Let Us Serve the Lord By
Bearing Our Own Loads
<
Galatians 6:1-10 >
“Brethren,
if a man is overtaken in any trespass,
you who are spiritual restore such a one
in a spirit of gentleness, considering
yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear
one another’s burdens, and so fulfill
the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks
himself to be something, when he is nothing,
he deceives himself. But let each one
examine his own work, and then he will
have rejoicing in himself alone, and not
in another. For each one shall bear his
own load. Let him who is taught the word
share in all good things with him who
teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not
mocked; for whatever a man sows, that
he will also reap. For he who sows to
his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption,
but he who sows to the Spirit will of
the Spirit reap everlasting life. And
let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we
do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have
opportunity, let us do good to all, especially
to those who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:
1-2 states, “Brethren, if a man is
overtaken in any trespass, you who are
spiritual restore such a one in a spirit
of gentleness, considering yourself lest
you also be tempted. Bear one another’s
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Paul said that if a brother or sister
is overtaken in any trespass, you are
to restore him or her in a spirit of gentleness,
and watch yourself so you are also not
tempted. We have to consider ourselves
in our faith.
Almost all
Christian denominations have constitutions
that contain some clauses about disciplinary
punishment for their church members when
they commit sins. They may be punished
by not being allowed to pray in public
worship services, or they may be discharged
from their positions as deacons, elders,
or pastors. These punishments may seem
appropriate, but it is not so in fact.
In the Bible, it is possible for us to
restore them in a spirit of gentleness
because we know that the Lord has blotted
out their sins through the gospel of the
water and the Spirit. We have to restore
the people, who were overtaken in the
trespass, and we have to wish for their
souls to be good with the faith of believing
in the gospel of the water and the Spirit,
and we have to be cautious so as not to
fall into the sins.
The Apostle
Paul said, “Bear one another’s burdens,
and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians
6:2). We serve the Lord by the faith
of believing in the gospel of the water
and the Spirit, we seek the will of God
by faith, and we follow Him by faith.
So, we are serving the Lord in the power
that the Lord gives us. In fact, the burden
that we are bearing while doing God’s
works is the burden of righteousness.
It is not easy for us to serve the Lord
and to preach the gospel, but we have
to take charge of these works and share
them one another. This is how we fulfill
the law of Christ.
Galatians chapter
6 states that each one shall bear one’s
own load. Bearing one’s own load means
here that each of us has to serve the
gospel of the water and the Spirit. Every
one in Christ has one’s own work to take
charge of. If you receive the remission
of sins by believing in the gospel of
the water and the Spirit, and you once
come into God’s Church, God will make
you into a worker of God. It is because
every one who is righteous must be one
of the workers of God.
The evangelical
works that the righteous have to serve
are increasing. So, the Lord told us,
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians
6:2). There are so many works for
us to spread through the gospel of the
water and the Spirit. So, we must not
bear the burdens alone, but we have to
bear one another’s burdens and bear the
burden of spreading the gospel as much
as we can in our position.
There are many
things to do in serving the gospel of
God. There are many tasks for the gospel
that we have to serve. We need prayers
and concerns to preach the gospel to other
souls, and we also have to arm ourselves
first with faith. All these are our burdens
to bear. We can preach the gospel all
over the world when we share these burdens
with each other. We cannot preach the
gospel of the water and the Spirit if
we do not live by faith. That is why we
have to bear the loads that are entrusted
to each of us. You have to bear the burdens
for the propagation of the gospel as much
as God allows, and you must not remove
your burdens. The Apostle Paul told us
to bear one another’s burdens, so I know
that we have to be like this. We have
to take care of our burdens by thinking,
“What are the works that God has entrusted
to me?”
When our faith
was weak, we had minds wishing to live
just for ourselves. However, we came to
recognize that it was not right and that
we should serve the gospel of the water
and the Spirit continually. There are
so many works of God waiting for your
hands in His Church. You cannot say that
“I don’t have any works entrusted to me,”
whether you are a student, an adult man
or woman, or a young man. And there is
none among us who would say, “I can’t
serve the Lord because I don’t have anything
to do.” Why don’t the people who live
by faith in God after receiving the remission
of sins have work to do? In fact, there
are so many things for the people who
believe in the gospel of the water and
the Spirit to do in the church of God.
