Title: Live as a Human Lion King
Live as a human lion king (John 21:5)
< New veins rather than human networks >
Fortress networks and connections are considered the most important factors for success. Maintaining good acquaintance with powerful people is a huge help to your success. However, man is not the ultimate object of observation. New connections are more important than personal connections, and prayer lines are more important than connections. Relying on people also causes side effects.
The other day, I was going to lead a chapel to a university, but I was struggling because I didn't know the way. At that point, a school bus from that university suddenly appeared in front of me. I followed him and found the way easily, but I felt like I was choking as I followed him closely because of the soot emitted by the school bus. If you follow people, you will get help to a certain extent and the road will be opened easily, but you have to be prepared for the smell of people. You may lose faith in the smell.
You can't look at the pastor, and you can't look at the saints. Of course, you should not avoid people and like people, but people do not solve the problem. You don't know how much you hate people when you like them, but when you hate them. people are people
Moses looked good when he liked it, but hated it when he didn't like it. It was good when the Israelites left Egypt, but as soon as the water ran out, they complained against Moses. “Did you drag us into the desert to kill us? Is this a land flowing with milk and honey?” People change so easily. There is nothing as futile as living by looking at and relying on people.
Moses overcame the crisis by looking only to God. There are times when we are faced with difficult situations that we cannot do anything about. At that time, do not panic and look to God, and God will surely open the way for you. Even if all directions are blocked, the stomach is always open, and if you raise your eyes to God, you will surely see the way and create hope.
< The first gateway to success >
The most important thing in life is to feel and think about the Lord who is already by my side, and to live only looking at the Lord. At that time, the discouraged disciples did not recognize the Lord even when the Lord was with him. I feel sad when someone doesn't know me, but when the disciples did not know him, he came closer and asked the disciples, "Do you have meat?"
This question is also asked of us. “Anyone! Do you have meat?” The greatest criterion for evaluating life is this question. God has called us to be fishers of men. The greatest purpose of our lives is to obtain a lot of soul meat. Therefore, always live in pursuit of an honest answer to this question.
To that question, the disciples said, “No!” People seem to exist, but in reality they do not exist. It is difficult for even one generation to maintain what they have. A lot of people pretend they don't exist and pretend they don't know. Even if you do it in front of men, you must be honest with God. When you say “There is!” with a high heart before God, God makes it not. On the other hand, when you say “No!” with a low heart, God makes it exist. The true grace of God begins when we know that we are nothing before God.
Why did the disciples receive their mission again? Because I realized, “Without the Lord, I am nothing!” Man's despair is God's hope. Where human power ends, God's power begins. The first gateway to success is the gateway to confession, “No!”. Only when we acknowledge that we are nothing without the Lord, we meet the Lord of miracles.
The happiest life is “Lord! Without the Lord, I have no life.” This is a life of confession. When I completely collapse in the Lord, a powerful life unfolds, and I become the greatest being. Then a surprising sense of self-consciousness arises. 'I' is nothing, but 'I am in the Lord' becomes a great child of God.
In the cartoon movie 'The Lion King', Simba, a young lion, does not know who he is at first and lives with his shoulders and head drooping, eating insects. Then one day, the sage monkey leads him to the water and makes him realize who he is. When Simba saw his reflection in the water, he thought of his father, Mufasa, the king of the jungle. Soon after, I heard my father's voice. “You are my son! This is the Lion King!” It was then that he became the Lion King.
When our traces are erased from within us and the image of the Lord covers us, we become “human lion kings.” Do not live with your head hanging down no matter what happens. Eat worms and don't live like a worm-eaten life. If you truly confess the Lord as your Lord and become a child of the Lord, do not give in to any problem, open your heart proudly, and live as a “human lion king” They were given moments of failure to live like that.
