Diary of a Christian: Learning the Lesson of Obedience

Friday, January 5, 2018 Sunny

Today was a day I’ll never forget. The person in charge told me that urgently needed a sister to perform hosting duties and asked if I’d be willing. When I heard this, my heart was in turmoil and I couldn’t calm myself down. I never thought I would be asked to perform this duty, and the discontent I felt inside came straight out: “How can you arrange for me to do hosting duties? Elderly brothers and sisters are suited to do that kind of duty. Though my caliber may be lacking, it’s not so poor that I’m only fit to do hosting duties! I’ve been a leader for years and wherever I go, brothers and sisters host me and revolve around me, and yet now I’m actually expected to host others in turn? Don’t you know anything about how to use people?

I Shed Remorseful Tears Before the Almighty God

I. Having Listened to the Rumors and Believed the Lies, I Blindly Resisted God;

For “Guarding the Church” and “Defending the Way,” I Shut Out the Lord.

I am Wang Haijun, formerly a preacher in the “Justification by Faith Church.” Like other brothers and sisters, I believed in God for the purpose of going to heaven and gaining eternal life, and I served God for the purpose of gaining the crown of righteousness. While I was earnestly expecting the Lord to return to reward me, I actually shut the door on the Lord and became one who resisted God, because I was foolish and ignorant and believed the rumors.

Zheng Yi is a Christian. When he heard about the CCP government's brutal persecution of Eastern Lightning and the arrest of Christians during his work in the United States, he pondered, "The CCP is an atheist party, a satanic regime that resists God most. Under the frenzied persecution and suppression by the CCP, Eastern Lightning has still become increasingly prosperous. It most likely is the true way." So he examined Eastern Lightning on the website of The Church of Almighty God.

I stand before my God again today. My heart has much to say when I see His lovely face. I've left my wandering past behind me. His word fills me with bliss and joy from His grace. It's God's tender words that water and nourish me to grow up. It's His stern words that encourage me to stand up again. God, we sing to You today 'cause of Your blessings. We give praise to You today because You've raised us. Almighty true God who has loved us! We love You! Oh God! We truly do!

Nine International NGOs Issued a Joint Statement Condemning the CCP’s Persecution of The Church of Almighty God

Chronicles of Religious Persecution in China

The CCP has not only frenziedly persecuted The Church of Almighty God in mainland China, but stretched out its evil hands overseas time after time. In early November of 2017, the CCP utilized some people in South Korea sympathetic to the party to post articles online to attack The Church of Almighty God. From November 20 to 21, Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, two Hong Kong-based mouthpieces for the CCP, published seventeen reports in succession against The Church of Almighty God. These reports centered around the rumors and fake news that had been sensationalized by the CCP for years. Immediately following, some media outlets in Taiwan republished four of those reports. In the short period of two days, twenty-one reports were published in Hong Kong and Taiwan to attack and discredit The Church of Almighty God, a practice rarely seen in Hong Kong and other democratic countries and regions. On November 28, nine international NGOs issued a joint statement condemning the CCP’s persecution of The Church of Almighty God ，They particularly urged media outlets to be cautious and not to repeat the fake news spread by the Chinese regime.

The Hymn of God's Word "The Work of Judgment in the Last Days Is to End the Age" | The Church of Almighty God

I The last days is but a name of an age, like the Ages of Law and Grace, not the last years or months, and differs a lot from those two ages. The last days' work isn't done in Israel, but it's carried out among the Gentiles. It is the conquest of all nations before God's throne. And God's glory will fill the whole cosmos. It will be proclaimed to all nations, and through all generations. Every creature will see the glory God has gained on earth.
II The last days are a time of conquest, not the guidance of all people's life. But instead it is the conclusion of mankind's undying and endless suffering. The last days are not like the long years when God worked in Judea and Israel for several thousand years until His second incarnation, but rather brief. The people of the last days encounter the Redeemer coming back in the flesh, and receive God's personal working and words in those brief last days just before the end. The last days, final end of an era, the completion of God's 6000-year-plan. The last days, the end of man's journey, end of man's journey of suffering. But not all can enter a new age. Human life won't continue the same. For it is of no significance to God's great plans. For if mankind persisted, they'd be devoured by the devil, and their souls lost in Satan's hands.
III The last days, the time is up. God will not continue longer; He won't delay. The last days, Satan's defeat. God will take back all His glory. He won't delay. God's work lasts but for six thousand years. Satan's control over all mankind shall persist no further than these six millennia. Every soul belonging to God will escape the sea of suffering, and God's entire work on earth will end. Never more will God become flesh on earth. Never more His Spirit work on earth. He will remake mankind, a holy mankind, into His faithful dwelling place on earth. The last days, final end of an era, the completion of God's 6000-year-plan. The last days, the end of man's journey, end of man's journey of suffering. But not all can enter a new age. Human life won't continue the same. For it is of no significance to God's great plans. For if mankind persisted, they'd be devoured by the devil, and their souls lost in Satan's hands. The last days, final end of an era, the completion of God's 6000-year-plan. The last days, the end of man's journey, end of man's journey of suffering. The last days. The last days. The last days.

