이영훈 목사의 절대긍정의 영성과 리더십 = The Spirituality and Leadership of Absolute Positivity of Pastor LEE Young-hoon

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pastor Lee Young-hoon, as the second senior pastor of Yoido Full Gospel Church, is widely regarded as the successor who inherited and advanced the concept of “the Spirituality of Absolute Positivity” based on the pastoral philosophy of Pastor Cho Yong-gi, including the Fivefold Gospel, the Triple Blessing, and the Spirituality of the Fourth Dimension. This paper analyzes Pastor Lee Young-hoon’s spirituality and leadership using the key word “Absolute Positivity.” Lee learned the concept of “the Spirituality of Absolute Positivity” from his devout family, his mother, and Pastor Cho Yong-gi. Lee also underwent life-long training in this spiritual perspective through his life and ministry. Lee also committed himself to his ministry, making Jesus Christ the model of “Absolute Positivity” and bearing abundant fruits.
The foundation of Lee’s leadership of Absolute Positivity is rooted in his example of positivity and the ministry motto and vision of “Absolute Positivity, and Absolute Gratitude.” The form of Lee’s Absolute Positivity reflects the character of Jesus Christ. The primary function of Lee’s leadership based on Absolute Positivity is to promote spiritual revival in individuals and within the church. Lastly, the focus of Lee’s Absolute Positivity is to establish the Kingdom of God in society through practice of love and spiritual transformation. While Pastor Cho Yong-gi had emphasized the spirituality of hope of the fourth dimension, making much of the gifts and personality of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Lee Young-hoon, inheriting Cho’s spiritual legacy well, has also emphasized the spirituality of Absolute Positivity, making much of personal sanctification (the character of Jesus) and social sanctification of the Holy Spirit. If Pastor Cho Yong-gi can be described as a “Pastor of Hope,” Pastor Lee Young-hoon can be evaluated as a “Pastor of Absolute Positivity.”
