晨興餧養

路二三34『當下耶穌說,父阿,赦免他們,因為他們所作的,他們不曉得。…』

林後十二15『我極其喜歡為你們花費,並完全花上自己。難道我越發愛你們,就越發少得你們的愛麼?』

被得罪是一件非常嚴重的事。不要隨便的說,『在召會生活中,我被得罪了。長老和別的帶頭弟兄把我得罪了。』雖然別人可能得罪你,但頭一個受害者卻是你。一面來說,我定罪所有得罪人的事;但另一面我必須說,你沒有理由被得罪。我們若不在自己裏面,就不會被得罪。倘若我運用否認己的鑰匙來關鎖己,我就不可能被得罪。…由於己的門敞開,撒但就出來,我們就被得罪了。

不要以為召會錯了,就不再是召會。比方,當你的小孩犯了錯,他還是你的小孩。不管召會是對是錯,仍是召會。在召會中,雖然你會被某事或某人得罪,但不要為自己找任何藉口,否則這將阻撓召會的建造。(李常受文集一九七八年第一冊,八七至八八頁。)

信息選讀

當有些事情發生摸著了我們,己就敞開了門。因著我們向陰間是敞開的,就有一些東西從陰間—撒但—出來。我們何等需要運用否認己的鑰匙來鎖住己!避免被人得罪的路,就在於藉著否認己來關鎖己。那些不被得罪的人,有福了。…當主耶穌來設立祂的審判臺時,祂要我們向祂交賬。祂會問我們為甚麼在某些地方被得罪。假如我們為自己找藉口,主是不會接受的。問題不是得罪,而是己。有些病菌很容易傳染,但沒有一種病菌會使桌子生病。假如你會被得罪,就證明你滿了己。如果我將我的己鎖住,就無論你對我作甚麼,或者怎樣對待我,我都不會被得罪。

在召會生活中,不應該有任何天然的友誼。如果你把某些人當作你特別的朋友,這也指明你是滿了己。某些人合你的口味,你也合他們的口味,你們彼此餧養個人的口味。這是非常損害並攔阻建造的。在召會裏,在弟兄姊妹中間,只應該有純淨、神聖的愛,不應該有任何私人的情感。

為著召會生活中主的建造,每一件天然的事都必須被拔出。不應該有天然的情感、關係或感覺。…每當一位弟兄用天然的情感愛我,我就害怕。那就是我使用鑰匙來否認己的時候。我要鎖住我的己並避開那位弟兄的情感。無論甚麼時候,當你發現你在餧養一個弟兄的己,並且他也在餧養你的己,你就必須運用這把鑰匙來關鎖己的門。假如你不鎖住己,撒但就會從己的門出來,…主就不可能用你們來建造召會。

我很高興在召會中有弟兄之家和姊妹之家。但根據經歷,我們知道住在其中會產生兩種結果:有一些人形成天然的友誼;另有些人不滿意而失望。但無論情形如何,你不應該失望,失望證明你在己裏面。那些住在弟兄姊妹之家的弟兄姊妹,他們的己必須被鎖住。若是己被鎖住,我們就會有建造。假如你使用否認己的鑰匙,其他的人或許會被得罪,但你卻不會被得罪。反之,你會被建造,因為你裏面的己已經被鎖住。我們都要使用這把否認己的得勝鑰匙來鎖住己、魂和心思。否則,召會的建造就會受阻礙。(李常受文集一九七八年第一冊,八八至九一頁。)

WEEK 4 — DAY 4

 
Morning Nourishment
 
Luke 23:34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing…
 
2 Cor. 12:15 But I, I will most gladly spend and be utterly spent on behalf of your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved less?
 
It is a very serious matter to be offended. Do not casually say, “I have been offended in the church life. The elders and other leading ones have offended me.” Although others may offend you, you will always be the first to suffer. On the one hand, I condemn all the offenses; but on the other hand, I must say that there is no excuse for your being offended. If we were not in ourselves, we could not be offended. If I exercise the key of self-denial to lock up the self, it will be impossible for me to be offended…Through the open gate of the self, Satan comes forth, and we are offended.
 
Do not think that the church is no longer the church because it is wrong. For example, when your child makes a mistake, he is still your child. Whether the church is right or wrong, it is still the church. Although you may be offended by something or someone in the church, do not make any excuses for yourself. This frustrates the building up of the church. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” p. 72)
 
Today’s Reading
 
When certain things take place to touch us, the self is open. Because we are open to Hades, something from Hades—Satan—comes out. How we need to use the key of self-denial to lock the self! The way to keep from being offended by others is to lock up yourself by denying yourself. Blessed are those who are not offended…When the Lord Jesus comes and sets up His judgment seat, He will tell us to settle our account with Him. He may ask us why we were offended in certain places. But if we make excuses for ourselves, the Lord will  not accept them. The problem is not the offense—it is the self. Certain viruses are very contagious. However, no virus can cause a table to be sick. If you can be offended, it is a proof that you are full of self. If my self has been locked up, I will not be offended no matter what you do to me or how you treat me.
 
In the church life there should not be any natural friendships. If you regard certain ones as your special friends, it also is an indication that you are full of self. Certain ones match your taste, and you fit their taste. You feed one another’s taste. This is very damaging, and it hinders the building. Among the brothers and sisters in the church, there should be a pure divine love, but there should not be any personal affection.
 
For the Lord’s building in the church life, everything natural must be extracted. There should be no natural affection, relationship, or feeling…Whenever a brother loves me in a naturally affectionate way, I am frightened…Whenever you discover that you are feeding a brother’s self and that he is feeding yours, you must use the key to lock the gate of the self. If you do not lock up the self, Satan will come out through the door of the self…It will be impossible for the Lord to build the church with you.
 
I am glad that in the churches we have the brothers’ houses and the sisters’ houses. But, through experience, we have realized that there are two kinds of results from living in such a house. Some form natural friendships; others become dissatisfied and disappointed. However, no matter what the situation may be, you should not be disappointed. To be disappointed is a proof that you are in the self. The self of those who live in the brothers’ and sisters’ houses must be locked up. If the self is locked up, we shall have the building. If you exercise the key of self-denial, others may be offended, but you will not be offended. Instead, you will be built up because the self in you has been locked up. We all need to use the prevailing key of self-denial to lock the self, the soul, and the mind. Otherwise, the building up of the church will be frustrated. (CWWL, 1978, vol. 1, “The Exercise of the Kingdom for the Building of the Church,” pp. 72-74)
