Lecture 31 (The Seed of Life 3)
Bible passage: Genesis 2:7
[7] Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. ”
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
This is the 31st Lecture on Genesis, 'The Seed of Life' part III. Did you make bread out of last 2 'The Seed of Life' messages? As God the Father explained this 'Seed of Life,' He said He would prove this message is true. The power of God the Father will come on to you when you believe this message and practice it. The aging process will be slow; even if the aging has processed quite far, you will receive the strength to recover youth again. And then, so many of you will testify; "I used to have no strength, but after I heard this 'seed of life' message, I came to think I can do it." "As I decided to do as I told to, and put what I heard in my heart, I was given the breath of life, and now I feel a surge of new strength." "My legs were weak and had no strength, but now they are strengthened.
I used to have no energy, but now I feel energy in me even though I eat a little." The breath of life that God the Father gives is working in me like this." God the Father will work so that many of you can testify like this. And He will reveal how blessed it is to say 'Amen' to the word preached from this altar. I pray in the name of the Lord that tonight you will receive this message by faith and experience the power of God. Dear brothers and sisters. I said that God put all the genetic information concerning a man into the nucleus of a cell. Facial appearance, height, physical constitution, skin color, and etc; all kinds of information about body organs and their functions are stored in such a tiny nucleus. How is it possible? It's so mysterious, isn't it? Thanks to the highly developed scientific technology, people can produce semiconductors. 60 Nano - 8 gigabit memory chip developed by Samsung in 2004 was 4.3 centimeters by 3.6 centimeters; about a half of a normal name card.
This memory chip could store 20,000 books-worth data, or 1,024,000 newspapers. It is such an amazing technology to store such huge information in a size that is just a half of a name card. It is possible even with human wisdom and power; what is it that God the Almighty cannot do? Do you want me to compare the capacity of a man-made memory chip to DNA that God created? The diameter of a nucleus is about 5 micrometers; 0.0005 centimeters. If we write on paper all the DNA genetic information stored in such a tiny nucleus, the paper will become a encyclopedia which contains 3 billion words. If one volume of the encyclopedia had 1,000 pages, the entire encyclopedia is a set of 1,000 volumes; all this huge amount of information is stored in such a tine nucleus. Furthermore, this genetic information is stored in all 60 trillion cells identically. Now, if the size of the nucleus that contains DNA becomes the same with the size of 60 nano-8 gigabit memory chip, the nucleus can contain about 100 million times more information than the a set of 1,000 volumes. In other words, this memory chip can store 20,000 books worth of information, but the nucleus that has the same size as the memory chip would be able to store 100 billion encyclopedias.
If the wisdom and power of man who created the memory chip are amazing, how much more amazing are the wisdom and power of God? Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I said that God planted the seed of life into the cell that becomes the focal point in a man's body. When seen with spiritual eyes, the seed of life can be found in the heart which is both the functional and positional center of the body. Just as blood that pumps out of the heart spreads to every corner of the body, the spiritual strength also pumps from the heart-area and spreads to the whole body and controls entire cells of the body. That's why people instinctively think that 'the mind' is near the heart. When they symbolize the mind, they use the heart shape (¢½) which resembles the heart.
Even if a man's brain is functionally dead, people consider the man to be alive when his heart is beating. Even if he is a brain-dead patient, doctors decide he is dead only when his heart doesn't beat. By the way, you should spiritually understand well the fact that the seed of life is planted in the most focal cell. The seed of life that is planted in the center of the body can be compared to a 'buoy.' A buoy is a floating object that used to show ships and boats where they can go and to warn them of danger. It is connected to the ground under the sea, and thus its location is always fixed no matter how the sea current changes. It is the same that the seed of life is planted in the cell that is the focal center of a body.
The seed of life is planted in a cell of the heart that is both the functional and positional center of a body. However, just as the sea under a buoy keeps changing, the cell that becomes the center of the body can also change. Just as the location of the buoy is fixed in the sea, the seed of life is fixed in the center of the body, overlapping with a cell that is in the center of the body. Cells of the body repeat the cycle of creation and destruction, but the seed of life, in a fixed location, controls other cells of the entire body through a new cell. Let me tell you one more example. The position as "President" has the authority to govern a nation. However, the man who becomes the 'President' may change as his term in office is finished. Even though the man changes, however, the authority given to the position-holder continues. Whoever becomes the 'President' can enjoy the authority as the President. It is the same with the relation between the seed of life and the cell that is located in the center of the body.
