I. Introduction

Good morning, everyone. Today, I will be sharing on the topic of rediscovering God's glory. The sermon today is entitled Before all the people I will be glorified. I have spoken many times on the subject of building a glorious church, but this time my heart was once again shaken by God. As I delved deeper into this matter, I realised that my understanding was biased. Thankfully, I am not stubborn. If I were, someone might say, Teacher, you said it that way five years ago, and today you say it this way. Were you wrong five years ago, or are you wrong today? Ah, good question! I would say, I have grown.

In the series on Building a Glorious Church, we must explain the matter of glory and what a glorious church truly means. So today's is the second sermon in the Building a Glorious Church series. In fact, both glory and love as written in the 《Bible》 are extremely confusing terms. So what exactly is glory? Although every week we talk about our vision of building a holy, united, glorious, truth-abiding, and victorious Church of Elite Soldiers, what exactly does the word glory mean? It's really hard to say. If someone were to ask me, Teacher, what is glory? Have you seen it? I would say, I have not.

Some people think that glory is being very rich and living a carefree life. They think that glory is having a good business and being promoted in officialdom. If you were to offer New Year's greetings, you would say: The new year is a year of glory. Is that God's glory? These are not. Our vision and mission have remained largely unchanged for more than a decade, but I get stuck whenever I mention the word glory. So today, let us explore glory. When we say that God's glory fills the whole earth, you may think it is a good thing, but is it really a good thing? Today, we will talk about God's glory, which may be different from what you think. What matters is that God tells us what His glory is all about.

In the past, we always thought that the blind seeing, the lame walking, and the dead being raised represented seeing the glory of God. Is that right? Yes! But this level is still somewhat one-sided. There is also the phenomenon of Nadab and Abihu being burned to death by the fire of God. It is really puzzling. Is that the glory of God? That is the glory of God! You were playing with fire in the presence of God's glory, how could you not be burned to death?

If an Egyptian family of five lost their firstborn son, it would be equivalent to 20% of the Egyptian population dying. There were not enough coffins to buy. Coffins were in great demand. This is the glory of God. Then the Pharaoh of Egypt led his troops to chase the Israelites and was buried in the bottom of the Red Sea. This is also the glory of God. If you read carefully the glory in the 《Bible》, as for the previous translations of English honor and glory, let's not dwell on that, let's just look at the Chinese text.

When the Ark of the Covenant was captured, old Eli's daughter-in-law said: The glory has departed from Israel. In fact, the glory is still there, but there is still a big difference in our understanding of glory. It is difficult for us to understand this. When the Ark of the Covenant was captured, the glory of God was also captured. Do you know what happened later? The Ark of God was captured and placed in the temple of Dagon, and the idol of the god Dagon was destroyed by the Ark of God. This is the glory of God! Can you understand? Every Philistine got hemorrhoids. Did they see the glory of God? They saw it.

Later, the Philistines put on an oxcart, made many golden rats, and also made the shape of hemorrhoids with gold, and let the oxcart pull the Ark back to Israel. The Ark was transported to Israel, and many people died because they touched the Ark. This is the glory of God, can you understand? It is difficult for me to understand. I said, This is not quite right, is it? But this is what is written in the 《Bible》. It is not important whether we know or understand this matter. What is important is that the 《Bible》 does record it in this way.

Then I ask you, what do you think it is when many people die from cancer? It is the glory of God. So today, those who serve God must be careful, because our God is a great and awesome God, full of glory. What about the fall of Israel? The fall of Israel is also the glory of God. Today, we have to ponder how important it is to fear God! Because God is a consuming fire, not the stove in your house, not even the crematorium. The energy of the entire universe combined is not necessarily comparable to the energy of God, the glory of God.
If you are a nuclear power plant engineer, you will definitely be very careful. If you are a nuclear weapons expert, tinkering with nuclear weapons all day long, and accidentally detonate a nuclear weapon, it is not just one person who dies, but many people who die. Building a church of God's glory is no joke. You bring down the glory of God, and then kill Nadab and Abihu. You say, Pastor, how could this be? This is the glory of God.