We have to consider whether or not we
are living for the gospel of God. As it
is said here, we need to bear one another’s
burdens, and each one has to take care
of the works of God that is assigned to
him.
God told us
to preach the gospel of God’s love and
salvation. We have to consider what God
entrusted us to do and whether or not
we are doing them faithfully. It is not
that we do God’s work inevitably and reluctantly;
it is needed for us to do the entrusted
works of God voluntarily by faith. God
told us to bear one another’s burdens,
and we have to accomplish the missions
entrusted to us. If we get lazy on the
mission entrusted to us, it would be ruined.
I believe that you will unite your hearts
in spreading the gospel, and I also believe
that each of you will fulfill the entrusted
works. People who believe in the gospel
of the water and the Spirit feel full
of happiness if they accomplish their
entrusted missions because they have given
their lives to the Lord.
As I testified
before, it was when I read Matthew chapter
3 verses 13 to 17 that I met the Lord
with this Word of Truth. I realized, “The
Lord saved us by taking the sins of the
world once and for all through the baptism
like this,” and I prayed immediately,
“Lord, please give me wisdom and strength
to preach the gospel all over the world.”
And I preached and preached this gospel
everyday without rest, and I did not give
up serving the gospel of the water and
the Spirit. The reason that I actually
preached the gospel of the water and the
Spirit everyday with these prayers was
because God entrusted this gospel of the
water and the Spirit to me. I did that
work because I knew that God would allow
me to bear the load of spreading the gospel
to this world.
I knew that
all the people after me would be destroyed
if I took off this load of spreading the
gospel of the water and the Spirit. So,
I preach the gospel of the water and the
Spirit without being shaken, regardless
of the persecution from many people. Sometimes,
I was slapped and abused without reason,
but I couldn’t throw away the propagation
of the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
I couldn’t just take off the work of serving
this gospel, through the good times or
bad times. It was because the load that
God entrusted to me was to preach this
gospel of the water and the Spirit all
over the world. That is why I am still
preaching the gospel of the water and
the Spirit consistently.
Sometimes,
I was tempted to compromise with the worldly
Christian leaders. When my faith was very
young and weak, I thought about just surrendering,
“Shall I just live with the Christians
in the world and mingle with them?” However,
it was just the thought of my flesh for
a very short time. The Holy Spirit didn’t
just leave me. I didn’t affiliate myself
with them, no matter how hard they outstretched
the hands of temptation to me. In fact,
we would be successful if we affiliated
ourselves with the Christian bodies of
the world. It is not impossible for us,
the born-again of water and the Spirit,
to be the best in the world. But we cannot
quit serving the gospel of the water and
the Spirit, even if we would become the
best elites of the world. We are happier
than the people who have authority, property,
or prestige in the world, even though
we do small works in God’s Church.
I have my burdens
entrusted by God and you also have yours.
Each of us has to bear our own loads.
If we bear the loads of Christ, He helps
us and blesses us. But if we take off
the loads, He won’t help us and He won’t
even accept us. If we do not serve the
gospel, God will take away our wisdom
and understanding that enables us to understand
His Words.
Don’t say,
“I cannot do God’s work because of something.”
You have to find the work of God that
you can do. If you are a student, concentrate
on your studies and if you have a chance,
preach the gospel of the water and the
Spirit to your friends. There are many
students who feel a sense of futility
about their lives. There are many adolescents
who worry about life seriously. I do not
know about the young people of these days,
but when I was at the age of 12 or so,
I started feeing the sense of futility.
It was during middle school that I started
to think deeply about these kinds of questions:
“Where did I come from? Why was I born?
Where am I going? Why do I have to live?”
Of course, there were also some of my
friends who did not worry about these
things, but everyone past 12 years old
will think of these things.
But, I think
only a few students these days try to
seek answers to their questions on life
seriously. Such a phenomenon is not desirable
for the salvation of souls. In fact, such
a person who does not worry about these
things cannot belong to the human species.
It is not too much to consider him as
a pig that feels happy if only its stomach
is filled with food. The Bible states,
“A man who is in honor, yet does not
understand, is like the beasts that perish”
(Psalms 49:20).Those, who do not want
to be like pigs that just like to eat,
have to listen and believe in the gospel
of the water and the Spirit that is preached
by the born-again. Dear young students,
if your friends tell you about the gospel
of the water and the Spirit, listen carefully
to them and examine whether it is the
Word of God or not. And it is wise to
believe in that Word if it is truly the
Word of God. There are times for the souls
to wonder about their true lives and think
about the future of their souls. If the
righteous people lead them in such times,
those souls will receive the remission
of sins.
