Do you truly love me?[WMSCOG]

What should those who truly love God in the age of Holy Spirit do?
According to the bible which is God's word, they follow the new covenant; Passover, Sabbath and so on...
But, there are many people who don't follow the words of God but say that we love God. Does it make sence? Nope!!!!
God say that I don't know them[Mt. 7:21-23]!!
World Mission Society Church of God[WMSCOG] follow the new covenant as Jesus set an example.
crc.ac
Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to Simon Peter three times, “Do you truly love me?” At his questions, Peter repeated the same answer: “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” After confirming his consistent and passionate mind, Jesus entrusted him with His sheep by saying, “Feed my sheep.”

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you truly love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. (John 21:15-17)

This becomes a good model for pastors and priests who say they love Christ today. In revival services, sermons or prayers, they do not forget to say, “Lord, I love You.” I even saw pastors who raising their arms towards sky and shouted “I love Christ.”  If they love Jesus so much, they are expected to feed the sheep. Then, how to feed the sheep?

He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read… (Luke 4:16)

So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover… While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:19-28)

If you love me, you will obey what I command. (John 14:15)

Jesus established the new covenant to give life to the sheep and to give the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to them. And He taught us that we should keep the rules and regulations of the new covenant if we love Him. The Apostle Peter loved Jesus with all his heart. Thus, he kept the Sabbath day and the Passover of the new covenant, and fed the sheep by preaching the rules of the new covenant. The Apostle Paul, who loved Jesus more than others, also fed the sheep with the regulations of the new covenant (1 Corinthians 5:7-8; Acts 17:2.)

Unfortunately,  pastors and priests, who confess that they love Jesus more than their own lives, consider the Sabbath and the Passover of the new covenant established by Jesus heretic while faithfully keeping the Sunday service and Christmas, the rules of pagan religions. Anyone can say love with lips. However, those who contradict what they say cannot be said that they truly love Jesus. If pastors of today truly love Jesus like the Apostles Peter and Paul, they have to show actions first by following the words of Jesus, don’t they?

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)

Thought I Could Just Become a Mother[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

Just like the monsoon rain pouring during the hot summer, heart aching rain flows continuously in my heart.
My child is sick.
I cannot raise my head up, thinking that it’s all my fault.
I thought I could just become a mother.
I thought being a mother was the easiest task.
That’s why I always wanted to become a mother.
Delivering a beautiful baby, raising, and educating well just like others; were my hope.
But in reality, it wasn’t easy at all.
Mother’s life was her child’s shadow.
Even when I wanted to eat something, my child was first.
Even when I wanted to do something, my child was always next to me.
Though I wanted to have a day off, there was a pile of laundry.
And I always had to be my child’s friend.
Mother was just a mother…
Though there is an exhausting, tiresome, disregarding day, the mother needed to follow after the child like his shadow.
I was really a foolish mother.
I didn’t notice that my child was sad, when he was.
I didn’t notice that my child was hurt, when he was.
I just thought my child would grow up on his own.
But that was just my wrong idea.
My child is always anxious…
He thirsts for love, just like when he gulps water in thirst.
As I didn’t notice, that was my fault.
From now on, I would become a true mother.
From now on, I will plant the existence of his mother in my child’s heart, and show him hope.
And for his mother, today is the day to be born again.
And for her child, today is the day to be born again.
I look up in the skies…
It’s a beautiful cloudless autumn sky, and cool wind enters my heart.
They are all gifts given by our Heavenly Mother.
“Cheer up my child, everything’s going to be all right. Cheer up.”
“Yes, Mother.”
I shout, “Animo, animo!” aloud inside my heart.
Our God the Mother always first looks after the child who is sick. 
Our God the Mother always first embraces the child who is having the hardest time.
Out God the Mother always first embraces the most foolish child.
Just like how She did, I, a foolish mother, would also do likewise.
Just like how Mother looked after our hearts, I would now like to consider my child’s heart.
Thinking of God the Mother who is constantly praying in Her place, I would like to look after my child with Her heart.
I think of the day when my child and I am embracing in Her heart.
I thank God the Mother for sending my child for me, a foolish mother.

