Recently, Rev. Dr. Jung-Hyun Oh, the senior pastor of the SaRang Church in South Korea reminded believers to Christians to pray more and thereby receive blessings from God.
In a sermon titled “Prayers of the Remnant” released on the official WeChat account of the “SaRang Chinese Ministry”, Rev. Dr. Jung-Hyun Oh preached on Zechariah 8.
Rev. Oh said, “In Genesis 3, human beings disobeyed and sinned against God, and the ground was cursed. Yet God promised to heal the land, which means, God will provide for our livelihood. Those who maintain a good vertical relationship with God will be blessed with healing in the horizontal relationship with their neighbors as well. In this way, we are made to be blessings, rather than just receivers of blessings. This is the blessing of recovery. Through the remnant of the people, who are enjoying the blessings, God is going to heal the land completely. The remnant have an influence on people of all nations, even the gentiles.”
Regarding what is the “remnant of the people”, he explained, “In Isaiah, it’s said that the remnant are the remaining people, the holy stumps when the trees were felled. In our words, the remnant are people who have received the mission, who see the mission as being more important than their life, with the power of the Word.”
“These are the remnant,” Rev. Oh continues according to Revelation 14:4, “The 'remnant theology' of the Old Testament refers to the idea that, through a small number of remnants, God saves a large proportion of people or even all people. When we shoulder this Mission as remnants, God will gradually solve the important issues of countries and history, one after another. This is the grace of the remnant.”
“We are the remnant when we pray the remnant prayers,” he added.
“The remnants pray for a spiritual harvest, that is, the dead rising to life through the gospel. If we want a harvest, we need rainfall at appropriate times. We can only experience a spiritual harvest with the rain of the Holy Spirit, namely, the showers in seasons, the former rain and the latter rain. That is to say, His showers in seasons are the showers of blessings that transcend seasons. Because of the former and latter rains, we can expect a spiritual harvest,” the Korean pastor claimed.
“We are blessed through our good shepherd Jesus, but it doesn’t mean becoming blessed is the end of the story. We need to pray more for leaders. As we ask for blessings for leaders, the spiritual harvests are opened to us... The spiritual harvests will be recovered, and all of the other things will be recovered.”
Rev. Oh concluded, “We are indeed in great need of praying for our children, and for the next generation... Praying with tears should be a focus of this age, to strive to save this nation and the next generation. This is what the history of the heavenly kingdom really looks like when the remnants pray.”

近日，韩国“爱的教会”中文礼拜部发布了主任牧师吴牧师的证道《余民的祷告》。吴牧师重点讲解了撒加利亚书8章，提醒大家多多祷告，就会得到从神而来的祝福。
吴牧师分享说：“在创世纪3章，我们犯罪不顺从神，地就受了咒诅。然而神应许要恢复这地。这意思就是，神要保护我们的生计，维持好与神之间纵向关系的人，在与邻舍横向关系上也会得到神所赐的恢复。这时我们就能成为施福的源头，而不是受福的对象。这就是恢复的祝福，通过这余剩的民，享受这一切的福，神要施行完全的恢复。余剩的民不仅会影响到列邦的人和强国的民，也会影响到列国诸族的外邦人。”
到底什么是“余剩的民”？
吴牧师解释说：“以赛亚书上说余剩的民是圣洁的树墩子，是余剩的百姓。按我们的说法就是领受使命的人。借着话语，视使命比生命更重要的人。”
启示录14章14节里说：“这些人未曾沾染妇女，他们原是童身。羔羊无论往哪里去，他们都跟随他。他们是从人间买来的，作初熟的果子归与神和羔羊。”
“这些人就是余剩的民。”吴牧师借着分享：“旧约余民神学（Remnant Theology）指的是少数的余民能使大多数百姓，甚至所有的百姓得救。当我们背负起这余剩的民的使命时，神会在我们不知不觉中，将那些国家和历史攸关的问题都一一解决。这便是余剩的民的恩典。”
怎样才能成为余剩的民？
吴牧师提醒：“当我们做余民的祷告时，就能成为余剩的民。”
余剩的民的祷告是怎样的？
第一，为属灵的丰收祷告时，就能成为余剩的民。吴牧师分享说：“余剩的民会为了属灵的丰收而祷告。属灵的丰收就是借着福音叫死人复活。想要获得大丰收，就需要适时的雨水浇灌。唯有圣灵的时雨、春雨、秋雨这些恩雨降下，此案有可能经历属灵的丰收。这就是说，圣灵的时雨是超越季节的甘霖。因着春雨和秋雨的浇灌，我们可以期待这属灵的丰收。”
第二，为领导者们祷告时，就能成为余剩的民。吴牧师说：“相信因着成为我们良善牧者的耶稣，我们成了蒙福之人。不是成了蒙福之人就结束了。我们要更多的为领导者们祷告。当我们向神祈求赐下领导者的祝福时，我们面对的属灵丰收就会打开。……我们属灵的丰收要被恢复，然后其它的一切也都会跟着被恢复。”
第三，余剩的民为下一代祷告，诚心为下一代祷告的人，会成为余剩的民。吴牧师分享：“为下一代，为我们的子女祷告着实是非常迫切的。……流泪祷告应当要成为这个时代的焦点，务要拯救这民族，拯救下一代。这就是余剩的民祷告时所兴起的神国历史的真实模样。”
