Youth small group meeting

My dear sisters..

感谢主！回来参加青少年聚会， 感觉很不一样。每次看到这班青少年就看到以前的我！顿时就感觉这一路走来都是主的怜悯。It's the Lord's mercy that i can be in the Lord's recovery to enjoy all His riches and up-to-date truths....
先是儿童老师遇见我，带我去儿童聚会。在聚会中，有唱诗，背经，听故事。最开心的是有零食吃！！哈 哈。。学校假期就参加儿童生活营。。 After baptised, 就从儿童班升到青少年。。过程中有逃避聚会的时候，但主不放过。。藉着补习老师又把我带回羊群中。那时就与同伴开始去小排，主日聚会，相调。。then after form 3 attended 1 month training, after form 5 attended 3 months training...
Few days after 3 months training, i went to Taylor's college in Subang Jaya to study A-level and stayed in sis hse. I still remember that time i bring along my 圣经之旅 which pursued in youth, then a sis told me that I'm now no longer youth, should pursue more solid food that is "The Holy Word for Morning Revival". Now I'm campus student...this is the time i start to treasure the Lord's recovery and all those high peak truths and this is the time i really enjoy and touch the Lord.
Still got 1 more year to go, i dont want to waste my time during campus life..May the Lord continue to gain me, keep me to love Him and enjoy Him all the times.

May the vision of God's economy govern all our life!

May the Lord continue to have mercy on these youth, grant them the spiritual growth each day..
Praise the Lord!

Love is unconditional

Finally i got the lyric for this hymn.... I had been searching for it for quite some time. Thanks the sis who share the lyric.

Ya, LOVE is unconditional. I treasure that LOVE is a person, that is God Himself and He is the one who reached us. Because of His unconditional love, we can love Him today! We love because the Lord first love us. Praise the Lord!

Love is unconditional - New Man Singers

Love is unconditional, it knows not any reason…
it never thinks or never does consider anything
it simply loves from a heart that is true
love is a person and He is the one who reached you

love is just the essence and the nature of God's being
never is a virtue that a moral man withholds
it simply flows from a source that is divine
love is a person, and He is the One who reached you

it simply loves from a heart that is true
it simply flows from a source that is divine
love is a person, and He is the One who reached you

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!

This morning, a sis came to me with some of her personal problems. Her condition was somewhat similar as mine last time. At that moment, i dont know how to help her except reminding her to turn to her spirit. Suddenly, i think of a book "The Practical Way to Live in the Mingling of God with Man" that i had read previously, in which there's a portion of words that i touched the most. While reading with our dear sis, again I'm being reminded and thus saved me from my condition also. I still remember the first time i read these portion of words was during my sem 3 study break. That time really stress and i complained a lot. Then a sis showed me these portion of words and it reminded me throughout my study break and even my EOS that time. It's an instant word to me! Praise the Lord, Hallelujah!

~Extracted from The Practical Way to Live in the Mingling of God with Man~

We need to praise the Lord by saying Hallelujah. Sometimes the young people ask me what I do after I say Hallelujah. When Satan comes to tempt me, there is nothing for me to do but praise. I do not know anything except to say Hallelujah. We were not saved to do good; we were saved to praise, glorify, and thank the Lord (1 Thes. 5:16-18). We must remember that we are in Christ and that the Spirit of Christ is within us (Rom. 8:2, 9). Once we have such a realization, we must simply praise the Lord and say Hallelujah all day long. There is nothing left for us to do except praise Him. One day, when I spoke concerning this matter in a meeting, a sister came to me afterwards and said, “Brother Lee, I am very glad to have heard the message tonight. I realize what you mean when you tell us that we should say Hallelujah. But when I go back to my home, I will be met by my husband, who is a very hard man. What you say is very good, but what shall I do in my difficult situation?” I responded to her, “Sister, the harder your husband is, the more you have to say Hallelujah. Do not make up your mind to be patient. Do not try to do anything. The more you try to be patient, the more impatient you will be. Simply remember that whenever your husband is hard toward you, you must just say, ‘Praise the Lord. Hallelujah.’” This is all we must do. For eternity we will say Hallelujah.

