Good day to all. Today, I want to share a very interesting topic with everyone, which is Victorious Disciples. It is a great tragedy for a person to live their entire life without victory. Not just for individuals, but also for a nation to be defeated, to be ground under someone else's feet, to be defeated and then have to pay gold and silver as indemnity. Why? Because if you are defeated, you have to pay tribute. Therefore, I fervently hope that the concept of victory is deeply ingrained in the hearts of every brother and sister. If you were to ask me today: Why does someone among us encounter misfortune as soon as they believe in the Lord, and their son drowns at the age of twenty? I tell you: it is because of a lack of victory. If the church is not victorious, it is even more difficult for the members to be victorious. Therefore, the concept of victory permeates almost every aspect of our lives. If every corner of our lives is filled with the taste of victory, wow, I tell you, you will prosper throughout your life!

I urge everyone not to shortchange themselves any longer. We cannot continue to live in decadence. Decadence is not the solution, and you will pay the price for your decadence. A person who is not victorious has to pay the price for their lack of victory. But I want to tell you that the price of victory is far less than the price of defeat. In fact, the entire Bible speaks of victory. For example, in the Old Testament, the Israelites could not enter the Promised Land if they were not victorious. They could not enter the Promised Land, and as a result, they perished in the wilderness. What a tragedy! They ruined such a good thing, playing a winning hand so badly. Who could you complain to?

When I first believed in the Lord, I liked to delve into these things. Intellectuals like to scrutinize. I thought, this Promised Land was promised to Abraham by God. God said, Abraham, I will give this land to you and your descendants! I thought that was great. God had already given me this land. I could slip on a pair of flip-flops, dangle a bunch of keys, wear shorts, and a tank top, and stroll right in. How wonderful! But that's not how it was. The Israelites had to take up swords and guns to fight their way in. I wondered, was it they who conquered it, or was it God who gave it to them? Later, I realized that I couldn't think that way. How should I think? It was indeed given to them by God, but if you are not victorious, you will not get it. That's the logic.

Therefore, many people come to Chinese Mingding Destiny. They don't know what the church is called. The name Mingding Destiny Church sounds a bit strange, so they call it the victorious church. It's hard not to receive grace when you come to this victorious church because I repeatedly convey this concept of victory. Even if you don't want to listen, you have to listen. Therefore, from Genesis to Revelation, it's all about the concept of victory. If you are not victorious, the Israelites are defeated, robbed, and trampled upon. It's a miserable state! So today, I must tell you that the Book of Revelation contains letters to the seven churches, which speak of how the victorious will be. Brothers and sisters, pay attention. If a word appears repeatedly in the Bible, and if it is repeated three times, you should be cautious. If it is repeated seven times, you should be very, very careful. Therefore, victory is the central theme of the entire Gospel in the Bible. Victory leads to the possession of the Promised Land. This is a fundamental concept of our Chinese Mingding Destiny. So, the problem lies in a lack of victory.

Yesterday, someone asked me: Teacher, our neighbor, who had just believed in the Lord, lost his twenty-year-old son in a drowning accident. I have seen this kind of phenomenon countless times. Some time ago, someone asked me: Teacher, why did I go to jail after he baptized me? I said: You believed wrongly. This generation is full of a gospel of defeat. What is their gospel? Going to heaven after death. All they want is for you to make a decision to believe in the Lord. As for whether you are victorious or not, whether they are victorious or not, no one really cares about that. Therefore, a non-victorious church brings a non-victorious gospel, and a non-victorious gospel brings about this series of problems. So, Revelation speaks of how the victorious will be. Only the victorious can claim God's promises and enter the Promised Land. It's a very simple principle.

Chinese Mingding Destiny is not about recruiting people into a religion, but about leading people into victory. So, brothers and sisters, you must know that the topic I want to share with you today is Victorious Disciples. You may think that victory seems difficult, but it's not. For example, when doing something small, if you are not victorious, why? Because you don't deem it worthy of doing, you are too lazy to do it. It's too small. And when it comes to doing something big, you can't do it. Have you noticed that there are many such people? When I minister, I find that there are so many people like this. They don't like to do what they can overcome, and they insist on doing what they can't overcome. They are defeated as soon as they try. Therefore, everyone should have the concept of victory, starting with small things. Know that some people specifically choose to do those high-end things, and they fail as soon as they try because they can't manage it, they can't do it. They don't want to do the small things, and they can't do the big things. That's how it is. I get anxious when I see it, and when I get anxious, I offend God.

