KNOWING HOW AND BEING ABLE TO FEED OTHERS

The main point in this message is the word feed. To feed is not to teach. We need something with which we can feed others, and we need to know the way to feed others. First we have to take care of some spiritual children, either some young believers, some new converts, or some unbelievers. Then we have to learn the lesson to prepare something to feed them with, and we have to learn the way to feed them.

It is not my intention merely to give some messages. Rather, this is a training. It is not enough to listen to these matters without practicing them. I beg you to put all these things into practice. From now on try to pick up a few spiritual children, and learn to feed them. Then you will see your shortage. Mothers learn by feeding their children. Whether someone knows the way of life and how to feed on the Lord Jesus will be tested by his feeding of others. Suppose that today we gain three spiritual children. We may not know how to feed them. We may say, “I have nothing to feed them.” Then we will see that we are short of feeding. What we feed others must be the thing that we have taken in and digested, just as mothers feed their children with the things they have taken in and digested. This is not to teach but to feed.

I like the word feed. The Lord Jesus did not say, “Take care of My lambs”; He said, “Feed My lambs.” Someone may say, “Now I am taking care of some young believers.” However, to take care is one thing, but to feed is another. Some brothers truly love the Lord and love others, and they take care of others. However, they take care of them without feeding them. If a new, young convert loses his job, a brother may help him to get another job. This is to take care of him, but there may be no feeding. To feed people is more than to take care of them. It is a matter of life. We have to feed on the Lord ourselves; then we will digest something of the Lord and will have something from within with which we can feed others. To feed others is a matter of life, just as for mothers to feed their children is a matter of life, not of knowledge or anything else. This is why the account in John 21 is not recorded in chapters seventeen, fifteen, or twelve. Even by chapter twelve Peter was not qualified. He was too short of life. Feeding others requires a certain amount of life.

We all have to pay attention to this matter. If the church life is proper and normal, we all will take care of some spiritual children and continually feed them. I say again, if we would try to practice in this way, we will discover our shortages. We will see that we are short of many spiritual experiences. If you would make the decision to feed two or three spiritual children, after only two weeks you will discover your shortages; you will see what you are lacking. Then you will seek the Lord in a proper way that you may learn how to feed on the Lord and how to feed others.

FEEDING OTHERS CAUSING OUR OWN PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED

This is a matter of feeding, not merely a matter of teaching. If we expect the church and the saints to grow unto maturity, we all must learn the lesson to take care of some spiritual children and feed them all the time. Otherwise, there will be no real growth among us. We should not simply meet here year after year, not increasing by caring for spiritual children. The increase of the church must be in the way of taking care of the “young goats.” If we do this, we will be right and balanced, and this will solve many problems.

It is too easy for young sisters and brothers who have no family and children to go to one another to “talk,” that is, to gossip, under the good pretense of fellowshipping in the Lord. This is actually fellowshipping in the way of gossiping. In the past I saw this too much. I tried my best in certain local churches to help these saints not to contact each other in this way. I even gave messages telling them, “If you are going to visit a brother, you first have to pray. You have to consecrate yourself to the Lord and seek the Lord's guidance, and you need to have the anointing within. Otherwise, you should not go.” Even though I gave strong messages about this, they did not have much effect. The young ones still had the stirring within them to gossip. This went on until those persons were married. Marriage is truly a bo***ge. The best way to be bound is to marry. After one year, one child came, and after two or three years, more children came. Then these sisters could no longer contact others to gossip. With three children, they did not have time even to sleep. When I saw this, I said, “Praise the Lord. Those children are better than my messages.” If we have spiritual children, we will have only responsibility, not gossip. We will not have enough time even to sleep. Everything will be exhausted by those children. This is good; praise the Lord for this!

In these few days I have exercised in my spirit to seek the Lord concerning what to speak in these messages. The Lord gave me the answer: “Tell them to have spiritual children. Then all their problems will be solved. The best way to solve their problems is to help them to have spiritual children. Then they will learn the lessons, and they will be able to avoid many negative things.”

In some parts of this country, people do not like to have children, because children are naughty and noisy. However, if you are going to choose a neighborhood to live in, do not choose one that has no children. People who insist on not having children are the hardest people to deal with. They often come to complain that you play the piano too loud or that your radio is on too high. I would rather live with people who have many children. Then they can play their piano, and I can sing my hymn. They can march, and I can jump, and no one will complain. The way to solve the brothers' and sisters' problems is to help them to have spiritual children. All those who seek the Lord without feeding others are the ones who create problems. If someone is indifferent, the church can easily deal with him, but the more someone is seeking without feeding others, the more problems he creates. The right way for people to solve their problems is to have spiritual children. Then they will know where they are, and they will know what responsibility is. Moreover, they will know what the real growth in life and the experience of life are.

