As believers in Christ who are learning to shepherd the saints according to God, we need to live God, be one with God, shepherd according to God's nature and desire, and even become the same as God in life and nature to be the reproduction of Christ, being one with God in our shepherding. Lord Jesus, we open to You! We love You! We want to be one with You! You are the Great Shepherd. You are the good Shepherd. You are the Chief Shepherd. You are in us. Reproduce Yourself in us.

Our dear Lord Jesus Christ, whom we love and to whom we open day by day, is the good Shepherd, the great Shepherd, the Chief Shepherd, and the Shepherd of our souls; we are His sheep, and we are under the tender care of our Shepherd day by day, both directly and indirectly, being under the shepherding of His deputy shepherds, the elders. Amen, Lord, we love You as our Shepherd! We open to Your shepherding today. You know the real situation of our being. You know our real condition in our inner being.

The more we believers in Christ are constituted with Christ, the more we will spontaneously live a shepherding life, having the burden to take care of others, and ministering the Christ constituted into us to them; may we learn to shepherd the flock of God according to the Father's tender heart and the seeking and shepherding Spirit of our Saviour Christ. Amen, Lord, may we be those who live a shepherding life day by day. Reproduce Your life and living in us. Live in us as the Shepherd. We give ourselves to You to be constituted with You so that we may be filled with You and spontaneously shepherd others.

In the church life in the Lord's recovery today there's an urgent need of shepherding, for shepherding is crucial for our growth in life unto maturity for the building up of the Body and mutual shepherding builds up the Body of Christ. Amen, Lord, we open to Your shepherding today. We open to You and we open to the saints You put us with. May there be much mutual shepherding among us in the church life. Thank You for coming to shepherd us day by day. We open to be shepherded by You and by the saints so that we may grow in life unto maturity for the building up of the Body of Christ!

In the epistles of Peter we see the matter of shepherding according to God; shepherding is to take all-inclusive tender care of the flock, taking care of all the needs of the sheep, and shepherding includes cherishing and nourishing, being like a nursing mother and an exhorting father. Amen, Lord, may we open to Your shepherding today. Shepherd us and bring us on with You to love You. Amen, Lord, we love You. You know that we love You. We want to be one with You to shepherd others also.

In Daniel 10 we see the vision of the excellent Christ, who appeared to Daniel in His supreme preciousness as a man, and this was for Daniel's appreciation, consolation, encouragement, and stabilisation; we need to redeem the time to enjoy Christ as the supreme preciousness of God to be constituted with Him today and be men of preciousness. Amen, Lord, we want to enjoy You today! Continually unveil us to see the all-inclusive Christ, even as the One who is the supreme preciousness of God! Appear to us, Lord, and infuse us with what You are.

When we see the Lord, when we see who He is, we are terminated, finished, and we deny ourselves and abhor ourselves, for we are men of unclean lips, so we repent and are purged by God; seeing God issues in gaining God, for when we see who He is, we gain Him and partake of what He is to become like Him! Amen, Lord, we want to see You today! Unveil us to see who You are. May we see Your beauty, Your holiness, Your righteousness, and Your glory.

We need to see the vision of Christ in glory even in our depression, for no matter how corrupted or rebellious God's people are, Jesus Christ as the God-man is still sitting on a high and lofty throne, and when we turn our heart to Him, we are infused with Him and healed of our sickness! Oh Lord, may we see the vision of Christ in glory! May we lift up our eyes from where we are, look up to You, and see Jesus Christ as the enthroned God-man! Hallelujah, there is a Man in the glory, and the God-man Jesus is still on the throne!

The apostle Peter saw that Christ Himself is the preciousness to His believers, and he was charmed by the Lord to such an extent that, no matter how many times the Lord rebuked him, he still followed the Lord; we need to see Christ as the preciosness to us and enjoy His precious promises, His precious blood, the precious faith, and even the precious proving of our faith. Lord Jesus, unveil us to see You! Attract us and captivate us. We just open to You. Cause us to see that Christ is the preciousness to His believers!

We need to ask the Lord to grant us the light to have a thorough change in our concept of value so that, day by day, we may continually choose Christ and all that He is as our super-excelling portion, for we treasure Christ above all things, even above our relatives, family members, and even more than our apportioned food! Oh Lord Jesus, cause us to see You more so that we may have a fuller appreciation of who You are. Unveil us to see the Lord Jesus, the most wonderful One!

As believers in Christ, we need to have a change in our concept of value, which can be seen in our estimation and assessment of Christ in His full salvation, we now value Christ, treasure Christ, and seek Christ, and we love what He loves, treasure what He treasures, and desire what He desires. Oh Lord, may we have a change in our concept of value. May we love what You love and treasure what You treasure. May we be those who treasure Christ above all other things! Show us Your preciousness, Lord, and bring us into an appreciation of what You are!

Jesus is the Perfecter of our faith; He's not only the Author but also the Finisher, the Completer of our faith, and we need to cooperate with Him daily to contact the living God so that we may have Him increased in us, for the way to receive faith is to contact its source, Christ Himself, by calling on Him, praying to Him, and pray-reading His word. Oh Lord, thank You for initiating our faith, infusing us with faith, causing us to grow in faith, perfecting our faith, and even completing our faith!

