When Christ is ministered to us, we become children of God who have eternal life, partake of the fellowship of life by abiding in the Lord and walking in the light; we are taught by the anointing; we enjoy the virtues of the divine birth with the divine seed to be the testimony of Jesus, the harvest with the firstfruits, and the bride of the Lamb!
What a glorious destiny we have as we remain under the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity, the dispensing of the Triune God into the tripartite man!
Amen, Lord Jesus, keep us open to Your divine dispensing today. Thank You for being in us as the anointing, teaching us all things by inwardly anointing us with God. We want to heed the inner anointing to abide in the Lord. Keep us abiding in You. May we know You in an intimate way by abiding in You! Hallelujah, we have the divine virtues of the divine birth with the divine seed and we can be the testimony of Jesus today! Amen, Lord, make us the lampstands as the expression of the Triune God, even the harvest with the firstfruits, and the bride of the Lamb, the New Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Wow, what a wonderful result of the Triune God’s dispensing as seen in the ministry of John! John’s writings unveil the Divine Trinity dispensing Himself into us in the divine move and in our experience.
The Father is embodied in the Son and the Son is realised as the Spirit to dispense all that the Triune God is and has into us. If we just love the Lord, He manifests Himself to us, He comes to make an abode with us, and the Father and the Son dispense all that the Triune God is and has into us.
Thank the Lord that there’s a divine transmission of the Divine Trinity to the believers, as seen in John 16, and we can be daily under this transmission by opening to the Lord.
May we see the Christ ministered by John for the dispensing of the Triune God as life into our tripartite being.
He is God as the source of life, the eternal Logos to define and express God, the only begotten Son of God to declare God, the eternal life for His dispensing, and the Giver of the Spirit reaching us for God’s dispensing.
Christ is the Son of Man with human nature to redeem us, and He is the Lamb of God to dispense Himself into us.
Christ is our Advocate with the Father, and He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and the beginning of the creation of God.
Christ is the living One, the Holy One and the true One, the Amen, and the faithful and true Witness. What a Christ we have! Amen!
Being Taught by the Anointing, Enjoy the Virtues of the Divine Birth, and become the Testimony of Jesus under God’s Dispensing Consummating in the New Jerusalem
When Christ is ministered to us, we become children of God having the eternal life (John 3:16), and we partake of the fellowship of life by abiding in the Lord and walking in the light (1 John 1:3-7; 2:6).
As we enjoy the fellowship of the eternal life in our daily living by abiding in the Lord and walking in the light, we are spontaneously under the teaching of the divine anointing (1 John 2:20, 27).
We do not need anyone to teach us: we know all things inwardly because we have the anointing, which teaches us all things.
The anointing which we have received from God abides in us; His anointing teaches us concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, so we abide in the Lord.
We as children of God are brought forth to be taught by the divine anointing. The anointing is a compound ointment, like an oil that “oils us” to properly function and live the Christian life.
Many machines today need to be oiled; otherwise, they don’t run smoothly; instead of being smooth, they make a lot of noise.
Sometimes we believers in Christ do not live and behave in a smooth way; we make a certain noise to our wife or husband, or to the saints or our neighbours. We need more anointing. We need to get oiled!
We have the anointing in our spirit, anointing us all the time. This is for life dispensing. The anointing dispenses the Triune God as life into our tripartite being. Hallelujah!
Lord Jesus, we want to heed the inner anointing as it teaches us all things! Hallelujah, Christ is in us as the Spirit to anoint us and dispense all the riches of Christ into our being. Amen, Lord, how much we need to be oiled with the Spirit, the anointing! Praise the Lord, we have the source of oil within us because the anointing is within us. Amen, Lord, anoint us and teach us by oiling us with the riches of the Triune God in Christ! We open to Your inner teaching in all things. We open to Your inner regulating. Dispense more of God as life into our being!
1 John 3:9 speaks of us having the divine seed; we were begotten not only of our parents but also of God, and we have the divine seed in us. This divine seed is God’s eternal life.
