Let us pray for the saints to proclaim and live out the glad tidings of the gospel

The Lord gives the command; / The women who bear the glad tidings are a great host. Psa. 68:11

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would proclaim the glad tidings of the gospel, the good news that the world needs today, and that they would also live the gospel, becoming a pattern of the glad tidings that they spread (Psa. 68:11 and notes 11-1 and 11-2; Isa. 40:9; 1 Thes. 1:5 and note 5-1).

[Psalm 68:11 says,] “The Lord gives the command; / The women who bear the glad tidings are a great host.” The Lord gives the news; the women bear the glad tidings. The men are the strong ones; the women are the weaker vessels (1 Pet. 3:7). In appearance you may be a man, in name you may be a man, but in reality we are all women; we are all weaker ones. All the bearers of the glad tidings are not the strong but the weak. To accomplish a work, you need strong ones, but to bear the glad tidings you do not need strong ones. We all must bear the glad tidings. We cannot do anything, but we can bear the glad tidings—we can tell people that Christ is Victor, that Christ has ascended and led captive a train of vanquished foes! Hallelujah! We cannot send Christ to the heavens, but we can bear the glad tidings. I am utterly weak; in reality I am just a woman—but I can do something, I can bear the glad tidings. Psalm 68:17 says, “The kings of the armies flee. / They flee!” These are the tidings. The enemy is defeated! (Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1969, vol. 1, “How to Meet,” ch. 14, p. 220)
