四 神的祝福内在的与一有关—诗一三三1、3： |
Ｄ God’s blessing is intrinsically related to oneness—Psa. 133:1, 3: |
１ 一节提到的和睦，乃是一幅新约真正的一的图画；这一乃是经过过程并终极完成的三一神，与在基督里的信徒相调和—约十七21~23。 |
１ The unity spoken of in verse 1 is a picture of the genuine oneness in the New Testament; this oneness is the processed and consummated Triune God mingled with the believers in Christ—John 17:21-23. |
２ 诗篇一百三十三篇三节的“在那里”，乃指一，其上有耶和华所命定的福，就是永远的生命。 |
２ There in Psalm 133:3 refers to the oneness upon which the Lord commands the blessing—life forever. |
五 主在祂借着生命的恢复里，借着祂的牧养，带我们进入对祂祝福的享受中，并使我们在赐福的雨下成为福源—结三四23、26~27上、29，亚十1： |
Ｅ Through His shepherding in His recovery by life, the Lord brings us into the enjoyment of His blessing and causes us to become a source of blessing under the showers of blessing—Ezek. 34:23, 26-27a, 29; Zech. 10:1: |
１ 首先，我们自己得享主的祝福；然后，主要使我们成为别人的福源，叫别人也得着供应—结三四26。 |
１ First, we ourselves enjoy the Lord’s blessing, and then the Lord will cause us to become a source of blessing to others so that they may be supplied—Ezek. 34:26. |
２ 神必叫赐福的雨按时落下—亚十1。 |
２ God will cause the showers of blessing to come down in season—Zech. 10:1. |
六 最大的祝福，不是主给我们什么，乃是主把我们作成什么，就是祂使我们能成为什么—启三12： |
Ｆ The greatest blessing that we receive from the Lord is not what the Lord gives us; it is what the Lord makes us, what He enables us to become—Rev. 3:12: |
１ 主在启示录三章十二节的应许，乃是叫得胜者在神殿中作柱子： |
１ The Lord’s promise in Revelation 3:12 is to make the overcomer a pillar in the temple of God: |
ａ 成为神殿中的柱子，包含变化和建造—二一22，林后三18，弗二21~22，四16。 |
ａ Becoming a pillar in the temple of God involves transformation and building—21:22; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 2:21-22; 4:16. |
ｂ 主变化我们，并把我们建造到祂的殿中，乃是极大的祝福；这关系到我们这个人，关系到我们在基督里的所是—西一27~28。 |
ｂ It is a great blessing for the Lord to transform us and build us into His temple; this involves our being, what we are in Christ—Col. 1:27-28. |
２ 我们若看见这异象，就会领悟在召会生活中，主的心意不是要在我们外面作些什么，乃是要使我们变化成另一种所是，作祂团体的彰显—启二一10~11。 |
２ If we see this vision, we will realize that in the church life the Lord’s intention is not to do something outside of us but to transform us into another kind of being for His corporate expression—Rev. 21:10-11. |
３ 在召会生活里，我们不该盼望得着外面的祝福；重要的是我们要领悟，主的祝福是要把我们变化成为珍贵的材料，然后把我们建造到祂的居所里—弗二21~22。 |
３ In the church life we should not expect outward blessings; rather, it is crucial for us to realize that the Lord’s blessing is to transform us into precious material and then build us into His dwelling place—Eph. 2:21-22. |
七 正常的基督徒生活乃是蒙福的生活，正常的基督徒工作乃是蒙福的工作—民六23~27，太五3~11，二四46，约二十29，加三14，林后九6，罗十五29。 |
Ｇ The normal life of a Christian is a life of blessing, and the normal work of a Christian is a work of blessing—Num. 6:23-27; Matt. 5:3-11; 24:46; John 20:29; Gal. 3:14; 2 Cor. 9:6; Rom. 15:29. |
