Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is good for building up, according to the need, that it may give grace to those who hear. Eph. 4:29
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that as Christ, the firstborn Son of God, is the Word of God—God’s oracle for the speaking and dispensing of God—they, His brothers, as members of the Word of God, are also God’s oracle, speaking and dispensing God for the spreading of God and the increase of Christ (Rom. 8:29; John 1:1; 3:29a, 30, 34; 6:63; Eph. 4:29 and note 29-3; Col. 4:6; 1 Pet. 4:11a).
As the firstborn Son of God being the Word of God (John 1:1) is God’s oracle for the speaking and dispensing of God to carry out His eternal economy, so the many sons of God being members of the Word of God are God’s oracle, speaking and dispensing God for the spreading of God and the increase of Christ. The firstborn Son of God is the oracle of God, and we are the many sons. This means that all the sons are God’s oracle so that God may have a spread and Christ may have an increase…
In the four Gospels we see Jesus living the life of a God-man, and in Acts we see the disciples also living such a life. Because they had been discipled by the Lord, He told them that they would be His witnesses. They were also the members of Christ, the parts of Christ, to spread God, multiply Christ, and increase Christ. Three critical words in this chapter are spreading, multiplication, and increase. God’s spreading, Christ’s multiplication, and Christ’s increase are by our speaking the word of God to dispense Christ as life for the producing and building up of the Body of Christ.