Don’t say this
in God’s Church, “I don’t have anything
to do.” How do you say this when there
are so many things to do in the church
of God? How can we bear our burdens in
His Church? We have to first listen to
and believe in the Word of God, take attention
to the voice of the Holy Spirit, and then
do the entrusted works as our faith grows.
This is how we are bearing our loads.
There is no one among us who doesn’t have
this kind of load. Everyone has work,
including the Apostles. Young men, adult
men and women, middle school or high school
students, Sunday school students, and
workers and ministers, all of them have
their loads. Every born-again righteous
person has one’s own load, but the only
difference is the amount of the load.
When your faith
is young, attending church and listening
to the Word of God might be a load to
you. However, you have to take these loads.
There are so many works to do in the gospel
of God. Because of overwork, we used to
say, "I want to take a rest after
finishing this work." But, we couldn't
have a rest period because there used
to be another urgent missions awaiting
us. My fellow believers, the loads of
serving are increasing while we are serving
the Lord after meeting Him. But if we
bear the loads of the Lord, our loads
are light because the Lord bears those
loads with us. In fact, if we bear the
loads by faith, they become light for
the Lord said, “For My yoke is easy
and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:30).
We can bear the loads even though
they are increasing because the Lord helps
us.
We just updated
our homepage and reorganized entirely
so that more people can visit our homepage
everyday. Our efforts were worth it because
each of us has accomplished his or her
task and we have been able to publish,
print, and distribute lots of gospel books
throughout the world. We translated the
books of the gospel of the water and the
Spirit into over 50 major languages, and
then posted them to distribute as electronic
and paper books, so many people can download
our books or order them through the Internet.
These days,
many Europeans are logging in. The gospel
is spreading tremendously because we are
working in union with each other. Do you
think it would be possible for our 20
missionaries to accomplish even 1/10 of
the works that we are spreading through
the Internet if they went to Europe directly?
They cannot do as much as we work through
the Internet.
There are still
many countries that the gospel of the
water and the Spirit has not even been
introduced to. There are so many things
for us to do that even the amount of work
that is entrusted to each of us is all
different. We would like to take a rest
on the Lord’s days, but we cannot take
a break even on Sunday because the gospel
of the water and the Spirit cannot be
preached slowly due to our laziness. If
we carry on our duties faithfully in our
given positions, we can fulfill the will
of God and the propagation of the gospel
all over the world in a shorter time.
We can translate our books into all the
languages of the world if we only pay
for them, then, we can propagate the gospel
faster to every nation all over the world
if we do it earnestly.
It is said
that those who order others to do something,
do it with diligence. Lazy people can
never ask the workers to do God’s work.
The one who commends God’s work has to
be more diligent than the workers. The
one who commands has to prepare the works
of the workers while they are asleep.
The one who assigns God’s work has so
many things to do because he has to give
the work to the workers. Anyone who has
received the remission of sins has so
many things to do.
And there are
so many things to pray for if you pray
for each country. And we really need you
the readers of my books to pray for us.
I know and believe that the prayers for
the missionaries, souls, and for each
country are never futile. I surely believe
that God answers such prayers and He will
work and help us in everything. We need
people to pray for us and for the propagation
of the gospel. So, those who have nothing
to do can just pray. Praying is really
a great task. The reason that God's Church
shouldn't stop the dawn prayers is also
because of this.
In fact, I
couldn’t pray much because I am doing
the actual works. I do not pray in detail,
rather I pray for the general issues.
I need many people to pray for the spread
of the gospel because I cannot pray much
for it. It is bearing each one’s load
when the one who is in charge of praying
for God’s works prays faithfully, while
the other does the actual work faithfully.
All of us have
to be faithful in the part that we are
entrusted with. We cannot work carelessly
because they are God's works that must
be accomplished. We have to devote ourselves
to His works with our whole hearts. If
it is still deficient, even after we mobilize
all the things that we can do, then we
have to ask for the help of God.
