Our view and our vision need to be uplifted from seeing our own needs and the needs of others – to seeing God’s need, His heart’s desire, what makes Him happy. The truth is that if God gets what He desires, if we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matt. 6:33), all the other things will be given to us as well. God just wants Christ in Zion, He wants Zion with Christ – He does everything for His Christ, for His Zion, and for His house and His city in order that one day He might gain the entire earth through Christ with His overcomers. God is for this, and we are for this. This is God’s economy and His desire! [read more online]
God desires that we would be recovered back to living under His direct rule in life
In us who are in the kingdom of God as a realm of life, the divine life should be able to move into our mind, our thinking, our imagination, our memory, our reasoning, our thoughts, our emotions (what is stored, buried, accumulated there? What anger, what feelings, what pains are suppressed there?).

the reigning of Christ will be in righteousness and in justice, by which peace will be ushered in
Today we as believers in the Lord need to learn to submit to the Lord’s throne – we need to set Him as the King in righteousness in our being. As Matt. 6:33 says, we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the other things that we need will be added to us. The reality of the kingdom today is in the church life – here we learn to live out the righteousness expressed by keeping the new law of the kingdom. In other words, in the church life today we learn to live out Christ as our righteousness. When we live out Christ as our righteousness in the church life, we have peace!
God declares that He has installed Christ as the King in Mount Zion – Jesus is the King!
Psalm 2 is so rich, but as we read it and enjoy it, we may be one of the many believers who insert our own concept and our own understanding of this Psalm. May the Lord save us from being the wrong kind of person when we read the Bible – the kind of person […]
God desires that Christ might have the first place, the preeminence, in all things
In God’s eyes, Christ is the Beloved Son – He treasures Christ, gives everything to Christ, and Christ is His Favourite! Even more, according to Col. 1:15, Christ is the firstborn of all creation – He is the first in the old creation. In Col. 1:18 it says, And He is the Head of the […]
God needs us not to do great works for Him, but rather He needs us to eat Him and to drink Him
God desires that we would just enjoy Him! We see this clearly in the picture presented at both ends of the Bible: in the beginning, in Genesis, we see a man before the tree of life, and there’s a river that waters all the garden and reaches out to the whole earth! At the end […]
when we enthrone the Lord in our being and in all things, the river of living water flows freely in us!
In the book of Revelation, towards the end, there’s a call for everyone who is thirsty to come and drink! Hallelujah, there’s a river flowing from the throne of God, and this river of living water flows to reach everyone in the New Jerusalem & it goes on to reach everyone on the earth! Here’s […]