The cells in the location may change, but the seed of life that is positioned in a fixed location continues to work through new cells. Now, once this seed of life awakens as the Holy Spirit enters, the spirit needs to be provided with spiritual water and light to grow up. I said that the body can be controlled in the spiritual dimension as the spirit grows up to be big enough to cover the nucleus which is the focal of the body. You should also correctly understand in a spiritual sense that the spirit covers the nucleus that is the focal of the body. The size of the spirit cannot be measured by physical measurement. Moreover, the size of a nucleus (which is about 5 micrometers in diameter) is too small to be visible to our eyes. Then, is the size of the spirit also as small as the nucleus? The size of the spirit can be bigger than the nucleus, and it can be bigger than the earth. Then, why is it that I compare the size of the spirit to the size of the nucleus? It is to help you understand better the controlling scale and range of the spirit.
I already explained that, if the spirit grows to be as big as the nucleus, the control of the flesh over the body stops and thus the body will not age any more. Moreover, I also explained that, as it becomes the whole spirit to much bigger than just covering the nucleus, the control of the body is managed in the spiritual dimension. And I told you 3 phenomena that take place as the body is controlled in the spiritual dimension. First, all the organs of the body begin to function normally, and their conditions are maintained at the best level. Second, germs and viruses cannot enter into you, and you will not be harmed even when you drink poison. Third, you will not get old, but you may also even get your youth back. On entering the spirit, the aging process stops. As you come into the whole spirit, you will not only stop aging, but you will also recover your youthfulness.
There is an actual case of recovering youth in the Bible. Let's take look at Abraham's case first. When Abraham got his only begotten son, Isaac, he was at the age of 100. Romans 4:19 says, "Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb..." When God promised to Abraham at the age of 99 that He would give Abraham a son, his body was not in the physical status of being able to father descendants. It was the same with his wife, Sarah. However, Abraham believed the word of God without any doubt. Abraham and Sarah could conceive Isaac not because they were rejuvenated, but it was possible thanks to the power of God. At this point in time, Abraham had not yet entered the whole spirit; not to mention Sarah. Then, when did Abraham become a man of whole spirit? Abraham became a man of whole spirit when he passed the test of faith of giving up his son, Isaac, as a sacrificial offering. James 2:21-23 says, "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God." As Abraham became the man of whole spirit like this, you can see that he then recovered his youth. Genesis 25:1-2 says, "Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah." When he was 99 years old, he couldn't father children, but he fathered six more sons at an age well over 100 years old. This record can be found to have occurred after Sarah died at the age of 127, and Isaac married at the age of 40. Thus, you can determine that Abraham was well over 140 years old. After realizing his original evil through the tests that God allowed to him, Job entered the spirit. Job was originally blameless and upright, and he feared God. And then he realized his original evil and cast if off, he could enter the spirit and whole spirit quickly. Then everything both in spirit and in flesh was recovered, and he received a blessing in which his former possessions were doubled. Job 1:3 lists the possessions of Job before he underwent trials.
It reads, "His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east." Then, Job 42:12 lists Job's possessions after he finished the trials. It reads, "The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys." You can notice here that the numbers of sheep, camels, oxen, and donkeys became exactly the double of the original. And Job 42:13 says, "He had seven sons and three daughters." The next verse Job 42:14 mentions the names of his three daughters, and Job 42:15 says, "In all the land no women were found so fair as Job's daughters" Before Job underwent refinements, he always worried about his children. However, once he entered spirit and whole spirit through the refinements, the children he had later became joy to Job. In addition, it is written that Job had 10 children in his latter days, in other words, as he became old. After Job underwent refinements, he became a man of spirit, and then a man of whole spirit, and as its result, he recovered his youth. Dear brothers and sisters.
As you enter the whole spirit, you can control your body as you please. In my case, I can adjust the weight or shape of my body in a short period of time once I make a decision. If I think my body weighs too much, I decide to control what I eat, and soon I can lose as much weight as I want. In 1991, I shed too much blood. Due to too much burden on my heart, the heart of my physical body couldn't support it, and blood vessels in my nostrils burst. However, as many members of this church watched, as I drank water, there was liveliness in my face. Even my face had become very pale because I had shed so much blood. But then there was a sudden liveliness in my face as I drank water. I repeated the process of shedding blood and drinking water, and I recovered in 8 days. Since then, how healthy has my body become! For example, even when some of the workers around me strongly pound on my body (therapeutically), it doesn't cause any bruises. I also witnessed that even a broken bone due to my mistake could be quickly recovered. As three tests began in 1998, I greatly mourned for many souls as I saw them going the way of death.
