Every believer in Christ is “a little New Jerusalem” and every local church should be “a miniature of the New Jerusalem”. Our life and work as believers today should be to work out and live out the New Jerusalem, since this holy city is what God desires to obtain and works throughout the ages to […]
Being Renewed Day-by-Day and Being Constituted with Christ for the NEW Jerusalem
Experiencing God as the God of Isaac (receive & enjoy) and the God of Jacob (dealings)
In order to be in reality the Israel of God, we need to experience God as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. It is not enough for us to know and experience God as our Father, our source; we need to go on and experience Him by enjoying […]
The Need to be Constituted with God to Have the Ministry of Life for the Body
This week in our study we come to the topic, Ministry of Life. In Christianity today there are many “ministries”, and as soon as someone feels he has a ministry from the Lord, he goes ahead and does his best to carry it out, many times resulting in creating yet another division in the Body […]
the desire of God’s heart is set on Zion with Christ – will you be an overcomer?
The key to becoming an overcomer is to give the Lord the preeminence, the first and best love!

students testimony – visiting Europe, bring the Lord to our friends, and the gospel!
Here and there, once in a while some saints / students come and visit us in Europe – though we never met them, or maybe we heard of them through other saints, there’s such a sweet fellowship and blending when they come! We are one in the same divine life in us, and we can […]
We abide in Christ as the vine, we are rooted in Him as the soil, and we take Christ as the Head!
The Word of God is so rich, so full of illustrations and examples of our organic union with the Lord, and also it is so encouraging! This morning I especially enjoyed these three aspects concerning our relationship with the Lord: In John 15 we see that we are branches in Christ the vine – we […]
