晨興餧養

弗四12 為要成全聖徒,目的是為着職事的工作,為着建造基督的身體。

16 …全身…叫身體漸漸長大,以致在愛裏把自己建造起來。

林前十四26 …各人或有詩歌,或有教訓,或有啟示,或有方言,或有翻出來的話,凡事都當為建造。

你們若是有心,從這個時候起,天天有新的復興,過得勝的生活,一切擺上為着主,盡力抓住時間接觸人,照顧一個一個的弟兄姊妹。不必盼望一下子接觸許多人,要細水長流,纔有果效。

若是你每天接觸一位,一年就接觸了三百六十五位;若是一個地方有三位長老,天天都接觸人,一年之中,就可以把眾聖徒接觸許多遍。這個果效要比講多少篇道有用得多!今天弟兄姊妹需要幫助的很多,所以我們必須盡力的接觸他們,用愛關心、照顧他們,盡所能的幫助、牧養他們(李常受文集一九八八年第四冊,五八至五九頁)。

信息選讀

現在我們必須恢復〔把時間和全人拚上去,盡力接觸人並牧養人〕。惟有這樣,以弗所四章十二至十六節所說基督身體的生機建造,與林前十四章二十六節所說相互性的聚會,纔能在我們中間實行並應驗。為此,我們必須有晨晨復興,日日得勝的生活作基礎;並且有這種愛主的生活和工作,來維持我們的得勝。若沒有復興的生活並牧養的工作,我們無法一直得勝,無法維持在得勝裏;能把我們維持在得勝裏的,就是這種愛主的生活和愛主的工作。這兩面我們都需要(李常受文集一九八八年第四冊,五九至六○頁)。

基督徒的爭戰,乃是為着免去失敗,不是為着爭取得勝。我們是已經得勝了,我們是從得勝出去爭戰,為要保守已有的得勝;…得勝是已經在我們手裏的東西。以弗所書所說的爭戰,乃是得勝者的打仗,不是藉着爭戰來作得勝者。我們必須分別這一個。

撒但怎樣試探你?撒但是要叫你忘記你自己的地位,叫你忘記你自己的得勝,或者看不見你自己的得勝。你如果接受他這樣的試探,你就越過越覺得得勝離開你遠,就越過越摸不着得勝。我們要記得,主耶穌的得勝是完全到一個地步,把你整個一生都包括在裏面!你一信就得勝。撒但乃是已經失敗的,我們乃是已經在基督裏面得勝的。撒但想要來偷去我們的得勝,偷去我們所已經得着的得勝。…如果我們曉得我們是得勝的,他就不能作甚麼。

所以,我們是藉着主耶穌的工作來對付撒但的工作,我們是藉着祂的顯現,藉着祂的死,藉着祂的復活,藉着祂的升天來抵擋撒但。我們今天是站在主所成功的一切工作上。如果撒但來攻擊你,你千萬不要有一點意念想要得勝;你只要有一點『我要得勝』的感覺,你就已經失敗了,因為這一個地位是錯的。一個人想要得勝,與一個人知道自己已經得勝而去抵擋,這裏面的分別不知道有多大。…這一件事的的確確需要啟示。我們必須看見主的顯現,我們必須看見主的死,我們必須看見主的復活,我們必須看見主的升天,這一切我們都必須知道(倪柝聲文集第三輯第四冊,二二七至二二八頁)。

WEEK 5 — DAY 1

Morning Nourishment

Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ.

16… All the Body…causes the growth of the Body unto the building up of itself in love.

1 Cor. 14:26 …Each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.

If you have a heart for the Lord, from now on you should have a revival every day to live the overcoming life, to consecrate everything for the Lord, and to strive to redeem every bit of time to contact people. Care for the saints one by one. Do not hope to contact too many people all at once. The most effective way is the slow and sure way.

If you contact one person a day, in a year you will have contacted three hundred and sixty-five persons. If a church has three elders and each contacts people every day, in a year’s time they will be able to contact all the saints many times. The effect of this is much higher than giving many messages. Today there are many brothers and sisters who need help. Hence, we have to do our best to contact them, to be concerned and care for them in love, and to strive to help and shepherd them. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 4, “A Timely Trumpeting and the Present Need,” pp. 44-45)

Today’s Reading

Now we must recover this matter [of giving our all and our time to contact and shepherd people]. Only by this will the organic building up of the Body of Christ in Ephesians 4:12-16 and the meetings of mutuality in 1 Corinthians 14:26 be realized and practiced among us. For this we need a daily revival and a daily overcoming as the base. We also need a life and a work that flow out from the love of the Lord in order to maintain our victory. If we do not have a revived living or a labor in shepherding, we will not be overcoming for long; there will be no way for us to maintain our victory. What maintains us in the victory is a life and work of love toward the Lord. We need both these aspects. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 4, “A Timely Trumpeting and the Present Need,” p. 46)

Christian warfare is a matter of warding off defeat; it is not a matter of fighting for victory. We have already overcome. We fight from the position of victory, and we fight to maintain our victory… Victory is something that is in our hands. The warfare spoken of in Ephesians is the warfare of the overcomers. We do not become overcomers through fighting. We need to distinguish between these two things.

How does Satan tempt us? He causes us to forget our own position and our victory. He blinds our eyes to our own victory. If we give in to his tactics, we will feel that victory is far away and beyond our reach. We must remember that the victory of the Lord is complete. It is so complete that our whole life is included in this victory! Once we believe, we overcome. Satan is defeated and we have overcome in Christ. Satan wants to steal away the victory which we have gained… If we know our victory, his work will fail.

Therefore, we counter the work of Satan with the work of the Lord Jesus. We withstand Satan through the Lord’s manifestation, death, resurrection, and ascension. We are standing today upon the accomplished work of the Lord. We do not need to try to overcome in any way when Satan attacks us. Once we have the slightest thought of trying to overcome, we have failed, because our position is wrong. How great is the difference between a person who tries to overcome and one who withstands by knowing that he has already overcome. This matter indeed needs revelation. We need to see the manifestation of the Lord. We need to see His death, resurrection, and ascension. We need to know all these things. (CWWN, vol. 50, “Messages for Building Up New Believers (3),” p. 741)