For example, if a person is not good-looking, people in Northeast China don't say that the person is ugly. They say that the person looks anxious. Did they say the person was ugly? No, but saying that the person looks anxious is even worse than saying that the person is ugly. That is, they don't like to do small things, and they can't do big things. Know that I have a habit, and I must tell you today, start with small things, specifically do a small thing, and make it successful. Then do something a little bigger, and make it successful. As our abilities continue to improve, we will do what we can do in a down-to-earth manner. Not only do I do things this way, but I also lead my team to do things this way. I will never give you a task that you can't handle. If I give you a task that you can't handle, I'm afraid you will be defeated. I will do it with you.

Therefore, you are blessed to be my co-worker. I often say to my co-workers: Don't worry, what's the rush? The sky won't fall. Just do it well in a down-to-earth manner. Some people don't do it this way. The company doesn't even have a shadow yet, and they are in a hurry to go public. Know that this mentality of going public is very evil. Do you know why people want to go public? They just want to deceive people's money, cash out, and harvest others. How evil is that? Isn't it? Fortunately, he didn't succeed. If he had succeeded, many people would have been harvested by him. Wouldn't people curse him? There would be a bunch of people cursing him behind his back. How could he be okay? To put it nicely, it's called financing. I don't like this. I like to get things done. I must tell you that as long as it's a project I do, no matter what project it is, it will definitely be successful. To this day, there hasn't been a single defeat. That's called a victorious mindset.

Later, I found that people are quite interesting. Please don't blame me for saying this. Some people give themselves a name called Joy, but later I found that they are not joyful. Some people give themselves a name called Victory, but in reality, they are not victorious. Have you noticed? Why? They think that giving themselves a name will solve the problem, but it's not. Giving yourself a name doesn't solve the problem. Grasping the essence of things is the key. Know that shouting slogans is useless. Ah, I want to be victorious! Useless. Start from the ground up, little by little.

For example, if I can carry ten kilograms of things, I will do a good job of carrying ten kilograms. If I can't carry fifty kilograms, I will carry ten kilograms. Later, as I work, I can carry twenty kilograms. I will carry twenty kilograms. I will never take a hundred kilograms or two hundred kilograms of things that I can't lift and strain myself, trying desperately to be victorious. Victory in what? If you lift it up and then get crushed underneath it, that's a problem. Cultivating a victorious mindset must start from being down-to-earth.

Today, I must tell you about the faith in Jesus Christ. When you first believe in the Lord, when you are very young, you don't have to worry. Some pastors are quite bad. They say: There are gaps in people, so demons can enter and exit at will. They scare some brothers and sisters, saying, Oh no, there are too many gaps in my body. I reasoned about it and said that a person who has just believed in the Lord has gaps all over his body. What do you do then? Wouldn't you scare him? I tell you, when you first believe in the Lord, God uses grace to make up for your shortcomings. But grace is definitely not an excuse for you not to grow. God uses grace to protect your shortcomings, and then you still have to grow, little by little. What you can do, God lets you do, so that you can be victorious. What you can't do, God uses grace to make up for you. Never believe in any gap theory. There is no such thing in the Bible. Therefore, know that God predestines you to be victorious, God hopes you to be victorious, and God wants you to be victorious!

For example, when the Israelites entered Canaan, God had already made them victorious. As long as they went in, they would be victorious. How difficult is that? It's not a difficult thing. Brothers and sisters, know that God has given us a magic weapon for victory, which is the precious blood of Jesus Christ and the word we bear witness to. The word we bear witness to, this is very interesting. I must explain it to you. And they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. This must be a victory. Those who cherish their own lives, the blood of the Lamb cannot help them. People cherish themselves too much and are afraid of suffering when they encounter difficulties. How can they be victorious? If they are not victorious in small things, how can they be victorious in big things?

II. Scripture

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11)

III. Prayer

God! Give us such courage today. Give us such insight today. Open our spiritual eyes and let us know that You have predestined us to be victorious. Since You have predestined us to be victorious, what are we still afraid of? Since You have given us eternal life in ourselves, what are we still afraid of? God! Lead us today to rely on the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, to no longer fear death, to no longer be afraid, and to no longer cherish our own lives. Today, I want to offer my life. May You accept our offerings, protect us, and enable us to love You more than we love everything else. God! May Your victory come upon us, descend upon us. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

IV. Scriptural Background

The background of this passage is a very interesting situation. Who wrote this passage? Revelation was written by John. Who is John? John is a disciple whom Jesus liked very much. Why did Jesus like John? I guess John had a victorious character from childhood. This John actually built the church with Peter in Jerusalem. He personally witnessed the early history of building the church in Jerusalem. That history witnessed a non-victorious situation. He personally witnessed the decline of the church in Jerusalem and concluded that it was because of a lack of victory.

