World Mission Society Church of God[Christ Ahnsahnghong]

On 21st  August, Wednesday, around 80 Members of the World Mission Society Church of God gathered to clean up Rochdale  (Around South Street) with councillors.

Mayor of Rochdale, Peter Rush supported the event with Councillor Sultan Ali as the team collected over a hundred bags of disgarded litter and unwanted household items that had been flytipped.

Jason Festus was involved in the project and said, 'There was a lot of rubbish and litter and even some of the residents came out and joined us to pick up litter together.' He was very pleased with community spirit this envoked and went on to say,'Through this clean up campaign, we wish to inform people of the seriousness of environmental issues...'

Members of the Church have cleaned up through the whole of Greater Manchester such as Trafford, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Tameside, Stockport, Wigan and Prestwich and they plan to go everywhere their hands are needed.

The campaign is to be carried out in around 2,200 places in 150 countries where the branches of the World Mission Society Church of God have been established; including the United Kingdom, United States, South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa.

As they carry it out in cooperation with government offices located in each region such as city councils and public community centres, it is expected to greatly arouse people’s attention on the importance of giving blood in order to help save the lives of many people and to raise their attention on environmental pollution.


We say well done to Jason and the team who tackled this huge project, with great support of their church and the neighbouring community - watch this space for other projects coming up!

Do we have to worship a wall of a city?[World Mission Society Church of God]

and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the earth. (Isaiah 62:7)

At a glance, some might think the above verse is about a prophecy that God will build the city of Jerusalem. But it’s just a fragmented understanding. If we look at the mate of this verse in the Scriptures, we can understand the meaning behind it.

But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. (Galatians 4:26)

A long ago time, the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would establish Heavenly Mother just as Adam had named his wife ‘Eve’:

Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. (Genesis 3:20)

We need to know that Jerusalem recorded in the book of Isaiah does not merely refer to a city located in Palestine near the Mediterranean, but also contains a prophecy about Heavenly Mother. Those who consider Jerusalem as a mere building are to fall into a big error.

Your gates will always stand open, they will never be shut, day or night, so that men may bring you the wealth of the nations? their kings led in triumphal procession. For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. (Isaiah 60:11-12)

Isaiah 60 is about the future glory of Jerusalem. The word “you” above refers to the city of Jerusalem. If you think Jerusalem is just a wall of a city, which exists in Israel, it’s concluded that you should worship a building to get salvation because it’s written, “For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish.”

Isn’t it strange? How can God, who forbade idolatry (Exodus 20:4), command us to worship a wall of a city? Such an error occurs because people consider Jerusalem as a mere city. They will result in destruction according to the warning of God regarding those who distort the Bible to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16.)

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. (Revelation 21:9-10)

Jerusalem in the Bible stands for Heavenly Mother, who gives us the water of life in this age as the wife of the Lamb.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. (Revelation 22:17)

Mom's 30 Minutes - World Mission Society Church of God

Seeing out my husband going to work, I tried to catch up on my sleep.

How much did I sleep?

My son, who slept quite early last night, got up early and insisted he was hungry.

As I sat slowly on my bed, I noticed that I got up 30 minutes later than usual.

"Gosh! I'm late! I’m late! I need to take you to the institute and I have to get to my appointment!"

I rushed, gave my son breakfast, grabbed my jacket and my bag, and left the house.

I was stamping on my feet repeatedly, at the place where the bus stopped to pick my son.

I was worrying the bus might arrive late.

Of course, the bus didn't arrive on time, which gave me a tantalizing situation.

"Oh well, what can we do? Greg, why don't you wait here alone? I’m sure the bus will come soon."

I left my son there, and hurriedly went for my appointment.

“Hey sister, what makes you rush this early?

It was a sister of my church who lived in the same town.

"Oh, I don't think it's that early. It had passed eight already."

"Huh? What are you talking about? It's not even eight yet."

Looking at my watch again, I noticed it wasn't half past eight, but half past seven.

Suddenly something sparked my mind.

"Greg!!! My goodness!"

Realizing I have left my son an hour early on that block, I ran.

But he was gone.

I tried to find him all around the nearest places where he could be: security office, playground, even near the institute. I even requested an announcement in my apartment, but he didn't appear.

