The Church is an Organism, so we all are being Perfected to Function in the Body

February 6, 2018 by aGodMan 10 Comments

Eph. 4:11-16 v. 11 And He Himself gave some as apostles and some as prophets and some as evangelists and some as shepherds and teachers, v. 12 For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ, v. 13 Until we all arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, v. 14 That we may be no longer little children tossed by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching in the sleight of men, in craftiness with a view to a system of error, v. 15 But holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ, v. 16 Out from whom all the Body, being joined together and being knit together through every joint of the rich supply and through the operation in the measure of each one part, causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.

The practice of the God-ordained way to meet and serve comes out of our seeing that the church is an organism as a mingling of God and man, produced by the Triune God in his Divine Trinity. We thank and praise the Lord for showing us the light and revelation regarding the scriptural way to […]

Crucial Points of the Scriptural Way to Meet for the Building up of the Body of Christ

February 5, 2018 by aGodMan 3 Comments

We must teach and perfect the saints through the vital group meetings unto the New Testament work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ (Heb. 10:24-25; Eph. 4:11-12). In the vital group meetings the believers need to have mutual fellowship and intercession, mutual care and shepherding, mutual teaching and studying of the truth, and mutual instruction in the pursuit of the growth in the spiritual life, for the promotion of the preaching of the gospel, the care for the new ones, the conducting of the group meetings, and all other kinds of service in the church life. The vital group meetings are the main part of the life and service of the church. The Genuine Church Life (2017 Thanksgiving Conference), outline 5

We need to see and practice the crucial points concerning the light and revelation that we have received from the Lord regarding the scriptural way to meet and to serve for the building up of the Body of Christ. This week in our deeper study of what is the Genuine Church Life according to the […]

We need to be Priestly Teachers Saturated with God and Skillful in the Word of God

December 6, 2017 by aGodMan 11 Comments

2 Tim. 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

In the recovery and rebuilding of the temple and the city God raised up Ezra, a priestly scribe, to strengthen and enrich His recovery. Today the Lord needs many like Ezra who are priestly teachers contacting God knowing God’s word, being saturated with God, and being skillful in God’s word to teach and minister God […]

Ministers of Life are Begetters, Feeders, and Builders for the Building of the Church

October 28, 2017 by aGodMan 1 Comment

1 Cor. 4:15 ...In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

If we truly and genuinely drink the flow of living water and are in the flow of the river of water of life, we are ministers of life as sowers, planters, waterers, begetters, feeders, and builders with the ministry of life for God’s building. Our enjoyment of Christ as the flow of life is for […]

The Work of the Holy Spirit can be Revealed at the Time of Ministering to the Lord

October 19, 2017 by aGodMan 9 Comments

To minister to the Lord is not to forsake all the work on the outside. To minister to the Lord is not to give up serving in the villages. What I say is that all the work on the outside should be based on our ministry to the Lord. We go forth, out from our ministry to the Lord, rather than out from our own desires, which have no basis in the ministry to the Lord. There is a vast difference between these two matters. Watchman Nee

The unique principle for the work in the New Testament is that the work of the Holy Spirit can be revealed only at the time of ministering to the Lord. We see this in Acts 13:1-2, where there were some brothers in the church in Antioch who were ministering to the Lord and fasting, and […]

Ministering to the Lord by Giving Him the First Place and by Focusing only on Him

October 16, 2017 by aGodMan 10 Comments

Are we really ministering to the believers or to Him? Is the focus of our work really on the work or on the Lord? There is a great difference. Ministering to the house is extremely different from ministering to Jesus Christ. We can see many today ministering and serving, but they are only in the outer court. They have not come near to the table...The ministering that the Lord is after—the ministering that He is continually after—is to minister to Him. His desire is not for us to do His work. Laboring is certainly important, plowing the fields is important, and feeding the cattle is also important, but the Lord does not look at these things. Rather, He is after the ministering to God and the serving of God. He wants His slaves to minister to Him and to serve Him. Oh, how happy are those who are able to minister to Him. Watchman Nee, Ministering to the House or to God?

This week in our morning revival time with the Lord we come to the matters of Ministering to the Lord to enjoy Him as the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of life. We need to be those who minister not just to the house of God but minister to the Lord. We […]

Tests of our Service to God, Bearing Responsibility, and being Faithful in Service

August 5, 2017 by aGodMan 2 Comments

1 Cor. 4:1-2 A man should account us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful.

As those who are learning to serve God by letting God initiate and we cooperate, we need to see what are the signs of service from man and service from God, what are some tests of our service for God, and how we need to bear responsibility and be absolutely faithful in service to God. […]
