A female jibsa (a female deacon)

There was a somewhat old female jibsa(집사) at Bansong Church in my rural hometown. She had been the spouse of an ordained pastor, but had to enroll herself in the church and start her church life again as a jibsa, because her husband had passed away during his ministry. Sometimes the preacher of the church was an unordained pastor. In that case she, as a female jibsa of the church, must be respectful to the young spouse of the unordained pastor even though she had been the spouse of an ordained pastor. I think she might be sad and distressed then.​ (Jibsa is the lowest grade in the church in Korea. An ordained pastor is called moksa(목사), and an unordained pastor is called jundosa(전도사) in Korea.)

 

The jibsa had a few sons and a daughter as far as I know. The youngest was a boy a little younger than me. The grown-up sons seemed to have jobs in the cities. The daughter named Yee Han-na was lame of a leg, so she looked uncomfortable when walking. However she smiled all the time, prayed to God every day, served God with all her strength. She met a man, married him and went to his place. The youngest named Yee Yo-sung seemed to be bereaved of his father, a pastor, when he was an elementary school kid. He was a kid when I first saw him at the church. This jibsa worked and raised the children alone. Perhaps her grown sons helped her with their education. Anyway, she got the daughter married successfully, and got the youngest son to graduate from a commercial high school, for she couldn't afford to allow him a college education. The youngest son was a boy so nice and sincere, and he worked for God very hard in the church when he grew up.​

 

Now, come to think of it, her family is a beautiful and truly blessed family, I think. This widow of a pastor humbly kept her faith to the end and raised her children well in all difficulties, and her sons and daughter have grown up to be good, faithful Christians though they didn't graduate from one of the most prestigious universities in Korea. They will surely be rewarded a lot later in heaven. Yo-sung, you called me your older brother (in Jesus), so I'd like to bless you as your older brother and a servant of God: >Almighty God, bless him and his descendants and his sister Han-na and her descendants. In Jesus' name. Amen!<​

 

There are blessed families destined to enter the heaven like that while there are reprobates in the world who will inevitably fall into hell.

H***, who had had terrible faith but had got a doctorate in theology at a university in US, was excommunicated from the Methodist Church in Korea, because he spread his heretic thoughts when he was a professor at the Methodist Theological University. He lives outside the church today, sticking to his poor new theology, taking it as his glory for his new theology to have been rejected by the (ignorant) church. The Devil, in order to hold fast this cursed man in his hand, had his disciples give financial support to him so that he became proud and thought that he was walking a right way. He must feel happy and proud when his students whom he had taught came to him and said, "Professor, your theology is valuable and suitable for these days. Please continue to give us more profound teachings on theology." (Crazy pastors who gave church money to the unbeliever will definitely pay for their sins later.)

Another H***, a gay and a leader of homosexuals in Korea, was born in a Christian family and attended a church. But his church rejected homosexuality, so he left the church and became an activist of the human rights of homosexuals. The Devil, in order to keep this cursed man in his hand, had the media and the political circles make him a symbol of the human rights of the minority, had the lawmakers of two damned parties, Democratic Party and Justice Party, give him an unconditional support, and had even the public broadcasting station give him a special preference and keep giving him the opportunity to appear on television programs as a regular guest in order to give him a lot of money. The Devil increased his wealth to about 10 billion won. Maybe this gay would think he has been so lucky because the way he goes is right.

 

​The two H***s are going on the road of all success but gradually to their end. Of course, they are both going to hell. If so, the wide even way they walk is actually >the slippery steep slope down to hell< the Devil prepared for them. It is an easy way to go for such sinners. The way of all success of the wicked is a slippery slope that takes them into hell. It ist the most deadly trap (and the curse itself) in the world!

 

The homosexual H*** is enjoying such outrageous and unjust privileges, but it is a time when he is paid in the world for all that he did for God when he was a Christian. God is paying him now 100 times as much as he deserves, for what he did in the church, lest he should require of God the reward for some good works he did, at the Last Judgment. 'I(The God) have paid you for all. Now accept all punishments for what you've done against the world I created, forever!' Some pastors gave their churches to their sons and died full of years and honors, but left great scars on their churches and the Christianity. I think that they've received and enjoyed all their rewards in the world for what they had done for God, that now God owes them nothing. Some of you might say their deeds were right in the sight of God seeing that they didn't die when they gave their churches to their sons but enjoyed long life. But in fact, they could expect nothing but punishment from God when they died.

​

God is sincere and faithful, so he rebukes and punishes whenever his blessed children even a little go astray. You'll feel blessed and happy abundantly if you understand that.
