Becoming the reproduction of Christ as the meal offering church life today

In Leviticus 2:1-13 we see the meal offering, which was ordained by God for the people of Israel – for God’s satisfaction. The meal offering was composed of fine flour mingled with oil, and frankincense on top of it. Also, salt needs to be added – salt shouldn’t be missing from the offering. This type was fulfilled in the person of the Lord Jesus, who had the highest humanity (the fine flour) mingled with divinity (the oil, the Spirit of God), living by the resurrection life and manifesting the aroma of resurrection (frankincense), and always living under the cross (the salt). Today we want to see MORE about each of these elements and how we can experience them, enjoy them, and become the reproduction of Christ as the meal offering church life....

A genuine church is a meal offering church life with the fine humanity of Christ

Seeing what it means to be a genuine church in the focus of the Lord’s recovery

This week is the last of the 6 in a series on, The Focus of the Lord’s Recovery. What is the focus of the Lord’s recovery? Also, what is the difference between being a Christian in the Lord’s recovery and being a Christian in general somewhere else under any other name / denominational umbrella? What is the Lord’s recovery? Is the Lord’s recovery a movement, a sect, a denomination, the name of the move started by Watchman Nee and Witness Lee? Oh, Lord Jesus… we need to see something much higher than the outward matters – we need to see the focus of the Lord’s recovery and be a genuine church in the focus of the Lord’s recovery!...

Building up the Body of Christ by the Function of Every Member

The New Testament reveals that Christ is building the church not by Himself directly, but rather in and through all the members of His Body....

Man ate the tree of knowledge yet God came to save man

Instead of partaking of the tree of life, man ate of the tree of knowledge. When man ate of that tree, he not only made a mistake and disobeyed God, but something far more serious occurred. He received sin (the life of Satan) into his being (Romans 5:12). As a result, God had to close the way to the tree of life lest man live forever in his fallen condition (Genesis 3:22-24). Yet God, because of His great love toward us, never abandoned His original intention. One day He came out of eternity and entered into time to become a man by the name of Jesus Christ...

preaching a high and uplifted gospel according to the Bible

Many times most of us think “oh, maybe people can’t really understand the gospel if we preach it in such a high way” – and on the other side, many of the people that are not saved think “why believe in such a watered-down and not-so-high gospel, that tells you to get saved to go to heaven?” We’re all guilty of this, on the one or on the other side… The truth of the matter is that God created man in His image and His likeness and man can understand the things concerning God and man is even hungry to know about God and to receive God...

loving the Lord with our first love = giving Him the first place in all things

Continuing the thought from the previous post(“why this waste”), what does it mean to love the Lord? In Mark 12:30 it says “you shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart and from your whole soul and from your whole mind and from your whole strength”. Also, in Matt. 26 – where Mary poured out her love offering upon the Lord Jesus – the Lord seemed to be saying “Yes, you have the poor, and you will always have them: now you have to take care of Me! I am here – pay attention to Me!“ The Lord Jesus, God incarnated, is the most lovely and wonderful Person: He is so attractive in expressing the divine attributes through His human virtues...

Why this waste? Wasting ourselves upon the Lord…

This is the goal of the gospel – that loving the Lord Jesus with the first love we would pour out upon Him what is most precious to us – even our most costly and valuable spiritual treasures! Just wasting ourselves upon Him! We see this in Matthew 26:6-12 where the Lord Jesus was invited to eat at Simon’s house, and a woman came and poured out an alabaster flask filled with ointment upon Him. That ointment was very precious (more than 1 year’s work pay worth) – yet she simply “wasted” it on the Lord. That’s when one of the disciples asked this question:

we can't: He can!

Even if we think that we can, we actually cannot and will not make it – without Him! Man was created as a vessel to contain God, and as we receive Him into us, we also become, little by little, like Him!...