"Greg! Greg! Where are you? Oh please..."

I don't know how much time has passed.

Anxiously and with haste, I was looking for my son.

Suddenly, I received a call from the institute.

He mistakenly got in a bus that runs to an elementary school, thinking that the bus was taking to his institute.

With a sigh of relief, my knees buckled.

I checked my watch and surprisingly only 30 minutes had passed.

I couldn't have imagined 30 minutes would have felt this long.

For a mom losing her child, 30 minutes was indeed a long time.

My eyes welled up.

I couldn't possibly stop my tears that came out with a surge of sorrow.

"Losing my son for just 30 minutes, I anxiously wandered all around to find him!

 

How heartbroken would our Heavenly Mother be finding Her lost children, the apple of Her eye, for a long time, 6,000 years?

Though She is mocked, scorned and ridiculed, She endures just because She misses Her children so much!"

All of a sudden, I felt something that I couldn't possibly express with words.

"This is it. This is God's heart. True love towards Their children.

But did I really try to find my lost brothers and sisters with this heart?

Though I said I have realized God the Father and God the Mother's love, did I really try to find Their children like today’s 30 minutes?

Asking myself and realizing how unfaithful daughter I was to God, I really hated myself.  

Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother...

 

Though I cannot describe Their grace with words, allowing this daughter who didn't realize the "heart of a mother losing her child," I give all thanks and love to Them for this realization.

 

I will engrave this realization deep down in my heart, and I will be a daughter who surely does the best to find the long lost brothers and sisters.

 

No mother can endure the time to wait the lost child even one minute, but our Heavenly Mother have waited for 6,000 years in pain.   It is the shortcut to receive salvation that we realize our spiritual Mother who can give us eternal life.

 

 

 

Maternal Love in the Snowstorm[WMSCOG]

One man was traveling on a horse.

It was an awfully cold weather in the snowstorm.

It didn’t even take a while until he met a woman finding her way to her husband; carrying her child on her back.

Pitying them, the man got them on the horse.

Despite of herself being cold, the woman covered her child with her outer garment.

Though the child was sleeping cozily in its mother’s arms, the mother was about to freeze to death.

Her body started becoming stiff and was nearly falling asleep.

The mother surely was about to die…

Noticing this, the man suddenly got her off the horse and took her child and went off.

The mother couldn’t stop but ran after the man screaming, to give her child back.

The man wouldn’t listen and just kept on going.

At a certain point, the man stopped the horse.

When the mother was catching her breath, the man asked, “You’re not cold anymore, are you?”

Then the man took them on the horse and they safely arrived to the place where they were heading to.

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)

Invisible Strength

There was a boy living with his mother who didn't know how to read or write. With the lack of formal schooling, the boy was despondent with his life, and by hanging around with wrong friends, he was sent to a reformatory for pick pocketing. The boy blamed his mother for not coming for a visit, and cursed the society for locking him up. One of the guards who watched this boy, gave him a young sparrow as a gift and said,

“I will release you if you raise this as a grown-up sparrow.”

The boy willingly consented having the greed of being released. However, raising the sparrow wasn't easier than he had thought of. He had to stop the sparrow annoying other people, had to make it warm so it wouldn't get cold, and had to feed it time after time.

But after the sparrow grew up a little, it kept on trying to fly away between the bars. When the boy tried to stop it and tied its leg with a string, the sparrow struggled to cut the string. It was no good even though the boy tried to soothe it down with food. Being exhausted, the boy finally said to the guard that he wanted to let it go.

“I want to continue and raise it, but it just wouldn't understand me.”

The guard smiled and said,

“That is your mother’s heart. She wants to keep you, who aren't still a grown-up,from getting away from her. But you just cut the string and fly away. That is why you are here.”

When the boy looked at him oddly, he said,

“Your mother still loves you. Much more than how you consider of the baby sparrow.Your mother must have been learning how to read and write. She personally wrote a petition of requesting us to release you.”

Black-tailed gull’s hatchling

“Squack, Squack.”

You would have once seen a bunch of gulls crying noisily, covering a whole island.

I have seen a documentary which was about a black-tailed gull’s life. This black-tailed gull lays its 4 to 5 eggs in the bushes of a deserted island during May to August, and incubates them.