Is there anyone
who says, “I don’t have anything to do
after being saved from my sins”? If you
don’t have anything to do in God’s Church,
just listen to the Word carefully, do
an errand, or take part in what the church
does. Each of us has to do the entrusted
works. The works of God will be fulfilled
well when each of us does the entrusted
work faithfully. If we try to do God’s
work personally, there are so many things
to do. Like the saying, “Parents die of
hunger and the children die of full stomachs
during times of famine,” there are people
with so much work, and there are people
with no work in God’s Church.
My fellow believers,
as your faith grows, you have to follow
the forerunners, and think of how you
can help, and you have to be united with
them by doing so. You have to voluntarily
do work in every way. By doing that, you
can learn the works of God, learn the
faith of believing in Him, and you come
to serve the Lord eventually. And the
one who does the work faithfully will
be entrusted with other works, and he
will continue to work for God.
Therefore,
We Have to Take Part in the Propagation
of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit
by Bearing Its Butden to One Another
We have to
keep in mind that through the Word, we
have to bear one another’s burdens. It
is written in Galatians 6:3-5, “For
if anyone thinks himself to be something,
when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
But let each one examine his own work,
and then he will have rejoicing in himself
alone, and not in another. For each one
shall bear his own load.” And it is
also written, “Let him who is taught
the word share in all good things with
him who teaches” (Galatians 6:6).
First, Paul
said, “For if anyone thinks himself
to be something, when he is nothing, he
deceives himself.” We have to examine
the things concerning our faith like these:
“Is my faith really right?” “Did I make
up my mind to serve the Lord wholly by
believing in and relying onto Him?” “Am
I following the Lord wherever He leads
me, separating myself from the world?”
“Perhaps, am I not trying to live only
for myself because my mind is not separated
from the world?” “Do I really have faith
in God?” “Am I a real worker of God?"
It is written
that if anyone thinks himself to be something,
when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
Although we are leading a life of faith,
we get to realize that there are many
insufficient parts in our faith when we
reflect on ourselves before God. You might
find that you are way far insufficient
as men of faith, when you ask yourselves
whether or not you believe in the Lord
wholly, live with Him, and have become
one who receives the glory with Him. We
have to learn the Truth before God to
know His righteousness. For that, we have
to remove the dirt from our minds, and
we have to follow the Lord by faith, step
by step. We have to examine if our faith
is proper or not when we look at the Word
with faith before God. And we have to
teach many people by becoming the people
of faith.
I really agree
with the Word that says, “Let him who
is taught the word share in all good tings
with him who teaches” (Galatians 6:6).
The one who teaches the Word of God must
believe and follow the Word because it
is the Word from God. And the one who
is taught also has to believe and follow
all that God has said.
The Apostle
Paul continued, “Do not be deceived,
God is not mocked; for whatever a man
sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians
6:7). God says He cannot be mocked
by us. It means, don’t even think that
we can deceive God. God knows everything,
even if we say that our faith is something
when our faith is actually nothing.
And he said,
“For whatever a man sows, that he will
also reap.For he who sows to his flesh
will of the flesh reap corruption, but
he who sows to the Spirit will of the
Spirit reap everlasting life” (Galatians
6:7-8). It means that we the born-again
do the works of the flesh as well as the
works of the Spirit after being born again;
we will reap whatever we have sown. Sometimes,
especially when we are young in faith,
we sow the things of the flesh because
we have deficiencies of the flesh. However,
if we serve the Lord by faith continually
and work for the Lord, we can do the works
of the Holy Spirit. If we keep on preaching
the gospel to every nation all over the
world, the will of God will be fulfilled
shortly and the number of the born-again
people will be greatly increased. So,
there are things in our harvest that will
spoil, but there are also things that
will last forever. If we devote ourselves
to the spiritual works of reaping the
fruit of the Holy Spirit, an even greater
number of people from every nook and corner
of the world will soon be delivered from
their sins by believing in the gospel
of the water and the Spirit. I mean to
say that we reap the fruits of the Holy
Spirit by doing these spiritual works.
What the Lord
says will all be accomplished without
fail. If we serve the gospel now, there
will surely be spiritual fruit, but if
we do not serve the gospel now, there
will only be the spoiled fruit of the
flesh. The fruit we reap will be decided
according to what we serve after receiving
the remission of sins.
Now,
We Are Doing World Mission
Now, there
are many people in the world who believe
and follow this Truth, the gospel of the
water and the Spirit. And I believe that
there are many other people who believe
in this true gospel in their mind even
they do not contact us. And there would
be another big number of people who know
the gospel Truth but don’t have concrete
faith in it. I am sure that they will
be the martyrs professing their faith
in the true gospel like us when the terrible
times come in the last days.
