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.

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.

A Half of a Fingernail[World Mission Society Church of God]

Being clumsy with the kitchen knife, I had a day when I almost cut half of my finger nail preparing a meal.
My finger wouldn’t stop bleeding, so I quickly put gauze over it and tied it up with some rubber band. By the time I almost finished preparing the meal, my hand was burning and sore.
As my tears that I held back dropped down my eyes, someone flitted through my mind.
The One who saved me with His precious blood…
“My God the Father.”
With that thought, I engraved God’s unfathomable love in my heart.
Even cutting almost a half of my fingernail approaches me as a fear of pain.
Having His whole body full of blood, how much pain would He had felt?
The pain that I had removing the gauze that wouldn’t just come off easily that clung on the skin, cannot be compared to Father’s pain; taking off the robe forcefully that clung on His body all covered with blood.
The reason why He did not open His mouth when He was oppressed and afflicted,
The reason why He did not open His mouth like a lamb to the slaughter,
It is for my transgressions, my iniquities, and to bring me peace.
After I, myself have experienced and felt the pain, my heart burned realizing God’s love towards me.
The One who loved me until His whole body was all sore,
The One who loved me even enduring the mockery of His creation,
With what kind of word from this world can we describe God  the Father’s greatness?
Not even once, but He had endured twice, of the stinging pain of His whole body.
How can we dare know the end of God’s love for the sinner?
For Elohim God’s love, that nothing can exceed, I give all thanks with my whole heart.

Cleaning-upthe River Selbe [World Mission Society church of God]

 

On last Sunday, February 12, the clean-upof the River Selbe which flows through the city was conducted. This activitywas co-hosted by the World Mission Society Church of God, the Secretariat ofthe Mayor, the Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. More than 700 bags of trash were collectedthrough the clean-up campaign.

The sponsors of this activity including the Department of Environmental Protection, the Sukhbaatar District and Mon KhorusConstructions supported sacks, gloves, big pliers, pickaxes for breaking theice, and other cleaning tools.

Also, the members of the Church of God heldthe clean-up campaign of the River Selbe in March of this year.

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.

The goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls - World Mission Society Church of God

Why do people work for companies? 

Some say that they feel happy while working in a company. Others say that they are having a happy work life due to good colleagues. There will be also people who find something worth by participating in community services in the course of working in a company. However, are there any people who continue to work for a company if they are not paid? The primary purpose of working for a company is to live on their salary. Even if they love their jobs or they are happy to work with other colleagues, people have no reason to work for companies if they are not paid.

Then, what’s the purpose of our faith in God?

Some say that they live a religious life to find peace of mind. Others say that they live a life of faith because they enjoy meeting people. Or there are people who are happy to participate in community services while attending the church. However, can these can be the ultimate purpose of our faith life?

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:8-9)

The most important goal of our faith is the salvation of our souls. A life of faith without the salvation of souls is no more than a job without salary. Although they might feel happy or they think they obtain something worth, their efforts will be in vain in the end. The problem is that many churches teach different doctrines and different religious lives depending on their denominations. Which way of faith is the right one which leads us to the salvation of our souls?

 

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers [depart from me, you workers of lawlessness – ESV]!' (Matthew 7:21-23)

Those who live a life of lawless faith which does not follow the will of God cannot enter the kingdom of heaven even though they call 'Lord, Lord', act as prophets who preach God, cast out demons or perform many miracles. They can obtain nothing while making many efforts.

Why should we do the will of God to get the salvation of our souls? It’s because the Word of God is the promise of salvation. 

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. (John 6:53-55)

Whether we can receive life or not depends on following this Word containing the promise of eternal life. Then, how can eat and drink the flesh and blood of Jesus?

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)

Jesus promised that the Passover bread is His flesh and the Passover wine is His blood. Therefore, faith without keeping the Passover cannot give us the salvation of souls. Those who do not observe the Passover worship God in vain. Religious life which results in the salvation of souls, the goal of faith, is that of receiving eternal life through the Passover of the new covenant. If you believe in God, please live a life of faith which leads you to the kingdom of heaven by following the will of God.

When we set the right purpose in our faith to believe in God, we might arrive at the proper destination, Heaven.  Hoping you meet the God the Father and God the Mother in WMSCOG which celebrate the Passover on a basic of Bible and receive eternal life, the final purpose of faith.

 

World Mission Society Church of God keeps the Passover of the New covenant.

As you know, God alone has eternal life.