With an effort, the hatchlings try to survive by remembering their mother’s voice.

Those noisy cries were made by the hatchlings,voices calling for their mother.

Since multiple numbers of black-tailed gulls live in a small space, their turf war is intense.

The bushes are a threatening place for the hatchlings, who cannot distinguish what they see. The young hatchling isn’t an exception as a target of attack.

If one of the gulls crosses over its territory, the hatchlings’ life is in danger. That is why by nature, the hatchlings rely on their mother’s voice.

When the mother alerts, the hatchlings come together in haste, drop their heads down, and wait until their mother’s warning to be canceled.

After listening to their mother’s approval that it’s alright, they then loosen up their bodies and move here and there.

The black-tailed gull cannot distinguish the voice of its own hatchlings.

That is because it cannot catch the change of their hatchlings’ voice, since the hatchlings grow too quickly.

So when the hatchlings shrink with alert and do not snuggle into their mother, the mother gull; deluding itself that they are hatchlings of another gull, attacks them.

The other gulls also distinguish their hatchlings with the hatchlings’ behavior.

It is pitiful to watch young hatchlings being attacked by another mother gull. When a hatchling of another violates a territory, the mother gull of that territory attacks them until they die.

The poor hatchling struggles to survive,but most of them die because they have left their mother.

On the island, you can see dead hatchlings here and there.

When I noticed the hatchling can only survive from the enemies by remembering its mother’s voice, following what the mother had told it to do, and seeing the mother trying to protect its hatchling, it made me think of the heavenly world.

Though we cannot see the invisible world, it brought me to attention thinking that the battle with the evil spirits would be also intense. Heavenly Mother, protects us from many attacks of the evil spirits, and teaches us that we must obey God’s words in order to return to the heavenly home.

I truly give thanks to Heavenly Mother,for even today, She protects these weak children’s souls under Her wings, and leads us with love to Heaven.

Until the day, when we go back to our home, I will become a faithful child who listens attentively to our Heavenly Mother’s voice, and a child who obeys.

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.

[USA] CLEAN WORLD CAMPAIGN AT PLUMB BEACH_ World Mission Society Church of God

World Mission Society Church of God in USA

This spring the World Mission Society Church of God in New York launched its Good Samaritan Movement aimed at changing the world one volunteer service at a time.

Now as part of the Movement and as we prepare for the Passover Feast of God, more than one hundred volunteers united to participate in the Clean World Campaign at Plumb Beach. On the same day, churches of God around the world cleaned up in their regions. That’s more than one thousand locations in over 150 countries cleaning up the whole world at one time.

That Sunday morning, volunteers arrived at Plumb Beach in Brooklyn dressed in bright yellow shirts and green vests. Seeing filth covering a beautiful beach, they knew there was a lot of work to be done. Once a popular beach, Plum is now a site for abandoned boats and garbage that washes up ashore and the sand is littered with broken shells.

One volunteer came across a large wrecked motor boat that he clearly could not move on his own. A loud call for “Brothers” was heard and what seemed impossible for one person to accomplish became possible when about a dozen volunteers worked in unity to remove the boat. Several other boats were removed from the beach in the same fashion.

Other volunteers formed assembly lines to carry piles of heavy garbage off shore. One by one the Church of God volunteers’ efforts became a testament to the power of unity.

Don Riepe, Director of the American Littoral Society, who has witnessed the work of the Church of God for years now, commented, “You all are going to make a believer out of me. We could have never done this without all of you!”

The reality is that volunteers always rely on the power of God to carry out all of our community service efforts – big and small. As we continue to carry out volunteer activities, we hope to follow the example of Christ, who has already come a second time and keep the Teachings of Heavenly Mother so that others will come to realize God.

[USA] 1-MILE RIVER CLEANUP in World Mission Society Church of God

World Mission Society Church of God in USA

Over 100 volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God gathered to clean up Pennington Park along the Passaic River on July 24, 2011. The members cleaned up a substantial amount of the river surface, the riverbank, and adjacent park areas. For several hours, they worked under the sweltering heat to achieve a result that moved the hearts of the families that frequent the park.