HOLY WORD FOR MORNING REVIVAL
WEEK 2 — DAY 3

Morning Nourishment

1 Cor. 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am; and His grace unto me did not turn out to be in vain, but, on the contrary, I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I but the grace of God which is with me.

Gal. 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

We need to realize that the falls portrayed in the book of Genesis are the background of a very positive picture that shows what God has done with the fallen human race. The main purpose of the record of Genesis is not to show the fall but to show how much God’s grace can do for fallen people. Genesis 6:8 says, “But Noah found favor in the sight of Jehovah.” Favor can also be translated “grace.” Finding grace in the sight of the Lord is not a small thing. What does “finding grace” mean? Notice that this verse does not say that God was gracious to Noah or that Jehovah granted grace to Noah. No, it says that Noah found grace. Remember that Genesis is a book filled with spiritual seeds. Here, in 6:8, we have the first mention of grace in the Bible. Noah was able to be what he was because he found grace in the sight of Jehovah. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 371-372)

Today’s Reading

Hebrews 4:16 tells us to come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help. When I was young, nearly every day in my prayers I would say, “Lord, I am coming to the throne of grace. At Your throne of grace I find grace for my timely need. Lord, I need Your grace every minute. I not only need Your grace every year, every week, every day, and every hour but every minute. Without Your grace I simply cannot bear anything.” Today…I keep on telling the Lord, “Lord, I need Your grace every minute. I know that You are gracious and that You have grace ready for me. Lord, since grace needs my cooperation, I kneel before the throne of grace to find grace to meet my need.” Many times we simply cannot stand our situation, and we cannot face what is happening to us. However, there is a place called the throne of grace. Come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that you may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.

Grace is not only something given by God, but it is God Himself doing things for us. Grace is not merely something objective that is given to us by God. Grace is God Himself coming to us and doing things for us. Are you weak? God will come to be your strength, and that coming of God is grace. Are you unable to face your situation? That need not be a problem, because God will come to stand with you and face that situation for and in you. This is grace…God’s presence was Noah’s strength and power. Noah not only enjoyed something given to him by God objectively, but he enjoyed God Himself. In the midst of a crooked, perverted, and adulterous generation, a generation whose temptations no one could withstand, Noah found grace in the sight of Jehovah.

Consider the situation in modern society. I do not even dare to look at a newspaper. It contains too many temptations…I do not dare to look into the show windows…The talk you hear on the radio, at work, and at school is evil, corrupt, and devilish…This age is truly crooked, perverted, and adulterous; it is full of fornication and immorality. People talk about immorality without one bit of shame. Who can stand in such a generation? Not one of us is able to stand. We all have a fallen nature within us, the same evil nature that all men have. We need grace. We must come to the throne of grace boldly and say, “Lord, I am here. I need Your grace. I am not coming to ask You to give me good things. I am coming to find grace to meet my need. Lord, I cannot go to work or to school without Your presence. Lord, I cannot go to a department store without Your presence. Lord, I need You to stand with me. Come to be my strength. Lord, uphold me and sustain me.” (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 372-375)

Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your mind on the things which are above, not on the things which are on the earth.” The things above refer to the various aspects of Christ in His heavenly ministry: His being crowned with glory and honor (Heb. 2:9), His being made Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36), His being Head over all things to the church (Eph. 1:22-23), and His being the Forerunner (Heb. 6:19-20), the High Priest (Heb. 8:1; 4:14; 7:25), the heavenly Minister (Heb. 8:1-2), and the Lamb on the throne executing the divine administration (Rev. 5:6). We need to set our mind on these things. This means that we need to forget earthly things—culture, religion, philosophy, and natural human virtues—and instead lift up our eyes to the heavens and set our mind on the wonderful, excellent things, the things that are above. These things can cause us to be transformed, for they transmit a heavenly element into us. Therefore, we need to open our spirit and our whole being to the heavens that the divine transmission may flow into us unceasingly. Then the riches of Christ in His heavenly ministry will be transmitted into us, and we shall be transformed and constituted of Christ.
