Preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and Spreading the Truths of the Lord’s Recovery

Today we live in the age of the preaching of the gospel, and the spreading of the truths of the Lord’s recovery – the full and complete gospel of the kingdom – will be a preparation for the Lord’s coming back to bring the recovery and restoration both to Israel and to the entire creation.

According to Rev. 6, the history of the world from the ascension of the Lord Jesus to His return is a four-horse race – the white horse of the gospel of peace, the red horse of war, the black horse of famine, and the pale horse of death.

The white horse and its rider ride victoriously and take the lead, but he is accompanied and helped in the race by the other horses.

When we study human history, the main events we learn are the wars its byproducts of famine, death, etc.

Human history outwardly is nothing else but wars, famine, death, and all kinds of negative things.

However, the white horse of the gospel has been running all throughout the ages, and many have preached the gospel of peace for man to be saved, be brought back to God, and enjoy God as their portion.

Today in this age God is looking for overcomers who preach the gospel of the glory of Christ to be the riders of the white horse.

We do not fight for the gospel, neither do we try to gain the victory as we preach the gospel; rather, we stand in the already-won victory of Christ, we preach the gospel of peace, and we victoriously preach the gospel to all nations for a testimony.

People fight with one another, families fight with one another, countries fight with one another, and all mankind is at war against itself; but we preach the gospel of peace in the midst of all the fighting.

Christ has made peace; He has become our peace, and He brings in peace, so our speaking is to bring in peace in this troubled world, to bring men in a peaceful condition and situation with God, and to produce the church as the kingdom of God.

May we be those who not only see the outward human history filled with war, troubles, famine, and death, but pay much more attention to the divine history and ride the horse of the gospel to bring the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth for a testimony, and then the end will come!

Hallelujah, we are both commissioned and appointed to preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth for the end of this age to be brought in!

In the Age of Gospel Preaching we Preach the Gospel of Peace, the Gospel of the Kingdom, to All Men

In His wisdom God has made this age – the age from the ascension of Christ to His return – the age of the church, the age of mystery, and in particular the age of gospel preaching.

There are four horses riding together in a race until the end of this age; they all race with one another, but the horse of the gospel takes the lead.

Immediately after Christ’s ascension, these four things signified in Rev. 6:1-8 – the gospel, war, famine, and death – began to run like riders on four horses; they ride together and will continue until Christ comes back.

Throughout the centuries it is not the wars, deaths, or famines that have marked mankind, but it is the preaching of the gospel to save men and bring them into the kingdom of God.

The history of the world since Christ’s ascension is a history of preaching the gospel.

This gospel is not a small or low gospel but a full gospel, even the gospel of the kingdom; this full gospel includes everything from the first book in the New Testament – the Gospel according to Matthew – to the last book of the New Testament – Revelation.

The gospel we preach today includes salvation, justification, redemption, the church today, the kingdom in the coming age, and the New Jerusalem in eternity.

Everything that happens to us is a help and even an incentive for us to preach the gospel.

When Paul was on earth, everything that happened to him was for the furtherance of the gospel, for the gospel of peace to be preached, and for the kingdom of God to be enlarged on earth.

Even the opposition of the enemy and his persecution through men works out as a help for us to preach the gospel.

We need to be the riders of the white horse who, in the age of gospel preaching, preach the gospel of the glory of Christ to all men.

This means that we need to first spend time with the Lord, see the glory of God shining in the face of Jesus Christ, and witness to others of the Christ that we have seen, enjoyed, and experienced.

Outwardly there may be wars and rumours of wars, death, famine, and diseases; all these should encourage us and cause us to release the gospel, to allow the gospel of peace to run on the whole earth!

And our gospel preaching is not for us to gain the victory but rather, it is in peace, it is in victory, and in a peaceful way.

We don’t fight with people; we don’t want to convince them or argue with them – we simply present the gospel of peace, the gospel of the glory of Christ, and bring this wonderful, all-inclusive Christ to them.

Hallelujah, the victory has been won, we are riding on a victorious horse, and we preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth for a testimony, and then the end will come!

May we not be bothered by negative responses, rejections, or persecutions, but may we be encouraged to all the more speak this gospel to those around us so that they may be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth!

