At the wedding reception in Galilee, our Lord performed the miraculous work of turning water into wine. With this miracle our Lord provided all the wine that was needed for the wedding reception. The servants at the wedding feast could experience this miracle because they wanted to believe in our Lord and obey Him; they abided in faith and they fully accepted the Word of God ordering them to fill the jars with water.

God is the Creator of the universe and the Almighty God and has absolute authority. Everything in the universe exists thanks to the grace of God. The sun, the moon, stars, animals, plants and everything else were all made according to the providence of God. God made us unique humans with a free will, and made us with high and noble values as beings that are able to receive God’s love.

I intend to preach for a short time today. My voice isn’t hoarse from speaking at the Nathanael Training Conference; it’s hoarse because I yelled a lot when I went fishing. I know it’s not comfortable for your listening, but I hope you understand me. We made the daycare room well, didn’t we? We made it well, so the saints in the room can see me without any problem. Did you have a good dinner this evening? I have no time to warm up my voice for the sermon. We are all very busy today. Time seems to fly; today will be over before we know it.

Japanese interpreter: “I introduce the pastor who will speak to us today. He is the president of The New Life Mission. His name is Pastor Paul C. Jong, and he has written about fifty books about the Bible. Most of these books have been translated into various languages of the world, and he has now come to Japan to introduce these books to us. I am thankful for this opportunity to share grace with Mr. and Mrs. Kawashima and Mr. and Mrs. Sakamodo. At this time, Pastor Jong will preach a sermon.”

I commend you for the hard work during the past week. I cannot even imagine how the week passed by. It really passed by so quickly that I don’t even know what I have done. It was really tiring to hold the revival meeting and I am so exhausted with other things that I wish the Lord really would come quickly. I wish the Lord would come quickly when I think of just myself, but on the other hand, I want Him to come after a long time when I think of the people who have not yet been born again. It is really tiring as it is written, “All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it” (Ecclesiastes 1:8). The world is tiring and our hearts of the righteous are also very tired from overwork. There was so much work this week that I feel like I have lived one full year in a week. I really want our Lord to come to this world as soon as possible and I want to live in the beautiful place without lacking and live in comfort and relaxation. That’s how I really feel. Therefore I want to share the gospel even more quickly, so that our Lord would come quickly. We must preach the gospel even more quickly so that our Lord would come quickly.

What among God’s Word should we believe in our spiritual walk? We should live out our faith by believing the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We must lead our spiritual life for our souls to receive salvation from all sins by believing in the righteousness of God, not for our fleshly benefit. We must lead our life of faith for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. We must also live out our faith for the salvation of the other people, not only for our souls.

How have you been, everyone? I am sure you have had many things happen to you during the past few days as it did for me. Our human life is always facing continuing hardships and many tasks. But if we are people who have received the remission of sins, then we must understand what God is talking about and believe it and establish ourselves firmly upon that Word and follow the Lord with faith. I believe it is better to live each day having faith in the righteousness of the Lord than to be depressed by hardships and heavy burdens of work while lamenting in agony,

Jesus blessed the five loaves of barley bread and two fishes that amounts to about one lunch pack and fed 5000 men and more than 10,000 people in total including children and women plentifully. Jesus blessed one lunch pack, multiplied it, and fed the crowd that followed Jesus. Therefore, the Jews followed Jesus in multitudes. The hungry and the sick followed Jesus in multitudes. Jesus healed the sick here one day and there the next day, and met those who had sin and remitted their sins. Jesus told the multitudes that followed Him, “Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life.” He also said this is the food “which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”
