Exemplary Churches and Saints
(Acts 10:30-33)
What is an example? “It has a representation that deserves an example.”
I hope you will meet the exemplary church and members through the text.
1. First, it is a praying church and saints.
Saints are beings who continue to have a spiritual encounter with God through prayer.
Look at verse 30, “Cornelius said to him, Four days ago, until this time, while I was praying in my house for the ninth hour, suddenly a man dressed in a bright robe stood before me. . .” he said.
What is always praying? Prayer is like breathing.
Prayer is the basis of our religious life.
Please believe that you will never meet God if you do not pray.
When we pray, God meets us.
Deuteronomy 4:29 says, “If you seek him with all your heart and all your soul, you will find him.” It is a promise to meet God if we pray.
When we pray, the amazing work of answers will appear.
The work of healing takes place when we pray.
2. Second, the church and the saints who give alms are exemplary.
I believe that you have granted blessings to churches and members who are exemplary in salvation.
Luke 6:38 He said, “Give, and it will be given to you, and I will give it to you, pressing it generously, shaking it, and overflowing with it.”
3. Third, the church and the saints who worship in spirit and truth are exemplary.
Believers must be successful in worship. The church begins its concrete and basic work toward God through worship.
Cornelius was an exemplary person for worship. Verse 33 says, “We are all before God to hear all that you have commanded us.”
It looks like they are gathering before the servants of God to hear the word of the Lord.
We really need to focus on worship.
To succeed in worship, you must have a deep longing for grace.
You must have the mind to prepare in advance. We must prepare to listen to the Word with our hearts. And, you must have a heart to welcome the servant of the Lord.
You must have faith that you are in the presence of God.
Abraham enjoyed a wonderful blessing while offering an exemplary worship service.
4. Fourth, exemplary churches and believers must be filled with the Holy Spirit.
When Peter preached the word, the work of being filled with the Holy Spirit happened to all who heard it. When we repent and pray earnestly, we will be filled with the Holy Spirit. We believe that the fullness of the Holy Spirit comes when we listen to the Word with earnest longing and sing praises earnestly.
The church should be praised for being a church.
We believe that God has established Yeokwang Church as an exemplary church.
Our church will exist as an exemplary church until the day of the coming of the Lord.
It will be a church that prays and a church that gives alms.
It will be firmly established as a church that worships and is filled with the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, it will become a church that becomes the joy of God. ♣
