Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that their proclaiming of the gospel of God is their sowing of the seed of Christ into people to bring in the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15; 4:3 and notes 3-1, 3-2; 4:26 and note 26-3). The seed of the divine life (1 John 3:9; […]
The Church is in the Triune God – it is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
The church is in the Triune God – the church is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ, not only of God but also in an organic union with God! Hallelujah, what a fact! This week we come to another vital factor for the recovery of the church life entitled, The Factor […]
Let us pray for the saints to learn to know the different kinds of people in order to reach them
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would learn to know the different kinds of people, just as fishermen know the categories of fish, so that they will know what kind of “bait” they need to attract people to Christ (John 3:1-6; 4:5-7, 9-10, 14-15).

Let us pray for the saints to be vitalized personally and with companions so that they might “go fishing”
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would get vitalized personally and with a few co-laboring companions to the extent that they would “go fishing” to get some “new fish” (Dan. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:22).