God we have been waiting for — Christ Ahnsahnghong

For everyone, the parents’ blood flows in him. We received life by inheriting the blood of parents. It’s the principle: the Providence of God who saves mankind.
The way to inherit the blood of God dates back to the night of the fourteenth day of the first month in the sacred calendar, 2000 years ago. Jesus, who was God but came in the flesh, directed the disciples to prepare the Passover and kept it together with them. He left a will on the night before He was crucified on the cross and sacrificed Himself on behalf of sinners in order to wash away the sins committed in heaven.
And he [Jesus] said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. (Luke 22:15)
Jesus made a will by eating “something.” That was the Passover bread and wine. Jesus said that the Passover bread becomes His flesh and the Passover wine becomes His blood. He executed what he said earlier: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”
God promised that those who keep the Passover will be protected from disasters and also have the forgiveness of sins.  In the time of the Old Testament, the Israelites celebrated the Passover by putting the blood of the lambs on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they ate the lambs. Now we just need to eat and drink the bread and wine which stands for the flesh and blood of Jesus to keep this feast.
Regrettably, people broke the promise. Moreover, they even reneged on their pledge with God — through the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.  Since then, no one could have inherited the flesh and blood of God.  The Passover was totally forgotten from people’s minds for over one thousand years. This is why God should come again.
On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine–the best of meats and the finest of wines….  In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” (Isaiah 25:6-9)
“The aged wine” means that the wine has not been used for a long time. That is, the Passover had not been celebrated for a long time — for more than 1,600 years. While no one even imagined that we must keep the Passover to become the children of God, it was Christ Ahnsahnghong who taught us the Passover.
Unfortunately, over 1,600 years, people had a wrong recognition that it is heretic to celebrate the Passover. Yet, the truth does not change: we must keep the Passover to have eternal life.

The World Mission Society Church of God is Zion where we celebrate the feasts of the new covenant

The Bible prophesies that the last place of salvation is Zion (Micah 4:1; Revelation 14:1.) Therefore, each church insists that it’s Zion while its doctrines vary between individual churches. Where is Zion the Bible testifies about? Zion was originally a name of place in the area of Palestine. Actually, there are people who go to Zion in Palestine with the hope of salvation. However, in the age of the new covenant, Zion does not refer to a limited area of Palestine.

Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals [the city where we celebrate our religious festivals: GNT]; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. (Isaiah 33:20)

Prophetically, Zion is the place where we celebrate the feasts of God. In the time of the Old Testament, the sacrifices were offered to God in the earthly Jerusalem. Therefore, Zion where there was the earthly Jerusalem was the place of feasts. However, the center of the feasts of the new covenant is the heavenly Jerusalem.

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly (Hebrews 12:22)

Jesus also made clear that we will not worship God in the earthly Jerusalem in the age of the new covenant.

“… Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. (John 4:20-21)

Then, where is Zion in the age of the new covenant? In the Old Testament, Zion was the place where the feasts of the old covenant were celebrated. Therefore, in the time of the new covenant, Zion is the place where the feasts of the new covenant are observed. Jesus fulfilled the feasts of the old covenant to the feasts of the new covenant through His sacrifice on a cross. In order to complete, He changed the Passover of the old covenant (when the Passover lamb was sacrificed) to the Passover of the new covenant (when we eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus who was the reality of the lamb of the old covenant.) Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the feast of affliction, through the torture of the cross. And He has been raised from the dead and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep, fulfilling the Day of Firstfruits. Like this, Jesus fulfilled all prophecies of the seven feasts of three times comprising of the Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Firstfruits, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles, and newly established them as the days of celebrating the Redemption Work of Christ.