A Christian is not someone who tries to do something; a Christian is a person who always enjoys and experiences Christ. We are not called by the Lord to do things to please Him. We are called to enjoy, experience, and participate in Christ. Never try to do good by yourself. Just remember that you are in Christ and that the Spirit of Christ is in you. If you need electricity, there is no need for you to do anything but turn the switch on. Saying Hallelujah is the way to switch on to enjoy and experience Christ. If you try to be good by yourself, the switch will be turned off. Always remember to praise the Lord, for this is the way to switch on. This is the way to be a victorious person who is in Christ and who walks according to the Spirit. We are set free from sin, death, and bondage simply by saying Hallelujah and walking according to the Spirit.

" Lord, cause me to be a person who praise You and say Hallelujah all day long ! "

New Testament Priest of the Gospel

Every believer is a New Testament priest of the gospel, with everyone preaching the gospel, everyone feeding the Lord's lambs, everyone perfecting the saints and everyone prophesying for the Lord. In this way the church will be built up. For such a glorious goal and result, there are requirements for the ministry of the New Testament priests of the gospel:

1. Revive every morning
2. Overcome everyday
3. Fill with and live in the Spirit every moment
4. Walk according to the spirit in everything
   
5. Be in one accord and in harmony with all the saints
6. Not to be blown by the winds of teaching
7. Do not teach anything different from the truth concerning the New Testament priesthood of the gospel of God
8. Pray watchfully, labor diligently and struggle earnestly to carry out each step of the duties of the New Testament priests of the gospel of God
9. Await the Lord's coming through living and working in the light of His judgment seat

~ These requirements concern what kind of person we are and what kind of life we live.~

Before going out...

Praise the Lord! We are New Testament priest of the gospel. Really treasure every Monday's going out. Not only students who go out but also on-jobbers, full-timers, elderly bro and sis coordinate to preach the gospel. Such coordination really wonderful! I see that the gospel work in the campus is not only the matter of the student but the whole church. It's the body matter...How wonderful we can preach the gospel in the Body!

I treasure the brother said, "Everytime we go out, he don't care how many people will get baptized but he know at least one person will be saved that is the person who go out. We go out, we would be the first person who get saved. To be a normal christian we need 3 things, that are Truth, Life and Gospel. When we get constituted with the truth, we get the life. First we get the light, the light brings in life. But the life and and the light issues in the gospel. So, the gospel is the outflow. That is not we who save them but the word of God. When we go out, we are revived. We go out to preach the gospel is to exercise our spirit to be the priest of the gospel. " So, may the Lord gain me to live for the gospel! PTL

Give yourself to love the Lord

Today while flipping through the hymns that were compiled in the file, there is a hymn attracted me that is " Give Yourself to Love the Lord ". I search the hymnal.net, the comments from the saints were very encouraging and there is a link to the book "Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs". I had read chapter 2 and 3, it's really enlightening and supplying. Here are the portion of words that i touched the most and is a reminder to me as well!

Give yourself to love the Lord. No other way is so prevailing, and no other way is so safe, so rich, and so full of enjoyment. Just love Him. Do not care for anything else. Teachings, doctrines, gifts, and power do not mean much. We must continually tell the Lord, “Lord, keep me in Your love! Attract me with Yourself! Keep me all the time in Your loving presence!” If we will pray in this way, we will see what love we will have toward the Lord and what kind of life we will live. We will simply live by the Lord Himself. As long as we love Him from the deepest part of our being, everything will be all right. If we need wisdom, He will be the wisdom to us. If we need power, He will be the power. If we need the proper and adequate knowledge, He will even be that to us. Whatever we need, He is. Do not try to get anything else; just look to Him that He would reveal His love to you. Song of Songs 1:4 says, “Draw me, we will run after thee.” We must ask the Lord to draw us, and then others will run after Him with us. To take Him as our life, we must love Him in such a way.

In Revelation 2 the degradation of the church began with the loss of the first love toward the Lord Jesus. The church in Ephesus had many good works and was even strong in faith, but the Lord rebuked her by saying, “I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” They had lost the fresh and best love toward the Lord. This started the degradation of the churches. When we lose our love for the Lord, we start to backslide. We must go to the Lord and make a deal with Him: “Lord, be merciful to me! I do not need anything or anyone else but Your loving Self. Simply show me Yourself! Draw me that we may run after You. O Lord, show me Your love that I might be constrained by Your love! I do not want to do anything for You, Lord. I just want to love You. I just want to take You as my Person. I want Your personality as my personality, Your will as my will, Your desires as my desires. I want Your everything as my everything.”