In just 2 months, November and December, I lost 8 kilograms. I was too dizzy to stand firmly by myself; my pants were too big to fit. In January, 1999, I began praying according to the word of God the Father. Then, in 15 days, my body was fully recovered, but my body shape was also changed to the physique most men want. I came to have strong body figure in the shape of an inverted triangle. I didn't do exercise; I didn't take special care of my body, either. As I decided to pray for the kingdom of God and fervently prayed, I came to have a wonderful physique. Once you come into spirit and whole spirit, your body will obey as you make a decision in your heart. Without wasting time and money on diet or exercise, you can become healthy and beautiful any time. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ. So far, I have explained that, once you come into the spirit and whole spirit, your body will be controlled and that you can become healthy regardless of your age. 3 John 1:2 says, "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." As your spirit and soul prosper, the control of the body is managed in the dimension of the spirit, and thus you become healthy. In addition, the blessing of being prosperous in all respects also follows. And the family evangelization can be accomplished more easily.
It is possible because authority follows your lips as you enter the spirit and whole spirit. You can also receive financial blessing as Job did. It is because you can harvest the fruit at 30 times, 60 times, or 100 times more than sown. Just as Joseph and Daniel became the prime ministers in foreign countries, those who have entered the spirit and whole spirit have potential to be recognized in the world as well. It is possible because of receiving the wisdom and understanding of Heaven that cannot be compared to any knowledge of the world. Besides, once you enter the spirit and whole spirit, no matter what you pray for by faith, you can receive the answer. And thus, you can live a blessed life regardless of the world situation or flow. Since I have personally experienced all these, I can confidently testify to them. I met God in April 17, 1974. As I realized all the 7-year-long diseases were healed by the power of God, I came to believe that God is alive. Then, in May 1978, I heard the voice of God during my prayer. "I refined you for 3 years, and now equip yourself with the word for 3 more years. You have loved me more than your parents, brothers, sisters, wife and children. Leave the current business now and go your way. Let your wife manage the shop.
My thoughts are not the same as man's. Your wife will earn more money than you and your wife earned together. I will bless you that you will give to many but borrow from none. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. If you obey, your rice container will never be empty and your cash box will always be full. After you arm yourself with the word for three years, you will go across rivers and oceans and do miracles and wonders." His word indicates that I already came into the spirit through the 3 year-long refinement. I later realized that it took exactly 3 years for the refinement just as God the Father said. On July 10, 1974, as I and my wife visited my father to celebrate his birthday, my wife left and run away from home.
My wife came back in about 120 days, and she and I together attended a revival meeting which was held in November that year, and it was when I earnestly started to live as a Christian. I was always full of joy and happiness thanks to the hope for Heaven, I was in great debt and so poor because of the 7 year-long diseases. I couldn't afford more than a certain amount of rice; I could barely purchase a single briquette or two of heating charcoal even in the cold of winter. However, I enjoyed giving offerings to God, doing my best. And I obeyed as I was inspired in my heart. Even though I had nothing to eat the next day, when a servant of God or church workers visited me, I provided something for them doing all my best. Then, God surely provided me with food the very next day. He never made me skip a day without meal. I was living such a physically difficult life, and then I opened the third shop in July 9, 1977. It was the day when exactly 3 years passed by after my refinement began since my wife left home in July 10, 1974. From that moment on, great financial blessing came upon me and I didn't need to worry about daily food any more. Moreover, I could financially help others and give for charity.
More amazing financial blessing came upon me, as I stopped physical business, obeying the word of God in September 1978. It was just as God said, "If you obey, your rice container will never be empty and your cash box will always be full." The income of the first month my wife ran the business all by herself was much more than before; it was about 600,000 Korean won. FYI, According to the calculation of monetary value by the bank of Korea, the current price index is 6.1 times higher than that of 1978. It was a great blessing that a small book store could earn such an amount in just a month. People heard the news about the store, and came to the store to take a look. They wanted to know the success secret of the store. In such a blessing, I earnestly prepared a way to become a servant of God. I entered a theological seminary college in March, 1978; I constantly fasted and prayed all night, and devoted myself to be armed with the word of God. During the time when I armed myself with the word, many people with various problems came to me. And through the meetings with me, their problems were solved, and they were healed as I prayed for them. Exactly 3 years after I entered the seminary college, in the last week of February, 1982, I held my first revival meeting.
Then, I realized why God said to me, "After you arm yourself with the word for three years, you will go across rivers and oceans and do miracles and wonders." The evidences that I entered the whole spirit began to appear. As you enter the whole spirit, it is the 5th level of faith, and signs follow as written in Mark16: 17-18. It is written, "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." As I started this church in July 25, 1982, more amazing signs began to follow. I already experienced before that many sick people were healed as I prayed for them. Then, as I started the church, people with all kinds of diseases heard about me and came to the church from all around the country.