By the virtues of this birth and seed, we can live in a particular way, speak in a certain way, and express the Lord.
Because of the virtues of the divine seed, we can practice the divine righteousness (2:29), we can practice the divine love (4:7; 5:1), and we can overcome the world, death, sin, the devil, and idols (vv. 4, 16-21).
There is a divine energy in us, a life energy, which energises us to overcome all the negative things.
We have an energising life in us, which is the dispensing of life, which enables us to overcome the enemy, overcome all evil things, and also love the saints and practice the divine righteousness.
When we exercise our spirit and touch the Lord in spirit, we are under the dispensing of life, and we can express God and overcome anything that is negative.
The only way we can overcome the world, death, sin, the devil, and idols is by the energising life being dispensed into us and being expressed through us.
Lord Jesus, thank You for regenerating us with a divine seed, the eternal life of God! Hallelujah, by the virtues of this birth and seed we can practice the divine righteousness! Praise the Lord, by virtue of the divine seed in our spirit, we can overcome the world, death, sin, the devil, and idols! Amen, Lord, keep us under the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity in our daily life. Keep us enjoying the energising life of God being dispensed into us for us to overcome, love others, and practice the divine righteousness! Amen!
As we live a Christian life and church life under the divine dispensing, we become the church, the lampstands as the expression of the Triune God (Rev. 1:9-12, 20) and the harvest with the firstfruits as the expression of life (Rev. 14:1-5, 15-16).
We grow in life, we ripen, and we become either the firstfruits or the harvest in God’s farm for God’s satisfaction.
As we remain under the divine dispensing, enjoying the riches of God’s life, we arrive at maturity in life to be something in life for God’s satisfaction. As seen in John 3:29-30, we become the bride of the Lamb as His increase and satisfaction (Rev. 19:7-9).
He is the Bridegroom, and we are His bride, His increase. We are making ourselves ready for the marriage of the Lamb, for His satisfaction.
Eventually, there will be the ultimate consummation of the dispensing of the Triune God into man – the New Jerusalem, the holy city, the tabernacle of God, the bride, and the wife of the Lamb (Rev. 21:2-3, 9).
This is the consummate expression of the Triune God. The New Jerusalem is built with God the Father’s nature (signified by the gold), God the Son’s overcoming death and life-imparting resurrection (signified by the pearls), and God the Spirit’s work of transformation (signified by the precious stones (vv. 11, 18-21).
We are becoming the New Jerusalem, the consummate expression of the Triune God, and even in and as the New Jerusalem, we will remain under the continual, normal, daily, and eternal divine dispensing!
For eternity we will enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity into us, for we will drink the river of water of life (signifying the Spirit) flowing from the throne of God the Father and the Lamb, and we will eat the tree of life (signifying Christ the Son) for our nourishment. Hallelujah!
The redeeming God is on the throne, and from Him flows a river of water of life, the Spirit; on both sides of the river there is the tree of life, nourishing God’s people for eternity (Rev. 22:1-2, 14, 17). Praise the Lord!
This flowing is the dispensing of the Triune God into us, His chosen people, as life and life supply in fullness for eternity.
Eventually, the Triune God united, mingled, and incorporated with His redeemed, regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite people, will become the New Jerusalem as the ultimate consummation of the dispensing of the Triune God into man (21:2-3, 9-10, 22-23; 22:1-2).
This is how God gains His corporate expression and manifestation: by means of His divine dispensing!
Lord Jesus, keep us enjoying the continual, fine, gentle, divine dispensing day by day until we become the church as the Body of Christ! Amen, Lord, as we remain under Your dispensing, we become the golden lampstands for the expression of the Triune God! Praise the Lord, we will become the harvest with the firstfruits as the expression of life! Hallelujah, we will become the bride of the Lamb as His increase and satisfaction! Wow, Lord, how we praise You that, for eternity, we will be the wife of the Lamb, the New Jerusalem, spending our whole eternity drinking the river of water of life and eating the tree of life under God’s dispensing! Amen, Lord, may we eat You as the tree of life today and drink the river of water of life, the flowing Spirit, as we live our Christian life and church life! Amen!
