[Sermon] The Spiritual City of Refuge and the Earth (2)

Image
The Spiritual City of Refuge and the Earth What we're living in the earth is likened to a journey. It means that when we finish our journey, then we have to go back somewhere and this earth will never be the final destination where we're going or the place where we come from. Sometimes the journey could be joyful and happy, or causes the traveler to want to return to his home with tiredness and fatigue. As we watched the video, the city of refuge in the Old Testament that those who committed a crime involuntarily fled to is the shadow and we, the sinners who committed a grievous sin in heaven, have the spiritual city of refuge, the earth as its reality. Nu 35:12 They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that a person accused of murder may not die before he stands trial before the assembly. Nu 35:25 The assembly must protect the one accused of murder from the avenger of blood and send him back to the city of refuge to which he fled. He must stay there unti

[Sermon] The Feasts and God's Commandments

Image
The Feasts and God's Commandments As saying, the truth is near at hand. The matter is how he finds the truth. If he doesn’t neglect or look away from what he has to listen to and pay attention to, and all the way he’s looking forward to the truth, he can find it at last. God will help him to grab the truth in his hand.   What we should regard as precious and pay attention to is God’s commands and laws through which we, the children of God Elohim, get eternal salvation by Their grace. Here, in this video, we need to notice that God’s laws, God’s commands and the Ten Commandments are the same, not different and all those are related on the basis of God’s feasts, Isa 33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stake will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. When LORD God said to Moses to come up to the mountain and gave him the tables of stone which referred to t

[Mother] The History of Abraham's Family and Mother (2)

The History of Abraham's Family and Mother (2) A: I believe in God and I'm glad to call God "my Father". B: Oh, really? A: Also I'm proud of myself to be called "my child" by God. B: Wow, awesome! Then, are you the member of God's family? A: What? God's family? I haven't heard it in the Bible. B: But you told me that. You call Him "God the Father" and God acknowledges you as His child. A: On hearing you, that makes sense. I come to understand that I'm the member of God's family. B: Then, where is you Mother? A: What? God the Mother? I haven't thought about it so far. B: But you told me that. You have God the Father. Thus it must be the existence of 'SOMEONE', who gave birth to you, isn't it? And She should be called 'God the Mother' for you. A: Em,,, On hearing you, I have to check it through the Bible! Jn 1:12 To all who received him[God], to those who believed in h

[Mother] The Source of Water of Life (2)

Image
The Source of Water of Life (2) What would happen if we cannot  drink enough water a day? Everybody surely assumes it would cause some problems in our body. In the researches and some events, it is believed that we can live without food until 7 days, but live until 21 days with no water. It refers to that as long as water is supplied our life can last more than three weeks. Basically human body is known to be made of the water and it is regarded as the essence to all the creatures. No living organisms can live without the water. How about losing water in our body? If our body lacks of 1 or 2% of the water, it will cause an inanition and dehydration which is a state exhausted and worn out and we will suffer from extreme thirst. And if we lose 12% of the water, we will die of thirst. So it doesn't exaggerate to say that the water is life itself,. Just as all the creatures including human being need the water to sustain our physical life, our spiritual life should

[Mother] How Much Do We Look Alike?

Image
Copyright © World Mission Society Church of God. All Rights Reserved. How Much Do We Look Alike? There was a interesting research about  twins. Usually twins have the very similar DNA structures genetically in the body and if one twin were sick and had a disease the other twin would have the high possibility to be the same and even in the feelings. Twins are known as two people who  have the same mother and were born on the same day. There are two types of twins, one is the identical twins and the other is the binovular twins. The identical twins  look exactly the same and look after each other very much whereas the binovular twins are derived from two different binovular fertilization and they don't look the same and sometimes look different. Interestingly the binovular twins are of different genders in some cases. Ge 1:26~27 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness." So God created man in his own image, in the image

[Mother] The Teachings of Heavenly Mother

Copyright © World Mission Society Church of God. All Rights Reserved. The Teachings of Heavenly Mother Here are the precious instructions; the teachings of Heavenly Mother which is leading us to the kingdom of heaven. One , it is more blessed to give love than to receive, as God always gives love. Two , when we give glory to God, the glory returns to us. Three , a beautiful mind has to hate, and brings forth a perfect love. Four , as Abraham was blessed with the better when he conceded to his nephew Lot, so we are blessed even more when we concede to our brothers and sisters. Five , being arrogant means wanting to be served. Six , though others do not work, we should not complain but do our work faithfully. Having the mind of a master makes us work with pleasure and with ease. Seven , arrogance comes from the mind full of complaint. When we serve God always with thanksgiving, complaint and arrogance recede from us, and humility dwell

