What we need today in the Lord’s recovery of the church life for the building up of the Body of Christ is priestly scribes, those who are both priests and teachers (scribes), those filled with Christ mingled with Christ, trusting in God, and skilled in the word of God. We need the Ezra’s of […]
We need to Hand ourselves over to God, Deal with Mammon, be Enlarged, and Live for God
As believers in Christ, we can serve either God or mammon; the matter of money needs to be settled, we need to hand ourselves over to God so that our heart is enlarged, we are broad, and we see things the way God sees them. As the Lord said in Matt. 6:24, we need […]
Our Work in Serving God is a Warfare, and Christ is our Unique Portion and Inheritance
The service of the priests was in nature a spiritual warfare, and the portion of the priests was nothing other than Christ – Christ was their house, inheritance, land, clothing, food, and everything. As believers in Christ we are priests to God; we are a holy priesthood, a royal priesthood, priests to God and to […]
The Law of the Meal Offering: Holy Priests Eat Christ with God in the Church life
In Lev. 6:14-23 we see the law of the meal offering, which actually corresponds to the law of the Spirit of life, showing us that in the enjoyment of Christ we should not be lawless but should be regulated by the law of life. The laws of the offerings are ordinances and regulations regarding our […]

All the Believers are Priests to Serve God with the Offerings that He Desires
The Lord Jesus redeemed us from our sins by His blood and made us a kingdom, priests to our God and Father (Rev. 1:6); the New Testament clearly tells us that all of God’s chosen people, all believers in Christ, are His priests (1 Pet. 2:5, 9; Rev. 5:10). As priests we need to have […]
Being Genuine Priests to God by Serving God and Ministering God into God’s People
![The bread and the wine [ministered by Melchizedek to Abraham] signify God as our enjoyment, God being ministered to us to refresh, sustain, support, strengthen, and nourish us that we may grow with all the riches of God. This is the primary task of a priest. In principle, we who serve God today are His priests. As priests, our main responsibility is to minister Him to people. (W. Lee, Life-Study of Hebrews)](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/The-bread-and-the-wine-ministered-by-Melchizedek-to-Abraham-signify-God-as-our-enjoyment.jpg?fit=300%2C225&ssl=1)
These days we have been enjoying the matter of being recovered by the Lord to be priests to God who live and function in a normal way for the building up of the church, the Body of Christ. Many believers love the Lord, read His word, and regularly attend the meetings of the church, but […]
