The Work of the Holy Spirit can be Revealed at the Time of Ministering to the Lord

October 19, 2017 by aGodMan 9 Comments

To minister to the Lord is not to forsake all the work on the outside. To minister to the Lord is not to give up serving in the villages. What I say is that all the work on the outside should be based on our ministry to the Lord. We go forth, out from our ministry to the Lord, rather than out from our own desires, which have no basis in the ministry to the Lord. There is a vast difference between these two matters. Watchman Nee

The unique principle for the work in the New Testament is that the work of the Holy Spirit can be revealed only at the time of ministering to the Lord. We see this in Acts 13:1-2, where there were some brothers in the church in Antioch who were ministering to the Lord and fasting, and […]

Ministering to the Lord by Giving Him the First Place and by Focusing only on Him

October 16, 2017 by aGodMan 10 Comments

Are we really ministering to the believers or to Him? Is the focus of our work really on the work or on the Lord? There is a great difference. Ministering to the house is extremely different from ministering to Jesus Christ. We can see many today ministering and serving, but they are only in the outer court. They have not come near to the table...The ministering that the Lord is after—the ministering that He is continually after—is to minister to Him. His desire is not for us to do His work. Laboring is certainly important, plowing the fields is important, and feeding the cattle is also important, but the Lord does not look at these things. Rather, He is after the ministering to God and the serving of God. He wants His slaves to minister to Him and to serve Him. Oh, how happy are those who are able to minister to Him. Watchman Nee, Ministering to the House or to God?

This week in our morning revival time with the Lord we come to the matters of Ministering to the Lord to enjoy Him as the hidden manna, the budding rod, and the law of life. We need to be those who minister not just to the house of God but minister to the Lord. We […]

Tests of our Service to God, Bearing Responsibility, and being Faithful in Service

August 5, 2017 by aGodMan 2 Comments

1 Cor. 4:1-2 A man should account us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Here, furthermore, it is sought in stewards that one be found faithful.

As those who are learning to serve God by letting God initiate and we cooperate, we need to see what are the signs of service from man and service from God, what are some tests of our service for God, and how we need to bear responsibility and be absolutely faithful in service to God. […]

God’s Work needs Man’s Cooperation, not his Initiation, Opinions, and Suggestions

August 4, 2017 by aGodMan 9 Comments

Once a person has the heart to serve the Lord and becomes zealous, his opinions come out. At such a time, God will hide Himself and withdraw His will. Everything we initiate will be interrupted by God. In the matter of serving God, we must stop ourselves in order to give God the absolute opportunity to speak. This requires our exercise. Witness Lee, Knowing Life and the Church, ch. 17

According to what the Bible tells us concerning our service to God, God’s work needs man’s cooperation, but it doesn’t require man’s initiation; God wants us to serve Him and love Him, but He doesn’t need us to initiate things in God’s work. Both in the Old and in the New Testament we see many […]

Loving God, Stopping ourselves, and Waiting on Him to Cooperate with God in Serving Him

August 3, 2017 by aGodMan 10 Comments

2 Sam. 7:5, 11-13 Go and say to My servant David, Thus says Jehovah, Is it you who will build Me a house for Me to dwell in?....Jehovah declares to you that Jehovah will make you a house....I will raise up your seed after you....It is he who will build a house for My name...

After reading the story of David desiring to build God a house in 2 Sam. 7 we realize that God doesn’t want our initiation but only our cooperation; He wants us to cooperate with Him. God doesn’t need us to do anything for Him – He simply wants us to stop our opinions and ideas […]

We need to Serve God according to God’s Appearing, His Command, and His Instructions

August 2, 2017 by aGodMan 6 Comments

Gen. 12:1, 7 Now Jehovah said to Abram, Go from your land And from your relatives And from your father's house To the land that I will show you....And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, To your seed I will give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.

As believers in Christ we love the Lord and desire to serve Him, but we need to realize that our service has to be according to God’s appearing and command, following His instructions according to the pattern He shows us. Noah didn’t serve God out of his own zeal or opinions; he served God according […]

We need to Serve God according to His Revelation, by Faith, in Response to His Word

August 1, 2017 by aGodMan 10 Comments

Heb. 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying to his gifts; and through faith, though he has died, he still speaks.

Ever since the second generation of man with Cain and Abel, man tried to serve God; Abel offered sacrifices by faith according to God’s revelation in response to His word and according to His way, while Cain served God from himself according to his own will and opinion. Man was created by God in His […]