If I happen to be that Nadab or Abihu, don't cry over there, don't cry, because I deserve it. Although I said the order of Nadab and Abihu is reversed, if you detonate a nuclear weapon, don't you deserve it? I am an engineer, I know the meaning of meticulousness, I know that playing with fire too much will burn myself to death. Therefore, building a church must be built according to the word of God, serving God must also be according to the word of God, and knowing God must be according to the word of God.

Recently, cars on the Internet often spontaneously combust, and some people drive so fast that they crash into trees, and then the car catches fire. The fire was so big that after the fire was extinguished, it was found that the person was burned, leaving only bones. There is also a very interesting video. A person carried the battery of an electric car into the elevator. After the elevator door closed, the battery suddenly caught fire. This person and the burning battery were trapped in the elevator. That was too tragic. Isn't this playing with fire? Let me tell you, if someone pushes an electric car into the elevator, you should get out quickly, either let him go up first, or you let him out. This is not something to be careless about.

Moses had seen the glory of God. At that time, Moses was face to face with God, and then Moses said to God: Can I see your glory? As a result, God let Moses see His glory. God put Moses in a cave and covered him with His hand. God only showed him a back view. It is difficult for us to understand that Moses could speak to God face to face. But when the glory of God was manifested, Moses could not stand, he had to be put in a cave. He only saw a back view, because Moses could not bear it.
Building a glorious church must have a sense of awe. You must know that if a Christian does not have a sense of awe in his heart, everything is over. This is an awesome vocation, and you must serve God according to His word. Today's quoted scripture is the example of Nadab and Abihu, who were Aaron's sons and Moses' nephews, and were burned to death by fire. They did not carry a battery into the elevator, they offered strange fire to God in front of God. The result of offering strange fire was being burned to death by fire. They were burned to death on the spot, instantly like being BBQed; This is the glory of God.

If you understand it this way, it is easy. The Ark of the Covenant was captured, Israel was destroyed, the Egyptians died, the soldiers were buried in the Red Sea, 600,000 Israeli soldiers died in the wilderness, crossing the Red Sea, crossing the Jordan River, people encountered disasters, this is all the glory of God. The glory of God will fill the whole earth, and the whole earth will be shaken by God again. Today, don't think that the glory of God is just a good economy. We must pray for the economy of China, pray for the economy of Singapore, and pray for the economy of the United States. We must pray for the US election. How many Christians prayed for the election? This is not the point; God does not care about these things at all.

So our God is great and awesome, great in power, great in glory, and cannot be treated lightly. The attitude of building a church of God's glory, the attitude of being a Christian, and the fear of God are far from enough. May God shake the heavens and the earth once again, shake our hearts, and may the glory of God fill the whole earth once again. If this is the glory of God, do you still want it? You say: This matter has to be discussed again. In the 《Bible》, God both brings disaster and gives blessings; God both brings disaster and gives peace. This is the work of God. If God is such a God, do you still dare to be self-righteous? Do you still dare to go your own way? We must carefully observe and obey the word of God.

Many years ago, there was an entrepreneur whose business was very successful. His father was a very powerful businessman, and he himself was also a very powerful entrepreneur. We used to be in the same church. Later, his business went bad. He didn't know how his business started, and he didn't know how it went bad. Then he shouted a slogan, asking a group of pastors to pray for him, and he wanted to return to glory. Is that glory the glory of God? That is not the glory of God, that is the glory of man.

People like King Herod glorify themselves, that is not the glory of God. As a result, King Herod was bitten to death by a worm. You say that being bitten to death by a poisonous snake, or being bitten to death by a tiger or lion, seems okay. Anyway, we can't beat that thing. You say you were bitten to death by a worm. Don't you feel ashamed? Humiliated! Did he return to glory? No, because that was not the glory of God.

Today, everyone must remember that it is not called the glory of God if you are promoted in your job, and it is not called the glory of God if your business is booming. These things have nothing to do with the glory of God. In fact, it is better not to ask for it; asking for it will only make things worse. Where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also. Why do people not ask for more of God? So the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and knowing God is understanding, so come to God! What I just said seems to have ruined your faith. Don't be surprised. In fact, your faith is not called faith.

