For the perfecting of the saints unto the work of the ministry, unto the building up of the Body of Christ. Eph. 4:12
Dear saints, let us pray that the trainees would diligently practice the cultivation of their spiritual capacity in the preaching of the gospel, the nourishing of the young believers, the perfecting of the saints, and the prophesying of the word of God for the building up of the local churches, consummating in the building up of the Body of Christ (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 15:16; 1 Thes. 2:7; John 21:15b; Eph. 4:12; 1 Cor. 14:1, 4b).
A third purpose of the training is to raise up the trainees in the cultivation of their spiritual capacity in the preaching of the gospel, the nourishing of the young believers, the perfecting of the saints, and the prophesying of the word of God for the building up of the local churches, consummating in the building up of the Body of Christ (Matt. 28:19; 1 Thes. 2:7; Eph. 4:12; 1 Cor. 14:1, 4). This is to cultivate what we have by our spiritual birth. By regeneration there is a great capacity within us, and it needs to be cultivated.