For years, this area along the Passaic River had lain fallow and littered and had not been navigated. But it was once again flowing with watercrafts, as the Church of God[WMSCOG] members jumped into canoes for a more thorough clean of the river. Through unity and dedication, they were able to dispose of seemingly immovable material. A large amount of waste was collected in a centralized location to expedite its removal by the City’s Department of Public Works personnel.

Local residents, bystanders and city workers were moved by the dedication, joy and efficiency of the volunteers. One young woman saw them at work and immediately joined them, being moved to tears. “I’m so glad there’s a group that cares about nature,” she said.

“We make the effort of taking care of our environment and the local communities,” responded Pastor Daniel Lee, overseer of the Church of God[WMSCOG] in Ridgewood, “for this is in par with a Mother’s mind. Mothers want the best and most enriched environment to raise their children because Mother shows pure love to the children. This love is the core of God’s teaching and the guideline for action of the Church of God[WMSCOG].”

Through this event, the Church of God[WMSCOG] earnestly hopes the people of the local community will realize the importance of volunteerism and its positive effect in the community, particularly the youth. We hope that through it they will see the necessity of environmental work and take pride in the natural resources of the region.

[USA] FORT TRYON CLEANUP in World Mission Society Church of God

World Mission Society Church of God in USA

As the seasons change, the landscape changes accordingly. Most regions in the world have very slight or no change in season, but the Northeastern region of the United States experiences very drastic climatic changes during the year. From freezing subzero winters to sweltering summers, the alternating weather patterns provide for a unique biome. New York City has it all, and maintaining this great city’s delicate ecosystem requires abundant resources and time. New York City depends largely on volunteers to maintain its large tracts of green space, to repair areas that have become fallow requires even greater amounts of resource.

As part of its continuous efforts to address environmental issues in the New York Area, the Church of God[WMSCOG] participated in a Spring Preparation Cleanup at the Fort Tryon Park in Inwood (New York, NY). On March 13, 2011, the volunteer core of the Church of God[WMSCOG] arrived on location early on Sunday morning to perform the cleanup task. In past decades, Fort Tryon, a historic and scenic landmark, fallen into disrepair due to poor funding. The old fort, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, has begun to be restored in recent decades, and the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] wanted to make the restoration goal more attainable.

In preparation for spring, the volunteers removed weeds to beautify the park, as well as all other kinds of human waste. Due to poor policing, the park had become a niche for a range of illicit activities, all leaving behind their human footprint. Understanding the importance of this historic site and unique ecosystem, the volunteers of the Church of God[WMSCOG] went to work quickly and, despite the small numbers, achieved remarkable success. Like a mother who would want the best for her children, the Church of God[WMSCOG] members, earnestly wanting to emulate Heavenly Mother, wanted to beautify this park area, to help it become the pride of the region and preserve it for posterity.

Through the grace of God the Father and God the Mother, substantial progress has been achieved. Yet, there is still much work to be done in this vast area. The members of the Church of God[WMSCOG] performed this environmental task with joy and gladness. The restoration, preservation and enhancement efforts in this area will continue. Following the example of Heavenly Mother, who is the Good Samaritan, the volunteers are eager to lend a helping hand when needed and are looking forward to participating more frequently in this location.

[USA] APPELT PARK KNOTWEED REMOVAL in World Mission Society Church of God

World Mission Society Church of God in USA

On Sunday, July, 18, 2010, over 140 members of the World Mission Society Church of God in Ridgewood, NJ drove to the neighboring township of Riverdale to volunteer their time to uproot the invasive Japanese Knotweed from the banks of the Pequannock River. This project aligns with the World Mission Society Church of God’s continuous global effort to restore the planet’s natural environment. After the removal, native trees and shrubs will be planted, allowing native flora to thrive.

Japanese Knotweed, regarded as one of the world’s 100 most invasive species, flourishes in thick colonies under a wide range of conditions. It chokes out native plants, disrupts the ecosystem, damages structures and even reduces natural flood defenses. The dense mass of roots and bamboo-like stalks, capable of reaching over 12-feet high, makes the Japanese Knotweed especially difficult to remove. Executive board members of the Pequannock River Coalition (PRC) recruit groups of volunteers to undertake the immense task of uprooting the weeds multiple times a year. However, when the Church of God[WMSCOG] members arrived, Barbara Kushner, wife of Ross Kushner, Executive Director of the PRC, exclaimed, “I was told 100 people were coming [to volunteer]. I didn’t think that was possible, but here you all are!”

