Praise the Lord, the church life today has as its reality the kingdom of God, but by simply “being in the genuine church life” we may not necessarily be in the kingdom of God. We are in the kingdom in reality only when we live and walk by the spirit (Gal. 5:25). If we live, walk, behave, and have our being in ourselves as the old creation, we are not in reality in the kingdom of God even though outwardly we may be in the church life. Only when we live, walk, behave, and have our entire being altogether in our spirit are we in the church as the kingdom of God! [continue reading online]

this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony!
I am so encouraged with what the Lord is doing today! On the one hand we have the high peak truth and the high gospel – the complete gospel as revealed in the whole New Testament – and on the other hand we have a way to enjoy the Lord, practice the church life, build up the Body, and become the Bride of Christ! In His recovery the Lord is continually speaking – conference after conference, training after training, meeting after meeting, and even morning after morning as we spend time with Him.

one week training in Bower House – we need to grow in life unto maturity to be useful
I recently attended a one-week training that was held in Bower House and I can say that it was the most memorable week in my life. Some are dreading to go to training but in my case it was different. Months before the much awaited week I was already so excited about it [read more online from the top enjoyment of a sister who recently went to the One Week Training in Bower House]

begetting through the gospel, feeding others with spiritual food, and building with precious materials
For us to build with gold, silver, and precious stones, we need to be constituted with the divine nature of the Father as gold, the redemptive work of Christ as the silver, and the transforming work of the Spirit as the precious stones. We as builders need to become these precious materials in order to build others with them and help them also become precious materials. We need to be transformed to be precious materials by being daily constituted with the Triune God, and we will be built into the house of God. Then we will be qualified to build the house of God with other believers as the transformed materials… [continue reading online]

sowing the seeds of life, planting Christ into people, and watering others with living water
The flow of the divine life in us makes us ministers of the new covenant (2 Cor. 3:6). A competent minister of the new covenant has six statuses in 1 Corinthians – a sower sowing the seeds of life, a planter planting Christ into others, a waterer with the water of life, a begetter of others in Christ, a feeder of the believers, and a builder of the building of God.

being a Christian student on the campus: overflow from the students in London top enjoyment
Recently we had a meeting with the Christian students in London, an overflow meeting, something like a end-of-term celebration meeting… “This semester my roommate got saved! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!” “The best thing we can give the Lord is our time – and there’s no better way to spend our time than being with the Lord” [read more testimonies online]

everything shall live where the river flows; we need to be absolute for the Lord and His recovery
If we see the flow, if we see God’s desire, if we see the Lord’s recovery, and if we taste of the sweet church life, yet we are not absolute for the Lord and for the Lord’s recovery, there’s a danger that we would be a swamp and a marsh. “Our stand concerning the church must be absolute. If you stand in a denomination, you should stand absolutely….If you stand on the ground of the church, you must stand absolutely. You should be either cold or hot, but you should not be lukewarm” (life-study of Ezekiel). [continue reading online]
