Speaker: Minoru Chen, Since we are working in the Body, we should not serve in an individualistic isolated way, but are supported by & through the Body. We also need to realize that our real service is by prayer. The apostles/disciples had nothing back then to serve with except for prayer. Prayer is the trigger-point that causes all the other outward activities to be effectual. Although we have the Spirit, the Word, and the Body as the main factors of our service, our prayer is the...

Speaker: Minoru Chen, Within every serving one's life, a personal and private prayer life is most essential. The top example of this is displayed in the service of our Lord. Throughout His busy ministry, He regularly withdrew from the crowds, even the disciples, to pray to the Father in secret (Matt. 14:23). Today, we must exercise to have uninterrupted times with Him to know His will in detail and be refreshed in our commission. May we learn to pray, even for days (Luke 6:12), to gain an...

Speaker:  Minoru Chen, The object of our seeking and our pursuit is none other than God Himself. There comes a time when our serving outwardly may still be there but the inward seeking and pursuit has already stopped or paused. As full-timers have a seeking heart and a pursuing spirit, not the same as years ago but much more than ever. With this there will be a revival, there will be a renewal in our lives, in our service, even in the church life. Source: Southern California

In addition to keeping a good conscience, serving ones must also learn to exercise their mingled spirit. There is a problem among the full-timers today that we do not exercise our spirit enough in our service. The first point of contact in our coming and going should be our spirit, but unfortunately it is often our soul. This is because our spirit is too weak. We need to exercise our spirit so that it becomes the prominent part of our being, dominating our soul and directing us in how to...

Speaker: Minoru Chen, The key to serving the Lord is maintaining a good conscience. Without a good conscience, our faith leaks out, and a conscience full of offense invites the enemy’s accusations. Therefore, we need Christ as the breastplate of righteousness to protect our conscience. 1 Timothy 1:5 speaks of  a pure heart, a good conscience, and unfeigned faith. A good conscience and unfeigned faith go together, and such faith purifies the heart. Hence, serving the Lord is a matter of our...

Speaker: MC Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, / For from it are the issues of life. As full-time serving ones we must be active to guard our hearts. The condition of our heart determines the condition of our person and thereby the effectiveness of our service. If we are not diligent to maintain our heart in a proper condition, the issues of our life and service to the Lord will be stunted. In order to remain in a good condition, i.e. a condition in which our service is...

Speaker: Minoru Chen, As His serving ones today, we must cooperate with the seasons to grow. Because life is brief and our time and strength is limited, we must grasp the opportunity to number our days and gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). Furthermore, the real meaning of “full-time” goes beyond the mere name or outward schedule; rather, it is a person who lives Christ. They bear the three characteristics unveiled by Paul in Romans 12: presented, consecrated bodies (v. 1), renewed minds...