Church of God[WMSCOG] volunteers joined together in unity using pitchforks, shovels, and their gloved hands to dig up the stubborn growths under the sweltering heat and threat of poison ivy. Regardless of these circumstances, cheers of triumph and bursts of laughter echoed from the group. Church of God[WMSCOG] members completed “double the work in half the time,” as expressed by Laurence Bair, Chief Executive of the PRC. In an interview with NorthJersey.com, Ross Kushner shared, “The results speak for themselves. Most of the park is now free of knotweed. These folks deserve a big round of applause.”

There is something mystical about mother’s smile

Mother isn’t just a member of a family. She is like the sun. Mother’s existence is like the sun;all things in the universe lose their light without it. That is because of Mother’s love. The reason why there is something mystical about mother’s smile is because of the sacrifice that is in her love.



A young man living with his widowed mother happened to lose the sight of both eyes in a car accident. Despite of his mother’s sincere comfort and care, the man felt a great sense of lost. Then one day, he heard that someone donated an eye for him. But he wasn't that pleased because he was looking forward to receive both eyes and live like before.

“Darling, why don’t you get the operation even if there’s only one eye?”

He decided to have the operation since he couldn’t overcome with his mother’s plea.

On the day when he took his bandages off, he bursts into tears. His mother didn't have one eye. But the mother said to him,

“Darling,I wanted to give you both of them, but thinking of you taking care of me who can’t see, I just couldn't.”



This is maternal love. She never grudges though she gives out everything. It is certain when we see the relationship between a bow and an arrow.

The arrow flies further away as the bow bends more. So the mother is like the bow and the child is like the arrow. As much as the parents’ back becomes crooked, the child moves forward. When there is an arrow that flew away furthest, the bow must have been bended a lot to send it.

The bow would be painful as much as it bends. But the bow endures its pain, just to send the arrow further away.

In our surroundings, we can easily find parents and children having relationships like the bow and the arrow. As much as the child is great, the parents’ sacrifice would be much more than that.

If there is a person who achieved, behind those achievements, most of them have their mothers who sacrificed for them.

Mom is always sorry

There is a word that my mom constantly tells to me and my sister.

That is the word, ‘sorry.’

She says sorry even if she hasn't done anything wrong.


“Mom,I asked you to wash this clothes for me!”


“I’m sorry, I forgot. I will wash it for you tomorrow. Sorry.”


“Mom,you told me that you’re going to make this for me.”


“I’m sorry. I will surely make that for you tomorrow.”


“Mom,why didn't you come to pick me up!”


“I’m sorry. I’m coming.”


We are the ones to be sorry since we always ask her for things, but my mom always says she is sorry to us.


During puberty, after quarreling with my dad, I packed my suitcase and ran away from home.

At that time, my mom came running without her shoes on and said with tears,


“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault, so let’s go home.”


Even when she is sick, she prepares breakfast for us in the early morning.

When she couldn't possibly prepare breakfast by chance, she again apologizes.

When I vent my anger to her because I couldn't find something that carelessly put somewhere in the house, she apologizes for not taking care of it.

My younger sister has troubles getting up in the mornings, so she has a tantrum whenever my mom wakes her up.

Whenever that happens, my mom would apologize.

When my sister gets angry when mom wakes my sister late by chance, my mom would apologize again.


When my mom goes to buy things in the market, she will be relentlessly bargaining.

When she goes to a restaurant she will be meticulous about the dishes.

That would make me embarrass. However, she becomes very weak only in front of her children.


Looking at my mom, it reminds me of Heavenly Mother.

Whenever I watch the Biblical play, ‘Heavenly Mother's Great Sacrifice 1-Heaven,’ there is a part which makes my heart ache so much.

That is when Heavenly Mother drops down and weeps mournfully, after Her children is expelled from Heaven.

Compared to Heavenly Mother’s sorrow, the Heaven is cruelly, expressed so beautifully.