Thus, we see that it is not simply a matter of believing, but also a matter of loving. We must learn to love the Lord Jesus. If we would have such a burning love toward the Lord Jesus, we will enjoy all that He is. Therefore, I do not encourage you to seek anything else. Go to the Lord and ask Him to draw you that you may run after Him. You must realize that the “zoe-life” is such a loving, wonderful Person and that love is the way to deal with Him.

~Extracted from Life and Building as Portrayed in the Song of Songs Chapter 2 by Witness Lee~

"Lord, keep me loving You all the time. I just ask You to do this one thing.”

If God leads you to walk a way

If God leads you to walk
A way that you know,
It will not benefit you as much as
If He would lead you to take the way
That you do not know.
This forces you to have
Hundreds and thousands of
Conversations with Him,
Resulting in a journey that is an
Everlasting memorial
Between you and Him.

I like this hymn. The content is very meaningful. Unknown pathway is always better than the pathway that we have already know. This forces us to turn to Him, speak to Him...to have hundred and thousand of conversations with Him, resulting in a journey that is an everlasting memorial between us and Him...Wow, it's really wonderful!!
"Lord, I dont know anything about my future but Your way is always higher than mine! Gain me just to be faithful, following the lamb whenever You may go!"

Gospel Meeting

Praise the Lord for the gospel meeting last night. The gospel meeting for this time, we have it at two venue at the same time. So it's really a spiritual warfare for us and every saints in Imu are required to coordinate. Throughout the preparation, there's a portion of word from Bro Watchman Nee kept reminding me. "Why do we work so much and pray so little when we can accomplish much more by our prayer than our work?" No mater how much we work outwardly, it's all depend on the Lord's blessing.

Just before the meeting start, i received the sms from gospel friends saying that they are not coming. Really felt disappointed that time. When it's the time to start the meeting, there is only one gospel friend. I had never encountered such poor condition. This make me even worry, i have no joy and lost my faith toward Him. I cant contact my friends who at first agree to come, then i went down to wait for them. I met a sis on my way back to the meeting place. I told her my worries, this sis was so calm, telling me that the meeting havent finish yet, it's possible for them to come before the meeting end. Thank God, as the meeting carried on, the saints and gospel friends continue to come. In this matter, the Lord really exposed me to see that how little my faith is.

There's a gospel friend whom we had contacted for a year++. I had never thought of her baptism and dont even dare to tell her about it. Last night the sisters approached her and encouraged her to get baptized. When i saw her face, she seems like so stress and told us that it's not the time yet. The problem is that she had believed, but she worried about her family. However, thank the Lord for the body. Through the coordination of body, we continue to encourage her, tell her about our testimony of baptism and even pray for her. After the prayer, we brought her into the room. When asked her to change her clothes, she still considered a lot and refused to do so. 那时我的信心又开始动摇。。姐妹们却不放弃，他们又继续打负担。Praise the Lord! He is the faithful and living one. Finally, she got baptized.

Luke 15: 6 " And when he comes into his house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost." All the brothers and sisters were so rejoice and they all were there testifying her baptism. After her baptism, she's full of joy. This morning, she had morning revival with us at sis hse. Praise the Lord for this vessel! May the Lord continue to gain her to have the normal church life.

Through this gospel meeting, I see that this is a body matter. Without the body, this meeting can hardly carry on. Really treasure the coordination of body. Also throughout this gospel meeting, I had learned the lesson of Faith. The lord exposed me again and again to see that how little my faith is. I'm too affected by the outward environment. 如果每个肢体都像我那么小信，我相信晓莉今晚就不可能受浸。那时就会很亏欠主了! Although not many gospel friends came, at least the Lord gain Sau Lee to enter into the Kingdom of God. "...there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance." (Luke 15:7) Everything happened is under His sovereign arrangement in order for us to experience Him!

"Lord, I praise You! Hallelujah! Glory be to You, my God! "
