A Man of Prayer Waits Constantly Before God and Intercedes for What’s on His Heart

In Gen. 18 we see how God came to visit His friend Abraham in a human form, and He spent some time with him to eat together and converse together. Abraham was one who was dealt with by the Lord and he learned the lesson of not being hasty to ask God for things or […]

The Intrinsic Element of Our Work is to Minister God Into Others for the Body

We have seen that there’s a governing vision of the Bible, which is that God desires to work Himself into His chosen people to make them His corporate expression. Today we are on the matter of our work for God, our Christian work. What is the intrinsic element of our Christian work? Is it just to do […]

dealing with the obstacles to God’s life in us by taking care of the living Christ

The Christian life is altogether related to the living Christ in us, and the only thing that matters in our Christian life is how we take care of the living Christ in us. Christ is revealed in us (Gal. 1:16), Christ lives in us (Gal. 2:20), Christ is being formed in us (Gal. 4:19), for […]

The Heart of the Divine Revelation – an overview of the four focal books

all things work together for good to those who love God – give yourself to love the Lord!

I was recently encouraged by Romans 8:28 which says: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” This is a wonderful verse placed in a critical chapter in the Bible. It is critical because it is concerning our destiny! […]

being vital takes time; we need the endurance of hope that we may go on daily

Even though Paul was in prison, he still labored and struggled for all the believers whom he brought to the Lord or shepherded while he visited their respective city. In Col. 2:1 he says For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those in Laodicea, even all […]