Hallelujah, we live in an age of gospel preaching, and everything on earth today is for the preaching of the gospel! Amen, Lord, we are here on earth to enjoy You, experience You, live You, and preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth, and then the end will come! We stand one with You, Lord, and we do not look at the opposition, persecution, or rejection; we stand in Your victory and we preach the gospel of peace, the gospel of the glory of Christ, for all men to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth!

We Spread the Truths of the Lord’s Recovery in Preparation for the Lord’s Return and Restoration

We thank and praise the Lord for His recovery; in this age of the degradation of the church, the Lord is bringing a group of people back to the word of God, back to His original intention, back to the pure and unadulterated revelation in the Bible.

The gospel that we are entrusted with is not a low or diluted gospel, a gospel that “makes people feel good”; our gospel is the gospel of the kingdom.

The spreading, running, and racing of the gospel of the kingdom throughout the whole inhabited earth (Matt. 24:14) is the kernel of the divine history within human history.

We are here for this: we are here to preach the gospel of the kingdom (signified by the white horse of the first seal in Rev. 6:1-2) to the whole earth for a testimony to all the nations before the end of this age, the time of the great tribulation.

The Lord has entrusted us with the truth, the pure revelation in God’s word, and the high peak of the divine revelation; the spreading of the truths of the Lord’s recovery will be a preparation for the Lord’s coming back, and His coming back will bring in the recovery and restoration not only to Israel but also to the entire creation (Matt. 24:14; 28:19; 19:28; Isa. 11:9).

What we speak today is not a partial gospel nor a prosperity gospel but the full gospel, a gospel that encompasses everything in the New Testament from Matthew to Revelation.

Our gospel is the gospel of the kingdom of God, the gospel of God’s eternal economy to dispense Himself in Christ as the Spirit into us, His chosen people, through His judicial redemption and by His organic salvation, so that He may gain a built-up Body in the local churches to consummate in the New Jerusalem as His bride, His wife, for His eternal expression (see 1 Tim. 1:3-4; Rom. 1:1; 5:10; Rev. 1:10-11; 21:2-3, 9-11; 22:1-2).

Oh, what a high gospel we have! How high are the truths of the Lord’s recovery, and what a great commission we have to spread them throughout the whole inhabited earth!

God’s unique purpose in this age is to have the gospel preached so that the church as the Body of Christ might be built up to consummate the New Jerusalem (Eph. 3:8-11).

May the Lord burden us to learn the truths of the Lord’s recovery and preach the gospel of the kingdom to the whole inhabited earth!

The gospel of grace and of peace has been widely preached, but what about the gospel of the kingdom? Who knows what the reality of the kingdom is (Matt. 5-7)?

Who speaks of the appearance of the kingdom (Matt. 13) and of the manifestation of the kingdom (Matt. 23-25)?

By the Lord’s mercy, the kingdom truths were opened up to us through the ministry of the age.

By the Lord’s mercy – and not because of our merit or because we are somebody, not because we are more seeking or more spiritual but because of His mercy – we are standing as the church on the ground of oneness, and the heavens are opened to us.

May we learn the truths of the Lord’s recovery and spread them on the whole earth as a testimony to all the nations until the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as waters cover the sea (Isa. 11:9).

May we realize that, subjectively and experientially, day by day God desires to do only one thing with each one of us, that is, to dispense Himself into us little by little, day by day; may we pray daily, Lord, dispense Yourself into me all day long!

And may we pray that the Lord would burden us to learn the divine truths of the gospel and spread them everywhere for His recovery.

We want to learn the divine truths by praying over them, praying with them, and praying them back to the Lord, so that these may be constituted into our being and become part of our being.

Then we can spread the understood divine truths for the Lord’s recovery and restoration.

Especially in Europe there’s a great need for many to know the truth, pray the truth, live out the truth, and spread the truths of the Lord’s recovery in Europe so that the gospel of the kingdom would be preached!

Oh Lord Jesus, these days are the consummation of the age; rekindle our love for You in these days! We give ourselves to You, Lord, to be under Your divine dispensing every day. We give ourselves to You to learn and pray the divine truths in God’s word and to have them constituted into our being so that we may spread the truths of the Lord’s recovery throughout the whole inhabited earth for a testimony! Amen, Lord, burden us to learn the truths, be constituted with the gospel of the kingdom, and spread the understood divine truths for the Lord’s recovery and restoration!