Churches which do not celebrate the feasts of God as evidenced by the Bible are not Zion. The church that observes the feasts of the new covenant made by Jesus is Zion. The World Mission Society Church of God is the only church that celebrates the seven feasts of three times in accordance with the regulations of the new covenant in the world. Then, isn’t it so clear which church is Zion?

Guided by Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother[WMSCOG]

I am a youth working as a guide in a public institution.
When I first started the job, I really wanted to quit it right away because of tough and tiring work.  However, as I assisted the people who needed my help, I could feel rewarded and even realize their warm heart that I have never felt before.
 
An old man who keeps saying, thank you for helping me, even though you must have been so busy.”
An old woman who slipped some snacks and coffee into my hand and students greeting with bright smile….

From time to time, something bad happens but only with the word of encouragement and consolation, my hurt feeling melts away. Only thing I did was to guide people to go to the right direction that they want to go, but from the elderly to students and kids greet each other with a nod.

All of a sudden, the lost brother and sisters occurred to me.  Still now, they should be wandering in the dark world, not knowing how to get to the kingdom of heaven.  We are very thankful when someone shows me the way in the building.  Then, what about Heavenly Mother who always guides us to the eternal heaven and even accompanying us so we do not get lost nor wander any more.  How much should we be thankful for Heavenly Mother?

As we are all God’s called ones who are now on the way to heaven, we’d better guide our lost brothers and sisters who are wandering to the right path to heaven.  That way, we could altogether enter the kingdom of heaven without fail.

Also, we should never be out of Heavenly Mother who is surely guiding us to the kingdom of heaven.

A School on the Knees[World Mission Society Church of God]

The very first school that I went,
Didn’t have no homework,
Nor desks,
Nor punishments.
When it rained and snowed,
When it was windy and hot,
Despite of all that,
It was a school that was all comfy.
In this school I realized,
What are the most important things in my life.
A school on the knees...
Yes, that’s my school on my mother’s knees...
The very first school that went,
Where only love existed...
-From “Thinking of my Heavenly mother, I shed tears” -

Heavenly Mother’s prayers for Her children doesn’t last.
There’s no rest.
She had forgotten Her sleep long time ago.
Heavenly Mother knelt down for us...
And we gain rest lying on Her knees.

WMSCOG Volunteers Remove Sandy Debris From The Bay


More than 200 Church of God volunteers join Don Riepe, Cathy Sohn and other American Littoral Society members for a day long cleanup of the Jamaica Bay shoreline. Photo by Dan Guarino

More than two hundred volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God in New York joined the American Littoral Society on Sunday, September 22nd, to remove roughly ten tons of debris left on the coastline since Hurricane Sandy’s damage to Broad Channel and the Rockaways last October.

Director of the Northeast Chapter of Littoral Society Don Riepe was on hand to shoulder part of the work and direct activities for the day long project.

Volunteers formed an assembly line of about a quarter-mile in Broad Channel to efficiently pick up and pass along planks, trash, boat wreckage, bottles, decks and other sometimes huge pieces of debris, among other environmental hazards.

This human chain, passing items from gloved hand to gloved hand, stretched from the Jamaica Bay shoreline to the American Legion parking lot off Cross Bay Boulevard.

“The area was completely flooded by Sandy. [It was] really destroyed,” said Cathy Sohn of the American Littoral Society. "It's great that these guys were able to help us in this area because a lot of the debris tossed up was from Sandy. And here we are, almost a year later and it was still sitting there."

“Because we believe in God the Father and God the Mother,” one of the Church of God volunteers said, “we put their teachings into practice by volunteering in our community through service activities like today.

That's why we want to help out in any way we can to make the world a better place."

The Church has been working with the American Littoral Society over the past five years to help restore Jamaica Bay.

This past spring, the volunteers helped plant salt marshes to prevent future floods like those caused by Superstorm Sandy.

The Church of God has especially been helping Broad Channel and the Rockaways rebuild after the storm. Fifteen days immediately after Sandy, hundreds of volunteers cleaned out flooded homes for families and, also helped restore their peace of mind and give them hope for the future.