[Mother] God the Mother in the Universe of Fifth Dimension

Image
Copyright © World Mission Society Church of God. All Rights Reserved. God the Mother in WMSCOG The universe is described as mysterious, vast, and unlimited which is extending its distance and expanding its area  even until now by activating its energy. So far the matter of how the universe was formed at the beginning and who created it and how much wide and big and far it is, is controversial among the scientists because they tend to believe the things they witness with their eyes. In some way, it is reasonable that no one knows about it except him who made it and created it. Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Here, "God" is written in Hebrew language as "Elohim" which means God is counted more than two Gods. Since the heavens and the earth and all things were created by Elohim God, only They knows every details about the universe. Jer 10:11 "Tell them this: 'These gods, who did not make the heavens and the e

[Sermon] I Was Blind But Now I See!

Image
I Was Blind But Now I See! [Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother] There is a fairy tale handed down by tradition, which is about a good daughter with filial piety to sacrifice herself for her blind father. Until then she felt so bad that her father hadn't see anything even her face. She was truly eager to have her blind father see again, by selling herself in exchange for some money. According to the neuroscience, there are the five traditionally recognized senses; sight(vision) operated by eyes, hearing by ears, smell by nose, taste by tongue and touch by the hands or felt by the skin. Among five senses, the sense of sight is valued more than 90 percents in the physical body. Therefore being blind is to lose the gladness mostly as living in the dark. Here, in the Bible there is another blind said by Jesus. Mt 13:14~15 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. Th

[Sermon] The First Commandment & the Passover

Image
The First Commandment and the Passover [World Mission Society Church of God] Most of churches are teaching what is the 'first commandment' among the Ten Commandments given to Moses on the mount Horeb in the Old Testament times. And they only emphasize how much important the First Commandment is, but don't let the saints learn what it is and how they keep God's laws in the fulfillment of the first commandment. The word, 'first' itself is sounded to have a priority than the rest of the others, dealing with before everything else we have to do, and implies a supreme value in the sequences. Even though there are the next orders, but the first should be ahead of the others and put at the very beginning. Now, let's compare the first commandment of Moses and that of Jesus. Ex 20:1~3 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. "You shall have no other gods before me." The LORD Jehovah, God the

[Sermon] The Power of God's Word

Image
The Power of God's Word [World Mission Society Church of God] God is known as Almighty, omnipotent and omniscient, and the definition of the word is to having great power and authority, unlimited and infinite, and having complete knowledge, understanding and awareness, and perceiving all things. Therefore with God all things are possible and nothing is impossible for Him. Also Jesus said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God." (Lk 18:27) It means that God has power. In other words, God can do everything and He enables those who believe in Him to do everything, because God's words are powerful. Ex 14:16 The LORD said, "Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the Red Sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground." During Exodus, God enabled Moses to divide the Red Sea so that the Israelites go through on dry ground. Ex 16:4 Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will rain down bread [m

[Sermon] He Who Believes & He Who Doesn’t

Image
He Who Believes and He Who Doesn't [Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother] Christianity is defined in the dictionary, as 'It is a religion that is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and the belief that He was the savior.' And Christian is defined in the dictionary, as 'It is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.' The term 'Christianity and Christian' are derived from 'Christ' that has the same meaning of Messiah, which refers to the One sent to the believers by God in order to save them. Mt 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. It is because the First Coming Jesus was regarded as the savior after His death to those who believed as the savior, though in the New Testament times the Jews denied Him. Thus to those who believed in Him and prayed to Him, Jesus made them healed and get redemption. Mt 21:21~22 Jesus replied,

[Mother] Who Do You Take After?

