I was once blessed to receive, via email, the following Sacred Word from Masaaki-sama: *****People often think that the normal order in prioritizing work is first quality, second quantity, and lastly speed. But I am the complete opposite. I believe the order is first speed, second quantity, and lastly quality. With the limited time we have throughout our lives that we can be engaged in divine work (for Church staff members, it would basically be until retirement, 65 years of age), fixating on quality and taking a lot of time will not actually improve the level of quality itself. By this, I mean that if you are slow, the total amount of work you are able to take on before you retire will be smaller (for example, 100 pieces). However, by doing a huge amount of work at sweeping speed, (for example, 1000 pieces, 2000 pieces, 10,000 pieces—the result will be 100 times that of the slower person), it will result in an increase in quality. I place great importance on this course of action. Of course, I am not compromising on quality. So to always produce work quickly, in great amounts and of the highest quality—this, I say, is the appropriate way for World Church of Messiah, the appropriate way for Meishu-sama who was always up to date, always new. With this in mind each passing day, I take up each task, one by one. I hope this may be of help to everyone.***** With deep gratitude, I was bestowed with this Sacred Word. This revolutionary sacred guidance completely changed my awareness toward divine work. Up until then, I had indeed thought that quality was the most important, just as Masaaki-sama had pointed out. On matters related to communications, publishing, design, and the like, I have the privilege of corresponding with Masaaki-sama almost every day, regardless of it being a weekend or holiday, and the sheer amount and speed of the work Masaaki-sama handles is truly overwhelming. Unsurprisingly, my own reports to Masaaki-sama represent only a small fraction of what he receives—every day, requests for sacred guidance from not only Japan, but from all around the world reach him continuously, making the volume of his work utterly beyond imagination. Masaaki-sama has said, “If we cannot keep up with the speed of the divine work of World Church of Messiah now, then we would definitely have not been able to keep up with the speed of divine work during Meishu-sama’s time,” and, “We who remain after Meishu-sama’s ascension want to somehow solidify faith in Meishu-sama, be able to say, ‘This is what faith in Meishu-sama is.’ But the speed at which divine work unfolded during Meishu-sama’s lifetime was simply beyond imagination.” (Sacred Word from Grand Autumn Service, October 6, 2024.) Not limited to matters such as communications and publications alone, but in all kinds of matters, Masaaki-sama produces works at great speed, vast quantities and of the utmost quality, and advances the divine work of World Church of Messiah of recent years at truly superhuman speed—I must say that Masaaki-sama is indeed the living Meishu-sama of our time.