Not only those with minor diseases, but also those with incurable diseases which couldn't be cured in a hospital and those who were demon possessed came to the church. As I prayed for them, they were all healed and they gave glory to God. Likewise, when you enter the whole spirit and pray for others, the healing works can take place. Provided that you should be full of the Holy Spirit as you pile up fervent prayers. Once you enter the spirit and whole spirit, even if you don't pray much, you will be always full of the Holy Spirit. However, in order to make the energy of the spirit burn like fire, you should fervently pray. As the energy of the spirit burns like fire, the work of God's power can follow. Dear brothers and sisters. Then, is there any way to live such a blessed life like this even before you enter the spirit? There is a secret how to live a healthy and blessed life even before entering the spirit.
But the secret will be unfolded in the next lecture. I urge you to understand this precious message by the spirit, and receive it by faith. As I told you earlier, God the Father promised that He would show the evidence that this message is true. May all of you take this God-guaranteed message with joy and thanks and become the man of blessing, in the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, I pray! [Amen!]
Mafundisho ya 31 (Mbegu ya Uhai 3)
Kifungu cha Biblia: Mwanzo 2:7
“7 BWANA Mungu akamfanya mtu kwa mavumbi ya ardhi, akampulizia puani pumzi ya uhai; mtu akawa nafsi hai.”
Ndugu wapendwa katika Kristo.
Haya ni mafundisho ya 31 katika mfululizo wa Mwanzo, sehemu ya tatu ya “Mbegu ya Uhai.” Je, mmejifunza na kuifanya sehemu ya ujumbe huu kuwa sehemu yenu kutokana na mafundisho mawili yaliyopita? Mungu Baba alipofafanua mbegu ya uhai, alisema atathibitisha ukweli wa ujumbe huu. Nguvu zake zitakuja juu yenu mkiamini na kutenda kulingana na ujumbe huu. Mchakato wa kuzeeka utapungua; hata kama umeendelea sana, mtapokea nguvu za kufanywa vijana tena. Wengi wenu mtashuhudia: “Nilikuwa sina nguvu, lakini baada ya kusikia ujumbe wa mbegu ya uhai nikaanza kuamini kwamba ninaweza.” “Nilipoamua kutenda niliyofundishwa na kuweka moyoni nilichosikia, nilipewa pumzi ya uhai, na sasa nahisi nguvu mpya zikiongezeka.” “Miguu yangu ilikuwa dhaifu, lakini sasa imeimarika.” “Nilikuwa sina nguvu, lakini sasa ninajisikia mchangamfu hata nikila kidogo. Pumzi ya uhai ambayo Mungu Baba hutoa inatenda kazi ndani yangu.” Mungu Baba atatenda ili wengi wenu mshuhudie hivyo na kufunua jinsi ilivyo baraka kusema “Amina” kwa Neno linalohubiriwa kutoka madhabahuni hapa. Ninaomba katika jina la Bwana mpokee ujumbe huu kwa imani usiku huu na kuonja nguvu za Mungu.
Ndugu wapendwa, nilisema Mungu aliweka habari zote za kijenetiki kuhusu mwanadamu ndani ya kiini cha seli. Sura ya uso, urefu, umbile la mwili, rangi ya ngozi, viungo vyote na jinsi vinavyofanya kazi—habari zote zimo ndani ya kiini kidogo sana. Inawezekanaje? Ni jambo la ajabu. Teknolojia ya kisasa imewawezesha wanadamu kutengeneza semikondakta. Kumbukumbu ya Samsung ya nanomita 60, gigabiti 8 iliyotengenezwa mwaka 2004 ilikuwa na ukubwa wa sentimita 4.3 kwa 3.6, karibu nusu ya kadi ya kawaida ya jina.
Chip hiyo ingeweza kuhifadhi habari za vitabu 20,000 au magazeti 1,024,000. Ni teknolojia ya ajabu kuhifadhi habari nyingi hivyo katika kitu chenye ukubwa wa nusu ya kadi ya jina. Ikiwezekana kwa hekima na uwezo wa mwanadamu, Mungu Mwenyezi hawezi kufanya nini? Linganisha chip hiyo na DNA ambayo Mungu aliumba. Kipenyo cha kiini ni takribani mikromita 5, yaani sentimita 0.0005. Tukichapisha kwenye karatasi habari zote za kijenetiki za DNA iliyo ndani ya kiini hicho, zingejaza ensaiklopidia yenye maneno bilioni 3. Ikiwa kila kitabu kingekuwa na kurasa 1,000, ensaiklopidia hiyo ingekuwa vitabu 1,000. Habari hizo zote zimehifadhiwa ndani ya kiini kidogo hivyo, na habari zinazofanana zimo katika seli trilioni 60 za mwili. Kiini chenye ukubwa sawa na chip hiyo kingehifadhi habari mara milioni 100 zaidi, yaani ensaiklopidia bilioni 100.