God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal (1 Timothy 6:15-16)

Therefore, only God can give us eternal life. The promise of eternal life God gave us is contained in the Passover.

Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man [Jesus] and drink his [Jesus'] blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink…” (John 6:53-55)

Jesus promised that the bread of was His flesh and that the wine of the Passover was His blood.

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 [the Passover bread] is my body.” Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This [The Passover wine] is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:19-28)

Those who observe the Passover are surely supposed to receive the blessing of eternal life according to the words of Jesus: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” On the contrary, since Jesus said: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you,” those who do not keep the Passover cannot receive eternal life. The World Mission Society Church of God believes in the promise of eternal life Jesus promised us and celebrates the Passover of the New Covenant as a precious truth.

The reason we should know the new name_Christ Ahnsahnghong

Everyone tries to achieve his own goal of life. The same is true for the believers. The goal Christians must strive for is ‘salvation’ (1 Peter 1:9.) Notable is that salvation cannot be obtained without efforts, and there is a prerequisite procedure we must follow. It is baptism. However, unfortunately, this ceremony is carried out illegally by existing Christian churches.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

There is a dominant principle the saints must follow in the age of the Holy Spirit: there is the ‘name’ of the Savior of this Holy Spirit age and we should be baptized in His name.

The name of the Savior of the age of the Father is Jehovah (Isaiah 43:11,) and the name of the Savior of the age of the Son is Jesus (Acts 4:11-12.) Then, what is the name of the Savior of the age of the Holy Spirit? Most people might be surprised when they are asked this question. It’s because they have never heard about the name of the Savior of the Holy Spirit age.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. (Revelation 2:17)

Of course, the Savior’s name of the age of the Holy Spirit is not ‘Jesus’, the Savior’s name of the age of the Son, but a new name. How dreadful it will be if we deny or ignore the name of the Holy Spirit or if we are baptized in a manner we think is appropriate just because we do not know the new name.

The reason we should know the new name is because it’s an essential element closely related to our salvation. I bet that it will be like throwing water on thirsty soil if you got baptized even one hundred times in the titles without the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit in a manner such as “I give you baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Holy Spirit is Christ Ahnsahnghong who appeared with the sign of God, the Passover.

Life that never ends_Heavenly Mother's love_World Mission Society Church of God

 In the morning, I read an article that really touched me.

 An Australian woman delivered twins after 27 weeks. The daughter was born relatively healthy, but the son weighing 2.2lbs, was having difficulty in breathing. Though the medical team quickly gave first aid, but the child lost its breath and died.

 However, the mother and the father didn't give up and asked the doctor for a last chance. She embraced her child and while touching the child’s cheek with hers, the mother breastfed. Two hours passed and something unbelievable happened. The child, who was supposed to be dead, started moving its fingers.

“Something happened that we can just express it as a miracle. When my son slightly held on my finger, at an instinct I knew that our relationship didn't end.”

 The child’s breathe became normal and eventually became healthy. He is growing up healthily like normal children. Mother’s burning love that revived a heart is truly amazing. I give thanks to God the Mother who never gives up on us, running towards the way of death.

 Like above, Heavenly Mother's love towards us make Herself come to this earth for saving us. And as Holy Spirit's Bride She allow us the way to kingdom of heaven; the Passover.

A time for the Son ended, A time for the Holy Spirit Christ Ahnsahnghong_World Mission Society Church of God

Nothing on the earth lasts forever. In other words, there is a time for everything. If something was sowed, there is a time to reap. Although a building was robustly built, there is a time to destroy. How about our lives? There is a time to be born and a time to die. All happiness, which seems to last everlastingly, is to be ended some day. The Bible depicts this truth exactly:

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)

For easier understanding, a ‘time’ can be compared to the food expiration date which indicates the freshness of food. Food past its expiration date might be corrupt. Therefore it’s important to buy food after checking its expiration date. Likewise, there is also ‘a time’ for the Redemption Work of God we believe in.

Please think this carefully: it would have been enough if God the Father Jehovah alone had continued His work to the end of the world. However, why did God the Son Jesus appear? The Jews, who only called the name ‘Jehovah,’ were not be able to believe in Jesus. But, Jesus came as the Savior who would save mankind according to the prophecies of the Bible. The Apostle Peter witnessed Him as follows:

He [Jesus: GNT] is ” ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. ‘ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12)

Isn’t it strange? Peter confidently said, “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” In the Old Testament, it’s clearly written: “I, even I, am the LORD (Jehovah), and apart from me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:11)  Peter, the best disciple of Jesus, must have aware of this fact. Regarding this matter, the answer can be found in the word ‘time’. The above verses mean that the Savior of the Son is only Jesus in the age of the Son and people are not allowed to call other name than Jesus in that age.

