Have you all been fulfilling your mission as tribal messiahs?
You should not lose this tremendous opportunity for blessing from Heaven. If even one person in your tribe is unable to hear the message during this time in Africa, it will be difficult for you in the spirit world.
When you hear the messages, and the deeper you go into what is being said, you will not be able to read them at hoondokhwae without shedding tears. I’m sure you all know what is written in Divine Principle. God created Adam and Eve to assume physical form because He dreamed of establishing three generations.
What happened to those objectives, those dreams, of God’s?
History has continued for thousands of years since the Fall. You all know that amid this course God carried out the providence of restoration without abandoning humankind. To each age, God has allowed embracing humankind differently by choosing a central figure and working through that person.
But what was the result?
Has there been anyone to this day, among the now 6.5 billion people of humankind, who have understood God’s circumstances and heart and has come forth saying that he would liberate God?
Working with the Israelites, God educated the people, but this failed.
Did not the people of Israel become wanderers in the world after they were unable to accept Jesus?
Due to Jesus’ death on the cross, a condition was established for Christianity to be established on the earth. Christianity has continued for two thousand years, waiting to greet the Lord who comes with the knowledge of Heaven’s circumstances. The foundation and circumstances for Christianity to fulfill God’s will with that Lord were established in 1945. At that time, God was revealing the work of heaven through small Christian groups consisting of believers who were alert to God’s efforts.

Heaven had prepared them so that they might immediately recognize and attend to the expected Lord and build a foundation for him. Yet it was difficult for True Father to connect with this base. Heaven even prepared the clan from which Father was to be born.
Yet, what resulted came about because of many unfulfilled conditions. You are all educated in the Principle. You know that one person is not enough. If the lord of a nation is to find his place, there must be people for that nation. By the same token, in fulfilling God’s providence, a group of followers must fulfill their responsibility.
When they failed True Father, the Lord, the circumstances were such that Father had to begin from the bottom of hell. You already know about Father’s course in the wilderness. It is the most profound of miracles that he went through that entire indemnity course and that he has now been able to usher in the sixth year of Cheon Il Guk. It is the realization of a tremendous dream.
In this message, Father talks about how we are living in a truly blessed time. Your responsibility must also be taken into account. Blessed family members, once you are blessed you should not stop there.
God is giving great blessings and grace to the entire world through the True Parents during this world-speaking tour, out of His love for humankind. This time, I am doing this tour with the true sons. It is a time for the Cain and Abel of the entire world to become one.
United they will come to the occasion of the blessing. In attending True Parents they are living in this tremendous age, which is like a dream within a dream, in which they can serve and attend God manifested in the flesh.
We are infinitely happy people. You cannot feel happiness all by yourself; you need a partner. This means you need to multiply and create an environment of sharing.
Isn’t this country ridden with many problems, both externally and internally?
Family problems, AIDS-related problems, and problems of young people are severe in Africa.
In his teaching, Father says that there is no perfection in ignorance. Since people do not know this and they do not know how they were born or why they were born, such unfortunate things exist in the human family. You must show people that there is a good world and that good things exist. I said that the times have changed; in the past, you didn’t know how much indemnity was needed to receive the blessing and give birth to blessed children.
For example, there was a member who waited twenty or thirty years after joining the church, yet passed away to the spiritual world without receiving the blessing. In contrast, how difficult is it to receive the blessing today? Such priceless and infinite grace is being given to you. If you fail to take part in this period of blessing, think of how much historical resentment will remain with your descendants after you go to the spirit world.
This speaking tour is the beginning rather than the end. As true olive trees, you who were blessed should engraft all the wild olive trees to yourself. In the early years of our movement, many of the elder members witnessed events beyond their imagination occurring in reality. It was such a blessed time.
You should read this message for hoondokhwae every day. While you do so the state of your heart will be different. Father, the source of these messages, reads all five of these speeches every day before taking part in hoondokhwae. Why would he do that? You must be deeply grateful for the love Heaven gives infinitely to humankind and be able to share that love with others.

Depending on how you prepare the standard of your heart, this message will become your guide and textbook every day. As you are aware, I visited many nations before coming to Kenya. This message is spawning many miracles.
Until now, Africa was unable to free itself from difficulties. Members have lived through difficult times both spiritually and physically. But now, through this message, you can be reborn. It is a great opportunity for you to become someone who can make a contribution to the world. It is a great chance. If you lose it, yours may forever remain an underdeveloped country. Do you wish your nation to remain like that?
I am told that only the leaders have come here today. In the 1960s Korea’s spiritual standard and the external situation of the nation were in shambles. It was a difficult time; only about a decade had passed since the end of the Korean War.
Only a scant number of years had passed since Father had established the church, after being released from Heungnam prison. The movement was still small and consisted mostly of students.
These students went out witnessing and to enlighten the people during their school vacation periods. Father began the New Village (Sae ma-ul) Movement at that time. There were more middle and high school students than college students at that time.
Raise your hand if you have been to Korea. I see that many of you have been to Korea. How is modern Korea? For thirty or forty years, Father invested his love and devotion in Korea. We know that Korea was truly blessed with heavenly fortune during this time.
However, it is also true that not all Korean people know this fact. Through the recent seminars for Korean leaders, many people are seeing Father in a new light and have come to understand this. We must continuously inform and help people understand this. In your public relations efforts do not hold back from helping people gain a correct understanding of Father.
In terms of the providential history of restoration, it is the time of harvest. It is time to reap the fruits of our efforts. We are planting the seeds in this new era of Cheon Il Guk. You must nurture these seeds and make sure they grow healthily so that you can harvest their fruits.
You must do your best until 2013. You are not alone. Your blessed families are not alone. Billions of blessed families reside in the spirit world, along with the four great saints and countless good ancestors. Think about how long they have waited for this age.
Do not envy the advanced nations. It is written in the Bible: The first shall be last and the last shall be first. You must not miss this time of Heaven’s blessings… Raise your hands and make this pledge.