Ikiwa hekima na uwezo wa mwanadamu aliyeunda chip hiyo vinastaajabisha, hekima na uwezo wa Mungu ni wa ajabu kiasi gani! Ndugu wapendwa katika Kristo, nilisema Mungu alipanda mbegu ya uhai katika seli iliyo kiini cha mwili wa mwanadamu. Kwa macho ya kiroho mbegu hiyo hupatikana katika moyo, ambao ni kitovu cha mahali na utendaji wa mwili. Kama damu inayosukumwa na moyo inavyofika kila sehemu ya mwili, nguvu za kiroho husukumwa kutoka eneo la moyo, zikaenea mwilini na kudhibiti seli zote. Ndiyo sababu watu hufikiri kwa silika kwamba akili iko karibu na moyo. Wanapotaka kuwakilisha hisia hutumia umbo la moyo linalofanana na moyo halisi.
Hata ubongo wa mtu ukifa kiutendaji, watu humhesabu kuwa hai moyo wake ukiendelea kupiga. Madaktari humtangaza mgonjwa aliyekufa ubongo kuwa amekufa moyo unapokoma kupiga. Kiroho, ni muhimu kuelewa kwamba mbegu ya uhai hupandwa katika seli iliyo kiini hasa. Mbegu hiyo inaweza kulinganishwa na boya. Boya ni kitu kinachoelea kinachoonyesha meli njia au kuonya kuhusu hatari. Limefungwa kwenye sakafu ya bahari, kwa hiyo mahali pake hubaki pale hata mikondo ya maji ikibadilika. Vivyo hivyo, mbegu ya uhai hupandwa katika seli iliyo kitovu cha mwili.
Mbegu ya uhai hupandwa katika seli ya moyo, kitovu cha mahali na utendaji wa mwili. Lakini kama maji ya bahari chini ya boya yanavyobadilika, seli iliyo kiini cha mwili inaweza kubadilika pia. Boya hubaki kwenye nafasi ileile, na mbegu ya uhai hubaki katika kiini cha mwili, ikipishana na seli iliyo hapo wakati wowote. Seli huumbwa na kuharibika tena na tena, lakini mbegu ya uhai iliyowekwa mahali pasipobadilika hudhibiti seli nyingine za mwili kupitia seli mpya. Mfano mwingine ni cheo cha rais, chenye mamlaka ya kutawala nchi. Mtu anayeshika cheo hicho hubadilika muda wake wa uongozi unapokamilika, lakini mamlaka ya cheo huendelea. Vivyo hivyo, seli iliyo kiini cha mwili inaweza kubadilika, lakini uhusiano kati yake na mbegu ya uhai huendelea.
Seli zilizo mahali hapo hubadilika, lakini mbegu ya uhai iliyo katika nafasi isiyobadilika huendelea kutenda kupitia seli mpya. Mbegu hiyo inapoamka Roho Mtakatifu anapoingia, roho huhitaji maji na nuru ya kiroho ili ikue. Nilisema mwili unaweza kutawaliwa katika kipimo cha kiroho roho inapokua na kufunika kiini cha mwili. Eleweni kwa usahihi maana ya kiroho ya roho kukifunika kiini. Ukubwa wa roho hauwezi kupimwa kwa kipimo cha kimwili, na kiini cha kipenyo cha mikromita 5 ni kidogo sana hata hakiwezi kuonekana kwa macho. Je, roho nayo ni ndogo kama kiini? La, roho inaweza kuwa kubwa kuliko kiini, hata kubwa kuliko dunia. Ninalinganisha ukubwa wake na kiini ili kuwasaidia kuelewa kiwango na eneo la udhibiti wa roho.
Nimeeleza kwamba roho inapokua na kufikia ukubwa wa kiini, udhibiti wa mwili na mwili wa asili hukoma, hivyo mwili hauzeeki tena. Roho inapokuwa roho kamili na kukua zaidi ya kufunika kiini tu, mwili hutawaliwa katika kipimo cha kiroho. Nimetaja matukio matatu: kwanza, viungo vyote vya mwili hufanya kazi kawaida na kudumishwa katika hali bora; pili, vijidudu na virusi haviwezi kuingia mwilini, na hata sumu haziwezi kukudhuru; tatu, huzeeki tena na unaweza hata kufanywa kijana. Mtu anapoingia katika roho, kuzeeka hukoma; anapoingia katika roho kamili, si kwamba huacha kuzeeka tu, bali hurejea ujana.
