Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would eagerly learn the principles needed to bring people to the Lord and would practice these principles in order to learn the proper time and the proper way to reach people—to “catch the fish” (Acts 2:41; 4:4). The most important thing for a salesman is to create […]
Let us pray for the saints to learn to know the different kinds of people in order to reach them
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would learn to know the different kinds of people, just as fishermen know the categories of fish, so that they will know what kind of “bait” they need to attract people to Christ (John 3:1-6; 4:5-7, 9-10, 14-15). To properly classify people, we must have the right […]
Let us pray for the saints to see that their visiting people is their cooperation with the sanctifying Spirit to gain people
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that their visiting people is a preparation for the Holy Spirit to sanctify them and that they would contact people to afford the seeking Spirit a “line” to “hook” the lost sinners (1 Pet. 1:2 and note 2 – 5; 2 Thes. 2:13; Luke 15:8-10 […]
Let us pray for the saints to be vitalized personally and with companions so that they might “go fishing”
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would get vitalized personally and with a few co-laboring companions to the extent that they would “go fishing” to get some “new fish” (Dan. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:22). The elders should not try to form the groups in an organizational way. That does not work. They must […]
Let us pray for the saints to “go fishing” to contact people consistently until they gain someone
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that there are many sinners, many “fish” around them in the place where they live, and would “go fishing” — go contact them consistently week after week until they eventually gain someone (Matt. 4:19; Luke 5:10b). The Bible uses the illustration of fishing. To get […]
We have the Divine Right to Participate in God’s Life, Nature, Being, Image, and Glory
As believers in Christ, we experience God’s organic salvation, and we go up level by level until we become beings in the New Jerusalem; as God-men, we have the divine right to participate in what God is so that we may be made the same as Christ. The vision that God has shown us these […]
Let us pray for the saints to realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men, which requires contacting people patiently, again and again until they are “caught” unto life and brought out of the world into the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 4:18-20; Luke 5:9-10 and note 10-2; Acts 11:18).