As the rebuilding continues, the Church looks forward to being an on-call service body to provide help where it is needed.

The World Mission Society Church of God is a faith-based, international nonprofit organization. Within four decades, it has established approximately 2,200 churches, or regions, in more than 150 different countries.

Elohim God’s gift [WMSCOG]

‘ OK, once more time, ah-ee-ooh-eh-oh…hahaha!  Hello, God bless you.”

What am I doing now?  I’m doing a smiling practice in front of the mirror.”

In my childhood, people used to say I laughed readily smiling with my eyes.  At some point, however, my beautiful smile and laugh just disappeared, ever since I started to get greedy and earthly.  At the same time, I couldn't lead any one single soul to Zion.

Now I come to practice laughing and smiling in front of the mirror.

I sometimes nod my head and practice narrating the introduction of our church.  I also practice smiling watching the shape of my mouth and eyes.  As it gets so awkward, I have some convulsion around my mouth.  Unlike smiling and laughing, making a grimace and expressionless face were more comfortable.

‘How could it be more comfortable?  I must have been expressionless for a long time.  Did I not laugh that seriously?’

Looking at the mirror, I started to change my look and raise the tone of my voice.  Then all of a sudden, Mother in calendar jumped to the eyes. 
Mother with full of benevolence and smile at all times.  In spite of promising to resemble Her repeatedly, I didn't even change my expression, which gets my thoughts once again.



As I made a resolution to ‘glorify Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother’ with a smiling face, I come to get the strength.  Somehow, it seems to have good news.  Comparing to my little hope to preach the good news with a laughing practice looking at the mirror, Heavenly Mother did me much more favor.  To this child having no fruits for long time, She allowed me to bear a beautiful fruit.  Now, I could understand practicing laughing delivers hope and courage not only to me but to all people in this world.

It is surely a God’s gift to let all lost children make a laugh of Heavenly happy sound, though we all lost it in the life of pain and agony, wearing the sinful clothes on the earth.



“Ha-ha! Ho-ho!”

I sincerely pray I could finally preach the gospel with a smile some day.

I give thanks to Heavenly Mother’s love[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

On the train, there was a middle-aged man sitting on the opposite side of me.
Exhausted face, deep wrinkles, skinny figure in a shabby clothes…
He really looked fatigued.
Just by seeing him made me think, “Our lives as sinners are tough, but is it really tough like that?”
He had his reasons.
The people’s eyes were fixed to the man’s son.
His age supposed to be young with spirit.
But being mentally challenged, the son was into his own world, and his father was holding his hand.
Suddenly, my eyes welled up.
Though the father looked so exhausted, his face brightened up whenever he saw his son.
Smiling as if he had gained the whole entire world, I could sense his love and sacrifice.
I felt Heavenly Mother’s love who came from heaven to this earth, to save me, who was about to die with spiritual incurable illness.
All those years that she has spent, day and night, praying with tears without rest to save me.
Enduring all mocks and scorns she would just embrace my illness in a time of pain.
However, this immature sinner’s eyes were covered with sins, and I couldn’t realize Mother’s sacrifice or know Her love.
Oh my Heavenly Mother!
Though She is spending all those years with pain, She would always show bright smiles in front of Her children.
Mother’s great and holy love and sacrifice blossoms my heart with repentance.
My holy Heavenly Mother, I truly bow down to You and give You thanks and eternal glory.
And I pray to You…
If this child lets go of your hand, please hold my hand back with compassion.

God the Mother’s love everywhere [World Mission Society church of God]

On Sunday afternoon, I had some time left after preaching.   Suddenly, ‘Roola’ brought to my mind.  She was a female youth whom I met and studied the Bible with last week, even though I couldn't see her again because of her tight schedule since then. Hoping to see her to give a brochure, I headed for the shopping mall where she works.  I thought a short time should be enough to see her but the shopping mall was literally a sea of people.  I didn't even know how long it took to find the parking space.  Various kinds of people were fully packed, gathering together with family and friends.

