As the scripture in Revelations describes, the Overcomer is the one who has the sickle to harvest the ripe grain. You must be perfectly ripe in order for me to harvest you. I put all my effort into making you mature. In order to be spiritually mature, you have to overcome all the difficulties confronting you. God showed me his providence and plan, which he had never announced to anyone before, to let me work for you to become ripe spiritually. He gave me a secret covenant for my work.

Many people are preaching the words of Jesus Christ even now. But there is no one who can preach what Jesus wants from us now. Nobody knows what he wants. But I am working for him step by step.

You must know the providence of God and understand what God wants from us in order to receive salvation. Many people have thought they just need to believe in God and worship him in their own way. But this is a mistake.

When King Saul worshiped God in a way that God never commanded, he could not escape punishment from God. God told Saul through Samuel, “You acted foolishly. You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you;

if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time” (1Sam. 13:13) and “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams” (1Sam. 15:22).

Even if you work hard for God, it does not guarantee God’s blessing. It is important to work on what he wants in the way he wants. The servant of God should let God be satisfied and make him say, “Fortunately, I chose the right person as my servant.” We have to work in a way that God approves.

My dear people, today is Thanksgiving Day. People offer God what they have harvested this year. They thank God for letting them have a peaceful life. On Thanksgiving Day, we have to focus not only on the offering of the earthly harvest, but also on the offering of the spiritual harvest. You have to deeply ponder whether you are becoming spiritually ripe or still remaining immature.

Why do we worship even during difficult times like these? Because we do not want to be abandoned in the spiritual world. No matter whether we were rich or poor and no matter whether we were famous or miserable in this world,