Those who truly come to God must be sanctified and must be clothed with Jesus Christ. How do you clothe yourself with Jesus Christ? You must believe in Jesus Christ by faith, because without being clothed with Jesus Christ and coming to God, it is a tragedy. Because this is man's faith in God, man believes in Jesus Christ, which is to clothe himself with Jesus Christ to come before God, that is to offer oneself and imitate Jesus. The problem with people is unbelief. Do you know how great God's power is? Many people do not know. In fact, God's power goes beyond what people can imagine.

Recently, physics has advanced again. What we learned was called intelligent conversion. Now, as physics continues to research, it will soon be researching the spiritual realm. In other words, once you have the energy, you can turn it into whatever you want. If you have energy, you have matter, and if you have matter, you have energy. Energy can turn into matter, and matter can turn into energy, intelligent conversion. This is what we learned many years ago. God's power surpasses all things. Even adding up the energy of a billion suns is not comparable to God's energy. God said, Let there be, and there was; He commanded, and it stood fast, can you believe it? Believe!
So the problem is that people don't know the power of God, don't know the works of God, often serve God with self-righteousness, and often offer strange fire before God. I know many pastors whose lives are tragic, so I also feel a bit saddened. Serving God cannot be according to one's own will, it must be according to God's will. Why be clothed with Jesus Christ? Because we are really not good enough to come before God. If you want to work with high-voltage lines, you have to wear protection, right? So we must know the power of God.

Today I tell you that problems such as unemployment, lack of money, and debt are just trivial matters to God. When a person has God, living is a very simple thing. What I say may sound a bit empty, but it is very real, because that is really what it is. God was able to feed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, can you understand? Where did those pies come from? God changed them, God was constantly making pies and creating them for you. So sometimes I say: Don't worry! There is only one problem, that is, we often offer strange fire.

We can still survive now, we really have to thank God for His mercy! Nadab and Abihu were unlucky, they were suddenly burned to death. I have never seen this kind of formation before. In the glorious light of God, all problems naturally become non-problems. So today, we must restore our faith in God once again, and know that building a church of God's glory can solve many problems.

In the past few years, we have solved the problem of healing and deliverance, and many diseases have been healed. Some people ask me if everyone has been healed? Everyone has been healed! Then why did they die later? Because they called the demons back again. If people call the demons back, isn't that a matter of minutes? So people don't know the power of God, don't fear God, so they create their own set of things. You say: If I don't solve my problems, who will solve them? Are you going to solve it for me? I say: You underestimate God too much.

Some people say: Can believing in the Lord be eaten as food? This is a question that someone asked me more than ten years ago. I said: Oh, you silly boy! Not only can it be eaten as food, but it can also be spent as money, and it can also be lived as life, and it can also be eaten as medicine. He looked at me and said: Oh, whenever I asked a pastor in the past, can this thing be eaten as food? The pastor would get stuck. But among us, this is called a glorious church, it can not only be eaten as food, but it can also be eaten as medicine, and it can also be spent as money.

Before our church was transformed, the brothers and sisters had problems with renting houses, finding jobs, and a lot of other things. It was simply impossible to fix, but later these problems disappeared. Today I tell you, even if you are in debt, do you believe that God can help you pay it off? In fact, it is not that difficult for God to help you pay off your debts. It is just that God flicks a booger-sized blessing, and it is enough for you to live a lifetime. A brother just typed the word Amen. In fact, he used to come here in debt, but now he is getting better and better. I just sighed, people don't know the great power of God, don't know the works of God, and walk forward according to their own will all day long, so it is a tragedy.

The glory of God is two-sided. On the one hand, it can provide for us and meet all our needs. On the other hand, it can also cause people to die. So in 《1 Samuel》, Hannah said: God is the God who causes to die and makes alive. These things are two-sided. The glory of God can cause people to die and can also cause people to live. Today, let us come forward with reverence and choose to believe in God, and many problems will be solved. There are still many people with problems among us, who open their mouths to talk about their own little things, often saying: Teacher, these problems are unsolvable. I said: You underestimate God too much, what do you mean unsolvable? Just your little thing? The best way is to die suddenly and then it will be fine. God is not a God who causes people to die, God is a God who causes people to live.

