![Seeing the Urgency of Growth in Life Unto Maturity for God to Gain His Army [In the Picture: The more we pray at the incense altar, the more we will prealize that the need for maturity is desperate, adn the greater will be the urgency to pray for the growth in life unto maturity.]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/pray-incense-altar-we-need-maturity.jpg?fit=300%2C197&ssl=1)
I am still pondering over Exodus 30, where God gives precise instructions on how to make the incense golden altar, and then immediately after that there’s the numbering of the people of Israel. This shows that the intercessory prayer at the incense altar issues in the numbering of God’s people that they would form an army to […]
Not Hindering God Anymore but Being Fully Responsive to Him for Him to Work
January 28, 2013 by 10 Comments
![We need the Lord to shine on us both individually and corporately as the church that we may see, in His light, what He can do AND what we can hinder Him from doing. [In the picture: The Lord must bring us to a place of utter responsiveness to Himself so that He can have a free and unhindered way to do whatever He wants to do, Watchman Nee]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/a-place-of-utter-responsiveness-to-god-unhindered-way.jpg?fit=300%2C199&ssl=1)
I am impressed and humbled to see how much God is limited to man’s cooperation. God is omnipotent and He can do everything He wants, but His omnipotence is limited because His church on earth does not release His power and His will. God needs to have certain conditions suitable for His working, and then […]

In Eph. 4:13 we read, “Until we all arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” This implies that today in the church life we are on a journey – we […]
Being Perfected to Grow in Life and to Function for the Building up of the Body
January 1, 2013 by 7 Comments
Many Christians say, It is the Apostles, the Prophets, the Evangelists, the Shepherds, and the Teachers spoken of in Eph. 4:11 that build up the Body of Christ. I am not qualified, and I don’t know how to do it – that’s why they are special gifts, and they build up the Body, and we […]
We Become God’s Fellow Workers by Growing in Life and by Being Transformed
December 13, 2012 by 1 Comment
![Lord, how do YOU want me to work for You and with You? Lord, what does it mean that we are plants in God's farm and precious materials in God's building? Unveil us to see the intrinsic significance of these things and how they are practically related to us. [in the picture: 1 Cor. 3:12, taking heed on how we build!]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/1cor3-12-build-upon-foundation-gold-silver-precious-stones.jpg?fit=300%2C168&ssl=1)
All the believers in Christ have the privilege to be God’s fellow workers, those who work the work of the Lord (see 1 Cor. 16:10) and even abound in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58). The way to do this is not by seeing the need to do something for God and going […]
Christ will return to smash the human government and bring in God’s kingdom
August 18, 2012 by 4 Comments
When the Body of Christ is built up sufficiently, the Bride of Christ is prepared for the Lord’s return, and He will come to rapture His overcoming ones. After the overcomers are raptured, there will be the 1000 years wedding feast with the Bridegroom and the Bride. After the wedding feast, the Bridegroom and the […]
knowing the Body by dealing with our flesh, our self, and our individualism
June 19, 2012 by 3 Comments
All the believers in Christ are members of the Body of Christ by their spiritual birth in the life of God. But do we know the Body in reality? Is the Body of Christ something real to us in our experience? We may understand the concept of the Body of Christ, and we may mentally […]