Image
Lets Us Make Man in Our Image and in Our Likeness I've often heard from birth that I really take after my mother. People used to compare my mom and me when I was a baby, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, my mom was pleased to hear what people were saying. I was glad that my mom was smiling and be pleasant because I took after my mom and it made her happy. Ge 1:27 God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. I was born of the image of God, especially the female image of God. Thus When compared God and me, pointing to my eyes, nose and mouth, I should really take after God. 2Co 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. I call the male image of God a Father. I call the female image of God a Mother. I call God Elohim Heavenly Parents. I'm happy to be Their child, as a daughter. I'm happy They call me 'a daughter', even the beloved ch

[Mother] The Members of the Heavenly Family

Image
The Members of the Heavenly Family I recently had a chance to talk about the type of a household to the students. Surprisingly there are many different types of a household which all are accepted as a household. Basically a household is defined as all the people in a family or a group who live together in a house. As enumerating them, there are grandparents-grandchildren household, adoption household, multicultural household, only-grandparents household, single-parent household, a single person household, and remarriage household, etc. At this point, I don't want to criticize any of them, nor emphasize which type is good or not. All households deserve what they are. However, let's think about a family, especially the family members. Regardless the type of households, if there is a baby; a son or a daughter, it must be a father and a mother. There is no creature that is born without father and mother, in other words every creature should have their physical par

[Mother] Becoming a Mother

Image
Becoming a Mother What do you think of 'Becoming a Mother'? Or What do you think about 'Being a Mother'? Becoming a mother is not easy but very difficult, and it is said the pain of giving birth to a baby is like returning from the brink of death. Thus a few mothers choose to get a Cesarean section to reduce the pain of laboring. Nonetheless most of mothers insist on natural childbirth, even though they're provided any drugs to relieve the pain. It is because a Cesarean section might cause the serious potential side effects to a baby and after being given birth, not have a time with his mom right away. Isa 13:8 Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. It is believed that the laboring pain can be compared to the sky looking pale in all directions, and usually the moms after giving birth announce she would never do the same again. How about our Spiritual Mother, Jerusalem Heavenly Mother? She has b

[Mother] Heavenly Parents' Day

Image
Heavenly Parents' Day Many countries have a celebration with the commemorative events to express gratitude to fathers and mothers. It is called  Father's Day,  Mother's Day and  Parents' Day. According to online dictionary website of Encyclopedia(Wikipedia), more than 100 countries are celebrating 'Father's Day', and about 40 countries 'Mother's Day', and 3 countries 'Parents' Day'. And these are observed on various days in different countries from March to June. Regardless of the title, the meaning of a celebration is the same, in showing the respect and honour to their parents. It is certain that people is aware of the importance the existence of their parents and as a child; whether a son or a daughter, honouring their parents who gave life to them is their duty throughout the world. 2Co 6:18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. In the same way, as a spiritual c

[Mother] Finding My Heavenly Parents

Image
Finding My Heavenly Parents One of my favorite movies is ‘Finding Nemo’, which is the animated movie and is considered well-made film for young kids.   While watching the movie, I was very impressed that the daddy, who lost his son in an accident, Nemo, went to search for his son corner to corner throughout the Pacific ocean, blaming himself, but didn’t give up in any circumstances until he found his loving son at last. What the daddy felt so sorry about Nemo is that his son, a clownfish, was born with a deformed fin, whose one fin is smaller than the other normal sized fin.   The love of daddy clownfish reminds me of that my Heavenly Parents’ love. They’ve never hesitated at all and already come to seek me, ardently calling my name. It’s time for me to seek my Heavenly Parents and find Them; God the Father and God the Mother   Isa 55:6~7 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let them turn to the LORD, and he(God)

[Mother] The Spiritual Jerusalem and the Spiritual Pilgrims

Image
God the Mother; The Spiritual Jerusalem and the Spiritual Pilgrims I enjoy watching the TV show of traveling around the world that introduces the foreign countries. Among them, there are some episodes telling about people who are making a pilgrimage.   A pilgrimage is commonly thought that someone makes a journey to a holy place and a sacred site for a religious reason such as Jerusalem, Mecca, and India which are regarded as the birthplace of those religion; Christianity, Islam and Buddhism respectively.   They’re willingly spending tremendous expenses to go on a pilgrimage, even if it is a long distance and takes a long time, putting a lot of efforts, and they feel pride of being a pilgrim to the Holy Land.   How about this? What if are you suggested a ‘Spiritual Pilgrimage’, real and authentic, to the Spiritual Jerusalem? As prophesied in the Bible, the Holy City of Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, will arise and shine, giving the lig