Biblia ina mfano halisi wa kufanywa kijana tena: Abrahamu alipompata mwanawe pekee Isaka alikuwa na miaka 100. Warumi 4:19 husema hakudhoofika katika imani alipofikiria mwili wake uliokuwa karibu kufa kwa kuwa alikuwa na miaka karibu mia moja, na hali ya tumbo la Sara iliyokuwa imekufa. Mungu alipomwahidi Abrahamu wa miaka 99 kwamba atapata mwana, yeye na Sara hawakuwa na uwezo wa kimwili wa kuzaa. Lakini Abrahamu aliamini Neno la Mungu bila shaka, na wakapata Isaka kwa nguvu za Mungu, si kwa kufanywa vijana tena. Wakati huo Abrahamu hakuwa bado ameingia katika roho kamili, wala Sara. Abrahamu aliingia katika roho kamili baada ya kupita jaribu la imani la kumtoa Isaka sadaka. Yakobo 2:21–23 husema imani yake ilitenda kazi pamoja na matendo yake, ikakamilishwa, na akaaminiwa kuwa mwenye haki na kuitwa rafiki wa Mungu.
Abrahamu alipokuwa mtu wa roho kamili, alipata tena ujana. Mwanzo 25:1–2 husema alioa Ketura, naye akamzalia Zimrani, Yokshani, Medani, Midiani, Ishbaki na Shua. Akiwa na miaka 99 hakuweza kuzaa, lakini akiwa na zaidi ya miaka 100 akazaa wana wengine sita. Hili lilitokea baada ya Sara kufa akiwa na miaka 127 na Isaka kuoa akiwa na miaka 40, kwa hiyo Abrahamu alikuwa na zaidi ya miaka 140. Ayubu pia aliingia rohoni baada ya kutambua uovu wake wa asili kupitia majaribu ambayo Mungu alimruhusu apitie. Hapo awali alikuwa mkamilifu na mnyofu, akimcha Mungu; alipotambua uovu wake na kuuondoa, aliweza kuingia rohoni na katika roho kamili. Akapokea tena baraka za kiroho na kimwili, na mali zake zikawa mara mbili.
Ayubu 1:3 hutaja mali zake kabla ya majaribu: kondoo 7,000, ngamia 3,000, jozi 500 za ng’ombe, punda-jike 500 na watumishi wengi; alikuwa mkuu kuliko watu wote wa mashariki. Ayubu 42:12 husema BWANA akabariki mwisho wake kuliko mwanzo wake, akampa kondoo 14,000, ngamia 6,000, jozi 1,000 za ng’ombe na punda-jike 1,000. Idadi hiyo ikawa mara mbili. Ayubu 42:13 husema akapata wana saba na binti watatu; aya ya 15 husema hakuna wanawake waliopatikana waliokuwa wazuri kama binti zake. Kabla ya majaribu alikuwa akiwahangaikia watoto wake daima, lakini baada ya kuingia rohoni na roho kamili, watoto aliowapata baadaye wakawa furaha kwake. Biblia inasema alipata watoto kumi katika siku zake za mwisho, yaani akiwa mzee. Baada ya majaribu akawa mtu wa roho, kisha wa roho kamili, na akapata tena ujana.
Mnapoingia katika roho kamili, mnaweza kuudhibiti mwili wenu mnavyotaka. Mimi ninaweza kubadili uzito au umbo la mwili wangu kwa muda mfupi ninapoamua. Nikiona nina uzito mwingi, naamua kudhibiti chakula na upesi napunguza uzito kadiri ninavyotaka. Mwaka 1991 nilipoteza damu nyingi; moyo wangu wa kimwili haukuweza kustahimili mzigo na mishipa ya damu puani ikapasuka. Washiriki wa kanisa walitazama nilipokunywa maji, uso wangu ulipata uhai tena, ingawa ulikuwa umepauka sana kwa kupoteza damu. Nilirudia kupoteza damu na kunywa maji, kisha nikapona ndani ya siku nane. Tangu wakati huo afya yangu imekuwa nzuri sana. Hata wafanyakazi wakinipiga kwa nguvu mwilini kwa matibabu, sipati michubuko; na mfupa uliovunjika kwa kosa langu uliweza kupona upesi. Majaribu matatu yalipoanza mwaka 1998 nilihuzunika sana kwa roho nyingi nilizoziona zikienda kwenye njia ya mauti.
