Sibu Aiport
I went to Sibu airport with Brother Virtue to fetch five brothers from West Malaysia. The journey was quite long. We went there by the gospel van at 1900 and arrived at Sibu Airport at 2000. Then we waited for the flight which landed at 2135. When we arrived at home, already 2400. However, I enjoyed Chirst throughout the journey. Hallelujah!

Jesus Is Lord
JESUS IS LORD!
Need we say more?
When you say:
"LORD JESUS!"
You’ve said it all!
"The Lord is rich to all who call upon His name."
(Romans 10:12)
OH LORD JESUS!
"And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon Your name." (Acts 9:14)
OH LORD JESUS!
"Every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:11)
OH LORD JESUS!
"Flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." (2 Timothy 2:22)

Believer of Christ Jesus
We are the believers of Christ Jesus, raised up by Him, Who care for the genuine oneness of the Body of Christ In practicing the church life according to the divine revelation, And are endeavoring to keep the oneness of the Spirit, By continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the apostles, With the view that we all may arrive at the oneness of the faith And of the full knowledge of the Son of God, At a full-grown man, At the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, That all the members of the body may function jointly and fittingly together in the body unto the building up of the body itself in love (Eph. 4:13-16).

Bible
The WORD Of GOD
The Bible is the Word of God. It is God breathed (2 Tim 3:16). Hence, we should not come to the Bible merely for knowledge, but to Christ (John 5:39,40) to experience and enjoy Him.
2. What God has spoken through the centuries has been written down in the Bible. This book is the very embodiment of God, of all that He is and all that He has accomplished. We can read, understand and accept it!
(Chapter 48, Life Messages by Witness Lee, published by LSM, Anaheim)
3. The Bible is the old-time book, the new time book, the all time book!
4. Martin Luther said, “ There is only one book- the Bible, and one Person, Jesus Christ in the world.” He is both the outline and the detail of the Bible.
(p.108, Volume 3, Collected Works of Watchman Nee, LSM, Anaheim)
5. Hudson Taylor when over 70 years of age said to one of his children, “ I have just finished reading the Bible through, today, for the fortieth time in forty years.”
(p.156, Faith¡¦s Venture, Hudson Taylor by Mrs. Howard Taylor, CIM, London)
6. George Muller said, “ I have read the Bible through one hundred times and found something new and inspiring every time.”
7. Around the age of 20, brother Watchman Nee read through the New Testament weekly for about one year. And Watchman Nee said in 1947, “ I have read the New Testament a few hundred times.”
(Chapter 1 of the Resumption of Watchman Nee’s Ministry, Volume 1, published by LSM, Anaheim)
8. On practical hints for reading the Bible Watchman Nee said, “ The Bible must be read daily and consecutively. It is best if the Old and New Testaments are read together. The reading should not be too fast but rather daily and systematically. If possible try to memorize one or two verses each day.”
9. On how to make the best use of the Bible, HY. Pickering said, “ (i) Read it through (ii) Pray it in (iii) Work it out (iv) Note it down (v) Pass it on.”
10. Brother Witness Lee testified his love for the Bible in his book, page 32, The Organic Aspect of God’s salvation, published by LSM, Anaheim:
When I was saved, I began to love the Bible and enjoyed reading the word of God. Whenever I read it, I was enlightened and sensed its incomparable sweetness. At that time I was not yet married. I loved the Bible to such an extent that every night after praying on my knees by my bed, I still would not put the Bible down. Rather, I would take the Bible with me to bed and place it by the pillow. After I read it again for a short while under the lamp, I felt so sweet. When I woke up in the morning, I would quickly reach for the Bible and read it. Of course, as I look back, I admit that was a grace given to me by God. By loving the Bible and longing for the milk in the word, I received the Lord’s feeding and shepherding.
11. One day during the time of his last illness, the doctors wanted to test how well brother Witness Lee’s mental faculties were functioning. They asked brother Lee to write down on a piece of paper the one thing that he loved the most. Without hesitation he wrote down, I love the Lord Jesus. Then he thought about it for a minute, and said, “Let me change it,” and proceeded to write, I love the Bible. To him, the things he loved the most were the Lord Jesus and the Bible, and both were equally precious to him.
(p.101, and p.102, “A God man’s death” published by LSM, Anaheim.)
12. Before reading the Bible, it is good to call on the Lord. Right away, the Written word of the Bible becomes the living word.
(Message 8, the Crystallization-Study of Romans, Witness Lee, published by LSM, Anaheim)
13. In Ephesians 6:17,18 the Apostle Paul said, “ receive… the word of God… by means of all prayer…” Hence, the most important of all, when we come to the Bible, we should pray-read His Word.

Lord’s Day Meeting
Today all the saints gathered at the meeting hall for meeting. I enjoyed the dispensing of the Triune God. I just open my whole being and He would dispense Himself into me. Hallelujah! Lord, I need Your dispensing everyday!
Acts 20:7
"And on the first day of the week, when we gathered together to break bread. Paul conversed with them since he was to go forth on the next day; and he extended his message until midnight."
We gather together on the first day of the week to break bread.

Youth Training
Tonight, I had a wonderful meeting at the church. The hymn really touched me.
Dearest Lord, I come;
This is now my pray,
keep me open to You,
May I always love You.
Lord, I love You more today, so much more than yesterday;
Lord, I need You,
Lord I love You.
Now that the choice is mine,
Lord, I still choose You;
Although the paths be not marked,
I’m still trusting You.
And if the way is hard,
If things don’t go my way,
Keep my heart soft to You,
Keep me open to You.
Dearest Lord, I pray,
Lead me every day;
Don’t let things come between,
Keep my eyes fixed on You.
When many years have gone,
And many things have passed,
I will still be for You,
I will still say to You.
Hallelujah! I give my first love to the Lord. I must exercise my Spirit every moment by calling His name.
Matthew 5:8
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
Dearest Lord, I come;
This is now my pray,
keep me open to You,
May I always love You.
Lord, I love You more today, so much more than yesterday;
Lord, I need You,
Lord I love You.
Now that the choice is mine,
Lord, I still choose You;
Although the paths be not marked,
I’m still trusting You.
And if the way is hard,
If things don’t go my way,
Keep my heart soft to You,
Keep me open to You.
Dearest Lord, I pray,
Lead me every day;
Don’t let things come between,
Keep my eyes fixed on You.
When many years have gone,
And many things have passed,
I will still be for You,
I will still say to You.
Hallelujah! I give my first love to the Lord. I must exercise my Spirit every moment by calling His name.
Matthew 5:8
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
