第六週.週六 晨興餧養 太二四48~49『若是那惡僕…動手打那些和他同作奴僕的,又和酒醉的人一同喫喝。』 二五18~19『但那領一他連得的,去掘開地,把他主人的銀子埋藏了。過了許久,那些奴僕的主人竟然來和他們算賬。』 我們眾人都應該按時分糧給主的子民,(太二四45,)並且充分使用主的恩賜。(二五20,22。)…我們不該動手打那些和我們同作奴僕的人。(二四49。)…我惟一的負擔乃是釋放信息。雖然我無意暴露任何人,許多人卻藉着我所釋放信息裏的光被暴露。那不是我的工作,乃是主的工作。…我們必須花費我們的時間…為着主的權益有積極的事奉。(李常受文集一九八五年第五冊,六六四至六六六頁。) 信息選讀 再者,我們不該是那些『和酒醉的人一同喫喝』的人。(太二四49。)這比動手打同作奴僕的人飄離得更遠、墮落得更甚。…屬世的人被屬世的事物迷醉,甚至麻醉。他們被現今的世代所麻醉。與他們一同喫喝,就是享受他們所享受的。 我們不該與酒醉的人一同喫喝,也不該掘開地,把主的銀子埋藏了。(二五18。)地乃是象徵世界,所以掘開地是表徵鑽進世界。任何與世界的聯合、牽連,甚至一點世俗的交談,都會埋藏主所給我們的恩賜。 我們要成為忠信的,路就是散佈主的話,這話對每一個飢渴的人乃是食物。主的家業不僅由信徒組成,也由罪人組成。誰要去餧養飢渴的罪人?我們都必須說,『我去!』我們必須去。…我們必須盡所能的傳佈神的話。…許多基督徒幾乎沒有甚麼真理;他們有神的話,但他們不在意神的話,也不明白有多少豐富在其中。在這背道的時代,靠着主的憐憫,祂向我們打開祂的話。許多神聖的豐富都刊印出版了。…我們為甚麼不帶着這些豐富出去?…這是餧養主子民的一條路。 主把銀子給了祂所有的奴僕。…每一個人都需要去作生意,作事業,為主的國度賺錢。我們要作這事,就必須按時餧養祂的子民。每一天都是指定的時候,都是用餐的時候。…各處都有人豫備好要喫,所以我們需要充分使用主的銀子。得到五他連得銀子的奴僕另外賺取五他連得的利潤,得到二他連得銀子的奴僕另外賺取二他連得的利潤。這指明他們完全使用主的銀子,沒有任何損失或浪費,所以他們得着同樣的賞賜。 此外,我們必須靠着祂的憐憫,藉着祂的恩典,盡所能不動手打同作奴僕的,就是同作信徒的。不要批評或埋怨他們;不要用消極的話說到他們,因為你沒有時間這樣作。你的口不是被造來批評的,乃是被造來說出基督的。批評弟兄們就是動手打同作奴僕的,這會使我們受懲治。我們也不該鑽到世界裏,與麻醉的屬世之人一同享樂。我們必須是清明的人。我們不該掘開地,把我們的銀子埋起來。我們應當有工作好賴以維生,但我們不該鑽進去。我們與屬世之人不同。我鼓勵我所有的孫子盡所能的得着最高的教育,但我不同意他們任何人『鑽進』他們的教育裏,只是成為專家。我也鼓勵召會中所有的青年人受最高的教育,但不要鑽一個洞,把主給你的恩賜埋起來。我們都需要在對主的服事上忠信。(李常受文集一九八五年第五冊,六六六至六六七、六七一至六七四頁。) 參讀:實行主當前行動之路,第十章。 WEEK 6 — DAY 6 Morning Nourishment
Matt. 24:48-49 But if that evil slave…begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with the drunken.
25:18-19 But he who had received the one went off and dug in the earth and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.
All of us should be those who are feeding the Lord’s people at the proper time (Matt. 24:45) and using the Lord’s talents in full (25:20, 22)…We should not be those beating our fellow slaves (24:49)…My only burden is to release messages. Although I have no intention of exposing anyone, many are exposed by the light in the messages I release. That is not my job but the Lord’s work …We must spend our time…to do a positive service for the Lord’s interest. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 539-540)
Today’s Reading
Furthermore, we should not be one who “eats and drinks with the drunken” Matt. 24:49). This is to drift away further, a further fall from beating the fellow slaves …The worldly people are drunk and even drugged with worldly things. They are stupefied with the present age. To eat and drink with them is to enjoy what they enjoy.
We should not eat and drink with the drunken, nor should we dig in the earth and hide the Lord’s talent (25:18). The earth signifies the world, so to dig in the earth signifies getting into the world. Any association, any involvement, with the world, even a little worldly talk, will bury the Lord’s gift to us.
The way to be faithful is to scatter the Lord’s word, which is food to every hungry one. The Lord’s household is composed not only of believers but also of sinners. Who will go to feed the hungry, sinful people? We all have to say, “Me!” We have to go…We must do everything that we can to spread the Word of God. Many Christians are nearly void of the truth; they have the Word of God, but they do not care for it, nor do they realize how much is in it. In this age of apostasy the Lord, by His mercy, has opened up His Word to us. Many of the divine riches have been printed and published…Why do we not go out with these riches?…This is one of the ways to feed the Lord’s people.
The Lord has given talents to all His slaves …Everyone was required to trade, to do business, to make money for the Lord’s kingdom. In order to do this, we have to feed His people at the proper time. Every day is a proper time, a meal time…There is someone ready to eat everywhere, so we need to be those using the Lord’s talent in full. The five-talented slave made a profit of five talents, and the two-talented slave made a profit of two talents. This indicates that they used the Lord’s talent in full, without any loss or waste, so they both received the same reward.
Also, by His mercy and through His grace we must do the best not to beat the fellow slaves, the fellow believers. Do not criticize or murmur about them. Do not speak anything negative about them, because you do not have the time to do it. Your mouth was not made for criticizing but for speaking forth Christ. To criticize the brothers is to beat the fellow slaves. This will cause us to be punished. We should also not go into the world to enjoy ourselves with the stupefied, drugged, and worldly people. We have to be the sober ones. We should not dig into the earth to bury or hide our talent. We should have a job to maintain our living, but we should not dig into it. We are different from the worldly people. I encourage all my grandchildren to do their best to get the highest education, but I do not agree that any one of them would “dig into” their education just to become an expert. I also encouraged all the young people in the churches to get the highest education, but do not dig a hole that buries the talent the Lord gave you. We all need to be faithful in the Lord’s service. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 540-541, 544-546)
