A Brother's Special Fellowship

An elderly and matured brother who came to India four years ago had gone back to Taiwan last  week. The previous week he had fellowshipped with us some very precious points which are presented below according to my understanding. I was blessed to join the fellowship, because I took leave as I was not sure I could join the fellowship online as I was on the move. But the Lord sovereignly arranged a situation so that I could join and receive the precious fellowship. 

His fellowship(Br. Jk):

I was quite joyful to be in India, coordinating with all the brothers. I treasure the last four years in such a coordination, and all the experiences made quite an impact on me. I treasure more, all the saints in India, and that we can continue to move forward in one accord. I feel the key to the work in India is the one accord among the coworkers. If they can be so in one accord, it can bring the Lord's further blessing in India. Every week we need to treasure the Wednesday fellowship. Every week in this fellowship, we have three crucial items:

1. The Ministry Speaking

Through the speaking of the ministry, we can strengthen the burden from the ministry. The brothers may take the lead to enter into the ministry, and be constituted with the ministry. God's word is His move. His recent speaking is concerning the one new man - the goal of the Lord's recovery. The Lord's speaking is the Lord's up-to-date move. As coworkers, our main responsibility is to enter into His up-to-date speaking, so that we can bring the saints into the same one accord. 

2. Service Fellowship 

Service fellowship in each area speaks forth that our service is in the one Body. Although we are serving in different localities, we are all in the one flow. Through fellowship, we can pray and encourage one another, especially in the matter of the God Ordained Way; it is God's way to carry out His New Testament economy. Without this, the vision we have seen cannot be practically carried out. Not only we consider BNPB(Begetting, Nourishing, Perfecting, Building), but also PSRP(Pray-reading, Studying, Reciting, Prophesying). We enter into the truths so that the truths can be spread through us. Not only must we reach the peak of the high peak truth, but also the peak of propagation. These two are not separate things. These are the ways to spread the truths of the Lord's recovery to many other places. So, never separate the practice of the God Ordained Way from the high peak truth, because the intrinsic significance of the God Ordained Way is the high peak truth. Without the enjoyment of the Lord's up-to-date speaking, only practices are not what brother Lee wants. The enjoyment of the Lord's up-to-date speaking and the practice of the God-ordained way is the only way to carry out God's New Testament economy.

3. The Direction of Our Fellowship 

The direction of our fellowship is that we must raise up our next generation. This is why we have to fellowship on such item every week. There is a burden to raise up the next generation to enter into the Lord's speaking, live a God-man living, and to practice the God-ordained way. These are the three aspects of the new revival which will bring in the Lord's return. In our perfecting the next generation, we need to have a goal; to enter into the Lord's speaking, live a God-man living, and to practice the God-ordained way.

As coworkers, we need to be patterns in these three aspects: To be a pattern in labouring on the Lord's speaking, to be a pattern in labouring on the practice of the God-ordained way, and to be a pattern in perfecting the next generation.

Our Functions in Different Areas of Services

As we are serving in different areas, what must be our main function? We should learn to propagate, and also to perfect. We are not here to replace the functions of others. Wherever we are, there should be the continual increase of saints, districts, and testimonies in new cities. At the same time, we also need to learn to perfect others, especially, the younger ones. Wherever we are, we should emphasise these two matters:

1. Propagation

2. Perfecting the younger ones

Our Learning

Concerning our learning, we need to be persons with proper learning attitude, not being content with our situation now. The Lord's recovery is called the Lord's recovery because it is advancing. We should seek advancement in three matters:

1. Constitution of the Truth: Learn to preach and speak the high peak truth.

2. Growth in Our Divine Life: Pursue the growth in the divine life, especially, in the matter of coordination among the coworkers. All the spiritual experiences are finally for the building of God. In our coordination, our self, flesh, etc., will be dealt with.

3. Capacity of Our Service: We should all seek a definite breakthrough in our practice of the God-ordained way, and in our specific services. We all should be experts wherever we serve, whatever we serve. Experts are those who continually seek advancement and practice.

Be Humble to Learn

We all should be humble to learn from others, and from our elders and the more experienced ones, from our companions, and even from those who are younger than us. This depends on our attitude; the more we are humble and empty, the more we can receive. Even brother Lee at the age of ninety said that he was still learning. We should always be poor, empty, and unloaded in spirit.

Having a Definite Goal 

Wherever we are serving, we should open a new horizon. We should have a goal. A service without a goal will never advance. Brother Lee, in his service, has three beliefs:

1. Planning

2. Prayer, and 

3. God's blessings

So we all should set up a goal, a plan, and seek how to advance. Besides these, we also need to pray to seek His further blessing. For annual increase, we should have a goal; the increase rate for this year, number of baptisms, etc. Then our church life will be advancing

In the service of our entire country I feel there are two important aspects:

1. Perfect More Pillars: 

We should perfect more pillars. We should treasure the semi-annual trainings in India - the two times Serving Ones Training. This is an opportunity for more saints to be perfected, to enter into the Lord's present speaking, His present move, and that the saints can all be blended into one. We should encourage the saints and the serving ones to seize the opportunity to attend all these trainings. So we should also set up the goal for the attendance of Serving Ones Training. Through this, many can be perfected. 

The same goes for the semi-annual trainings for the full time serving ones. We hope that many more full timers and coworkers can be added and perfected. After the training for the full time serving ones, the training is not finished. We need to bring the burden to the responsible brothers' meeting, and then to every locality, we need to continue to fellowship these burdens, until it penetrates the entire Body. If we have different aspects of the perfecting trainings and goals in different localities, then it will be difficult to have the one testimony and one flow and one work.

So we must pay attention to the semi-annual Serving Ones Training and Full Time Serving Ones Training. This can produce the same burden to raise up the same testimony to bring the Lord's blessing.

Concerning the Chennai Land: 

All the brothers must be in one accord. This will be an important breakthrough in the work in this country. This is an important step to bring all the churches and saints into the one accord and one flow. Also, all the churches will experience a spiritual breakthrough: To offer up themselves and pour out what they have, so that the Lord can do a greater work. This can bring an unprecedented blessing from the Lord. We believe, after the construction of the blending center, the Lord will have a further blessing. More saints will be perfected and blended. Even the testimony of the Lord will be stronger; now we may have a 1, 000, but then we will have 10,000s. We must pray for this burden. May the Lord's latter glory far surpass the former glory.

Although I will return to Taiwan, I have the burden to come back to see you again. I will also bring more saints from Taiwan to blend with you all, and vice-versa. I hope to be such a spiritual bridge.

May we all advance in the one flow.

His message ended. Then we prayed for our brother JK, and the following week after this fellowship, in the Wednesday's fellowship, we prayed for him and for his service in the Body again as he returned back to Taiwan from India. 

Praise the Lord for such a brother as our pattern and from whom we can learn! May the Lord continue to bless his service in the Body, wherever he serves, whatever he serves.