Normally, I used to see her from a distance and turned back, worrying if she could feel uncomfortable, since her coworker and boss were always at the store.  That day, however, Roola was the only one at the store for some reasons, despite it was a very busy day.  I sincerely gave thanks to Father and Mother. 
I passed on the brochure about the Passover and Heavenly Mother to Roola, who felt sorry not to have contacted me because of her busy schedule.  We finally decided to meet again sometime and have a bible study together.  I was going to come back to Zion but it was difficult to do that because there were many people gathered together, who should hear of the good news about Heavenly Father and Mother.  So, I decided to take a few minutes to preach the words of God and then leave.  Now that people seemed to be free afternoon, there were many people who listened to preaching. Meanwhile, one female youth started to speak after watching UCC about the Spirit and the Bride.
 
“Oh, I know this.  It is about God Mother, isn't it?”
“Do you know Her?”
“Yes, God the Mother.  I have heard about it.”
 
Her name was Christy and she said she has heard about Heavenly Mother when she used to go to a University from 2 hours distance.  Moving in after graduating school, she lost contact with people who used to deliver the words of God to her but now, she could hear the truth about Heavenly Mother once again.  In the United States of America consisting of 50 states, it has large land and countless people enough to say there are 50 different countries gathered.  I was so glad to meet someone who has heard of the truth in this far place.  While preaching to others after exchanging contact numbers and saying hi to her, I could meet a female youth, ‘Christine’.  However, this youth clearly remember Heavenly Mother even though she said she couldn't study the Bible that much.  I strongly felt she must be the one Heavenly Mother is anxiously searching for. That way, I was given a mission to deliver the water of life to souls who have the seeds of words in hearts, which were scattered through Mother’s love.  At that moment, I could feel how much love Mother has toward even one single soul despite he/she does not realize the truth at all.  Mother does not give up on him/her and rather with full of care and efforts, She keeps sending the messengers so he/she could hear the truth again.
 
Under the love and sacrifice of Mother who never gives up one single soul, the gospel continues to be spread around the whole world.  Now I could see what the gospel is about with Mother’s heart and mind.  That day, Mother awoke me, who used to preach the words of God from a sense of duty at some point.
I give thanks to God who allows this sinful child to step outside today and participate in the gospel of Mother’s love

Because She is Our God the Mother[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

 For a while it seemed like the cold weather was over, but it was cold again.

Because of this genial weather, my second son constantly took off his coat for few days.

At last, he started to cough and had fever.

I continuously told him to wear his coat, but he wouldn't just listen.

After supper, I gave him some medicine and tucked him to bed early.

Our whole family happened to sleep early that day, and I also fell asleep being exhausted.

How much did I sleep?

I heard my child moaning silently in his room.

Instinctively, I got up and went for my child.

My child was calling me with high fever.

On the other hand, my eldest son in the other room was peacefully asleep.

Surely I am a heavy sleeper. I didn't know how I heard that small sound, that very fainting voice...

I thought it was fortunate that I heard it.

As I laid a cold towel on his forehead, I was moved to tears.

"This is the reason why our Heavenly Mother came for us!"

Is there any other reason needed for our Mother to come to this world, other than for Her children dying in pain?

It is I, who always make mistakes, and it is our Mother, who bears all the costs.

However, She never leaves me but stays close by my side.


Since I am a person who would never wake up even when it thundered, I could surely realize Mother's love through my second child.

Though I also had fever and had a flu, because I am a mother, I first worry about my child.

Because Heavenly Mother is with me, I believe I can overcome all kinds of illness that this world may give.

Thank You Heavenly Mother!