God Jehovah, who appeared in the Old Testament, was the Savior of the age of the Father. Jesus, who appeared in the New Testament, was the Savior of the age of the Son. When the time for the age of the Father was expired and the age was changed to the age of the Son, the name of the Savior was also change from Jehovah to Jesus. Therefore, people could not be saved any longer with the name of ‘Jehovah’ in the age of the Son. It’s because there is a time for the name of the Savior. For this reason, Jesus said, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” (John 16:24)

Now, the age of the Father and the age of the Son were expired. Today, we are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. Then, do you think the name of the Savior of the age of the Holy Spirit is still ‘Jesus’ with whom many people are familiar? ‘Jesus’ was the name of the Savior of the age of the Son. We cannot get salvation any longer with the name ‘Jesus’ in this age of the Holy Spirit we are currently living. Once again, it’s because the age of the Son ended.

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)

Are you still calling Jesus, the Savior of the age of the Son, without knowing Christ Ahnsahnghong, the new name of Jesus or the Savior of the age of the Holy Spirit? 2000 years ago, the Jews also did. They called the name ‘Jehovah’, the Savior of the age of the Father, without discerning the time. We know the results of them. We can be saved when we discern the time.

Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? (Luke 12:56)

We live in the age of Holy Spirit. Therefore, we have to seek Jesus' new name thru the prophecies of the bible. The One who had fulfilled all the prophecies of the bible is Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought the sign of God, the Passover.

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.

 Only way to kingdom of heaven is to keep the Passover which God can allow us. It's because there is no death in heaven. Therefore we have not just to say "celebrate the Passover" but "to eat the Passover's bread and wine" as Jesus set an example for us.

 Thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother who allow us the way to heaven, the Passover!!!

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

Heavenly citizenship for those doing the Father's will_2

 If we have the citizenship of heaven, we ought to hear what God says. Now, let's see if we obey God's word as heavenly citizens, considering what are the requirements for the heavenly citizenship.

 Ex 20:8 "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy."

 First, citizens of heaven ought to keep the Sabbath day. Those who do not keep the Sabbath cannot acquire the citizenship of heaven. When they stand before Jesus at the last day, they will beg Him to let them into heaven, saying, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name pray and drive out demons, and help the poor?" However, Jesus will turn His face away from them, saying, "I never knew you."
 "Show Me your citizenship of heaven. Do you know the reason why I have not granted you heavenly citizenship? Have you ever kept the Sabbath holy?" If God asks them such stern questions, what will they answer?
 God said, "My sheep listen to my voice" (Jn 10:27). How can they acquire the heavenly citizenship without obeying even a single command of God-"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy"? So Jesus told them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!"

 Second, heavenly citizens ought to celebrate the Passover.

 Lk 22:14-20 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."

 The Bible teaches us that we can receive the forgiveness of our sins only by celebrating the Passover. So God has established the Passover, saying, "This [Passover] is for you." It is a qualification for the citizenship of heaven to celebrate the Passover.
 If a man commits a crime, he will forfeit his rights of citizenship at once and be punished according to his country's Criminal Procedure Code. So did we. We committed an unpardonable sin in heaven, and were cast down to the earth. We lost our heavenly citizenship and forfeited all of our rights as citizens in heaven.
 Christ, however, came into this earth to forgive all our sins by shedding His blood and tearing His flesh. For the mortal sinners, He opened the way to the forgiveness of sins through the Passover of the new covenant. That's why we have come to reinstate our heavenly citizenship.
 So the Bible says, "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Th 5:16-18). When our faith becomes weak, we can neither rejoice, nor give thanks, nor understand why God has given those words to us. Think of our heavenly citizenship! Christ died for us, so that we might have the forgiveness of sins and the citizenship of heaven. How joyful and how grateful! No matter how difficult our lives may be, we must endure in order to avoid going to hell, a place of eternal punishment. God has granted us, sinners, the citizenship of heaven. Whatever difficulties we face, we are supposed to be joyful and thankful.
 Here is one more necessary condition for the heavenly citizenship-knowing God's name and celebrating God's feasts such as the Sabbath and the Passover. To obtain American citizenship, people have to know its president's name. How much more should we know the name of God to acquire the heavenly citizenship! Can we obtain it without knowing God's name? God said, "My people will know my name" (Isa 52:6).
 The citizenship of heaven can be acquired when we always live in Zion, know God and obey everything He has commanded us. We have the heavenly citizenship granted by God. Let us take pride in our citizenship in heaven. God has given us the Passover and let us know what the Savior's name is; and He clearly said to us, "You are My people."