II. Scripture

Let's read today's scripture, 《Leviticus》 Chapter 10, verses 1 to 3.

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. (《Leviticus》 10:1-3)

III. Prayer

Let us pray together. Today we come to know another level of God, this level is that God will cause people to die. God, today give us your revelation, so that our brothers and sisters can know you better, know your glory, know that you are great and awesome, full of glory, and know how terrible it is to offer strange fire before you.

Today let us come before you according to what you have commanded and offer ourselves. God, today begin to lead us on this road of building a glorious church. May the church become your temple, may your glory fill us. God, may our hearts turn to you, let every one of our brothers and sisters know that you are the answer to all our problems, let us love you more. God, lead us today, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

IV. Scripture Background

The background of this scripture is the Israelites coming out of Egypt. After they came out of Egypt, what happened? If they came out of Egypt, how good it would be to go directly to Canaan! As a result, the Israelites had to wander in the wilderness. Today, we drive, open the trunk, put those things in, and step on the gas and leave, right? Then when we get to the campsite, we put up the tent. In those days, the Israelites carried everything on their backs, each carrying 20 kilograms of things.

If you go to Singapore to be a recruit, everyone has to carry a 20-kilogram package, and also hold a gun in their hand. The total weight is about 25 kilograms. It is very heavy for people to carry 25 kilograms of things, and then walk 20 kilometers. This is not an ordinary torture, but that is how being a soldier is. The Israelites came out of Egypt and carried all the valuable things in their homes on their backs. It was really hard to walk. When the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire stopped, they found a place. The next day, when they got up again, some people had not rested enough, and the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire were about to leave again, and everyone had to get up again.

If you were an Israelite, can you understand? I can't understand it very well. Oh, what are we walking for? How will this ever end? As a result, they wandered back to the original place, and went around in a circle. Every day they had military training, and then went to Mount Sinai. When walking, people complained, and some people must have died on the road. As a result, they walked to Mount Sinai again and tossed around there for a while. Moses went up the mountain, came down from the mountain, and led the Israelites to build the tabernacle.

There is also a digression in between. The Israelites made a golden calf, and then many Israelites were killed. This story sounds incredible! What exactly did these Israelites come out to do? I might think so too. Of course, when we read the story today, we don't know how we would react if we were in the situation, but we certainly feel bad. How can we feel good? We just sat down to rest, but before we could recover, we had to set off. Alas, how tiring! This happens every day. We haven't done anything, just wandering around all day long.

It's really hard work! Most people would definitely say: What did I come out here for? Wasn't I doing well in Egypt? At least I didn't have to go through so much trouble in Egypt. Moses said to go, so we had to follow; we couldn't refuse. When will we be able to enter the Promised Land? We haven't even seen the Promised Land yet. I ask you, after building the tabernacle, you have to carry it, set up camp, pitch the tabernacle, and worship there. After a few days, you have to break camp again and take down the tent. How annoying! Do you think you're staying in a hotel? After pitching camp, you have to work for two hours just pitching the tent. When you set off, you have to take down the tent.

Later, this tabernacle was built, and it was fortunate that Moses obeyed. Many churches are not built like churches at all. What about sea dog skin? Where can you find so much sea dog skin? Fifty pegs, but only forty-nine were found, so just let it be. There are many sloppy people among us. Anyway, forty-nine pegs won't cause it to collapse, so it's okay. Like some of us who work in property management, they think it's okay if the sewer is blocked. You see, our way of thinking is similar. Some people think: Pray? It's better to scroll through my phone! Don't be so rigid! How can you be so inflexible and doctrinaire? If we listened to Teacher Liu, how could we live our lives? But we've still managed to get by.
This result has caused the Israelites a lot of trouble. Is this God's glory? Many people are confused. Fortunately, the tabernacle was built according to God's will. Moses was amazing. However God commanded Moses, so Moses did. This sentence must be imprinted in our hearts: However God commanded Moses, so Moses did! This is really powerful.

