our work is actually our living, and we live to magnify Christ!

These days, whenever someone speaks about working for the Lord, everyone thinks of a great work, something he does in a special way in a special time set apart for this, etc. The phrase “working for the Lord” has been so spoiled from what the Bible says about it. Paul says in Phil. 1:22, But […]

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 […]

God’s heart’s desire and His eternal purpose, His economy, are related to man!

From eternity past to eternity future, God was, is, and will be. He simply exists: He existed even before time began! But at one point there was a council in the divine Trinity – The Triune God took a decision, He had a counsel – He wants a corporate expression in this universe (Gen 1:26)! For this, […]

the new worship that the Father needs in the new age of the New Testament

I just realized this morning that in John 4:23 the Lord Jesus says “But an hour is coming, and it is now…” – this shows that there was a change of the age! In the past/our religious way, it used to be different, BUT now, the true worshippers worship God in spirit and in truthfulness! […]

worshipping God in the dispensing of the Triune God!

January 7, 2010 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

God wants us to worship Him, and as we saw previously, to worship God according to His desire is to eat Him and to drink Him. In the writings of Paul we see some examples of such proper worship to God, like Eph 3:14-17, For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, of […]

the real worship of God is to eat Him and drink Him in our spirit

Recently I have been very impressed with God’s desire and seeking for worshippers – those who worship Him in spirit and in truthfulness. God wants us to worship Him, yet nowhere in the Bible we are told that we need to prostrate ourselves before Him and bow down/kneel down to worship Him. Rather, both the […]

just as in Paul’s case, it should matter to the church whether we live or die

December 19, 2009 by aGodMan 1 Comment

Paul was a normal Christian: one who lived Christ, magnified Christ, ministered Christ, and infused Christ into others. Whether he was travelling and preaching the gospel/strengthening the saints/the churches, or whether he was in prison: he simply magnified the Lord Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:20)! In all he did/said the others saw Christ living in him […]