Just for the fact that Her children is expelled, She doesn't see the glorious beautiful Heaven,but laments.

Though I gave true thanks to Heavenly Mother who loved this sinner so much, I hated myself so much for hurting Her.


Writing this, I give thanks for the fact that I am the child receiving God’s love.

God will give up everything to give love for the children.

Now, I will try my best to put that love into action for my Heavenly brothers and sisters.

I truly give thanks to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their infinite love, allowing me to live as their child.

Love for the Sinner

Growing as the only daughter, I only knew how to receive love. Giving love was too unfamiliar to me, which I treated it as if it had nothing to do with me. I didn't even know how to consider the love of my physical parents, which made me difficult to realize Heavenly Mother’s love; and that realization took for quite a while.


Though in Zion, I saw many films containing Heavenly Mother’s sacrifice, I did not understand why She had to choose such a difficult path of sufferings. After I have watched for several times, I just reacted calmly and thought, ‘Yeah, like in the film,Heavenly Mother indeed suffered a lot.’ Without realizing that deep love, I just continued giving pain and scars to Heavenly Mother every day.

Throughout extremely hot weather few days ago, I guess from something that I had ate made me have a stomach ache, and it was burning that I couldn’t bear. I thought I would get better since I took medicine and went to the hospital and had an IV, however I started to have chills, wouldn't move my head because of the headache, which eventually gave me so much pain that I couldn’t even take a step forward. It was my first time being sick like this.

As if I might be ready to collapse, enduring the pain, I finally reached home and collapsed on my bed. Though the weather was hot,having chills, I had to pull over the blanket on me. It was really hot and cold. It was painful which I can’t describe that feeling with words. Then, I started to have high fever, my whole body became hot like a great ball of flame which didn't let me have any energy to even moan, and I couldn’t open my eyes because it hurt so much.

As I gradually fell into a coma, I started to think of Heavenly Mother. She clearly came up in my head just like I have watched on the film. Our Heavenly Mother, who couldn’t even buy medicine because She had no money despite of the high fever and being ill, and She had to endure all the pains throughout the long night in a cold room. Our Heavenly Mother, who had to suffer all alone in a cold room, where even the water jug was all frozen.

I even thought of Heavenly Mother who massaged elaborately of one patient sitting on Her knees. Oh Heavenly Mother! At that moment I realized that Her cartilage was all worn out. Tears welled up my eyes and it fell down my cheeks. It fell continually, like beads falling of its string.


‘Oh Mother! How did You endure the pain hanging between life and death, all alone… What kind of sinner am I! Why did You have to endure that long painful night without medicine for this maggot life; to save me, the sinner? Mother! Why did You have to endure that pain for this invaluable worthless sinner? Mother I am so sorry. I am so sorry, Mother!’

My soul hurt more than my body. It was irresistible to stop my tears, feeling the Mother’s pain that She had to suffer for me. Oh, what kind of sinner am I... For a long time I was heartless, disregarding and ignoring Heavenly Mother’s love… My sinful past came up in my mind like a film and pierced my soul.

I couldn’t say anything but I was sorry... I hated myself so much and I endlessly missed Heavenly Mother. I was sorry and endlessly missing Her... I wanted to come near to Her but I had the mind that I couldn’t possibly get near to the noble Heavenly Mother... At that time, I felt as if She was stroking my head with a benevolent smile. I think through all the pains and regrets I fell asleep.

When I woke up, my whole body and head was stiff with pain, and my blanket was all wet. I thought of Heavenly Mother who smiled and stroke my head. Oh Heavenly Mother! For me, these several hours are so painful as if I am going to die, how did You endure many long painful nights? Because of me, I made You to go through all the sufferings! I was so sorry that I wept and wept...

Thinking that this sinful child might not be saved without realizing Mother’s love, I believe with Her great grace, She made me realize a ten-thousandth of Mother’s love. Now, I will not just stay crying. I will change my sorrows into actions and live a life of repentance.

Mother, please let me scrub off dirt of as a prodigal sinner and wash my filthy soul with Your water of life! Mother, allow me to give this whole body and mind to You! Mother, allow me to give a gift of repentance to You! Mother, allow me to love You so that all Your pains cannot become in vain! Allow me to proclaim Mother’s great sacrifice to the whole world! My Mother, I truly deeply give thanks to You.