Actually, many years ago when I read the Bible, I read this sentence: However God commanded Moses, so Moses did! But I tell you, later when I built the church, I missed this sentence: However God commanded, so do. Do you understand? Yes, I understand! But at that time, I was thinking, if I talk to people about Jesus, would they come? This sounds reasonable, but it is not what God said.

God said: When our Jesus Christ is lifted up, He will draw all men to Himself. At that time, I was thinking about using Jesus to attract people, but I thought I'd better not do it. As a result, I did not act according to the word of the Lord God. What did I do later? I told people that I had roast chicken, roast duck, and spiced beef. This is definitely under a curse. That is God's glory. Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's two sons, took their own censers, put fire in them, added incense, and offered strange fire before the Lord. Today, there are many people in the church who offer strange fire. I can give you so many examples.
For example, who is the Sabbath for? Is it for the congregation of Israel or for the priests? It is for the congregation of Israel because the congregation of Israel keeps the Sabbath. Now I ask you, are the priests busy on the Sabbath? The priests are very busy. But what about today? I ask you, should pastors have a Sabbath? If a pastor is like a priest, then he shouldn't have a Sabbath, right? Is that right? But what about today? The pastor says: Monday is my Sabbath. If you call me, I will ask you: Do you know what day is today? The meaning is, do you know what day is it today for me? Today is my Sabbath.

According to what I would say: Good heavens! Just do it like that. Today is your Sabbath, so if your mother dies, I can't reach you by phone? Isn't that right? Resting on the Sabbath? They've learned all this kind of stuff. What I'm talking about to you today is actually what many churches teach about Nadab and Abihu offering strange fire. We have removed some of it, but some of it is still continuing. Let us look to God's mercy.

Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire, which was not commanded by the Lord, and as a result, they were burned to death on the spot. Why were they burned to death on the spot? They were burned to death on the spot because Moses built the tabernacle of God according to God's word. God was really there. Moses definitely knew how powerful this thing was. When Moses saw these two youngsters burned to death, do you know who these two youngsters were? These two youngsters were Moses' nephews, his brother's two sons. They must have grown up together and played together. As a result, Moses said this, Moses then said to Aaron: This is what the Lord said: I will be sanctified among those who draw near to me, and before all the people I will be glorified. This is God's glory. God is really here!

So what will happen if we build a church of God's glory? That would be deadly. Offering strange fire can really kill people! That's why many people build tabernacles that are not built according to God's commands, and churches are not built according to God's church, and service is not according to God's teachings. For example, everyone who participates in the church has participated in retirement retreats abroad. I have never understood what that retirement retreat is all about, so we don't have that kind of thing.

Building a church of God's glory is not a joke. It must be implemented according to God's commands. The church must not only be built according to God's revelation, but the service in the church must also be according to God's commands, otherwise it will become offering strange fire. Aren't there many stories about this?

Last year, I attended a funeral. A pastor was lying in a coffin. His body was black from the medicine, and he had tubes inserted for more than four months. In the end, he died of COVID-19 Omicron. What did he go to do? He went to South Korea to attend a special conference. I took my colleagues to see my good friend for the last time and send him off. If I went there and said he offered strange fire, the other party would definitely retort: The fire you offer is not strange fire! Wouldn't that be troublesome?

So the sermon I preach is for you to listen to. If they hear it, then I will be in big trouble. Let them criticize if they want. So acting according to God's commands is a basic principle, building God's church according to God's revelation is a basic principle, and serving according to God's commands is the most basic principle. Not only is serving God like this, but trusting in God is also like this. Anything not commanded by God is deadly. That is why ignorance will perish.

