The Ministry in the Lord’s Recovery today is the Completing Ministry of Paul
Being Faithful to Pray for God’s Move and His Economy even in Face of Opposition
In Daniel 1-6 we see how Satan attacks, deceives, blinds, lures, and tries to put down some of the remnant of God’s people who still overcome even while in Babylon. Satan used Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the holy city and the holy temple, and it seemed like God’s expression on earth was wiped out. Yet God […]

Hear and see, forget and stretch forward to gain Christ now: the King will desire your beauty!
Psalm 45 is a psalm about Christ – praising Christ as the King. In this psalm we see a direct praise of Christ as the King and also an indirect praise of Christ by the psalmist praising the queen (the wife of the king), the daughters of the kings, and the sons of the king(the overcoming saints in the church). As a human being, a man needs a wife and children to be complete; in the same way, Christ is not a bachelor – He is the King with the queen and all the children! To praise Christ in a complete way, we must say something about Himself, about His queen, and about His children. Christ’s glory is seen in Christ Himself in the Gospels, in the church in the Epistles, and in the overcomers in Revelation. Praise the Lord for Christ, the church, and the overcoming saints!

Christ, the house of God, the city of God, and the earth: the main points of the book of Psalms!
It is so easy to read the Psalms and take them in an outward, natural way, for our comfort and our encouragement… but if we do this, we fail to see what the Psalms really reveal. In the Psalms there are four major words being developed and spoken of: Christ, the house, the city, and […]
the central thought of the book of Psalms is Christ and the church as the house and the city of God
Praise the Lord for the book of the Psalms! Just like most believers, I also love this book – every psalm brings me closer to God. It is so sweet to read psalms and love the Lord more, or at least to be ministered to in the situation or condition you’re in… According to our […]