[Mother] The History of Abraham's Family and Mother (1)

Copyright © World Mission Society Church of God. All Rights Reserved. The History of Abraham's Family and Mother Usually people are interested who becomes heir to the rich man such as millionaire, billionaire, and the world's richest celebrity. Even though it is just a gossip, anyway, it is the important question of who's going to be heir to the great fortune and what he's going to inherit. In the Bible there is the history pertaining to the heir, which is very interesting and mysterious and connected to our salvation. Now I'd like to talk about the history of Abraham's family. There were three candidates to inherit estate of Abraham in the scriptures from Genesis. They were Eliezer of Damascus, Ishmael and Isaac. Since Abraham had no child until his late age in bearing a child, so he wanted Eliezer to be his heir presumptive.(Ge 15:2) However the LORD God promised him to give a child with whom He would establish the covenant, and the child were

[Mother] The Spiritual Father and the Spiritual Mother

Image
The Spiritual Father and the Spiritual Mother Before WMSCOG; World Mission Society Church of God, I was told that I have to call God, 'Lord, Lord' more than 'Father'. Technically I was getting the concept that God is 'Lord' to rule over my life and I should be the servant to submit to Him. I don't say this concept is wrong. However the Bible also testifies to God as our 'Father' and we're His beloved children. Ro 8:15 You did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you receive the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba Father." There're of course many parables in which God is likened to the master and His people taken figuratively into the servant. Nonetheless, God wants us to call Him 'Father'. Just calling God 'Lord, Lord', not doing the will of Him cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, rather those who do the will of Father can pass through the heaven's gate. (Mt 7:21

[Mother] The Bride of the Lamb

The Bride of the Lamb Spring is widely well-known as the popular season for wedding, thus many wedding invitations are printed and sent out to a lot of guests. It usually introduces the groom, the bride, the place of wedding hall, the way how to get there for guests and maybe the short story about a prospective bride and groom. As a matter of fact, the wedding is regard as one of the happiest and joyful events and especially in the case of wedding of prominent figures, people might feel honored to attend the wedding ceremony. Here is the most precious wedding I'd like to introduce eagerly to you. It will be held in heaven and only someone God Elohim acknowledged as Their children can be invited to attend the heavenly wedding banquet, as God said, "Many are invited, but few are chosen." Indeed, how glorious we are to be accepted by God in heavenly wedding banquet! Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb ha

In the Bible all human being is described as the grass and the flower and the grass withers and the flowers fall. Our life, too, which is brief and fleeing will wither and fall some day, but the beautiful deeds of the youth group who're like the dew of dawn won't fade out and rather be inscribed on the star of the sky, pleasing to God Elohim.

[Sermon] The Spiritual City of Refuge and the Earth (1)

Image
The Spiritual City of Refuge and the Earth. The city of refuge reminds me of 'the evacuation shelter' where the victims escape the irresistible disasters or calamities and flee to. If people could not escape and get in there, they would die without any chance to live a life. There is the similar system/regulation in the Old Testament times, which is the city of refuge. In order to flee to the city of refuge, he should meet several conditions and then he can be qualified to be accepted. Nu 35:10~12 They will be cities of refuge from avenger, so that a person accused of murder may not die before he stands trial before the assembly. The matter is that when the accused who are guilty of involuntary manslaughter and flee to the city of refuge can come out, even though he entered there. Does he determine the day to finish his period in the place of refuge? Does he pay a ransom of his unlawful killing to avenger and go back to his own land? In conclusion, it is

[Sermon] Christ Ahnsahnghong Who established Zion

Image
Christ Ahnsahnghong Who established Zion. The name, 'Zion' is used a great number of times in the Bible, because it is the main key to lead us to God, Who forgives our sins and saves us. If only we understand what Zion is and where Zion is and who will establishes Zion that was ruined before, we can meet God and receive the Savior. First of all, Zion originally refers to a specific hill in Israel, so-called Mount Zion and it had appeared first in the Bible when King David conquered the Jebusites fortress and re-named it the City of David. 2Sa 5:7 Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, the City of David. After King David's establishing Zion, sometimes it had been used as the term with the same for Jerusalem and for the Holy Land in a biblical way. However, from a spiritual viewpoint, Zion should be regarded as God's dwelling place where His people celebrate God's festivals; being kept the laws of God and being taught God's teachings