God the Mother wants to give out everything[WMSCOG]




"Mommy?"
A child called her mother.
“Yeah, you need something?”
It doesn’t take even a second for her to answer her child.
Suddenly I thought...
How much would have she wanted to give away everything what her daughter wished or desired?
On the other hand, I felt so sorry for Heavenly Mother.
Though Heavenly Mother waits for us to call Her, since She knew well what we wished or needed, I didn’t.
Long time ago, I heard there was an aged mother who washed the feet of her grown-up son.
The son was well-known as a filial son.
You might consider the son to be unkind for making his aged mother to wash his feet, but he let her, because that was the most pleasurable joy for his mother.
Listening to all of Her children’s prayers, and most carefully taking care of Her children, without considering Her safety, Heavenly Mother always comes for Her children who calls Her.
Heavenly Mother calls that, “Her joy,” and just waits to give out thousands of blessings that She prepared for Her children.
This child, calls You, Mother.
This child, calls You, for the blessings to find all of the lost spiritual brothers and sisters

(Color) Participants collected a heap of trash
(Black) A clean-up activity was held in Battambang

The World Mission Society Church of God conducted a clean-up campaign on March 4 and around 60 people participated in this activity including provincial officers. This Church has been performing clean-up campaigns in 2,200 areas in 150 countries around the world in ahead of the Passover to save the earth getting sick from environmental pollution.
 
As part of “Celebration of the Sacred Birth of God Ahnsahnghong & Preparation of 2012 Passover Assembly,” these activities will be held globally until early April. The Church of God said that the purpose of this clean-up movement was to practice the love of the Passover of the New Covenant restored by the Second Coming Jesus Ahnsahnghong for salvation of mankind, and to cause the Cambodian people to be aware of the seriousness of global warming and environmental pollution. The campaign has attracted interest and participation of many people to spread the way to save lives in times of disaster.
 
The Church of God has hosted the Worldwide Clean-up Campaign annually before the Passover. The total number of the clean-up campaigns carried out from 2001 to January 2012, not including small-scale campaigns which have not been counted, amounts to as many as 1,272.On the average, more than 100 activities have been held every year. The activities contribute to change environmental awareness of the world as well as to make the polluted Earth clean.

 The Passover, which falls on April 5 this year, is an important feast of God because through this feast we can be protected from disasters and have the promise of the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The Church of God said, “We hope that people will keep the Passover and become the children of God to receive the blessings and the gift of salvation by cleaning up our mind as well as the environment of the earth.”

“The Clean-up Campaign by the World Mission Society is really a good activity,” said Provincial Officer Uti, who participated in the event. “I am very glad to cooperate with a clean-up activity by participating in it as a Provincial Officer.” Also, he added, “This campaign becomes a good example which would promote residents to join the campaign to stop dumping wastes into fields and farmland and to make the environment clean.”
 
The 1304th Worldwide Clean-up Campaign of the World Mission Society Church of God was held in the area of SvayPao, Battambang in the morning, March 4. The Church of God practices the love of the Passover which contains the love and sacrifice of God through various volunteering services.

WMSCOG Actively Participated in Environmental Clean-up Campaigns and Blood Drives





Phnom Penh – Yesterday, the World Mission Society Church of God conducted a clean-up campaign and blood drive for celebrating the “Passover” which falls on April 5.
At 8 a.m. yesterday, more than 200 members of the Church carried out the clean-up activity around the Russian Hospital located on the bank district.
 
The Church members also participated in a blood drive at the church after returning from the clean-up campaign.
 
Pastor Yong-moon Lee of the Church of God in Cambodia said, “The clean-up campaign and blood drive for celebrating the Passover took place simultaneously by more than 200 churches in 150 countries to spread the importance of the Passover to the people around the world.”

Please come to Church of God (witness of Ahnsahnghong) that believes Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, the Spirit and the bride to get the eternal life and the salvation through the Passover the New Covenant.

Heavenly Family [Christ Ahnsahnghong & God the Mother]

One day, I found someone who could only live as a recipient of organ transplant on TV.  Although most people desperately await organ donors with a faint hope, they are barely keeping their tough life day by day, for it is not easy to receive organs from others.

