Pastor Naomi, thank you for doing the first part of this.
I think this is very essential for anyone having the task of all forms of reporting at hand.
May I know whether you have the remaining part of this done and ready for posting here?

Many thanks,
Yvonne.

Good afternoon Pastor Naomi

Thank you so much, this is tremendously helpful.
Have a great day

Principles of Reporting

“Life of reporting is responsibility.”

VII.   What Should We Report?

I. Definition of Reporting

   To report is to investigate and survey facts and such, then systematically organize them so that you can provide the necessary information to receive decisions (direction). Here, each of the roles for both the reporter and the decision-maker is different. The reporter must not overstep their boundaries of authority by making decisions, and the reporter has the responsibility to report to the decision-maker who does hold the authority to make decisions.

Prayer(Reporting): is asking God.
Prayer(Reporting): is our responsibility and giving is God’s responsibility.

The Attitude of the Reporter

1.   You should never be arrogant nor center on yourself. Satan was arrogant but Jesus was obedient to God to the day of his death.
2.   Authority comes from God so whoever receives authority must always return the glory to God.

II. Characteristics of Reporting

1.   Purpose: It is to provide the desired information to the counterpart.
2.   Objectivity: You must speak the truth as is.
3.   Accuracy: Investigation, experimentation, survey results, statistics, language, etc. must be accurate.
4.   Reply: You must receive the decisions regarding the reported case.   
Try to do an errand without fully understanding the instructions. In that case, even after a hundred attempts, it will all be done in vain. That’s why I always say, “Understand what I say. Practice it many times before you leave.” Then if you say, “Is it this?” and when I say, “Yes, that’s it,” then you may leave. If you leave when you didn’t understand the instructions, you will only end up doing something else. And in the midst of doing something, if you feel, “This doesn’t seem right,” then you question yourself and come to me immediately. Would I cut down a pine tree that I nurtured myself? ‘That’s strange. He said that we shouldn’t cut down pine trees but he’s telling us to cut it down now.’ That is very unlikely. That’s when you should come and ask me. You can’t come to me after you have cut down a pine tree I nurtured. That’s what it’s like.
Report through people. So if something is questionable, you should come back and ask again. 
[July 18, 1998 Sat. Always Be Happy]

5.   Timeliness: You must discern what must be reported quickly and slowly.

III. How Should the Reporting Be Done?

1.   You must report through a channel. Even formal matters must be reported through a channel.

A.   I’m conducting operations today so aside from operators, no one should come near me. If you come near me, I cannot think and map things out. During operation, we must set boundaries so that no one comes nearby. And simply because operation is completed, you shouldn’t crowd around me all at once. If you need to report, you should speak to my assistants and receive permits that way. If you don’t it systematically, I will not even accept your greeting. When you visit someone else’s home, it is unlawful to pick up the phone even when it is ringing. You must know when to sit and stand. You shouldn’t crowd me. First, stay at a distance, then report through my assistants. God makes history through channels, and I also work through channels. If you cling to me, even with only a few number of people, I feel suffocated. However, even if there may be 10,000 people, if you remain where you are naturally, I will go to you according to the visions I see. But people crowd around me when I go to someone. If I’m going to a person’s house, why should others come along? Why do you come and impose yourself? It is that household that is hosting me so why should their neighbor come and cause annoyance? You shouldn’t come at a time like that. If I approach someone, I am only meeting that person. I am judging that person so why do you want to receive the judgment, too. What I like most is when the sheep play in the field leisurely. On the other hand, you should gather together, prepare, and pray together before morning service. If it’s not early morning, when else will you have time to pray? It’s because you don’t pray that the standards are low. [September 6, 1996 Fri. Advice on Servitude]

