二〇一六年春季國際長老及負責弟兄訓練
建造召會的事奉
第一篇 藉著認識這世代，領悟基督完成神經綸的路，看見世界局勢作神行動的指標，以及傳佈主恢復的真理爲著神的回來，而事奉神
壹 我們必須是認識這世代的人；這世代特指今天基督教的世代，尤其是相較於聖經的啓示，神聖的真理，以及真正、正確的神學而言：
貳 撒迦利亞書啓示，在神聖歷史中完成神經綸的路，乃是藉著基督這七倍加強的靈在我們靈裡，而召會的建造，要藉著基督這七倍加強之恩典的靈作爲恩典的頂石而得以完成
三 世界局勢是主在地上行動的指標
肆 主恢復之真理的傳佈，要豫備主的回來，好帶進以色列和整個創造的恢復和復興
第二篇 帶著異象，照著啓示，在身體中事奉，爲著建造神的家
壹 我們事奉神，必須有異象並照著啓示
貳 作爲在基督裡的信徒，我們是基督身體上的肢體，在身體中事奉神
三 我們的事奉是爲著建造神的家
第三篇 在神兒子的福音上，在我們的靈裡事奉神
壹 爲著新約裡所啓示與信徒有關的一切要求，特別是在宣揚神福音的事上，我們需要藉著經過過程之三一神的分賜，接受基督身體的神聖供應
貳 我們需要看見，我們在福音上事奉神就是敬拜神；在新約裡，事奉神與敬拜神實際上是相同的事
三 保羅說，他是『被分別出來歸於神福音的』，並且他宣告：『我在祂兒子的福音上，在我靈裡所事奉的神，可以見證我…』
肆 『神是靈；敬拜祂的，必須在靈和真實裡敬拜』
伍 『真受割禮的，乃是我們這憑神的靈事奉，在基督耶穌裡誇口，不信靠肉體的』
陸 我們要在神兒子的福音上事奉神，就需要看見我們是在肉體裡的人，一無價值，只配死與埋葬—這乃是跟隨主的榜樣，盡全般的義，而進入時代的職事
柒 我們在福音上爲主工作勞苦，不是憑我們天然的生命和才幹，乃是憑主復活的生命和大能；復活乃是我們事奉神的永遠原則
第四篇 出於神的事奉
壹 我們應該像亞伯拉罕那樣，相信神是獨一的源頭，是『稱無爲有的神』
貳 召會中一切的工作和事奉，都必須是神發起的，也必須是照著祂的心意
三 在林後三章五節和六節有事奉兩種不同的源頭
第五篇 事奉主者的人格
壹 最高的道德乃是人道加上神性；這就是神的神聖屬性彰顯在人被造的美德裡；這些高超的美德有七個主要項目
貳 基督該是我們的人格，而給人看出是在基督裡，乃是指我們的人格；我們乃是從在基督裡，變化到給人看出是在基督裡
三 我們要愛主，我們的人格才得到保障
肆 我們能從素祭看見耶穌的人性，素祭豫表在神人生活裡的基督；素祭也豫表我們的基督徒生活和召會生活，乃是基督之神人生活的翻版
伍 我們若喫基督作素祭，我們就要成爲我們所喫的，並且因我們所喫的活著；藉著運用我們的靈接觸具體化於話裡的那靈，我們就喫進耶穌的人性生命與生活，被耶穌所構成，耶穌的人性生活也就成了我們的人性生活
陸 因爲耶穌尚未在復活裡得著榮耀，所以還沒有的那靈，乃是有耶穌之人性的靈；今天那靈已經由耶穌那得著榮耀的人性所構成
柒 享受耶穌人性的路主要有五項
捌 我們必須爲整個主恢復的情形禱告，使眾弟兄姊妹在地方召會中豐滿的享受耶穌的人性
第六篇 事奉的根據—祭壇的火
壹 神乃是烈火
貳 人對神一切的事奉，都必須根據於燔祭壇上的火
三 我們絕不可用凡火事奉神，乃要用祭壇上的火
肆 我們若要事奉神，就不可銷滅那靈，反要將我們靈裡神的恩賜如火挑旺起來，並要靈裡火熱
第七篇 照著神的心和旨意禱告而事奉神
壹 在宇宙中有三個意志：神的意志、撒但的意志以及人的意志；神要得著人的意志與祂合起來，與祂是一，好叫人在禱告中彰顯並響應祂的旨意，爲著祂的喜悅
貳 哈拿的禱告乃是回應、說出神的心願，是人與神的行動合作，爲要完成神永遠的經綸
三 以利亞是『與我們性情相同的人，他在禱告裡禱告』
肆 但以理是一個禱告的人，藉著神的話語，聯于神的心意；只有把自己聯在神話語上，禱告神經綸之禱告的人，在神的手裡才有真實的用處
伍 亞伯拉罕活在與神親密的交通中，成爲神的朋友；甚至在成肉體以前，耶和華作爲基督，就在人的形狀裡，帶著人的身體，向亞伯拉罕顯現，在人的水平上與他來往
陸 主在馬太六章給門徒禱告的示範，這樣的禱告表達神的旨意
第八篇 供應生命的事奉
壹 身爲在基督裡的信徒和神的兒女，我們不只擁有並能經歷永遠的生命，還能將這生命供應給基督身體上其他的肢體
貳 供應生命就是分賜生命；我們有生命的富餘時，才能將這富餘供應給人
三 建造神家的事奉乃是供應生命的事奉—將神聖生命供應給人的事奉
肆 作爲事奉神的人，我們需要深深銘記，我們必須能供應生命
伍 事奉該是生命的流露
陸 我們要供應生命給人，就需要提防死亡對召會的攻擊

SERVICE
FOR THE BUILDING UP OF THE CHURCH
Message One Serving God by Knowing the Age, by Realizing
the Way Christ Fulfills His Economy, by
Seeing the World Situation as the
Indicator of His Move, and by Spreading the
Truths of the Lord’s Recovery for
His Coming Back
I. We need to be those who know the age of
today’s Christianity
in a particular way, especially in relation
to the revelation of the
Scriptures, the divine truths, and the
genuine and proper theology
II. The book of Zechariah reveals that the
way to fulfill God’s
economy in the divine history is by Christ
as the sevenfold intensified Spirit
in our spirit and that the building of the
church will be consummated by Christ
as the sevenfold intensified Spirit of
grace to be the topstone of grace
III. The world situation is the indicator
of the Lord’s move
on earth IV. The spreading of the truths of
the Lord’s recovery will be a
preparation for the Lord’s coming back to
bring the recovery and restoration