Why was there a lack of victory? There are several things here. First, the theological system of the Jerusalem Church was very chaotic, and it made the concept of discipleship extremely chaotic. Second, aren't we talking about victorious disciples today? To be a victorious disciple, you must follow what Jesus said: loving parents cannot surpass loving Jesus. Loving Jesus and loving the Kingdom of God, we must not take this matter lightly. There are many pastors who love their wives more than they love God, and there are many pastors who love their children more than they love God. Not to mention Christians. How can they be victorious? Therefore, John personally witnessed this period of history, which was a theological mess because they lacked the concept of victory. There was only grace, but there was a lack of victory.

How was there a lack of victory? In that era, under Peter's leadership, the theological system of the church was not established. In fact, Peter was not a person who established a theological system. And the shepherding of the church, the training of the church to become disciples of Jesus Christ, was extremely lacking in that era. In other words, the Jerusalem Church even defiled the word disciple. Later people were unwilling to use it. Whoever believed in the Lord, no one knew whether he had forsaken these things or those things for God. No one talked about it. No, he became a disciple. So the word disciple was defiled. Old John witnessed that period of history, and later the church became very desolate. Then, in his old age, he was exiled on the island of Patmos. He summed up these things and wrote Revelation.

When he wrote Revelation, one of the most important concepts was victory. In fact, at the beginning of Revelation, the seven letters that God wrote to the messengers of the seven churches did not even include the Jerusalem Church. Isn't that strange? Old John was the leader of the Jerusalem Church, the third-in-command. God didn't write to the Jerusalem Church. Why? Because it was not victorious. Therefore, when he was writing Revelation, he clearly highlighted the concept of victory throughout the entire theology. Therefore, a disciple who wants to be victorious must be a disciple who has forsaken all. If he does not forsake all, he cannot be victorious. Jesus said that if he does not forsake all, he is not a disciple. So this matter is highlighted in Revelation. Then, in chapter 12, a great sign appeared in heaven:

A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as

====输出开始
Actually, people are not afraid of spending money; they are afraid of paying for foolishness. As a result, they actually nailed Jesus to the cross, but Jesus resurrected from the dead on the third day. Who nailed Jesus to the cross? Satan. Satan nailed Jesus to the cross, and Jesus really did resurrect from the dead. Death could not hold Him; this is victory. Because of the precious blood shed by Jesus, Satan has been renamed 'fool,' just a silly fool. Satan finds this irritating. Later, mentioning the precious blood of Jesus makes Satan feel like a fool, losing face! He can't afford to lose face! When the precious blood of Jesus Christ is mentioned, the devil himself feels foolish. Oh, how stupid! If I hadn’t crucified Him but let Him get cancer and undergo chemotherapy and radiation, let's see how He could resurrect. No, he was crucified, and then Jesus resurrected.

Therefore, the precious blood of Jesus is the magic weapon for victory. The moment the precious blood of Jesus Christ is brought out, Satan doesn't know where to hide his face and quickly digs a hole to crawl into, with his backside still sticking out. So, every time you mention the precious blood of Jesus Christ, it becomes Satan's eternal pain! He is not afraid of anything else, but he can't afford to lose face! Oh, it's like eating a dung beetle. And do you know what? Satan is sitting on his throne, and Satan's henchmen are discussing the precious blood of Jesus in groups of three and two. Satan's face is contorted with anger. Now you're a fool, right? So, Jesus' resurrection solved a problem: He paid the price for our curses. This is the logic.

Think about it, why can't a person be victorious? Because they carry curses. When a person carries curses, the devil has the legal right to corrupt them. After corrupting them, it returns to the person, bringing deeper curses, creating a vicious cycle. Can everyone understand? Have you noticed that even newborns eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Yes. The child is selfish as soon as he is born, which is strange. So, children are evil from birth, inheriting curses from their ancestors before they are born. Demons corrupt them, and then they corrupt themselves, so demons legally reside in them. Therefore, the blood of Jesus covers this problem, and the devil suddenly becomes illegal. Brothers and sisters, you must remember this: the healing of your sickness when I pray for you is because of the blood of the Lamb.

