晨興餧養

來五12 ～ 14『按時間說，你們該作教師；可是你們還需要有人將神諭言開端的要綱教導你們；並且成了那必須用奶，不能喫乾糧的人。凡只能享用奶的，對公義的話都是沒有經驗的，因爲他是嬰孩；只有長成的人，纔能喫乾糧…。』

按照提前四章六節所說，我們也該在我們向來所緊緊跟隨善美教訓的話上，得着餧養。善美教訓的話，乃是那些包含並傳輸基督的豐富，以餧養、造就並加強祂信徒之甜美的話。事實上，信仰的話與善美教訓的話是指同樣的事。我們要教導別人，自己必須先緊緊跟隨這些話。我們緊緊跟隨這些話，並得其餧養，然後纔能餧養別人。譬如，母親若不知道如何好好餧養自己，就不會知道如何將健康的食物餧養她的孩子。藉着她自己得餧養的經歷，她就會知道甚麼食物對她的孩子最好。這說明我們作基督的好執事，自己必須先在信仰的話，並我們向來所緊緊跟隨善美教訓的話上，得了餧養，然後我們纔能餧養別人。（提摩太前書生命讀經，八八頁。）

信息選讀

我們在接納信徒過召會生活等等的生活上，要照着基督耶穌，彼此思念相同的事，同心合意榮耀神。（羅十五5 ～ 7。）當我們同心合意時，我們都用同一的口，說同樣的話。我們同心同口惟一的路，就是讓基督在我們心裏和口中，有地位作一切，使榮耀歸與神。我們已經說過，神就是新耶路撒冷。我們榮耀神，就是以祂爲新耶路撒冷，將一切榮耀都歸與祂。（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第五册，六四○頁。）

在公會裏有許多尋求的基督徒，許多親愛的弟兄們，在尋求比他們所聽過的、所有的更高、更深、更豐富的東西。他們厭倦了膚淺的東西。我們若告訴他們高峯的真理，他們會醒過來。起初他們可能會反對，但他們漸漸的會找到真理。那麼我們該作甚麼？我們必須學習神當前啓示的高峯，並學習講說這些事。我們必須去，我們也必須說。我信今天這啓示的高峯，要成爲今日基督徒中間最熱門的市場產品。

我願意鼓勵大家，都接受這個高的託付：帶着神聖啓示的高峯，並帶着神今時代的異象出去，爲着神聖啓示的高峯，與神一同行動，以完成祂永遠的經綸。（李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册，一八八頁。）

正如人在食物上有不同的口味，主的恢復照樣有一種職事的味道：這職事多年來建造了主的恢復。主的恢復被興起來，具有一種味道。那些被興起來，具有這種口味的人，會拒絕與這不合的味道。這就是說，如果你講說與主恢復的味道不合的事，你的講說會被拒絕，並且你將是頭一個遭虧損的人。已往我們見過許多這樣的例子。

如果你有智慧，你會曉得你說話對象的口味。在主恢復裏所有的召會都是藉着這職事興起來的，聖徒們多年『喫』這職事，對這職事有一種口味。…你若盼望聖徒們『喫』與主恢復的味道不合的東西，你也會有難處。（李常受文集一九八四年第二册，四四一至四四二頁。）

Morning Nourishment

Heb. 5:12-14 ...Because of the time you ought to be teachers, [but] you have need again for someone to teach you what the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God are and have become those who have need of milk and not of solid food. For everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant; but solid food is for the full-grown...

According to 1 Timothy 4:6, we should also be nourished with the good teaching which we have closely followed. The words of the good teaching are the sweet words that contain and convey the riches of Christ to nourish, edify, and strengthen His believers. Actually, the words of the faith and the words of the good teaching refer to the same thing. If we would teach others, we ourselves must first follow these words closely. Following them closely and being nourished with them, we will then be able to feed others. For example, if a mother does not know how to nourish herself properly, she will not know how to feed healthy food to her children. Through her own experience of being nourished, she will know what food is best for her children. This illustrates the fact that as good ministers of Christ, we must first be nourished ourselves with the words of the faith and of the good teaching which we have closely followed, and then we will be able to nourish others. (Life-study of 1 Timothy, second edition, pp. 72-73)

Today’s Reading

We need to be of the same mind toward one another according to Christ Jesus so that with one accord we may glorify God in receiving the believers to live the church life (Rom. 15:5-7). Whenever we are in one accord, we speak the same thing; we speak with one mouth. The only way to be with one accord andwith one mouth is to allow Christ the room to be everything in our heart and in our mouth so that God may be glorified. We have said that God is the New Jerusalem. When we glorify God, we take Him as the New Jerusalem and give all the glory to Him. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 5, “The Experience of God’s Organic Salvation Equaling Reigning in Christ’s Life,” p. 509)

Many seeking Christians, dear brothers, in the denominations are seeking something higher, deeper, and richer than what they have heard and possess. They are tired of shallow things. If we tell them the high-peak truths, they will wake up. At first, they may oppose, but gradually they will find the truth. Then what shall we do? We have to learn the high peaks of God’s present revelation and learn to speak these things. We have to go, and we have to speak. I believe that the high peaks of today’s revelation will become the hottest market among today’s Christians.

I would encourage all of us to pick up this high commission: to go out with the high peaks of the divine revelation and with God’s up-to-date vision to move with God for His high peaks of the divine revelation that will consummate His eternal economy. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “The Triune God’s Revelation and His Move,” p. 151)

Just as people have different tastes in food, so the Lord’s recovery also has a taste for the ministry that has built up the recovery over the years. The recovery was raised up with a certain taste. Those who have been raised with this taste will reject a taste that is contrary to it. This means that if you speak something contrary to the taste of the Lord’s recovery, your speaking will be rejected, and you will be the first to suffer loss. We have seen a number of examples of this in the past.

If you are wise, you will know the taste of those to whom you are speaking. All the churches in the recovery were raised up through the ministry, and the saints have been “eating” this ministry for years and have a taste for it...You will have trouble if you expect the saints to “eat” something against the taste in the Lord’s recovery. (CWWL, 1984, vol. 2, “Elders’ Training, Book 3: The Way to Carry Out the Vision,” pp. 344-345)