Nadab and Abihu were ignorant. Why did they take their own censers, put fire in them, and add incense? They took them from their own storage rooms. Where did their censers come from? They were brought from Egypt. They brought them from Egypt, the things they made in Egypt when they used to worship idols. As a result, they put incense and fire in them, and they lost their lives all at once. I ask you, is serving God more difficult than building a nuclear power plant? Russia had a Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and it was destroyed because of one improper operation. It was very serious.
So you must believe in the Lord properly and serve God properly. Don't mess around according to your own ideas. The background of this passage is very interesting. After Nadab and Abihu died, Moses said to them: Do not let your hair be disheveled, and do not tear your clothes, lest you die, and lest the Lord be angry with the congregation. Moses told Aaron not to cry. His two sons died that day, right in front of him, but he was not allowed to cry. This is the requirement, according to God's commands. Today, don't joke with God, don't play with God, do something serious! If you want to build a church today, build it according to God's revelation. This is Chinese Mingding Destiny, a very precious lesson. Build the church according to God's revelation.

V. Build the Church According to God's Revelation

Don't we all have the same vision? Don't we want to build a church of holy unity, glory, adherence to the truth, and victorious soldiers together? How should we build it? We must build it according to God's revelation. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit also gave the revelation of building the church to the Apostle Paul. Later, we read the Bible today, and we read many of the Apostle Paul's epistles very carefully. The Book of Ephesians is a basic classic work for building a glorious church.

So we have examined the Book of Ephesians countless times, and we may have the opportunity to examine it again. If you build the church according to God's revelation, what is the church? The church is the body of Jesus Christ. The church is the temple of God. The church is the tabernacle built by Moses, which is a shadow of the New Testament church. When we build according to God's revelation, we must first understand the definition of the church. What does the definition of the church say? I will build my church on this rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed. This is the most basic work of the church.

So we developed the 101 course and the 102 course. This is built according to God's revelation. After it is built, I tell you, the church must let the bound be released and the oppressed be set free. Why? Because this is God's word, this is the most basic work God has given us. Then what? Shepherd the flock of God. How should we build it? I won't repeat it today. After it is built, everyone who comes among us today has been healed.

Why have they all been healed? Because the church is built according to God's army, and the church is built according to God's revelation. In this spiritual world, we can trample on the devil and the enemy. So the foundation of healing and deliverance is still to build a victorious church. If the church is built according to the army, and everyone is a disorganized soldier, and you shout, everyone says: I don't have time. What are you doing with your time? Many people say: I've been doing this and that lately. But you still have time to do these things, right? Remember, if God's glory is to come down, then it will be terrible.
If people have this attitude, then God will definitely shake you. Some people think: Alas, I've been so busy with work lately, I don't have time to do anything. God will shake you! Some people say: Alas, my wife is about to have a baby, I don't have time to serve. God will shake you! I'm not saying this because I said it, but God will definitely do it. God will definitely do it even if I don't say it. Don't think that it's not terrible for people to live under a curse. Then someone tells you that it's terrible for you to live under a curse. That's not how it is. In fact, it is very terrible for people to live under a curse! What is the purpose and goal of our lives? This is something worth considering. The most glorious destiny in a person's life is to build the body of Jesus Christ and build the temple of God. The purpose for which we were created is these things.

VI. Offerings Should Be Made According to God's Revelation

If the church is not built according to God's revelation, and offerings are not made according to God's revelation, then many pastors are embarrassed to talk about offerings when they promote them in the church. Why? Because they don't know that offering is grace, and serving is also grace. God's glory can be used as money. Why do people become rich? In fact, God's blessing is enough.

So offering is just a beginning. It is not just an offering of money, but an offering of the whole heart and the whole person. If a person offers himself to God, it is acceptable to God and is holy. This is not called offering strange fire. How many people offer strange fire? How many people think that offering is for building the church? Offering is grace! Recently, there was a sister who came among us a long time ago. Later, we taught her to give offerings, which was really difficult. As soon as we mentioned offerings, she thought of money, so she left the church, and her family also disagreed. I ask you, is this a good deal or a bad deal?

It is a tragedy if a person cannot even pass the test of giving offerings. It is simply trash. Graduating from a 985 university and earning $2,500 a month after many years. Don't you think this is tragic? Then recently, she found one of our pastors and asked our pastor to pray for her because she was pregnant, but the fetus had no heartbeat. She had to have a D&C to remove the dead fetus. After removing it, it was not clean, and there was something else in her stomach. Oh my, it was really a lot of trouble. I heard our pastor praying for her. I said: You can't lead her like this. If you tell this sister the truth, she will no longer come to us because she has her own way of doing things. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and this is called offering strange fire. She still thinks she is a Christian, and she thinks she is reading the Bible.