If we preach
the gospel of the water and the Spirit
to the souls now, we will reap true fruits
from them, but if we do not preach the
gospel now, there will be no fruit. How
can a farmer reap the crops in the fall
if he did not cultivate the fields in
the spring? This spiritual work is the
same. To serve the gospel faithfully,
we have to live by faith believing in
the gospel of the water and the Spirit,
praying, and putting our faith into action.
God wants to spread the gospel all over
the world through us even though we are
insufficient. Do you believe in this?
In fact, while
I was visiting some countries, I found
many Korean missionaries had already visited
there. But, I can’t explain how they tormented
us, who went there to preach the gospel
of the water and the Spirit. They said,
“Why did you come here to our area?” They
cover their real minds and pretend to
be kind, but it is too obvious to me.
When we told them that we had gone there
to preach the gospel of the water and
the Spirit, we thought they would be pleased
with us. But instead, they guarded themselves
against us, asking, “When and why did
you come here? Which religious organization
do you belong to?” These questions seemed
like they were treating us as criminals.
They were not serving the gospel of the
water and the Spirit. They seemed like
the people who were busy informing their
own denominations and the names of their
leaders. They were not interested in preaching
the gospel of the water and the Spirit
to the lost souls.
Among the people
known as the famous gospel preachers,
there are many people who just worked
to leave their names and their own righteousness
behind. The saint of Africa, Livingston
was one of them. He treated the sick people
in inland Africa and gave them injections.
Africans praised him as a Saint. He did
good things for them physically, but he
did nothing good for the salvation of
the lost souls there. He couldn’t do truly
good things for them because he didn’t
know the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
The Bible says,
“He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless
come again with rejoicing, Bringing his
sheaves with him” (Psalms 126:6).
I believe that those who labored for the
gospel of the water and the Spirit will
reap the fruit of everlasting lives. We
have to labor hard for these works and
we have to share the loads of God. It
is really needed for you to give yourself
for God’s work. If you dedicate yourself
to the Lord wholly as a grain of wheat
that has fallen on the ground, then many
people will be saved through what you
have done. If we do not preach the gospel
all over the world, they will die without
being born again.
We will preach
the gospel of the water and the Spirit
all over the world, even if we do not
visit there personally. We will fulfill
the works that God entrusted to us even
though we have lots of difficulties now.
In the near future, we will face really
hard times when we cannot preach the gospel
any more. Then we will gather together
at our retreat center and have great times
together eating lots of delicious foods
everyday. And if the antichrist forces
us to receive a mark on our right hands
or foreheads, we will volunteer to embrace
our martyrdom with the Spirit-filled hope
for Heaven. And if there comes the time
to die a martyr, we will volunteer to
embrace martyrdom with the Spirit-filled
hope for Heaven. We will shout like this,
“I would rather die. Kill me quickly.
The Kingdom of the Lord comes soon.” My
fellow believers, those who actually have
devoted themselves to the Lord are not
afraid of embracing martyrdom. Is it a
lie? Of course, death is emotionally frightening.
But, when we see it through a spiritual
aspect, it is not frightening. It is not
frightening because there is hope.
Let us live
for the gospel of the water and the Spirit
diligently at this time when we can preach
the gospel. And let us plant a lot for
the gospel. We shouldn’t stop at this
point. It is still far to reach the finish
line. Still, there are countries that
are not aware of Christianity. We can’t
imagine how behind their economy is, and
they don’t even have knowledge about God.
When I went
on a mission trip to Mongolia, I asked
a man about God and he told me that God
was Buddha. So, they acknowledge the notion
of God as Buddha. They do not use the
word God for the notion of the Absolute
God, instead they use the word Buddha,
and they believe Buddha as the absolutely
omnipotent god. We have to let them hear
about Jesus Christ who came by the true
gospel of the water and the Spirit. We
have to return the name, position, seat,
and authority of God to Him, which has
been alternated by Buddha. We have to
teach them clearly that Buddha was a human
being and God is the Creator of all thethe
entire universe. That is why we
have so many things to do.