Faith is to believe that God is and we are not, for he who comes forward to God must believe that He is; without faith it is impossible to please God, for if we still are, then God cannot be everything to us. Oh Lord, we love You! You are everything to us. We give ourselves to You. We take You as our life. Live in us. We don't want to live in and by ourselves. We just want to live Christ. May You be everything to us in our daily life today!

Faith is a substantiating ability by which we substantiate the things unseen and hoped for; faith is a sixth sense by which we give substance to the things related to God, for we don't regard the things seen but the things not seen, the eternal things related to God. Amen, Lord Jesus, we exercise our spirit of faith today! We want to know You, enjoy You, and partake of what You are so that we may know You intimately, even experience You in our daily living! Amen! Faith is not of us; it originates with Christ, for Jesus is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

The Lord Jesus is the Author of faith; He is the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith, for our faith as believers is not our own faith but Christ being infused into us to be our faith, even to be our believing ability as we look to Him and are infused with Him. Oh Lord Jesus, we look away from everything else unto You! Infuse us with Yourself as our faith! We love You and we open to You! We acknowledge that we have no faith in ourselves, but we open!

The Christian life is a race, and every saved Christian must run the race with endurance to win a prize; we all need to put aside any encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and we need to ask the Lord to direct our heart into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ. Amen, Lord, thank You for bringing us into this race in the Christian life! You are our way! We exercise our spirit to run the race today! Amen, Lord, we want to run the race with endurance by looking away unto Jesus!

We believers in Christ are those who are daily, even moment-by-moment looking away unto Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of our faith, for we look away from all the things in our environment and of our background and unto Jesus to enjoy Him and be infused with Him! Amen, Lord, we look away unto You right now! Hallelujah, looking away unto Jesus! We do not look at the things around us or at our problems: we turn our eyes and look unto Jesus! Infuse us more with Yourself today!

For us to be led into glory as the many sons of God, we need to have the Lord's presence in our midst, and we need to be the Lord's companion, having the closest and most intimate relationship with God, sharing a common interest with God, and being used by Him to carry out His enterprise on earth. Amen, Lord, make us such ones! We want to be Your companions today! We open to You and we want to speak to You face to face! We love You, Lord! May we be intimate with You, knowing Your heart, and being joined to You in Your enterprise on earth today!

After the children of Israel worshipped the golden calf, Moses moved to a place outside the camp, where the Lord's presence was with him, and all who sought God came to his tent to receive God's presence and speaking; we need to beware of idolatry in all its forms and come outside the camp to Jesus. Oh Lord Jesus, shine on us! Save us from camping where idolatry is. Save us from being in our mind. Save us from being religion. We just want to touch You, enjoy You, and worship You!

We believers in Christ need to enter within the veil and go outside the camp; to enter within the veil is to enter into the Holy of Holies, that is, be in our spirit to enjoy Christ, and to go outside the camp is to be outside of religion, which rejects Jesus. Amen, Lord, may we be those who enter within the veil and go outside the camp! Save us from remaining in any camp of religion. Save us from not entering into the Holy of Holies! We exercise our spirit and we choose to turn to You to enjoy You and partake of all Your riches!

Christ as the Author of salvation leads many sons into glory by being our High Priest to pray for us and to minister God into us, and also by saving us organically through sanctification, for the sanctifying Spirit in our spirit carries out the divine sanctification in us. Thank You, Lord, for taking the lead to enter into glory and now leading us into glory! Praise the Lord, we are being sanctified daily so that we may enter into the glorious expression of the Triune God! Hallelujah! Our Christian life is a life of looking away unto Jesus, who has gone before us and who took the lead to enter into glory!

Christ is the Author, the Captain, the Pioneer, the Forerunner, and He took the lead to enter into glory, and we now as His followers are taking the same way to be brought into the same glory; He came into us as the seed of glory, and He is growing in us and transforms us into His glorious image. Thank You, Lord, for coming into us as the seed of glory! We praise You! We love You! We give You more ground in us to grow in us and make us as glorious as You are!

God's eternal goal is to bring many sons into glory, and Christ is the Captain of our full salvation into glory, for He took the lead to pioneer the way into glory, crossing the river and entering within the veil to be the man in the glory! Hallelujah, there's a Man in the glory, and we believers in Christ are being saved into glory! Praise the Lord, we are sons of God being transformed and conformed to the image of Christ so that we may be brought into the full expression of God corporately!

For the church to be in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ means that the church is in the processed Triune God, where the Father is the source and the One who purposes, the Son is the One who accomplishes the Father's plan, and the Spirit applies everything to our being as the church. Hallelujah for the church in the Triune God! Lord, may we not take it for granted that the church is in the Triune God! May we abide in the Lord and let Him abide in us!

The church is in the Triune God; we need to see who the Triune God is, realise that He is One yet three, distinct but not separate, coexisting and coinhering mutually, and we need to enjoy and experience the Divine Trinity of the Triune God in our daily living. Amen, Lord, enlighten us to see the Triune God and bring us into the enjoyment of the Divine Trinity! Dispense Yourself into us more today! We open to Your divine dispensing in Your Divine Trinity! We love You, Lord, as the Triune God!
