Message: Pastor Jung Myeong Seok
Scriptures: Psalms 49:20
“People who have wealth but lack understanding
are like the beasts that perish.”
Hallelujah! I pray that you will be filled abundantly with the love of the eternal Holy Father God and the peace of the Holy Son.
Please realize. If you realise and then see, you ‘thoughts’ will be different from what they were in the past.
No matter how beautiful and great Gumkang Mountain is, it does not benefit you even as much as a mountain in front of you does. The mountain in front [of your house] will give you ‘good air’ every day and allow you to ‘stroll’ on it. Land also has to be near your house. Then it will be considered a ‘fertile field right at your front door’. A fertile field right at your front door* is a fertile rice paddy that is near your house. When it is far from your house, it may be ‘good land’ but it cannot be a ‘fertile field right at your front door’*.
(*Translation note: Literal meaning is ‘fertile field right at your front door’, but it implies ‘land that is of the utmost value’.)
Thus, it is the things that are near to you that are ‘more like treasures to you’. Things have to be near to you. Then they are most valuable to you.
Therefore, you must realize that ‘you, yourself’ are valuable and precious. In this way, those who realize deeply are close to God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son and close to Their history.
Realizing is ‘treasure’. You must truly realize. Then you will follow the ‘Lord’ and travel on the ‘path of life’. After you realize, your ‘perception’ changes, and you will repent as you bemoan and lament ‘your ignorance’. Furthermore, you will ‘immediately put it into practice’ and you will make even impossible things possible by taking action on them with all your heart. When you realize, you will not hesitate, you will not delay, you will not move slowly, but will continually take action.
You must realize and be enlightened centering on the Word and the Holy Spirit. Then you will realize correctly. Realize just how precious the Word and the Holy Spirit are and love them.
The person who has realized prospers and does well, so pray even more so that you will realize and know and thus live a full life.