Those who give their organs to patients standing on the brink of death were mostly their family.  Only if the family could live healthily at their side, they did not even seek a reward for this.

A wife said that she used to blame her husband when he did not make much money even in good health.  Now, since he got sick and there was nothing she could do for him, she finally decided to transplant her organ to him, hoping only he could recover soon.

From them, I could find much realization.  Our brothers and sisters in Zion are the spiritual ones who are given the flesh and the blood of God, who are now making a voyage in belief.  Then I started to think if I could willingly take some part of me to save my brothers who are in trouble and pain.

Born through the unconditional grace and love of Elohim God, we are surely essential parts of heavenly family who should accompany on the way back to our heavenly hometown.  That way, there should be no need to hate and envy each other.  From now on, we should become the children of Elohim God, who could enter the kingdom of heaven by loving our brothers and sisters with true heart and mind.

The great supper, `PASSOVER' [World Mission Society Church of God]

 
 
Some claim that there is no need to keep the Passover because it belongs to the Old Testament law. They say that all laws were abolished after the Crucifixion. This means that Jesus abolished the Passover before He suffered on the cross. Did Jesus really say that we do not need to celebrate the Passover? First, let’s take a look at the record of the Passover in the Bible.
About 3,500 years ago, the people of Israel, who had been in slavery for 430 years, had a critical chance to be freed from Egypt. That was the ‘Passover.’ Immediately before they came out of Egypt, God commanded them to keep the Passover by observing the following rules and regulations (Exodus 12:1-14; 43-46):
1) It must be kept on the evening of the 14th day of the first month of the sacred calendar,
2) by eating the roasted lamb and taking some of the blood and putting it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses,
3) after being circumcised.
This was the rules of the Passover of the Old Testament. When they kept the Passover by following the words of God, they received His blessings. How about in the time of the New Testament?
For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival … (1 Corinthians 5:7-8: NIV)
For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us celebrate our Passover… (1 Corinthians 5:7-8: GNT)
According to the prophecy of the Old Testament, Jesus became the reality of the Passover lamb and shed His blood on the cross. And like the Passover lamb, the legs of Jesus were not broken:
The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. (John 19:32-33)
Jesus, the reality of the Passover lamb and God Incarnate, gave us a new promise (New Testament) on the day of the Passover before He suffered on the cross.
Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed… And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer… And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you…” (Luke 22:7-20)
In the time of the old promise (Old Testament) which had gone away, the people of Israel ate a lamb on the Passover. However, we should keep the Passover by eating and drinking the flesh and blood of Jesus, the reality of the Passover lamb, since He made a new promise. In the time of the Old Testament, it’s allowed to eat the Passover lamb after being circumcised. Then, how about in the time of the New Testament?
In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead. (Colossians 2:11-12)
In this age, we must be baptized to participate in the blessings of the Passover. The rules and regulations of the Passover of the New Testament are as follows:
1) It must be kept on the evening of the 14th day of the first month of the sacred calendar,
2) by eating and drinking the Passover bread and wine, which stands for the flesh and blood of Jesus,
3) after being baptized.
The very day Jesus ate the last supper with his disciples before He was crucified on the cross was the Passover. On that day, He gave them a new promise while eating the Passover. And the disciples participated in the Lord’s Supper by keeping the Passover even after the Crucifixion (1 Corinthians 11:23-26.)
The Passover was not abolished after the Crucifixion. We should keep it in accordance with the promise and the rules Jesus made newly. By taking part in the Lord’s Supper held on the Passover by eating and drinking the Passover bread and wine representing Jesus’ flesh and blood, we can have the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

More than mom’s trouble[World Mission Society Church of God]

I visited my spiritual sister’s house and there was her daughter eating cookies with delight.


As you know, cookies tend to crumble, so the floor was full of crumbs.

Since my sister was a neat person, constantly cleaning the floor, she warned her daughter to be careful.


