After seeing a governing and controlling vision: the vision of Christ, the vision of the church as the Body of Christ, the vision of the self, and the vision of the world, this week we come to the vision of consecration. We may think we know what consecration is, but we need to be open […]
Obeying God in Faith and Having a Crystal Clear Vision with the Divine Provision
May 14, 2014 by 1 Comment
Many people who read the story in Genesis 22 – the one about God requesting Abraham to bring his beloved son, Isaac, as a burnt offering – think that God is too much in asking this from Abraham, and Abraham was too strong in faith (something which they can never achieve) to trust God to […]
Our Enjoyment of Christ in the Church Life Produces us as a Burnt Offering for God

The God of Abraham is our God, and Abraham’s experience of God needs to become our experience of God in our Christian life today. According to Rom. 4:17, Abraham had a twofold knowledge of God: first, he knew God as the One who calls things not being as being, and then he experienced God as […]

God appeared to Abraham and called him out of his land and out of his house to a land that He would give to him and to his seed after him. If we read the record in the book of Genesis, we see that Abraham sojourned in the land of Canaan, having God’s appearing and […]
God’s Appearing Issues in our Consecration: our Life is for God and God is our Life

Abraham was a man just like us, not necessarily seeking God or being for God, until God appeared to him. When God appeared to Abraham, something changed in him: he left his homeland and his family, and he followed God’s instructions to go into the land of Canaan living a life of the altar and […]
