Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 28:20b
28:20 … and lo, I am with you always, evento the end of the age.” Amen.

The accompaniment of God is our main need because everything is useless without Him. Even the kingdom of Heaven is useless without God.

The accompaniment of God is to the end of the age. It means He is with us from now in the middle of difficult world so our life will be easy and light. Moreover, He is also with us during the days of antichrist that will reign for three years and a half, so we will be evacuated to the wilderness. He is also with us until we are lifted up to the glorious clouds on His second coming. At last, we will sit together with Him on the throne of Heaven forever.

Revelation 3:21
3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Who may get the accompaniment of God starting from now on until to sit together with Him on His throne? They are those who overcome together with Jesus.

Philippians 2:8-10
2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point ofdeath, even the death of the cross.
2:
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
2:
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

Jesus is obedient until He dies on the cross so He receives the name which has the power to beat Satan the trinity. He is glorified to the highest place and sits on the throne of Heaven.

Thus, the requirement to win together with Jesus is we must be obedient until the flesh does not sound anymore.
As an example in the Holy Bible, Abraham was obedient until sacrificing Isaac, his only son. He does not listen to the voice of the flesh so he can be obedient.

Being obedient equals to being wise, being disobedient equals to being foolish.

The practices of being obedient or wise are as follows.

  1. Being used in the building of spiritual house or the body of Christ on the rock, that is the sacrifice of Christ.
    Matthew 7:24
    7:24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

    The signs of having strong foundation are as follows.

    • Having faith, believing on Jesus as the only Savior.
      In Tabernacle, it refers to the Gate.
    • Repenting (Altar of Burnt Offering), that is stopping sinning to return to God, dying to sins.
    • Water baptism (Brazen Laver).
      Romans 6:4
      6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

      The true water baptism is one who has died to sin must be buried in water together with Jesus and come out of water to raise in new life, that is Heavenly life, meaning being set free from sins.

      Colossians 2:11-12
      2:11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ,
      2:
      12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Himthrough faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

      Being circumcised equals to being buried in water baptism so we are saved.

      Ezekiel 32:24
      32:24 “There isElam and all her multitude,
All around her grave, All of them slain, fallen by the sword,
Who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth,
Who caused their terror in the land of the living; Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.

      If one does not want to be buried in water baptism, he will be buried in the hell forever.

    • Holy Spirit baptism (Door of Tabernacle).
      Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth. Holy Spirit baptism makes us live in righteousness.

      Proverbs 10:25
      10:25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked isno more,
But the righteous hasan everlasting foundation.

      The righteous is the everlasting foundation. He will endure, not fall down but win over Satan the trinity.

      Matthew 7:25
      7:25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.


      • The rain refers to Satan with evil and unclean spirit that leads to sins concerning eating-drinking and marrying-being given in marriage. If we win, we will be able to live in righteousness and holiness.

      • The winds refer to false prophet with lying spirit and false teaching. If we win, we will be honest in the true teaching Word and in everything.
      • The floods refer to antichrist with the spirit of selling-buying (the bond of money) that makes one stingy and greedy. If we win, we will be able to give to the work of God or to the others who are in need.

      Philippians 2:10-11
      2:10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
      2:
      11 and thatevery tongue should confess that Jesus Christ isLord, to the glory of God the Father.

      The results of endurance are as follows.

      • The tongue is only to confess Jesus, that is confessing sins to God and the others. If we are forgiven, we must not do sins anymore.
      • The tongue is only used to say right words.
      • Until the tongue is only used to worship God. We do not stumble in word and only say “Alleluia”.
        James 3:2
        3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he isa perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.


  2. Being a shining star.
    Daniel 12:3
    12:3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.

    It is the building above the foundation. Being a shining star means being priest and king who are used to glorify and exalt God, and being a blessing to the others.

    The signs of being a shining star are as follows.

    • Working out our salvation with fear and trembling.
      Philippians 2:12-13
      2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
      2:
      13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for Hisgood pleasure.

      It means we minister God with fear and trembling, that is with faithfulness and responsibility. It refers to Golden Candlestick, that is perseverance in General Service.
      We minister God according to His will through the shepherding Word. When God asks us, we must not reject Him because once we will not be able to do His will anymore.
      We also minister Him with willingness to sacrifice for Him, not by force.

    • Ministering God without complaining and disputing, but keeping giving thanks and worshiping Him.
      Philippians 2:14
      2:14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,

      It refers to Golden Altar of Incense, that is perseverance in Prayer Service.

    • Holding fast to the Word of life, meaning holding fast to the true teaching Word and being obedient to it. Thus the Word will become our flesh and blood, and become our life experience.
      Philippians 2:16
      2:16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

      It refers to Table of Showbread, that is perseverance in Bible Study Service and Holy Communion.

    Thus, to become a shining star, we must persevere in three main services and be a well and right shepherded life. There is no best place in this world except the well and right sheepfold (Goshen).

    If we are not shepherded, we will become a star that will be drawn by the tail of the dragon.

    Revelation 1:20
    1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

    The position of a shining star is in the strong right hand of God.

    Psalm 118:15-16
    118:15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation
Isin the tents of the righteous;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.
    118:16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord does valiantly.

    The result is the right hand of God does valiantly.

    • Caring our life miraculously in the middle of this difficult world.
    • Giving us victory over this world with all its influence (bustle, sadness, happiness, et cetera).
    • Exalting us, lifting us up from all failures, so everything will be successful and beautiful in His time.

      Philippians 2:16
      2:16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

      When Jesus comes a second time, everything we do will not be in vain and we will be with Him forever.

  3. Taking oil for supply, so the lamp keeps burning.
    Matius 25:4,10
    25:4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
    25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

    In Tabernacle, it refers to the Most Holy Place. The requirement of having the oil for supply so the lamp keeps burning is we must worship God more (shutting the door).

    Matthew 6:6
    6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who isin the secret place;and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

    It means that we must struggle privately, also together with our family.

    2 Kings 4:4-7
    4:4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
    4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vesselsto her; and she poured itout.
    4:
    6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”And he said to her, “There isnot another vessel.” So the oil ceased.
    4:
    7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you andyour sons live on the rest.”

    We must struggle to receive Holy Spirit abundantly, that is the oil for supply.

    Romans 5:5
    5:5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

    Until we receive the great love of God. It means God struggles with us.

    The usefulness of God’s love is as follows.

    • We can be strong and of good courage. We are not disappointed or proud of something. We are not discouraged in facing anything. We keep being faithful and fervent in spirit in our ministry to God.

      Disappointment happens more within marriage [Colossians 3:21]. Let us shut the door more and ask for God’s love. Do not grumble.
      Disappointment also happens because of temptations, problems, et cetera [Exodus 6:8]. We need God’s love.
      Disappointment also happens in ministry. Let us not blame the others, but let God’s love help us.

    • Solving all our problems, even the impossible ones.
    • Setting us free from the grip of antichrist (the debt collector), so we have no more desire.
    • Giving us strength to wait Jesus’ second coming.
    • Uniting us starting from within our marriage, church, up to the perfect body of Christ who is ready to welcome His second coming. We will sit together with Him on the throne of Heaven forever.

      Colossians 3:14
      3:14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

      Let us struggle more and shut the door. God will struggle with us until everything is finished.

God blesses us.
