Title: The Cultivator (Genesis 2:4-6)
Contents
① “The Lord God did not send rain on the earth, and there was no man to till it, so the field had no vegetation yet, and the field had no vegetation…” ② God, the earth, and God’s blessings, and the vegetation of the field He was saying that all the fruits and vegetables of the field are for “those who will cultivate them.”
“Who is the one to cultivate?”
① “Cultivation” refers to the cultivation of land by plowing the land. ② The saints, who have been regenerated by receiving the grace of Jetaek, creation, and re-creation, plow the field of mind and body devastated by the Fall and the field of the wicked world, and remove the weeds of sin, injustice and fire “The word that is spirit and life” (John 6:63) and “the word of everlasting life” (6:68) sow the living and enduring Word (1 Peter 1:23), the seed of God, so that the man of God grows, bears fruit, They are farmers who cultivate salvation and make whole. ③ Our Savior, Jesus, through the life and death of the cross, who is the saint, pulled out all the weeds of sin, injustice, and fire, made good soil, lived as a cultivator, and gave the mission of cultivation to the saints. ④ Saints must cultivate mind and character, cultivating works, cultivating possessions, and cultivating society throughout their lifetime ⑤ “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth….. subdue the earth… and have dominion over all living things” (Genesis 1:28) According to the Word, we must cultivate nature through pioneering, clearing, developing, creating, and constructing life.
“It Makes Rain on the Cultivator”
① “God did not send rain on the earth because there was no one to till it” means that it will rain when there are people who will cultivate it and work must be done. ② “Rain” is the blessing of the Holy Spirit that cultivates the true man, God's man, God's blessing that makes the spiritual and physical work of the saints prosper, and the grace of God's rain that makes the saints' food, clothing and shelter prosperous. ③ Because the rain of blessings from God is for the cultivation of people, the saints give them rain of blessings when they cultivate people, the temple of the body, and when they build, and if they stop cultivating, the rain of blessings will stop and disaster will come. (Haggai chapters 1 2, 1 Corinthians 3:16 17) ④ When the Son Jesus came into the world and was good at cultivating, he poured out the Holy Spirit like he did. ⑤ He said that God, the farmer, nurtures us so that we can bear more fruit because we leave a pear with the talent we have received, prepare oil well, and do a good job of cultivating grapes that produce a lot of grapes.
“Enriching the Cultivator with Food, Food, and Food”
① Because there were no people to cultivate, God did not send rain and made the fields not produce vegetation or vegetables. ② The vegetation and vegetables of the field are the physical and spiritual that humans obtain through clearing, development, cultivation, and reproduction. He was talking about daily necessities and food, clothing and shelter. ③ The food, clothing, and shelter of the saints is given for cultivating people, and he adjusts the food, clothing and shelter in direct proportion to the amount of cultivation work. ④ Therefore, Jesus said, “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4) and ⑤ “Do not worry about what you will eat or drink or wear... Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:23-33). ⑥ For believers who are good at cultivating people, there is no economic stagnation both physically and mentally, only abundance. ⑦ The reason why the saints are suffering from depression both physically and spiritually is because they do not cultivate or neglect their work.
“Those Blessed for Success in Cultivation”
① Jesus completely succeeded in cultivating people, received all authority in heaven and on earth, and ascended to the throne of kings who put all things under his feet ② Abraham, the father of faith, succeeded in cultivating and became the father of faith, blessing ③ Joseph and Daniel ascended to the positions of Prime Minister. ④ All blessings of God are placed on the foundation of human cultivation. ⑤ Success, repair, and blessing without human cultivation are construction on the sand, so the greater the success, the greater the woes. ⑥ Let the saints do well in cultivating with fear and trembling, so that they may become full of wealth, honor, authority, and glory for the eternity of this life and the life to come. ⑦ Cultivation will be completely successful when it becomes food for the Lord who has come through the word and inspiration by denying himself and killing himself.