Having a Hunger for the Lord and being Open to His Divine Dispensing for Him to make us Divine and to Obtain His Corporate Expression
Even though the phrase “the divine dispensing” is not in the Bible, the principle is seen from Genesis to Revelation, and in particular in the writings of John, we see how the Triune God dispenses Himself in His Divine Trinity into us as life for Him to obtain a corporate expression of Himself.
May the Lord grant us a sober-mindedness in our Christian life so that we may realise the importance of the divine dispensing and be open to the Lord to be under His dispensing day by day.
Given the background of the chaotic world situation today, which is affecting all people, especially the young people, in so many ways, may we cooperate wth the Lord.
May we cooperate with the Lord to accomplish His heart’s desire, to bring in His kingdom, to build the church as the Body of Christ, and to bring in a new age.
This is what the Lord desires to do; for Him to accomplish this, He has to work Himself into us. He needs our cooperation. We simply need to give ourselves to the Lord to be under His divine dispensing.
We need to even consecrate ourselves to be under the divine dispensing day by day.
Our Christian life and our ministry to the Lord in the church is not about trying to be better and do something for God outwardly; it is not any improvement or doing outward things.
God is not after the improvement of our character; He wants to work Christ into our being so that we may actually become divine.
Can you imagine this? He wants to dispense Himself into us little by little, day by day, until we live Christ and we are like Christ, for Christ lives in us!
God wants to intrinsically work Himself into us to make His home in our hearts as He dispenses Himself into us so that He may obtain a corporate expression of Himself.
For this, the divine dispensing is crucial. Yes, He redeemed us as the Lamb of God and made propitiation for us; what is this for? This is for the divine dispensing.
As we go through all kinds of things, even complicated things and painful situations, may we look to the Lord in the way of His dispensing.
May we give ourselves to Him to be hungry for Him and be open to His divine dispensing so that He may make us divine, the same as He is, for the corporate expression of the Triune God!
Lord Jesus, gain us more! Gain more ground in us. We open to You. Work Yourself into us. We simply open to Your divine dispensing. We want to be under Your dispensing today. Thank You that we can come to You as we are, simply to be open vessels for You to dispense Yourself into us. Amen, Lord, in all our situations, in all circumstances, and in all things, we just want to be under Your dispensing. Even as the outer man is consumed, may the inner man be renewed by the divine dispensing of the Triune God into our tripartite being! Do it, Lord! Make us divine as You are, and gain Your corporate expression in us and among us by means of Your divine dispensing! Amen!

– So shall we not delight to give / Ourselves in every way, / And let the Lord dispense Himself / Into us more each day; / The grace that we receive each day, / Though hidden oft, and small, / Is God Himself wrought into us, / That day to shine o’er all. (Hymns #1321 stanza 6)
– God has worked in three directions / For His plan so marvelous: / As the Father, Son, and Spirit / To dispense Himself to us! / All creation gives the setting— / Heav’n and earth are for this plan; / ’Tis for this God made a body, / Soul and spirit—three-part man. / As the center, as the kernel, / Of God’s plan our spirit is; / Calling on the name of Jesus / Makes our spirit one with His. / From the center to circumference / God would saturate each part; / Feeling, mind, and will renewing, / Making home in all our heart. (Hymns #1325 stanzas 3-4)
– Behold the New Jerusalem descends from God. / The Triune God Himself in His intrinsic essence / Now consummately dwells in us and we in Him. / Behold the New Jerusalem descends from God. / Illumined by the light of life we walk the way— / Of life, and eat the tree of life and drink the river. / And thus enjoying God fore’er, we’re one with Him, / As the very processed Triune God dispenses Himself to us. (Hymns #1348)