VII. Serve According to God's Revelation

Everyone must remember that God will not blame you when you first come to church because you do not know many things. But you have been coming to church for a while now, so you must be careful today! Because this is a glorious church. If you still think that everything is about money in your heart, you are going to be in trouble. You must be careful because that is God's glory. Serve according to God's revelation. Today, all of us live by serving. Serving a God of great glory will not leave you lacking in your life. Do you still have to support yourself? Does that sound a bit mysterious? In fact, as long as God blesses you, you will find that everything you do is good.

Some of our brothers love the Lord very much, but their work is terrible. They think they love the Lord very much, and they also serve well in the local church. They used to split from the local church and build a small church there with a few people. Later, when he came to participate in our 003 course, he wrote a summary that it turned out that what he was doing was offering strange fire. Later, he learned about Chinese Mingding Destiny and began to realize that this was offering strange fire. Today I tell you, I have also offered strange fire. Thank God for not crushing me to death, but allowing me to survive to this day and be able to share with you that service must be according to God's revelation.
Serving according to God's revelation, according to God's word, according to God's revelation, and believing is the same principle. If you believe in the Lord wrongly, you will be cursed. If you serve God wrongly, you will be cursed. If you preach the gospel wrongly, you will also be cursed.

Everyone must be careful. It is written in black and white in the Bible that even today, when I preach about the Book of James, when I preach about Peter, when I preach about Lot, some people still come to argue with me. Why? Because they haven't read carefully and don't know whether Peter, Jude, and James, and Paul's revelation for building a glorious church are in the same system. They don't know. They think that everything in the Bible is true. Do you think that everything in the Bible is true?

So today we must restore the habit of reading the Bible carefully and serving according to God's revelation. So everyone, don't be afraid. On the road of believing in the Lord, you will definitely experience God's glory. Because it is difficult for you not to experience it. It is normal for God to toss you a few times. God is tossing you. Aren't you unemployed now? That is God's glory. God wants to guide you, to break you, to guide you back to God's revelation, and back to God's pure gospel. It's not that we are all so rotten that we have no way out. What is impossible for man is difficult for God. Believe in God!

VIII. God's Glory Will Surely Be Manifested Among Us

Today you are in our church, and you say: Teacher, why is it like this after coming to church? Why am I unemployed? Is this God's glory? It is God's glory! Nadab and Abihu were burned to death by God's fire in the tabernacle. That was God's glory! God will be sanctified among those who draw near to Him, and He will be glorified before all the people. Is He glorified? He is glorified! He will be glorified before all the people. So when you see these things happening one by one, as long as you still have breath, you must begin to learn to fear God. You can no longer fool God; you cannot use that set of fooling methods to fool God. You must have a heart of reverence.

God's glory will surely be manifested among us, and we also hope that God's glorious church will be built up so that God's glory will fill the whole earth. Before, we thought that filling the whole earth was like that, but now we find that God's glory filling the whole earth is like this. Today, nation is attacking nation, and people are attacking people. There are famines, earthquakes, and plagues everywhere. These are all God's glory. God is manifesting His glory in this generation, shaking the whole earth and shaking all nations, so that treasures will be brought in, that is, those who truly have faith and seek God. You are all treasures. I say this with faith. If you say yes, then it is really true! In the series Building a Church of God's Glory, we must sort this matter out clearly. Some brothers listened to it in a whirlwind. Did they follow it? I tell you, when many things happen, whether good or bad, God will definitely guide you and lead you out of your self-righteousness.
Today, the stories told are not many, but they are all very hard-core. Those who live in self-righteousness, or those who have received grace before, must begin to learn to fear God today! You and I must have the same vision and the same destiny. When building a church, build a church full of God's glory. In the light of God's glory, all our problems will be solved.

May God bless everyone!