Without the blood of the Lamb, we have no legal way to drive out demons. When the blood of the Lamb comes upon you, and you believe, the devil becomes illegal in you, changing from legal to illegal, and then we can drive him out. Therefore, the gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of healing and casting out demons. But this gospel of healing and casting out demons has been labeled as this sect or that sect, and those who do not heal and cast out demons have become orthodox. That's pure nonsense gospel. Later, Jesus resurrected and ascended to heaven, giving the promised Holy Spirit. Without the cleansing blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in us because the Spirit of God is a holy Spirit. That's the logic. Therefore, the blood of Jesus is our magic weapon for victory, and that is why.

## VI. Our Testimony

Know the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. What is testimony? It is something we have seen that can prove something. This word is the word that can testify. Testify to what? Testify that demons are cast out, diseases are healed, and the power of death is trampled upon. I ask you, can a word without testimony be believed? A word without testimony cannot be believed. Only a word with testimony can be believed. Seeing the testimony, ah, it really is like this.

Early on, I went to an evangelical church. They only preached doctrine, but the doctrines didn't sound quite right to me. Why? Because when you are sick, you can't really listen to doctrines. As a result, they introduced me to doctors, and spending a lot of money didn't solve the problem. What kind of word is that? The result of practicing faith is that the blood of the Lamb works! Demons are cast out, and diseases are healed. So, healing and casting out demons is our testimony. If you can cast out demons, ah, the blood of the Lamb covers our transgressions, isn't this the word? You are healed because sickness is closely related to demons and spiritual things. Is a word without testimony a word? I don't think it is.

When I first believed in the Lord, it wasn't for any other reason than that I personally witnessed the power of God, which was amazing! Without testimony, how do you know if it's right or wrong? You don't know. So today I want to tell you that there must be testimony. You must prove it works. If you can't prove it works and only say it with your mouth, forget it! That's why I later said that only what is done counts. It's useless to talk nonsense if you can't do it. A philosopher believes in the Lord with the flavor of a philosopher, and an engineer believes in the Lord with the flavor of an engineer. I come from an engineering background. I think there's no point in talking about something that can't be done. Only what is done counts; that is the victorious word. You must have results with the victorious word. It must really work, or I don't see any use in it. That's why some people believe in the wrong gospel, and the problem gets worse. It's useless to just believe in a doctrine.

There are many testimonies among us. Last week, I received a testimony about someone who couldn't process their retirement benefits. Why? Because years ago, they worked in one city and then later in another city. Because they didn't complete the procedures properly before, they were now stuck no matter what they did. Later, they said, 'I'll pray!' Their pastor sent them the recording of my prayer, and what happened? A few days later, they went to process it again, and all the places that were stuck before were cleared. You ask me what happened? The word of God works. I ask you, if the word of God works, what else do we need to worry about? We don't need to worry about anything. All of a person's needs are met in Jesus Christ. Everything is closely related to the spiritual realm, and I have experienced so many testimonies that I can tell you countless numbers of them even today.

There was a PhD student who couldn't graduate. Not being able to graduate with a PhD is a tragedy. His professor said, ‘Your dissertation is no good. It doesn’t work. You can’t graduate.’ As a result, he came to me and showed me his professor’s email. His professor’s email said, 'The dissertation you have done is completely unqualified and must be redone.' How can a doctoral dissertation be redone? Ah, the whole person was about to collapse! If you can’t graduate with a PhD, it’s like a three-no-product (no production date, no quality guarantee, and no manufacturer). As a result, I prayed with him. He didn't reply to that email and didn’t do anything. A week of prayer passed, and his professor said, 'You can graduate.' What happened? The blood of Jesus Christ is effective.

God is mighty in the spiritual world. This is a true story! The following year, his classmate couldn't graduate. He told his classmate how he graduated, and then his classmate came too. He also couldn’t graduate with a PhD, [but after] praying, he also graduated. Does it work? It works. Later, I concluded: Spiritual things manage our worldly affairs. If you don't have victory in the spiritual realm, it's useless. If you have victory in the spiritual realm, it really works. Therefore, the authority of Jesus Christ, the blood of Jesus Christ, and the word we testify to are really powerful! If trusting God doesn't work, if it can't solve problems, what's the point of believing in it? It's a waste of time.

