A genuine man of prayer – a genuine Christian – is not only one who spends time with the Lord every day, but also one who allows the Lord to mingle His desire and His thought with his own. We need to allow God to infuse us with Himself, to mingle Himself with us, in […]

we were seated with Christ in the heavenlies – we can live a heavenly life on earth!
This morning I enjoyed being reminded what our position is in our salvation – when we were saved, we not only received the divine life into us, but we also were raised together with Christ (Col. 3:1-2) and seated with Him in the heavenlies (Eph. 2:5-6)! Actually, even “when we were dead in offenses, God made […]

Christ as our High Priest cares for us in love, but He especially cares for God’s need
In the Old Testament, the High Priest had the names of the tribes of Israel inscribed on the two onyx stones on his shoulders and also on the twelve stones set in the golden breastplate he wore (Exo. 28:9-12). Whenever he went into the Holy of Holies, he brought the people of Israel to God, […]

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 […]

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! […]

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 […]