As the farmers
do not reap the crops from the beginning,
we have to cultivate the fields of salvation
little by little. Farmers cultivate the
seeds of rice in the seedbed and transplant
the seedlings to the rice field. Like
a farmer transplants the rice sprouts
into the rice field and cultivates them
during whole summer, we have to plant
the seeds of the gospel according to the
time, raise them, and transplant them
as the children of God and the workers
of God. Therefore, we have to preach the
gospel and nourish them. We have to preach
the gospel even to the remote countries,
pray for them, support them with the materials,
and send the missionaries there if needed.
We, the domestic
members of The New Life Mission, have
to work hard to support the gospel. As
if there are troops in the rear and troops
on the front line, we the staff workers
can preach the gospel successfully with
the abundant support of our members. So,
the domestic members can be considered
as the troops in the rear, with the bows,
while the staff workers of our mission
can be considered as the front troops,
with the arrows.
There are so
many works of God that we actually have
to do. We are facing very important situations,
and our mission will decline if we just
stop here. If we send our books with their
native languages, and bring up the co-workers
there, many souls will be saved. We don’t
have time to hang around. Each of us has
to work bearing each one’s load when we
can work for God. There are so many things
to do.
We wanted to
preach the gospel to the souls in the
Indochina Peninsula, but we couldn’t preach
the gospel freely because all those countries
in the region had been under Communism.
How could we preach the gospel to those
countries? The only way was to meet the
people from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia,
teach them the gospel of the water and
the Spirit, and send them to their mother
countries again after raising them as
the disciples of Jesus. It is thankful
for many people to receive the remission
of sins, but it is important to train
the workers who will work more and more
diligently because there are so many things
to do.
I agree with
this passage, “And let us not grow
weary while doing good, for in due season
we shall reap if we do not lose heart”
(Galatians 6:9). Do good diligently,
work diligently, serve this gospel diligently,
and pray diligently. If we do not grow
weary, we shall reap in due season. It
means we shall reap if we do God’s work
diligently.
You may have
read the messages from all over the world
that they have received salvation. Could
they have received salvation if we did
not preach the gospel of the water and
the Spirit? We are reaping the fruits
of salvation because we made and sent
them our gospel books. A man professed
that he has been studying theology throughout
his life; but this book gives more influence
than all the things that he has ever learned.
Like this passage, “And let us not
grow weary while doing good, for in due
season we shall reap if we do not lose
heart,” if we work for the gospel
diligently, we will reap the fruits of
faith abundantly. We have to do God’s
work diligently when we have a chance
to.
“Therefore,
as we have opportunity, let us do good
to all, especially to those who are of
the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10).
This means
that we the born-again have to give attention
to our fellow saints who also have been
born again, and we have to take care of
them. We have to teach them that the born
again must live by faith (Romans 1:17),
and lead them with the prayers to live
by faith, and we have to help them if
they need help. It is proper for the born-again
to pay their attentions to nonbelievers
in order to preach the gospel to them.
But you shouldn't take care of those people,
who are not born again yet, just physically
even though they are your family members.

We have to
serve and preach the gospel as the opportunity
comes. The first half of this year has
passed already. What are we doing while
the time flies like an arrow? And what
did we do? And what do we have to do in
the future? We cannot but look back upon
the past. We will work more and we will
update more electronic books so that more
than tens of thousands of people all over
the world can access our website to take
our books each day.
Now, we can
go to any part of the earth easily and
immediately if we wish, because it is
different from the ancient times of riding
a ship and horses. The world got closer
together. This is the time we can preach
the gospel to the best of our ability.
We can work throughout the whole world
now. My fellow believer, I do not mean
that you do not work. I mean to say, let
us think about how to bear the loads of
Christ.
Even if you
have been bearing a lot of loads until
now, you should not be discouraged in
the future because we have to preach the
gospel all over the world until the day
that the Lord will come. I know that the
time will come soon when we cannot preach
the gospel. Let us live bearing the loads
for the gospel while we can preach it.
Are there times
when complaints are arising and you want
to take off all the loads because your
burden is heavy? But the load of the Lord
is a mysterious one that enables you to
be stronger as you bear more loads. If
we cannot take all the loads because we
are carrying too much, the Lord will take
them for us, so they will not be heavy.
The loads of the Lord get lighter as we
bear more, but if you jut take them off,
the loads of the world will press you
more.
We, the believers
of the gospel of the water and the Spirit
were glorified to bear the loads of the
Lord. I give thanks before the Lord.
