The divine life we have received through regeneration is very real and practical. In the first Epistle of John we see that life was manifested and we have seen and testify and report concerning it (1 John 1:1-3). And this life is a fellowship, a flow, something moving and growing and expanding. If we sin, […]

Experiencing the God of Resurrection and Having the Mending Ministry of Life
What God needs today in the church life is more ministers of life, persons who know Him as the God of resurrection and minister Him as the God of resurrection into others. We need to see the difference between merely having a “gift” and having the ministry of life. What is needed for the building […]

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 […]

Lord, please give me the experiences that I need that will produce this ministry!
In praying this we don’t want to be presumptious or greedy for some sort of a high position in the church, but rather we utter this deep prayer as the Lord enlightens us and inspires us for His building. For the church to be built up and for the building up of the Body of […]

taking the lead to minister life by flowing out the divine life into others
As the sheep in the Lord’s flock, being the same as all the other believers in Christ, we want to learn to take the lead to love the Lord with the first love, to experience life, and to minister life. We need to present ourselves to the Lord personally that we would become a particular […]

The Flow of Life with the Ministry of Life out of and for the Magnificent House of God (2)
The ministry of life involves feeding, which is a supply for living. Paul told the Corinthians “I gave you milk to drink” (v. 3:2). Had they been mature enough to receive it, he would have given them solid food. This ministry is nourishment, not knowledge. We are ministers “not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life” (2 Cor. 3:6). The Spirit nourishes. This nourishment comes from healthy words (1 Tim. 6:3) which are according to godliness, a life lived one with Christ to express God (1 Tim. 3:16).

After we have been measured and possessed by the Lord, then the river causes everything to live and even heals the waters of the Dead Sea (47:8-10, 12). What an abundance of life flows out—living creatures swarming, very many fish, and trees that bring forth new fruit every month! “Everything shall live wherever the river comes!”
