are people from Taiwan, Australia, Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia, wow, there are also people from Japan? Great! Are God's children coming from afar? I tell you, when Isaiah wrote this passage, he thought of traveling by boat and walking. Good heavens, walking for a year, a long march of thousands of miles? Today, we can gather anytime and anywhere, 24 hours a day. We haven't had 48-hour or 72-hour prayer meetings for a long time, next we can do it again. Oh, it's lively, so lively!

So today brothers and sisters, do you know? Those who have a destiny have all come, those who want to be priests, those who want to be a blessing to others, those who want to serve, those who want to pay the price, those who want to obtain God's glory, those who want to be a blessing to all nations on earth have all come. I tell you, is Isaiah's prophecy being fulfilled in this generation? Isaiah's prophecy is just beginning to be fulfilled in our midst. So God's children will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in their arms.

Lift up your eyes and look about you; all assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip. (Isaiah 60:4)

It's really like this, being carried together. As long as there is a network. Time and space cannot stop God's glory. What we are doing today, Isaiah never thought of, he did not solve the problem of how to come, he did not know how to come, but today he opens his cell phone and clicks and comes. Great! What Isaiah said in chapter 60 is about to be fulfilled in our midst. Isn't this being fulfilled?

Nine, The Wealth of the Nations Shall Come to You

The wealth of the nations shall come to you, I originally wanted to use this sentence as the theme, but I only got to this point when I talked about the ninth point. Maybe you have been thinking about this sentence for a long time, thinking: Why hasn't it come yet? Why hasn't the wealth of the nations come yet? This time I finally got to the ninth point, the wealth of the nations will come to you. How is this sentence said?

Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah; and all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord. (Isaiah 60:5)

Great! Has this sentence been fulfilled or not? It is about to be fulfilled! The eighth point has been fulfilled, how is it possible that the ninth point will not be fulfilled? If this matter is about to be fulfilled, then it will be amazing! Later I discovered that the Bible often has a double meaning, why is it called a double meaning? Today brothers and sisters, you have to know, people are the most valuable, people are more valuable than money, people are more valuable than houses, so you are all treasures in my eyes, do you say that the wealth of all nations has returned? The wealth of the seas, the wealth of the nations, this is the mindset of a priest. I tell you, the mindset of a priest is too attractive, businessmen attract money, priests attract people. Today we must catch people like catching fish, and we catch all treasures, don't catch a boatload of garbage, we don't want garbage.

I tell you, whatever we do today must prosper, today we are priests of Jehovah God, whatever we do has blessings from heaven, whatever we do must prosper, and whatever we do has God's glory. I tell you, this is the greatest discovery of Chinese Mingding Destiny, the wealth of the nations will come to you. Of course you are all treasures, you accumulate the treasures at home, and the treasures will all come. So whether you look at it with spiritual eyes or with the eyes of people living, I tell you, there is never a shortage of treasures. We want to be a blessing to all nations on earth, how can we be a blessing to others if we are not prosperous? Others say: I see, you should bless yourself first, I see you bless yourself first. Now we don't need to bless ourselves too much, we are so prosperous that we can bless others.

Ten, Summary

Isaiah chapter 60 verse 7 says this:

All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple. (Isaiah 60:7)

All the key lies in this sentence, God wants to glorify His glorious temple, so we are working with God to build God's glorious temple, we are priests of the living God, this is the best blessing. All that I have said is to hope that everyone will transform this closed, merchant-like logical system into an open, priestly logical system. What we need is not given by people, but is supplied by God. Know that many people in history wanted to build God's temple, including Nehemiah, Ezra, Zerubbabel, and Malachi, many, did they build it? Later, as they built, it became desolate. Why? Because there was only one Nehemiah at that time, and when Nehemiah left that place, that place immediately became desolate. Because there was only one Nehemiah who wanted to build the walls of God's city and build God's temple.

But today Chinese Mingding Destiny has made a great decision, which is to train every brother and sister in our midst to be Nehemiahs of all sizes. Know what Nehemiah can do? Nehemiah can build city walls, build temples, do management, Nehemiah is very good at动手, do you think she just serves wine? No. He can easily manage a province or a country, he is a management talent. So what we are building today is definitely not just me, I have worked hard to train our brothers and sisters, our pastors and co-workers to become Nehemiahs of all sizes, this is what I am going to do. Today it is developing vigorously.

Every brother and sister, bring out all the talents within you, bring out all that one talent that God has given you completely, and dig out your potential. People lack nothing, but lack God's glory, let the light of God's glory shine on us, and the potential within us will be completely excavated. Whatever you do prospers, God's glorious temple will be built in our generation, not when I am here, even if I die, God's glorious temple will still stand firm! Because it is not me, it is God's will, so what I do today is to build brothers and sisters into Nehemiahs of all sizes, each one a manager. When our Lord Jesus comes, He will call us faithful and good servants. Amen!

Let's sing a hymn to prepare for today's offering. Some people say: Didn't you say you were going to give it away, how come you are still collecting offerings? Doesn't that seem self-contradictory? That's not self-contradictory. Giving is not to collect your money, but to give you more blessings. If you don't understand the meaning of giving, please don't give, because the church doesn't lack money. Every brother and sister must be raised up and begin to declare: We must be raised up to become vessels that manifest God's glory. Amen! No matter how dark this generation is, we still define ourselves as a blessing to this generation; no matter how selfish this generation is, we must still be a blessing to this generation. This is our office, this is our destiny, this is our choice, to build God's glorious church. Whoever comes among us, no matter what attitude he has, bless him. God's light must shine on us, we lift up our eyes and look around, you must see the needs of this generation, not problems that money can solve, but problems that God's glory can solve.

Raise your hands and pray with me, I say one sentence and everyone say one sentence with me: God, use me, I want to be Your faithful priest, God, raise me up in this generation, manifest Your glory. God I thank You, for bringing me into this glorious church, may Your glory fill us more, may Your wonderful actions be manifested more, in the name of Jesus Christ. God, accept my offering, accept me, I am willing to offer myself as a living sacrifice, to become a faithful priest. 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 this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are Yours, forever. Amen!

May God bless everyone!