B.   If you report to me directly, it will be forgotten. Report to my secretaries. So let them feel a sense of responsibility and receive permissions that way. If it’s not general matters I can forget, it is best to report formal reports through a channel. Individual matters are less restrictive but church matters must absolutely be submitted through a channel. It cannot be just submitted. There are just too many people speaking to me that I have turned a deaf ear. The reason is that it gives me a headache. General matters should be solved through the Word. If you run after me and ask me questions even after you have listened to the message, my head feels numb. It must be resolved through the message. If you have formal reports, make the secretaries understand and tell them. Then there are thing that they can take care of and there are things they will bring to me. Whatever you report to me, I will forget it. Reports from pastors alone are several hundred people. If you include the supporting leaders, it is nearly 1000 people, including Campus Leaders are several thousand people. If every single one of them report to me individually, I don’t remember. Important reports should be written importantly and submitted. At times, even if I may have given a response to a report, I can’t remember them. I barely remember them only when I am deep in prayer or during mountain prayer. So, instead, report accurately to my secretaries, and report convincingly to them. Then, they will check on important issues. You can report to me simply because you are a pastor. You will only pay for it later when I make a decision based on a building I may not know much about. There are cases like that when you make a mistake in what you say, so you must report with care to detail. General matters is not that big an issue but formal matters will be forgotten if reported directly. Of course if you tell them to me, they all get resolved. God does want me to work to the point of exhaustion but if I’m too exhausted, I will not be able to understand what is being told to me. So whatever the case, pray. The bible tells us how we should pray. How can I possibly meet all of you? By receiving all the problematic reports, I won’t be able to accept greetings. That cannot happen. People with problems should all sit in one corner. If I meet people with problems, I won’t have time to converse with people without problems. That is my honest confession. There are problems that will be resolved on their own. You may say, “Teacher, I am standing now but my back hurt terribly,” but in the course of time, your back may not hurt anymore. Like this, there are problems that will be resolved on the way. Some say, “Teacher, I have a headache from worrying about my future plans.” Then I reply, “Your future plans are nothing but Soju?” Sometimes I say, “There are times that you will drink rice wine.” In the course of time, there will be a way. So why ask when you haven’t even tried it? Look at me. My next plan of action comes to mind because I stick to my duties. If you only sit and plan things in your mind, your head will burst. I learned from God that action is easier than thinking about it. Of course I understand that since you’re young, you would want to ask certain things. But in providence, you already received the blessing. God will not leave you to die; instead, he does all kinds of things for you.  [November 7, 1998 Sat. Overcome Hardships]

C.   (While people crowded to report after the event)
You cannot chase after me only when there is time. You must keep order. I’m tired. You cannot perceive me as your average neighbor. You have no manners. Are you that close to me? To be honest, you are not even that close to me. Some people try to meet me on their knees, and some try to meet me standing erect. They are all the same. I’m not telling you to come meet me on their knees. Aren’t there many cases where you should meet me through channels? What’s the point of running after me when my thoughts are already on something else? I woke up at 2am today and was working on a book so my eyes blinking shut.
[June 17, 1998 Wednesday Lord, Please Remember Me]

2.   Report Beforehand

This is because if you do it without permission, it will be the work of man and not the work of God. God works through man but you can’t testify with certainty. Even if you were inspired, you don’t know what inspiration it is. There is a difference even after reporting with a simple statement, “I will do this.” Don’t do it on your own. I hate it when people report after they’ve already done it. Even if it may have been your best plan, it is different for me. This camel rock, too. I thought that this was perfect but from the perspective of the spiritual world, the edges were broken. Before the perfect appears, the imperfect falls apart.
[July 3, 1997 Thursday Morning Message]

3.   General Rules of Reporting

Report as is.
Report according to the 6 fundamental rules.
Problems mustn’t be accumulated.
You must report immediately.
You must discern what should be reported and what needn’t be reported.
You must understand and keep watch over the people in your domain.

A. You must understand and solve problems of the people in your domain. Those are the types of reports I receive. That is why I appoint reporters and receive national reports. Nowadays, the head leaders are the reporters. But ever since I set up head leaders as reporters, they don’t report often. If there are problems, they try to take care of it themselves. If they report to me immediately, it would be resolved but they only cause me worry by trying to handle it themselves. You must not do that. The people who report well are the people who report to me as is. You can’t solve it yourself so you must report it to me as is. If there is a rustling sound when you’re on duty, you must say, “It is rustling.” I know this because I did this before in the past. “Where did the sound come from? What did it sound like? Did it sound like a passing animal?” “If it was an animal, it would’ve rustled repeatedly, but it was not a repeated sound. It just rustled once and I’m not sure if they were surprised by the sound they made but since they are still, I think it’s a person.” “Really? Keep investigating.” That’s how it should be done.

3. General Rules of Reporting

Report as is.
Report according to the 6 fundamental rules.
Problems mustn’t be accumulated.
You must report immediately.
You must discern what should be reported and what needn’t be reported.
You must understand and keep watch over the people in your domain.