not only to Israel but also to the entire
creation
IV. The spreading of the truths of the
Lord’s recovery will be
a preparation for the Lord’s coming back to
bring the recovery and restoration
not only to Israel but also to the entire
creation
Message Two Serving with a Vision, according to
Revelation, and in the Body for the
Building Up of the House of God
I. Our service to God must be with a vision
and according to
revelation
II. As believers in Christ, we are members
of the Body of Christ,
and we serve God in the Body
III. Our service is for the building up of
the house of God
Message Three Serving
God in Our Spirit in the Gospel of His Son
I. For all the requirements related to the
believers
revealed in the New Testament, especially
that of announcing the gospel of God,
we need to receive the divine supply of the
Body through the dispensing of the
processed Triune God
II. We need to see that our service to God
in the gospel is our
worship to God; in the New Testament,
serving God is actually the same as
worshipping God
III. Paul says that he was “separated unto
the gospel of
God” , and he declares, “God is my witness,
whom I serve in my spirit in the
gospel of His Son”
IV. “God is Spirit, and those who worship
Him must worship
in spirit and truthfulness”
V. “We are the circumcision, the ones who
serve by the Spirit
of God and boast in Christ Jesus and have
no confidence in the flesh”
VI. In order to serve God in the gospel of
His Son, we need to
see that we are men in the flesh, worthy of
nothing but death and burial; this
is to follow the Lord’s pattern to fulfill
all righteousness and enter into the
ministry of the age
VII. Our work and labor for the Lord in the
gospel are not by
our natural life and natural ability but by
the Lord’s resurrection life and
power; resurrection is the eternal
principle in our service to God
Message Four The Service That Is from God
I. Like Abraham, we should believe in God
as the unique source,
as the One who “calls the things not being
as being”
II. All our work and service in the church
must be initiated
by God and must be according to His desire
III. In 2 Corinthians 3:5 and 6 there are
two different sources
of service
Message Five The Humanity of One Who Serves the Lord
I. The highest morality is one in which
divinity is added to
our humanity; this is the divine attributes
of God expressed in the created
virtues of man; there are seven major items
of these excellent virtues
II. Christ should be our humanity, and to
be found in Christ
refers to our humanity; we are transformed
from being merely in Christ to being
found in Christ
III. Our humanity is safeguarded through
our loving the Lord
IV. We can see the humanity of Jesus in the
meal offering, which
typifies Christ in His God-man living; the
meal offering also typifies our
Christian life and church life as a
duplication of Christ’s God-man living
V. If we eat Christ as the meal offering,