Feeling sorry for her, half jokingly I told her child,


"Sister, from now on you shouldn't eat those cookies anymore. Your mommy is having trouble cleaning up the floor.”


"Yesh…”


Nodding her head, the child said with a smile.


At an instant, my sister told her child,


"More than that, I am worried that your teeth might rotten. So you must eat fewer cookies and brush your teeth well, Ok?


Listening to her words, I felt my heart tugging.


Since I didn't have a child yet, I just thought of mom’s trouble cleaning up the floor, but the mom’s heart wasn't.


I could feel the mother’s unconditional love, thinking of her child’s safety first, whenever or whatever happened.

It was a thankful experience that I had with my spiritual sister, making realize Heavenly Mother’s deepest love that I again engraved in my heart.

The way to recognize God the Spirit Ahnsahnghong

Jeremiah 31:31

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.
God the Father, Jehovah prophesy that The days are coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

Luke 22:20

In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
God Jesus fulfilled this prophecy that Jehovah will make a new covenant with His people. In other words, God the Father, Jehovah is Jesus. Then, in the last days, the One who establish the new covenant is the very God!

Amos 9:11-12

“In that day “I will restore David’s fallen shelter— I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins— and will rebuild it as it used to be, so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear my name,” declares the Lord, who will do these things.

Hebrews 9:15

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
The new covenant Passover which Jesus established was trampled down by Satan. In the last days, the One who establish the new covenant Passover is God. By the way, in reality, Christ Ahnsahnghong establish the new covenant Passover. Therefore Christ Ahnsahnghong is our God in World Mission Society Church of God.

The Church of God holds the “2012 Worldwide Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup

The Church of God holds the “2012 Worldwide Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup

The Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup Campaign on a global scale to heal the sick earth is to be carried out in 150 countries including UK all together.
It is the “2012 Worldwide Blood Drive and Environmental Cleanup campaign for the Passover” held by the World Mission Society Church of God (General Pastor Kim Joo-cheol).
The Church of God says that the purpose of this cleanup campaign is to “practice the love of the Passover of the new covenant, which was restored by Ahnsahnghong the Christ who came a second time.” The Church adds that it is also to “inform people of the seriousness of environmental pollution and save lives through blood donation.”
The campaign is to be carried out in about 2,200 places of 150 countries where the branches of the Church of God have been established; including the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa will carry out the campaign together. The Church says that it will keep holding the campaign by April 5, the sacred Assembly of the Passover 2012.
As they carry it out in cooperation with government offices located in each region such as city council, public community centers, it is expected to greatly arouse people’s attention on the importance of giving blood in order to help save lives of many people and environmental pollution.
In Salford, around 100 members of the Church will donate blood and clean up the streets on 4th, 11th 18th March.
[The Passover of the new covenant]
The Passover of the new covenant, which the Church regards as important, is the day when Jesus Christ promised the forgiveness of sins and eternal life to those who have bread and wine representing His flesh and blood; Jesus established this new covenant on the night before He was crucified 2,000 years ago.
Following the teaching of Jesus Christ, the Church of God keeps the Passover by eating bread and drinking wine in the evening of the 14th day of the first month in the sacred calendar every year.
As it is name imparts, the Church says that disasters pass over that disasters pass over those who keep the Passover. It originated from the Exodus when the Israelites were protected from the disaster by putting the blood of the lamb on the sides and tops of the doorframes of their houses.
The Church of God believes that Christ Ahnsahnghong is God in the age of the Holy Spirit because he restored the Passover of the new covenant, which was abolished at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 after Jesus ascended. The Church of God says that it is the only church in the world, which keeps the Passover of the new covenant, following the regulations of the Bible on the correct day. This year, the Passover falls on 5th April.
The Church of God keeps the seven feasts in three times according to the Bible including the Resurrection Day and the Feast of Tabernacles as well as the Passover, and it is known as the church that follows every regulation of the new covenant-the Sabbath, Baptism and the regulation of veil.
