Our Natural Man needs to be Dealt with for us to have the Fellowship of the Body

February 2, 2018 by aGodMan 4 Comments

If we truly see the life of the Body, we will see that there is restriction in the house of God, and we will not move freely. At the same time, if we have the life of the Body, we will spontaneously fellowship with other children of God, and we will treasure this fellowship and not feel that it is a burden to us. If God’s children do not know the meaning of God’s house, they will not be able to fellowship with God’s other children. Whoever cannot honor the other brothers and cannot render them their due respect, praise, and position has not seen the house of God. If our natural life has been dealt with, and if we know what the life of the Body means, we will learn to treasure the other brothers and to touch life and receive help in the meetings. Watchman Nee

The Experience of the Cross bring us into a Deeper Fellowship in the Body of Christ

February 1, 2018 by aGodMan 11 Comments

Without the cross, our fellowship is superficial; only the cross can remove the many obstacles to the divine fellowship and deepen our fellowship with the Lord and with one another (Rom. 6:6; Gal. 2:20; Matt. 16:24). Fellowship frees us from our sinful self through the cross; without the cross, there is no release, freedom, or liberty from the self and no genuine fellowship (1 Cor. 1:9, 23-24; 2:2; Gal. 2:20). To bear the cross is to deny the self, to put the self to death, to apply the cross of Christ to the self all the time (Luke 9:23-25). The Genuine Church Life (2017 Thanksgiving Conference), outline 4

In order for us to deal with any obstacles to the fellowship, the circulation of the divine life, we need to experience the cross, for the experience of the cross deepens both the vertical and the horizontal fellowship, and it enables us to know the … [Continue reading]

God has called us into the fellowship of His Son so that we may partake of Christ, participate in Him, and enjoy Him as our God-given portion.

Treasuring Christ and Serving, Testifying, and Loving the Lord in the Church Life

January 27, 2018 by aGodMan 12 Comments

Phil. 3:7-9 ...What things were gains to me, these I have counted as loss on account of Christ....I also count all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as refuse that I may gain Christ and be found in Him...

In the church life we all have three main functions: serving, testifying, and loving; we serve the Lord, we testify of His resurrection life which we experience, and we love Him and pour out everything on Him. This is our experience and our … [Continue reading]

Having a Proper Concept of Value and Treasuring Christ above All Persons and Things

January 26, 2018 by aGodMan 10 Comments

Heb. 11:24-26 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be ill-treated with the people of God than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin, considering the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked away to the reward.

As believers in Christ we need to have a change in our concept of value to treasure Christ above all, for He is the preciousness to us. The reason we love the Lord and we love the church life so much that we are willing to offer everything we have … [Continue reading]