A. Discern Carefully and Report at Each Moment   
You must understand and solve problems of the people in your domain. Those are the types of reports I receive. That is why I appoint reporters and receive national reports. Nowadays, the head leaders are the reporters. But ever since I set up head leaders as reporters, they don’t report often. If there are problems, they try to take care of it themselves. If they report to me immediately, it would be resolved but they only cause me worry by trying to handle it themselves. You must not do that. The people who report well are the people who report to me as is. You can’t solve it yourself so you must report it to me as is. If there is a rustling sound when you’re on duty, you must say, “It is rustling.” I know this because I did this before in the past. “Where did the sound come from? What did it sound like? Did it sound like a passing animal?” “If it was an animal, it would’ve rustled repeatedly, but it was not a repeated sound. It just rustled once and I’m not sure if they were surprised by the sound they made but since they are still, I think it’s a person.” “Really? Keep investigating.” That’s how it should be done. Like this, you must always report using these 6 rules. When problems accumulate then those problems eventually become my problems. And preventing the problems before it occurs is a huge task. The field will flood if it rains but we must prevent that from happening. If there’s a possibility of a flood when it rains and if we level the ground, the water will not be drained. If we don’t let the water flow, then the water will not drain, and if we let the water flow, the dirt will flow with it which will also be a problem. So, as long as we make a threshold on the edges, we need to let the water flow. Then the dirt will no longer drain with the water. That’s how you do it. Once it rains, a huge amount of dirt flows with the water. It is difficult to make a field during the monsoon season. You must research everything. If you want to do well in anything, you must have reasoning. That’s the type of message I gave.
      From now on, discern the problems well. If it’s not a huge problem, you can eliminate it yourselves. However, if huge problems arise, report them. You need to constantly investigate whether there are problems in the church or department you lead. But people usually don’t talk about their problems. Even the leaders don’t say much. But until it reaches a certain limit of accumulation, I have to get involved. That’s when I say, “Because you didn’t let me know, I hold no responsibility. God said that if you had said it then, He would’ve helped, but because you didn’t say anything, He couldn’t do anything about it. Then He can’t do anything. That time was the time.” In other words, if you had fallen and had broken a blood vessel, you have to put a bandage on it. But what would happen after a month of doing nothing about it? Then, you would go to the spiritual world and say that you died from a broken blood vessel. That is why you must take care of it at the time it occurs. Problems must be taken care of immediately. After awhile, the hole will get bigger. The scar will get bigger and you will die. These things are the same as putting out the fire immediately.
                        [July 16, 1998 Thurs. Be Happy Always]

B. Always Tell Me and Discuss with Me
      Whenever something happens, you must tell it to me before it occurs and we have to take care of it together. That person is a wise person. You can’t report after it happened and has reached its limit. For some people, I just leave them be. It’s because once they reach a certain limit, they will stop. That is how I was educated by God, too. If an ant is placed on top of a plate, the ant will turn around at least to not fall over. So I keep watch until you will eventually turn back around. So, don’t wait until that time. From now on, always discuss with me and tell me.
                        [July 21, 1998 Tues. You are Mine]

C. Report Promptly
      I report to God promptly. During counseling, when people ask me something, I report right away. Why? It’s because I get a headache if I hold onto it so I report it immediately. “It happened this way. It happened this way.” Like this, you must report promptly.
                        [November 22, 1987 Sun. God and I]

D. Don’t Hurt God’s Heart
I do this once in awhile. “Well, I better tell Him that this person abandoned God.” This is a scary thing to say. It is the scariest thing to say. “I will report on you. I will tell him everything according to the principles.” Once I tell God everything, God doesn’t re-investigate. Will the angels come to confirm things? I am a person who is confident enough to say that if they did come to confirm things, I can break their legs with a club. If God, our Father says, “Why did you break the legs of the angels who went to do my errands?” then I could say, “You wanted to confirm that? You’ve been doing things through me so wasn’t it Your work? Would you confirm Your own works?” Understand? God does things through me so would He confirm what He’s done? People may confirm their works but God doesn’t need to. Because God is a God who knows at first glance.   
                  [November 22, 1987 Sun. God and I]

E. I Always Consult with and Report to God.
I still can’t do as I wish with what’s in the future. The reason why I can’t do whatever I wish of things to come is because it is different from my predictions. Even if the people don’t obey, later on, they will go on a different way so I can’t predict everything. When the hearts of the people change, even the plans of the owner of Providence will change. If it was just one person, I would be confident, but because there are many people, although I may be able to discern what they are doing in a corner somewhere, I cannot regulate everything. If there is sin among the people, we will lose in war. Even at the time of Joshua, because there was one person with sin among the people, they were defeated at war. Why did they lose? After investigation, they lost because of that one person. That is why they couldn’t defeat Aijalon, so they thought it was strange, after much thought and investigation, they destroyed everything. So there are cases like that. Those things must always be consulted with God. No matter what difficulties I face, I always consult and discuss with God. All of you must do the same. You will get in trouble if you pout simply because you are facing difficulties or tribulations. Then you will be half dead. Despite all that, you must always be grateful, appreciative, and thankful, and even then, you must report. Then God will acknowledge it and cut it to pieces with one swing. If you please Him, He can eliminate it with one swing of his sword. God doesn’t have to take another step and He can strike it with His long sword. God can make a hole in the earth with His long sword while still sitting on His throne. That’s what I learned so I always rely on Him. 
                  [October 15, 1998 Thurs. God’s Event]

F. Report Whether Things Succeed or Fail
You must not report only when things go well and not report when things don’t turn out well. You must report when things don’t turn out well as well as when things turn out well. Even a glance from me can make things turn out well, so how much better would it be if I prayed for you directly? There are many of these things and those things. You can’t neglect them. If you neglect them, then darkness will attack and Satan will attack. Even if it’s done slightly, if I hit it with a fist, I do it with the mentality strong enough to break a rock to pieces and that is why God gave me this job. Otherwise, would He give me this job?
