I visit different localities (on work trip), and observe the desperate need of the Word. It is not because there is not enough noise at the meetings, but I observe that His Word is short, contaminated and sometimes watered down. I lament. Shall we wait for some visiting brothers to come? Or that bi-annual training or gospel meeting to arrive? Or we reject our excuses and pick up that Book? We the working saints are the generation to bear the church. If we can spend 40-60 hours week working, we ought to spend much more to be His minister. It might take 10 years or more before there might be a little gain, but we need to start or regret later.
This book very much touch me. Highly recommended for those want to be useful for His economy.
]]>“Before man, there are only two trees which are the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, resulting in the two ways. For the tree of life leads to the way of eternal life, advancing in the bringing forth the kingdom of God, building up of the church and the Body of Christ and consummating in the New Jerusalem. Yet the tree of the knowledge of good and evil leads to eternal perishing and consummating in the lake of fire. In our every day, all men without exception, are placed before the two trees in our daily walk before the Lord and in the world. This book is recommended to all believers as it brings us to the light of the vision and the distinction of the two trees and shows us the unique way to enjoy God to fulfill God’s eternal will and plan. “
]]>In this book, we see the good land God promised to bring His people into is a type of Christ. All the items mentioned in the good land typify different aspects of Christ. The orders of the items how the Holy Spirit reveals represent the different stage of spiritual life. By seeing the riches of the good land, we are also provided the ways to possess the good land seen in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. There are ways and principles to possess the land. If we want to reach the goal of God, we need to know how we can possess the land as the all-inclusive Christ.
Whenever I read this book, I am always encouraged to continue to press on to enjoy and experience Christ in many aspects of my Christian life.
