Being Faithful in Service to God by Exercising our Spiritual Gift in Resurrection

In Matt. 25:14-30 the Lord likened Himself to a man going abroad and delivering His possessions to His slaves; we as the Lord’s slaves were entrusted with His possessions, we were given a gift according to our own ability, and we need to use our gift in our service to the Lord, being faithful in […]

being an inoculator by teaching and ministering the riches of God’s economy

We all need to shepherd the saints with the teaching of God’s economy (see Eph. 4:11 and 1 Tim. 3:2, 4:11-16). How do we shepherd the saints? It is mainly by dispensing the divine life in the humanity of Jesus to cherish them (to make them happy, comfortable, and open) and by teaching them the divine truths in the divinity of Christ to nourish them (Eph. 5:29). The Lord Jesus was a pattern for us in this by denying His natural human life and living by the divine life in resurrection – He was charming and attracting people in His humanity, and He fed them in His divinity with the words of God!

the real gospel preaching is the speaking of the truth (see: blood and water, the double cure!)

Our daily and continual constitution with the truth and learning the truth by reading the Bible, enjoying the footnotes, reading the life-studies and the ministry books, etc will put a rich deposit of the divine truths into our being. Then, when we open our mouth to speak, we will tell others concerning the Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Spirit – who is dispensing Himself into us – sinful, tripartite men – so that our sins may be forgiven and that we may receive God’s life and become sons of God who are being transformed to be the same as Christ is! Praise the Lord! [continue reading this portion online]

What is truth? We need to know what truth is and what is the reality in this universe

Today we are so fortunate and privileged to be under the ministry of the age, which has inherited all the truths recovered and uncovered in the Bible throughout the ages. When it comes to “cutting straight the word of the truth”, it is not MY portion to do so, but what we can do is enjoy the Word, enjoy the opening of the Word, and re-speak the truth! O, that the truth may be constituted into us and become part of us, even our reality, to make us real!

we are commissioned to preach the high gospel, the entire truth revealed in the Word of God

No matter how modern, cool, or amazing things people have or invent – the advance of the technology and entertainment in the world today has not filled the emptiness within man; rather, it has enlarged it, since they try to be filled and happy with so many things when only One Thing satisfies – God Himself! Only the high truths in the Lord’s recovery can match the need of today’s hunger in the world – people are fed up with the low feel-good gospel in the Christianity.

Life is the way to fulfill God’s purpose; the Lord’s recovery is a recovery of truth and life

If we lose the truth and life in the Word of God we lose everything, and all is left is what Christianity has in general today: human organization, methods, good teachings, outward things, a social gathering, and a feel-good gospel. But we need to see that today the Lord’s recovery is a recovery of the truth and life! This is what the Lord desires – He wants the church to know Him as truth and receive Him as life! The content of the church should be the increase and the growth of Christ in us as truth and life.

we need to be constituted with the truth and have the solid truth deposited into our being

If all we receive when we read the Bible is inspiration, this is like a vapor – it doesn’t stay for long. But if we dig into the Word and study the Word and the ministry which opens up the Word, committing the truths to our memory and even understanding them in the divine light, the truth in the Word of God becomes the solid truth in our being. If we don’t understand the truths in the Bible, they can’t get into us. The truth gets into our being through our mentality, our understanding, and it becomes a constant and long-term nourishment for our whole life!
