Obedience
Be obedient to commands. Although a command may not be just, be obedient to it. By following the command, you will be able to take over the authority of the commander.
If you do not carry out Heaven's command on the individual level, how can God give you blessing on the family level?
Absolute obedience and absolute surrender automatically put you in the position of an object. Jealousy and envy put you in the position of conflict.
The loyal subject and the treacherous subject originally belong to the same class of people. But the former is obedient to his king's will, while the latter is self-centered. The loyal subject walks the straight path, and his beginning and end are always the same.
It is God who has enabled you to have a heartfelt mind, so you should bow before Him with that mind. You must also feel sorry before Him and His Will.
God is looking for a historically obedient person. Be a person who is obedient to commands and who awaits even bigger commands.
It is natural to be obedient to a superior, but you must be able to obey and feel ashamed even before a child's command.
To be obedient means to become one with the subject and take part in his glory.
Until now God advised but did not command. The time has come when He commands, but the number of those who receive His command will be extremely limited.
The ultimate determinant of success or failure is loyalty alone.
God can never ignore those who are truly loyal.
What matters in the end is not your knowledge or position, but the sincerity with which you love God-given circumstances and make much of time. Look at Yoo Kwan Soon [a girl who advocated a movement for the independence of Korea]. She had nothing to be proud of, but she was loyal when the nation failed to be loyal and even when she faced circumstances that would make loyalty impossible. Thus she established a standard of loyalty for this nation, didn't she?
After the period of loyalty comes the period when we present our offerings, which determines success or failure. The central figures who were responsible for the history of restoration did not fail in the period of loyalty but in the period of offering.
It is true that genuine happiness and glory sprang from where people were most sorrowful, miserable and agonized.
A nation will never perish if its leaders and followers communicate with one another in genuine tears in pursuit of one common purpose. Moreover, how could mankind ever perish if our tears and God's would blend as one? Men are destined to weep in the Last Days, whether they cry tears of sorrow or tears of joy. What sort of tears will you cry?
I will not thoughtlessly receive your sincere loyalty. If my sincerity is less than yours, I will be smitten by God.
What is not true can never remain in history. Give truthfully. The Israelites should have obeyed Moses absolutely until the destruction of the seven Canaanite tribes. Until the Lord establishes God's sovereignty in one nation and restores other nations through it in the Last Days, you must obey him absolutely.
When you make a deposit in a bank and then want to make a withdrawal, you must go through a certain procedure. How much more complicated must be the procedure to restore a life already dead? Since you don't know the particulars of this difficult procedure, obedience is the wisest way.
Before God there should be three kinds of people: those who are adventurous, those who are loyal, and those who are obedient. If we belong to none of these categories, we cannot enter the Heavenly Kingdom.
Everyone can and must be obedient, but not everyone can submit himself. Indemnity can be done only through submission.
You who are following Heaven should not clamor against what I am doing when you are only judging from appearances.
Don't complain against God. Your complaint would become a sin which could hardly be forgiven.
When you are accused for some reason, make a sincere effort to indemnify more than what you are accused of.
