Let us Pray for the Saints to Grasp Every Opportunity to Speak the Word

And He said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all the creation. Mark 16:15

Amen, saints, let us pray for the saints to grasp every opportunity to speak the Word! Pray that the saints would grasp every opportunity to speak the Word in their daily life to all kinds of people and also in the meetings (Mark 16:15; Acts 8:4; 1 Cor. 14:31; Col. 3:16; 2 Tim. 4:2).

In order to enrich and enliven our meeting, we must learn how to speak the word of the Lord in the Scriptures. We must learn to speak and not just read the word. We must also learn to have a corporate speaking of the word in our meetings. This practice is new among the Lord’s children. Everyone in the meeting should exercise his spirit and pay much attention to speaking and listening. When one speaks, the others should listen. When we have the speaking that utters and releases the holy word, the riches of God’s word will be prevailing to touch all the attendants. We must practice this…

When I talk to the saints about the matter of speaking, some tell me that it is not the right time for them to speak. According to their realization, no time is the right time for us to speak. But we have much time to talk on the telephone. It seems that every hour is available for gossip, but no time is available for speaking Christ. This is why Paul charged Timothy to speak the word of God in season and out of season (2 Tim. 4:2). Whether the time is the right time or the “wrong time” for us to speak, we still have to speak. In season or out of season, we have to speak. Our obligation is to speak forth Christ. To speak Christ is never wrong.