Katika miezi miwili tu, Novemba na Desemba, nilipungua kilo nane. Nilikuwa na kizunguzungu kiasi cha kushindwa kusimama vizuri, na suruali zangu zikawa kubwa mno. Januari 1999 nilianza kuomba kulingana na Neno la Mungu Baba. Ndani ya siku 15 mwili wangu ulipona kabisa na umbo langu likabadilika kuwa lile ambalo wanaume wengi hulitamani: umbo imara la pembetatu iliyogeuzwa. Sikufanya mazoezi wala kuutunza mwili kwa njia maalumu. Nilipoamua kuomba kwa ajili ya ufalme wa Mungu na kuomba kwa bidii, nikapata umbo zuri. Mkiingia rohoni na katika roho kamili, mwili wenu hutii uamuzi wa moyo. Bila kupoteza wakati na fedha kwa lishe maalumu au mazoezi, mnaweza kuwa na afya na uzuri. Ndugu wapendwa katika Kristo, nimeeleza kwamba mwili unaweza kutawaliwa na kuwa na afya bila kujali umri mnapoingia rohoni na katika roho kamili. 3 Yohana 1:2 husema, “Mpenzi, naomba ufanikiwe katika mambo yote na kuwa na afya yako, kama vile roho yako ifanikiwavyo.” Roho inapofanikiwa, mwili hutawaliwa kiroho na kuwa na afya; baraka ya kufanikiwa katika yote hufuata na uinjilisti wa familia huwa rahisi zaidi.
Hili linawezekana kwa sababu mamlaka huambatana na maneno yako unapoingia rohoni na katika roho kamili. Unaweza pia kupokea baraka za fedha kama Ayubu, ukavuna mara 30, 60 au 100 ya ulichopanda. Kama Yusufu na Danieli walivyokuwa mawaziri wakuu katika nchi za kigeni, watu walioingia rohoni wanaweza kutambuliwa hata ulimwenguni kwa sababu hupokea hekima na ufahamu wa mbinguni usiolinganishwa na maarifa ya dunia. Zaidi ya hayo, ukiingia rohoni na roho kamili unaweza kupokea majibu ya maombi ya imani; hivyo unaishi maisha yenye baraka bila kujali hali au mwenendo wa dunia. Nimepitia mambo haya mwenyewe na ninaweza kuyashuhudia kwa ujasiri. Nilikutana na Mungu tarehe 17 Aprili 1974. Nilipoona magonjwa yangu ya miaka saba yakiponywa kwa nguvu za Mungu, nikaamini kwamba Mungu yu hai. Mei 1978 nilisikia sauti ya Mungu katika maombi: “Nimekusafisha kwa miaka mitatu; sasa jitayarishe kwa Neno kwa miaka mingine mitatu. Umenipenda kuliko wazazi, ndugu, mke na watoto wako. Acha biashara hii, uende zako, na mke wako asimamie duka.”
Mungu alisema mawazo yake si kama ya mwanadamu, kwamba mke wangu angepata fedha nyingi zaidi kuliko tulizopata pamoja, na kwamba angenibariki nitoe kwa wengi wala nisiombe kwa mtu. Alisema kipimo kizuri kilichoshindiliwa, kusukwasukwa na kufurika kingemiminwa mapajani mwangu; nikitii, chombo changu cha mchele kisingekuwa kitupu wala sanduku la fedha tupu. Baada ya kujizatiti katika Neno kwa miaka mitatu ningevuka mito na bahari na kufanya ishara na maajabu. Maneno hayo yanaonyesha kwamba tayari nilikuwa nimeingia rohoni kupitia utakaso wa miaka mitatu. Baadaye nilitambua kwamba utakaso huo ulidumu miaka mitatu kamili kama Mungu Baba alivyosema. Tarehe 10 Julai 1974, mimi na mke wangu tulimtembelea baba yangu kusherehekea siku yake ya kuzaliwa; mke wangu aliondoka nyumbani na kutoroka.