 What we are to do now is to help all the peoples of the world ac-quire the citizenship of heaven. They do not know the way to obtain it.
 When I first went to America for the gospel work, I was at a loss as to how to act. Some put themselves out trying to help me, and I felt so thankful to them for their help. People naturally express their thanks to him who teaches them what they do not know, even though it is a little thing. How much more will they give thanks to him who helps them know the way to acquire the eternal citizenship of heaven! In heaven they will ever be deeply grateful to him for his help.
 When we go back to the glorious kingdom of heaven, we will enjoy the powerful privileges of heavenly citizenship. Many people, who have not obeyed God's commands, will entreat God to let them in before the heaven's gate. However, Christ will sternly say to them, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" What about us all in Zion? We shall all enter heaven's gate safely. For heaven is our home and our country.
 Giving thanks to God who has given us such a great blessing, let us help numerous people who are longing for the heavenly citizenship. From the east to the west, let's preach the gospel diligently. I hope all our brothers and sisters in Zion will bear much fruit through God's grace and love.

Heavenly citizenship for those doing the Father's will_1

 When the eternal kingdom comes, the most valuable thing is the citizenship of heaven. Even though tens of thousands of people give us their American citizenship cards, we will never exchange our heavenly citizenship for theirs. We are envied by all the spiritual beings in the universe. God tells us how to acquire the citizenship of heaven.

 Mt 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"

 Nobody can enter the kingdom of heaven without the citizenship of heaven. Then, who can acquire the heavenly citizenship? Only those who do the will of the heavenly Father can acquire it. The Bible clearly shows us the way to obtain the citizenship of heaven and also the reason to be rejected.

 Those who have American citizenship can travel freely in and out of the country; none of them are refused entrance to it. How about those who try to enter the country without its citizenship? Immigration officers inspect them, asking why they visit the country and how long they will stay there. After passing through the inspection, they are admitted into America.
 We can find the same situation in Matthew 7:21-23. Only those who do the Father's will are admitted into heaven. For God grants the citizenship of heaven only to them. Without the heavenly citizenship, no one can enter the kingdom of heaven.

 Even a nation's citizenship in this earth is given through the admission of the country. In order to acquire American citizenship, immigrants must pass through an examination. Who is the first president of the United States?' or When did the Civil War break out?' Examiners ask such questions about the outline history of America, and the people should answer in English. Only after passing through the examination, they can obtain American citizenship.
 In the same way, to acquire the citizenship of heaven we must gain God's approval. Only those who do the will of the Father can enter the kingdom of heaven, because He has granted them the heavenly citizenship.

 Jn 8:45-47 "... He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."

 He who belongs to God is to hear what God says. God clearly commands us to keep the Sabbath, but some insist on keeping Sunday. God commands us to celebrate the Passover, nevertheless some insist on celebrating Christmas. This is an expression of their strong will not to hear what God says. God sternly says that such people do not belong to Him: "The reason you do not hear what I say is that you do not belong to Me." What a dreadful word! Through this word, God shows us the way to distinguish between those who can acquire the heavenly citizenship and those who can't.

 Heavenly citizenship is given to the people of Zion, the city of God's appointed feasts

Now, we need to find out where God our King reigns in order to know where we are now, examining the requirements we must meet in order to qualify for heavenly citizenship.

 Isa 33:20-22 Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved ... There the LORD will be our Mighty One. ... the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.

 Here, us' mean those celebrating God's feasts in Zion. God is called their King; He is the King of Zion, the city of His appointed feasts. We, the people of Zion, celebrate the feasts. So it is clear that we have a heavenly citizenship.

 Isa 51:15-16 "For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar-the LORD Almighty is his name. I have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand-I who set the heavens in place, who laid the foundations of the earth, and who say to Zion, You are my people.'"

 The people who dwell in Zion are the ones who have obtained the heavenly citizenship, though they live in this sinful world now. We must feel proud that we have acquired the heavenly citizenship even though we are cast down to a small planet called earth.