## VII. The Word of God

The word we testify to. Do you know how powerful the word of God is? I tell you, the word of God is too powerful. When we hear the word of God, we think it's just a doctrine, but the word of God is the word of God, and the word of God carries power. Look, what did Jesus say during His battle with Satan? Satan said, 'If you are the Son of God, turn this stone into bread.' Jesus said, 'You little thing, would turning bread make me afraid of you? Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'

> The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Luke 4:3-4)

Do you understand? It depends on the word of God. So, what exactly is this word of God? The word of God is every word that comes from the mouth of God. The words God speaks are spirit and life.

> The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. (John 6:63)

So, our testimony is one thing, and the word is another. What is this word? This word is first and foremost a complete system of a series of God's words. For example, we talk about victorious disciples. If you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, you must do according to the word of God, and you must give up many things.

> “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel (Mark 10:29)

Leaving behind parents, wives, children, fields, and houses—these are all the things you care about most, aren't they? But that is the word of God. You say, 'Why give up?' Don't ask why; that is the word of God. So, if you want to be a victorious disciple, you must have the blood of Jesus Christ and our testimony. You must experience God, and you must be interested in the word of God and desire the word of God. Many Christians have poor understanding of the word of God and often say strange things. It is difficult for people with poor minds to believe in the Lord. It is very troublesome for people with poor minds to follow their own ideas.

Some time ago, someone came and said: 'This Teacher Liu himself says that he often feels that he hasn't arranged things correctly, so what are we doing following him?' Everyone, listen to these words. Isn't this a poor mind? What kind of mind is this? Some pastors always think they have arranged things correctly. Does thinking they have arranged things correctly mean they are correct? This is what I say: I say that I often feel that I haven't arranged things correctly, why? It is to arrange things correctly. For example, if I write a program that can't run, and I say that's how it is, will it work? If I make a car that can't drive, and I say that's how it is, will it work? I ask you, you are an engineer; doesn't everything have to be adjusted bit by bit? My program can't be without bugs, and I can't write everything correctly all at once. I have to fix it bit by bit, adjust this part correctly, adjust that part correctly, and then it is finally a complete software.

His kind of mind is: 'He feels that he hasn't arranged things correctly, so what am I doing following him? He has arranged things wrong.' It is because I feel that I haven't arranged things correctly that I can arrange things correctly. Everyone must know that we are not like some people who are so rigid and hardened that they still think they are right even when things are absurd. Let him slowly go with those people. So, we must first arrange the concepts and the word of God correctly, and then we must constantly correct our understanding of God's word in practice. Know that Chinese Mingding Destiny, it counts only when it's done. To be a victorious disciple of Jesus Christ, you must have the blood of the Lamb and our testimony. What is testimony? The result of practicing God's word, and then there is the word of God. When we practice God's word, it is not right, and there are no results, so we adjust it, and we keep adjusting it until it is right. Ah, this is what the Bible says, and the result of what it says is this. Later I tell you, the demons come out to prove it for me, and the demons stand up and say: This kid is too powerful! I can't fool him.

## VIII. Not Loving Their Lives So Much As To Shrink From Death

Not loving their lives so much as to shrink from death is the key to victory. Know that I perform many miracles. If I were to tell you stories, it wouldn't be a problem to tell them for three days. I have experienced these things. You ask me: Is the word of God true? It is absolutely true, not exaggerated at all. I am willing to give my life to God as a price, and I want to be a victorious disciple. It is not that I have testimony because I do not love my life so much as to shrink from death, but because I saw God's testimony and the word of God when I was still quite fond of my own life at the beginning. Later, I began to discover again and again: Wow, this is amazing. I no longer cherish my own life so much. This is a person's life journey.

If you walk this path, constantly practice the word of God. Wow, this is a treasure. At first, you just feel that it's good that your salary has increased, and it's good that you have been healed; later, you feel that this is really good, incomparably good; later, you feel, ah, this is the treasure of a person's life. You ask me: Is this a treasure? I absolutely pat my chest and guarantee to you that this is a treasure, but you have to walk this path to victory yourself. Are you willing to offer your life to God? Are you willing to give up everything? I tell you, the timid cannot do it. After experiencing God, seeing the blood of the Lamb, having testimony, and knowing the word of God, what is a disciple? What is a church? What is victory? The Bible speaks clearly, but when you go home and see your wife, it's bad; you're afraid of your wife. So, there are many pastors who are afraid of their wives, and there are many pastors who are afraid of their children.

