Message Seven
Our Need to Labor on the All-inclusive Christ to Have
the Produce to Exhibit Christ in the Church and to Have
a Surplus of Christ to Bring to the Church Meetings
for the Corporate Worship of God Our Father
OPENING WORD OF THE PROPHESYING MEETING
Reading the verses in each day.
Reading the main points in the outlines.
Pray-reading the verses:
1 Cor. 14:26 What then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
John 4:23-24 …The true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truthfulness, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truthfulness.
Word of Appetizer
How should we labor on the all-inclusive Christ to have the produce to exhibit Christ in the church?
Exercising our spirit is the key to laboring on Christ, experiencing Christ, and producing Christ; the way to labor on Christ is to exercise our spirit to contact the Spirit, the reality of the all-inclusive Christ as the good land; we labor on Christ as the good land by exercising our heart to have faith in the Lord and to love the Lord and by exercising our spirit to contact the Lord and to receive the dispensing of the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, the reality of Christ as the good land.
Spiritual Burden
Every morning we need to pray, asking the Lord for the day’s portion of grace and consecrating ourselves to the Lord for the purpose of experiencing and enjoying Him by laboring on Him; throughout the day we need to maintain our fellowship with the Lord and thereby contact Him, labor on Him, apply Him, experience Him, and enjoy Him.
If we faithfully labor on the all-inclusive Christ, we will have the riches of Christ as the produce to exhibit Christ in the church.
Concluding Word of the Prophesying Meeting
The Revelation of the Truth
As believers in Christ who have been led by Christ into Himself as the good land typified by the land of Canaan, we need to labor on Christ.
If we faithfully labor on the all-inclusive Christ, we will have the riches of Christ as the produce to exhibit Christ in the church.
We need to labor on the all-inclusive Christ in order to have a surplus of Christ to bring to the church meetings for the corporate worship of God our Father.
The Experience of Life
Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.
The life we live after entering into Christ as the good land is a life of laboring on Christ; we are in a very rich land, but if we do not labor on it, there is no produce for us to experience and enjoy; a life in the all-inclusive Christ as the good land is a life of laboring on Christ, producing Christ, enjoying Christ, sharing Christ with others, and offering Christ to God the Father that He may enjoy Christ with us.
Practice and Application
Every morning we need to pray, asking the Lord for the day’s portion of grace and consecrating ourselves to the Lord for the purpose of experiencing and enjoying Him by laboring on Him.
Whenever we come together, regardless of the kind of meeting we are having, we should come with the Christ experienced by us as the surplus to be offered to God and exhibited to the whole universe and to the enemy, putting him to shame.
Daily, we should labor on Christ to have a harvest of Christ’s riches to bring to the church meetings for the corporate worship of God the Father.