Almighty God's Word "Man Can Only Be Saved Amidst the Management of God" (Excerpt, Stage Version) | The Church of Almighty God

Almighty God's Word "Man Can Only Be Saved Amidst the Management of God" (Excerpt, Stage Version) | The Church of Almighty God

Almighty God says, "How many creatures are there living and reproducing in the vast expanse of the universe, following the law of life over and over, adhering to one constant rule. Those who die take with them the stories of the living, and those who are living repeat the same tragic history of those who have died. And so mankind can’t help but ask itself: Why do we live? And why do we have to die? Who is in command of this world? And who created this mankind? Was mankind really created by Mother Nature? Is mankind really in control of its own fate? … For thousands of years mankind has asked these questions, over and over again. Unfortunately, the more that mankind has become obsessed with these questions, the more of a thirst he has developed for science. Science offers brief gratification and temporary enjoyment of the flesh, but is far from sufficient to free mankind of the solitariness, loneliness, and barely-concealed terror and helplessness deep within his soul. Mankind merely uses scientific knowledge that the naked eye can see and the brain can comprehend to anesthetize his heart. Yet such scientific knowledge cannot stop mankind from exploring mysteries. Mankind does not know who is the Sovereign of all things in the universe, much less does he know the beginning and future of mankind. Mankind merely lives, perforce, amidst this law. None can escape it and none can change it, for among all things and in the heavens there is but One from everlasting to everlasting who holds sovereignty over everything. He is the One who has never been beheld by man, the One whom mankind has never known, in whose existence mankind has never believed, yet He is the One who breathed the breath into mankind’s ancestors and gave life to mankind. He is the One who supplies and nourishes mankind for its existence, and guides mankind up to the present day. Moreover, He and He alone is whom mankind depends on for its survival. He holds sovereignty over all things and rules all living beings beneath the universe. He commands the four seasons, and it is He who calls forth wind, frost, snow, and rain. He gives mankind sunshine and brings the coming of night. It was He who laid out the heavens and earth, providing man with mountains, lakes and rivers and all the living things within them. His deed is everywhere, His power is everywhere, His wisdom is everywhere, and His authority is everywhere. Each of these laws and rules are the embodiment of His deed, and every one of them reveals His wisdom and authority. Who can exempt themselves from His sovereignty? And who can discharge themselves from His designs? All things exist beneath His gaze, and moreover, all things live beneath His sovereignty. His deed and His power leave mankind with no choice but to acknowledge the fact that He really does exist and holds sovereignty over all things. No other thing apart from Him can command the universe, much less can it ceaselessly provide for this mankind. Regardless of whether you are able to recognize the deed of God, and irrespective of whether you believe in the existence of God, there is no doubt that your fate lies within the ordination of God, and there is no doubt that God will always hold sovereignty over all things. His existence and authority are not predicated upon whether or not they can be recognized and comprehended by man. Only He knows man’s past, present and future, and only He can determine the fate of mankind. Regardless of whether you are able to accept this fact, it will not be long before mankind witnesses all of this with his own eyes, and this is the fact that God will soon bring to bear. Mankind lives and dies under the eyes of God. Mankind lives for the management of God, and when his eyes close for the final time, that is also for the very same management."

Almighty God's Word "Do You Know? God Has Done a Great Thing Among Men" (Excerpt, Stage Recitation) | The Church of Almighty God

1. This time, God comes to do work not in a spiritual body but in a very ordinary one. Not only is it the body of God’s second incarnation, but also the body in which God returns. It is a very ordinary flesh. In Him, you cannot see anything that is different from others, but you can receive from Him the truths you have never heard before, receive from Him the truths you have never heard before. This insignificant flesh is the embodiment of all the words of truth from God, that which undertakes God’s work in the last days, and an expression of the whole of God’s disposition for man to come to know. Did you not desire greatly to see the God in heaven? Did you not desire greatly to understand the God in heaven? Did you not desire greatly to see the destination of mankind? He will tell you all these secrets that no one can ever tell you, and He will even tell you of the truths that you do not understand. He is your gate into the kingdom, and your guide into the new age.

Guozi    USA

My name is Guozi, and I’m a high school student studying abroad in the USA. I was born in a Christian family, and my mother accepted the work of Almighty God in the last days when I was one year old. I remember when I was very young that my mother would always say to me: “God created heavens, earth, and everything that exists. We humans were also created by God, and God loves us more than anything. Whenever something happens to you, remember to pray to Almighty God, and He will watch over and protect you.” So when I was very young I learned that God exists, and when anything happened to me and I prayed to God, I experienced God’s protection for me. But truly having knowledge of God and God’s work was something I gradually gained in the course of attending gatherings and fellowshiping about the truth together with brothers and sisters of the Church of Almighty God and practicing entering into the word of God …
