As the firstborn Son of God being the Word of God (John 1:1) is God's oracle for the speaking and dispensing of God to carry out His eternal economy, so the many sons of God being members of the Word of God are God's oracle, speaking and dispensing God for the spreading of God and the increase of Christ. The firstborn Son of God is the oracle of God, and we are the many sons. This means that all the sons are God's oracle so that God may have a spread and Christ may have an increase. Collected Works of Witness Lee, 1994-1997, vol. 5, ”The Vital Groups,” p. 83

In the book of Numbers we see that the one who has been appointed by God to be a deputy authority must be a proper representative of God; we need to see the characteristics of those who properly represent God with His authority to His people. This … [Continue reading]

We Experience Christ in His Resurrection as our Authority in the God-given Ministry

October 18, 2019 by aGodMan Leave a Comment

Resurrection is the basis of authority. The basis of God’s appointment of authority is resurrection. The basis of God’s vindication of His appointed authority is resurrection.

In Num. 17 we see God's vindication of His appointed authority, which is the budding rod of Aaron; this shows that we need to experience Christ in His resurrection in the God-given ministry. In Num. 16 we see the general rebellion of the leaders and … [Continue reading]