I once met a pastor who said with certainty: I am going to take the path of healing and casting out demons. I am going to insist on this pure gospel, and I am going to build a victorious church like Pastor Liu. When he got home and his wife glared at him, he was embarrassed. He preached the word of healing and casting out demons for several weeks, but when his wife glared at him, it was all over! His wife and children didn't like it, and it was over! I have seen this kind of thing a lot. Why? Timidity! Those who want to save their lives will lose them. Didn't Jesus say to give up? But he can't give up. He also wants to inherit the grace of life with his wife. I think it is better to inherit the consequences of defeat with his wife. If you don't have victory, what are you inheriting? Not even a disciple. Even fools know to laugh at him. Fools are too lazy to pay attention to him. When they see this kind of person being defeated, it's meaningless and tasteless. That's why Satan especially likes to compete with Jesus. It is still worthy of bragging about even if he defeated by Jesus. There's no sense of accomplishment in playing with them.

So, the logic system of not loving their lives so much as to shrink from death is that if you indulge the flesh, you cannot win the battle. If you indulge the flesh, you are finished! So, brothers and sisters, do you know what the meaning of giving up is? A victorious disciple! Jesus has already told us that if you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, you must give up your wives, parents, children, fields, and houses. Loving Jesus must surpass loving your wife, loving your parents, and loving your children. Only by giving up can you be victorious.

If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)

Not loving their lives so much as to shrink from death is this logic! If a person doesn't care about their own death, I tell you, it will be difficult for you not to be victorious. So, if you don't care about your own death, who cares about your death? Whoever wants to die, let them die. It doesn't matter if one more dies or one less dies. Some people label you and say, 'Then how do you manage your family like this? If you can't manage your own family, how can you manage the church?' This is called management. This is called management. That is called being controlled. It is not that he controls you, and then you manage him. What kind of management is that? You can manage if you give up. Today, I will give everyone a winning magic weapon. Having come to this world with great difficulty, I will dedicate this life to God. I will live out God's glory in this life. I will not live for others; I will only live for my God and die for my God, and I will surely gain life. Those who want to save their lives will lose them, and those who give up their lives for Jesus will gain life!

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. (Matthew 16:25)

I tell everyone that I have hope in eternity. I look forward to seeing the face of the Lord Jesus every day to rest from the hard work of this world. Although I live for God and work hard for God in this world, I am joyful. Why? Because I have a glorious hope inside me. I am willing, and I like it. I just hope that one day I can come before God and God will give me a reward and say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!' This is my hope, and this is the goal I am running for in this life, which is incomparably good!

So, I often say: 'God, I need You every day.' Do you understand? To be a victorious disciple, nothing can control you. Can we declare this to the world? This world has nothing in me! I tell you, brothers and sisters, don't be afraid. If this world has nothing in you, the whole world is in your hands, because God will give this world to you to manage. You are a manager, not a person to be managed. When I think of a victorious disciple, when I think of the glory and reward that I will receive, I get excited, ah! I hope that brothers and sisters have the same dreams as me and hope to receive what God wants us to receive in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Let us sing a hymn to receive today's offerings. If you don't understand the meaning of offerings, please don't offer. At this moment, dedicate yourself to God and tell God: 'God, I can shed tears, I can shed blood, but I want to be victorious! God, I know it is difficult to give up, but I just want to give up.' Victory is to be victorious! Today, brothers and sisters, when will you not cherish your own lives? That is when you will be victorious. This is the key. We have witnessed the word of God, and we have known the word of God. The rest is our choice. Fear can no longer control us, and no one can control us. It doesn't matter how many hats you put on me. It's fine to wear them all; it doesn't matter if there is one more hat, but I have decided to wear the hat of a victorious disciple! Have you noticed that I have quite a personality? Among us, brothers and sisters inherit this kind of personality: strong and victorious! Having come to this world with great difficulty, just be a victorious disciple.

Everyone raise your hands and come before God to pray with me: Lord Jesus, You said that loving You should exceed loving parents, wives, children, brothers, and sisters. You said that loving You and giving up their names for You are worthy of being Your disciples. Today, I want to be Your disciple. God, even though the word 'disciple' has been defiled, I still want to say before You that I want to be Your disciple. God, may You open the windows of heaven and pour out everything You have promised on me. God, may Your promises be fulfilled in me, so that Your name may be glorified and the world can see Your glory through us. I am a vessel to manifest Your glory, and I am Your disciple until I see Your face. 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. 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, now and forever. Amen!

May God bless everyone!