Mke wangu alirudi baada ya siku 120 hivi. Tulienda pamoja kwenye mkutano wa uamsho mwezi Novemba mwaka huo, na hapo ndipo nilipoanza kwa dhati kuishi kama Mkristo. Nilijawa furaha na shangwe kwa tumaini la mbinguni, lakini nilikuwa maskini sana na nina deni kubwa kwa sababu ya magonjwa ya miaka saba. Ningeweza kununua mchele kiasi kidogo tu na hata wakati wa baridi nilinunua kipande kimoja au viwili tu vya makaa ya kupasha nyumba. Hata hivyo, nilifurahia kumtolea Mungu kadiri nilivyoweza na kutii msukumo wa moyo. Hata kama siku iliyofuata sikuwa na chakula, mtumishi wa Mungu au wafanyakazi wa kanisa waliponitembelea niliwapa nilichoweza. Mungu alinipa chakula siku iliyofuata; hakuniacha nipite siku bila mlo. Maisha yalikuwa magumu kimwili, lakini tarehe 9 Julai 1977 nilifungua duka la tatu—miaka mitatu hasa baada ya utakaso kuanza mke wangu alipoondoka tarehe 10 Julai 1974. Tangu hapo nilipokea baraka kubwa za kifedha, sikuhangaikia tena chakula cha kila siku, na niliweza kusaidia wengine na kutoa kwa hisani.
Baraka kubwa zaidi za kifedha zilinijia nilipoacha biashara mwenyewe na kutii Neno la Mungu Septemba 1978. Ilitimia kama Mungu alivyosema: “Ukitii, chombo chako cha mchele hakitakuwa kitupu, na sanduku lako la fedha litakuwa limejaa.” Mapato ya mwezi wa kwanza mke wangu alipoendesha biashara peke yake yalikuwa takribani won 600,000, mengi zaidi kuliko hapo awali. Kwa hesabu ya Benki ya Korea, faharasa ya bei ya sasa ni mara 6.1 ya mwaka 1978. Kwa duka dogo la vitabu, kupata kiasi hicho kwa mwezi mmoja ilikuwa baraka kubwa. Watu waliposikia habari za duka walikuja kuuliza siri ya mafanikio. Katikati ya baraka hizo nilijiandaa kwa bidii kuwa mtumishi wa Mungu. Machi 1978 niliingia chuo cha teolojia, nikafunga na kuomba usiku mzima mara kwa mara na kujizatiti katika Neno la Mungu. Watu wenye matatizo mbalimbali walinijia, matatizo yao yakatatuliwa na wakaponywa nilipowaombea. Miaka mitatu kamili baada ya kuingia chuo, wiki ya mwisho ya Februari 1982, nilifanya mkutano wangu wa kwanza wa uamsho.
Ndipo nilipoelewa kwa nini Mungu aliniambia kwamba baada ya kujizatiti katika Neno kwa miaka mitatu ningevuka mito na bahari na kufanya ishara na maajabu. Ushahidi wa kuingia kwangu katika roho kamili ulianza kuonekana. Kuingia katika roho kamili ni kiwango cha tano cha imani, na ishara hufuata kama Marko 16:17–18 husema: “Ishara hizi zitafuatana na hao waaminio: kwa jina langu watatoa pepo, watasema kwa lugha mpya, watashika nyoka, na wakinywa kitu cha kufisha hakitawadhuru; wataweka mikono yao juu ya wagonjwa nao watapata afya.” Nilipoanzisha kanisa hili tarehe 25 Julai 1982, ishara za ajabu zaidi zilianza. Tayari nilikuwa nimeona wagonjwa wengi wakiponywa nilipowaombea. Kanisa lilipoanza, watu wenye magonjwa ya aina zote kutoka nchini kote walisikia habari na kuja.
Si wagonjwa wa magonjwa madogo tu, bali pia wenye magonjwa yasiyotibika hospitalini na waliopagawa na pepo walikuja kanisani. Nilipowaombea, wote waliponywa na kumtukuza Mungu. Vivyo hivyo, mkiingia katika roho kamili na kuwaombea wengine, uponyaji unaweza kutokea. Hata hivyo, mnapaswa kujazwa Roho Mtakatifu kwa kujenga maombi ya bidii. Mkiingia rohoni na katika roho kamili, mtakuwa mmejaa Roho Mtakatifu daima hata msipoomba sana. Lakini ili nguvu ya roho iwake kama moto na kazi za nguvu za Mungu zifuate, ombeni kwa bidii. Ndugu wapendwa, je, kuna njia ya kuishi maisha yenye baraka namna hii hata kabla hamjaingia rohoni? Kuna siri ya kuishi maisha yenye afya na baraka kabla ya kuingia rohoni.
Siri hiyo nitawaeleza katika fundisho lijalo. Nawasihi muelewe ujumbe huu wa thamani kwa roho na kuupokea kwa imani. Kama nilivyosema, Mungu Baba aliahidi kuonyesha ushahidi kwamba ujumbe huu ni wa kweli. Na mpokee ujumbe huu uliohakikishwa na Mungu kwa furaha na shukrani, mkawe watu waliobarikiwa. Ninaomba haya katika jina la Bwana Yesu Kristo. [Amina!]