we will become
what we eat and live by what we eat; by
exercising our spirit to touch the
Spirit consolidated in the Word, we eat the
human life and living of Jesus, we
are constituted with Jesus, and the human
living of Jesus becomes our human living
VI. The Spirit, who was not yet because
Jesus had not yet been
glorified in resurrection, is the Spirit
with the humanity of Jesus; the Spirit
today has been constituted with the
glorified humanity of Jesus
VII. The way to enjoy the humanity of Jesus
is by five main
items
VIII. We must pray for the entire situation
of the Lord’s recovery
so that all the brothers and sisters in the
local churches may have a full
enjoyment of the humanity of Jesus
Message Six The Basis of Service—the Fire from the Altar
I. God is a consuming fire
II. Every service to God must be based on
the fire from the altar
of burnt offering
III. We must not serve God with strange
fire but with the fire
from the altar
IV. If we would serve God, we should not
quench the Spirit but
fan into flame the gift of God, which is in
our spirit, and be burning in
spirit
Message Seven Serving God by Prayer according to His Heart
and Will
I. In the universe there are three wills:
the divine will,
the satanic will, and the human will; God
wants man’s will to be joined to Him
and to be one with Him so that man may
express and echo His will back to Him in
prayer for His good pleasure
II. Hannah’s prayer was an echo, a speaking
out, of the heart’s
desire of God; it was a human cooperation
with the divine move for the carrying
out of God’s eternal economy
III. Elijah, “a man of like feeling with
us,...prayed in prayer”
IV. Daniel was a man of prayer who was joined
to God’s desire
through God’s word; only those who join
themselves to God’s word to pray
prayers of God’s economy can be of real use
to God
V. Abraham lived in intimate fellowship
with God and became
God’s friend; even before the incarnation,
Jehovah as Christ appeared to
Abraham in human form, with a human body,
and communed with him on a human level
VI. The pattern of prayer that the Lord
taught the disciples
in Matthew 6 is the prayer that expresses
God’s will
Message Eight A Life-ministering Service
I. As believers in Christ and children of
God, we not only have
eternal life and may experience eternal
life, but we can minister this life to
other members of the Body of Christ
II. To minister life is to impart life;
when we have a
surplus of life, we can minister from this
supply to others
III. The service for the building up of the
house of God is
a life-ministering service—a service of
supplying others with the divine life
IV. As serving ones, we need to be deeply
impressed with the
necessity of being able to minister life
V. To minister is to have the outflow of
life
VI. If we would minister life to others, we
need to be aware
of the attack upon the church by death
