As believers in Christ who want to follow Him and serve Him, we need to be delivered from money so that, though we may gain spoils from the world, these would be used for the building up of the church and not for our worship of idols. Oh, Lord! The Gospels clearly show us how […]
Exercising to Live a Life of the Continual Burnt Offering for God’s Satisfaction
Today in our Christian life and in our church life there’s a need for the continual burnt offering, that is, there’s the need for a continual consecration, a continual offering ourselves to the Lord. The burnt offering is so significant and wonderful: the entire Divine Trinity is involved in the aspects of this offering, and […]
simple ways of loving the Lord with our first love by giving Him the first place
The church in Ephesus was a “good church” – it was an orderly and a formal church, but God had something against it, that it has left its first love toward the Lord (Rev. 2:4-5). We can be good Christians, church-going believers, and we may read the Bible regularly and claim we are Christians before […]
the basis, motive, meaning, purpose, and result of our consecration to God
We can cooperate with Christ in His heavenly ministry today – in the day of His warfare – by having an absolute and thorough consecration to the Lord.

Samuel was a man according to God’s heart, God’s mind was his consideration! (university training)
The central work of God is to work Himself into His chosen and redeemed people. In order for this to happen, He needs our consecration. To consecrate ourselves to the Lord is to consent to God’s working in and on us, to consent to God’s using us, and to consent to God’s directing our ways. […]
Knowing the Central thought of God and Living a life for the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose
I would like to share my enjoyment from the blending meeting that we attended for the past three days. Our God is a God of purpose. He selected us, He predestinated us, He redeemed us, He saved us and He is transforming us for His purpose. Now His purpose must become our purpose, and we must […]
