a Christian = a God-man

We believers in Christ are God-men, the reproduction of Christ as the first God-man, to be those partaking of God’s life and nature and be one with God to express Him; the way we do this is by dying to live, that is, dying to the self so that Christ may live in us and be expressed through us. Lord Jesus, we want to live one spirit with You today. We open to You. Work Yourself into us. Constitute…

God’s intention in creating man and God’s purpose in man’s suffering is God’s economy with His dispensing for Him to make us a God-man expressing God in His attributes; for this, He works around us and within us so that we may become the corporate expression of the Triune God. Lord Jesus, we open to Your divine dispensing today. We want our vessel to be open to You. Have a way in our being. You…

God’s intention in His eternal economy is not to build us up in our perfection and integrity but to bring us into another realm, the divine realm, to regenerate us and then transform us and conform us to His image so that we may reflect God and express Him to others; for this, He tears down our natural man so that He might build up a renewed man in His nature and attributes. Lord Jesus, bring us…

Job was a good man expressing himself in his perfection, uprightness, and integrity, but he was not a man of God who had God as his life; we should not seek to be perfect or upright apart from Christ but rather, we need to be a man of God filled with Christ to gain God and be filled with God. Lord Jesus, we give up our striving and our struggling to be a perfect man. We renounce our desire to be…

As Job was going through so much suffering and loss, he realised that God has hidden these things in His heart, for there must be something in God’s heart concerning him; what is hidden in God’s heart is God’s economy to dispense Himself into us to be our everything for us to live Christ and express Christ. Lord Jesus, we love You and we open to You. Thank You for Your eternal intention to…

When we believers in Christ were regenerated, Christ planted Himself into us as the tree of life, and now we are branches of Christ, firmly grafted into Him; however, because we still live in the line of the tree of the knowledge, God is stripping and consuming us to rebuild us with Himself so that we may be God-men seeking God and living Christ. Lord Jesus, thank You for planting Yourself into…

As we enjoy the all-inclusive Christ as the tree of life, we live Christ and express Christ, and He is so rich to us; today we enjoy a foretaste of the tree of life, and the enjoyment of the tree of life will be the eternal portion of all of God’s redeemed! Praise the Lord for the tree of life, God in Christ as life to us in the form of food. We open to You today, dear Lord! We exercise our…

We need to see a vision of the tree of life – a vision of God in Christ as our food – so that we may realise that the tree of life is the center of the universe and Christ is the fulfillment of the tree of life, for He as the embodiment of God is the vine tree and the life – Christ is the tree of life. Lord Jesus, unveil us to see a vision of the tree of life. May we see what You see concerning…

God’s intention is to have persons who are on the line of life, those who eat the tree of life, live on the line of life, and do not rely on their own natural abilities, uprightness, or skills but fully depend on God as life to express God and represent God; for this, He allows a certain measure of suffering to strip us and reconstitute us with Himself. Lord Jesus, we give ourselves to You for…

The two trees – the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil – are two sources issuing in two ways of life and two principles of living which consummate in two ends; we want to eat the tree of life to live in the way of life according to the principle of life to consummate the New Jerusalem, God’s city of life. Lord Jesus, unveil us to see the tree of life and the tree of the…

In the divine revelation there are two trees, two sources, two ways, two principles, and two consummations; we need to see a vision of the two trees – the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil – and reject any knowledge, good, and evil apart from God Himself in Christ as the tree of life. Lord Jesus, grant us to see a vision of the tree of life. May we see that God in Christ…

In Daniel 6 we see how the enemy frustrates the prayer for God’s move, for Daniel prayed three times a day, and Satan wanted to stop this time of prayer; we can bring God’s economy into fullness and into fulfilment except by prayer, and we need to overcome to pray and pray to overcome. Lord Jesus, we give ourselves to pray, even to pray consistently. Make us those who pray one with You and one…

Like Daniel and his companions in chapter 5 of Daniel, we need to be victorious over the ignorance concerning the result of the debauchery before God and the insult to His holiness; instead of exalting ourselves before man and God, we need to exercise our spirit and have an excellent spirit, humble ourselves and honour God, for our very breath is in His hand. Lord Jesus, we love You, we worship…

Like Daniel and his companions, we need to be victorious over the covering that hinders people from seeing the ruling of the heavens by the God of the heavens; God administrates the universe to fulfill His purpose which is to give Christ preeminence in all things both outwardly and in our personal universe. Lord Jesus, we praise You and we honor You today. We give You the first place in all…

Like Daniel and his companions, we need to be victorious over the seduction of idol worship, realising that whatever is not the true God in our regenerated spirit is an idol replacing God; when we’re in the fire of suffering and persecution, the Lord is with us to make the fire a pleasant place to walk about. Lord Jesus, we love You and we serve You! Amen, Lord, we choose to worship You and serve…

We believers in Christ need to be victorious over the demonic diet given to us by the ruler of this age by eating Jesus for the building up of the church, and we need to be victorious over the devilish blinding preventing people from seeing the great human image and the crushing stone as the divine history within human history. Lord Jesus, make us Your overcoming saints today. May we be those who…

By building the church and entering into the church life, we are saved from God’s judgment on today’s evil generation and separated from this generation to usher in a new age; may we not be afraid to be different but remain in the divine revelation and minister the building and builded God into others for the building up of the church. Lord Jesus, we give ourselves to You today to just enjoy You,…