Just For the Child - WMSCOG, World Mission Society Church of God, Christ Ahnsahnghong

I miss our God, Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.

The rest of my mom’s life is shorter than the life she has been living. She goes in and out of the hospital as if it is her home.

Since she repeats being hospitalized and getting discharged because of constant fainting and tripling,I always had to hear the news from my elder sisters.

Being the sixth of the seven children, I lived in Chicago and all the rest of my family lived in Indiana.

I thought she was fainting because of vertigo, but after knowing that it happened because of her blurry sight, I returned to Chicago.

After having a checkup in a hospital, she had the result that she has lost almost all of her sight of one of her eyes.

She was also diagnosed that her other eye was on the primary stage of macular degeneration.

The doctor said that if she leaves her other eye without operation, she will lose all of her sight.


Being the youngest, after setting the date of operation, I decided to be with her.

Living a life only for her children,she endured the pain all alone without saying that she was ill, worrying that the children might worry about her.


I was thankful having the time with my mom.

Meanwhile, she was delivered to Zion, into Heavenly Mother’s arms.

She got rid of the idols that she had been worshiping for a long time; out of her heart.

Taking her to the hospital,nursing, and preparing warm meals for her,

I was so thankful for having the opportunity to serve my mo

m.

My heavy heart became light as a feather.
Reminiscing about my mom’s life, which was only for her children, I realized a bit of Heavenly Mother’s great love and sacrifice.

Though She is hurt, She wouldn't say, though She is tired, She wouldn't say.

I give eternal thanks for Heavenly Mother’s love, the love of looking only after Her children.

Now, I want to be a good daughter for my Heavenly Mother.


Elohim God,has given us the true life and blessings of eternal life for these souls living a life in vain.

With God’s love coming from my heart,

I realize that the only opportunity to repay for their grace is to preach the gospel.

I truly thank Heavenly Mother who is still delivering the message of love for these children who are sinners.

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

The World Mission Society Church of God founded by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong

The World Mission Society Church of God was founded by Ahnsahnghong-nim in Korea in 1964, and its key messages are the second coming of Jesus as a man and the existence of God the Mother.

Christ Ahnsahnghong was born in 1918. He began His ministry in 1948 and ascended to heaven in 1985 after 37 years of ministry. This was to fulfill the prophecy of King David who was anointed to become a king and reigned for 40 years (see 2nd Samuel 5:4.)

This prophecy was supposed to be fulfilled by Jesus 2,000 years ago. Jesus was baptized at the age of 30, but He was crucified by those who did not recognize Him and worked only 3 years as the King of the Universe.

Therefore the Christ should come again in this era to complete the remaining 37 years of David's throne (Hebrew 9:28.)

The WMSCOG started from Korea and spread to the whole world. Recently, millions of people believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother who came to Korea in the flesh. Christ promised that He would appear a second time in the east to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

For this reason, the Church of God believes in Jesus Christ who came a second time as a man with a New Name in these last days (Revelation 2:17 & 3:12.)

Actually you can find this Church in more than 150 countries throughout the world. The number of the registered Church members amounts to around 1.63 million and there are 2,200 Churches around the world.

Today, the world-wide members of the Church of God are preaching the existence of God the Mother.

It's prophesied in the Bible that God the Father are to reveal God the Mother.

Christ Ahnsahnghong taught His disciples the truth about God the Mother through the prophecies of the Bible, which is being preached by the World Mission Society Church of God today.

In the early 1950s, Christ Ahnsahnghong unveiled the existence of God the Mother through the topic "The last Adam and the last Eve."

He explained this truth clearly in notebooks written with His own hand.

So the Church of God is practicing the love of God the Father and God the Mother globally by providing financial assistance to neighbors in need and conducting the blood drives and voluntary activities.

Most recently, 400 members of this Church performed a clean-up campaign in the area "Cerro de la Estrella" in cooperation with the Iztapalapa autonomous government.

Besides, the WMSCOG has contributed to environmental conservation by hosting one-day clean-up campaigns in conjunction with different local governments in Mexico including Naucalpan, Puebla, Nuevo León, Jalisco and Guerrero.