八 我们必须领悟，在我们的工作、我们的基督徒生活和我们的召会生活中，一切都在于主的祝福—弗一3，玛三10。 |
Ｈ We must realize that in our work, in our Christian life, and in our church life, everything depends on the Lord’s blessing—Eph. 1:3; Mal. 3:10. |
九 我们需要祷告：“主，求你给我们异象，叫我们看见什么叫作祝福，并怜悯我们，叫我们毫无拦阻的作一个蒙你祝福的人。” |
Ｉ We need to pray, “Lord, please give us a vision that we may see the meaning of Your blessing, and have mercy on us that, unhindered, we may be able to receive Your blessing.” |
晨兴喂养
诗一三三1~3 ……弟兄和睦同居，是何等的善，何等的美！这好比那上好的油，浇在亚伦的头上，……好比黑门的甘露，降在锡安山；因为在那里有耶和华所命定的福，就是永远的生命。 结三四26 我必使他们……成为福源，我也必叫雨按时落下；那必是赐福的雨。 诗篇一百三十三篇是一位圣民上锡安时，因弟兄在一里同居，有耶和华所命定的福而有的赞美。当锡安被建造，神安息在那里，并居住在耶路撒冷时，……我们就有了聚集的地方，并且能在一里同居。这是何等的善，何等的美！（圣经恢复本，诗一三三1注1） 神永远的生命（约三16，弗四18），是神命定给那些在召会生活里，在一里同住之人的福。……诗篇一百三十三篇预表召会生活，最高的生活，弟兄在一里同住的生活。这样的生活使神进来，以施膏的灵、滋润的恩典和永远的生命祝福我们（诗一三三3注3）。 |
Psa. 133:1-3 …How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity! It is like the fine oil upon the head that ran down…; like the dew…that came down upon the mountains of Zion. For there Jehovah commanded the blessing: Life forever. Ezek. 34:26 …I will make them…a blessing, and I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing. Psalm 133 is the praise of a saint, in his going up to Zion, concerning Jehovah’s commanded blessing on brothers who dwell in oneness. When Zion is built up and when God is resting there and dwelling in Jerusalem,…we have a place where we can gather and where we can dwell together in oneness. How good and how pleasant this is! (Psa. 133:1, footnote 1) The eternal life of God (John 3:16; Eph. 4:18)…is commanded by God as a blessing to those who dwell together in oneness in the church life….Psalm 133 typifies the church living—the highest living, a living in which the brothers dwell together in oneness. Such a living causes God to come in to bless us with the anointing Spirit, the watering grace, and the eternal life. (Psa. 133:3, footnote 3) |
信息选读
〔在以西结三十四章二十六节〕主应许，不仅祂的子民要蒙受神的赐福，祂也要使他们成为福源。……首先，我们自己得享主的祝福；然后，祂要使我们成为别人的福源，叫别人也得着供应。 主应许“那必是赐福的雨”。……在地方召会的聚会中，许多时候我们感觉不仅有流，也有赐福的雨降下。有时候，甚至聚会后回到家里，我们觉得赐福的雨仍在降下，临到我们。这是最有力的记号，表明主的祝福是在地方召会之上。祂按时并及时的赐下赐福的雨（以西结书生命读经，二二八至二二九页）。 主在〔启示录三章十二节〕的应许，不是要给我们什么，乃是要使我们成为什么。我们每次想到主的应许，总是想祂要给我们一些东西。按照我们的观念，应许乃是与祝福有关。对于我们，若没有祝福，就不能算是应许。但在三章十二节，主不是说，“我要给他……”乃是说，“我要叫他……作……”在十二节，主不是应许要给我们圣别，或是属天的福气；在这里，祂乃是应许要叫我们成为神殿中的柱子。 成为神殿中的柱子，包括了两件事—变化和建造。自从我来到美国之后，我的负担一直就是这两件事。主能给我们最大的祝福，就是变化我们，并把我们建造到祂的殿中。……什么叫作成为神殿中的柱子？……那些达到非拉铁非召会程度的人，里面就有正确的领会力。我们若是够上了这个程度，就是预备好让主来变化我们。我们若把从主领受的微小力量用在主的话上，并向主认真，那我们就是预备好被变化，并且在正确的地位上，让主使我们成为柱子。这要求我们首先经过变化，成为贵重的材料，然后再被建造成为柱子。我们这些本是泥土的人，怎能成为神殿中的柱子？唯有借着从泥土变化成为宝石，然后被建造在神的建造里，此外别无他路。……二章十七节……指明我们借着吃祂作隐藏的吗哪，就能变化成为一块白石。这真是最大的祝福。这关系到我们这个人，因为这关系到我们的所是。最大的祝福，不是主给我们什么，乃是主使我们成为什么（启示录生命读经，四三四至四三五页）。 参诗篇生命读经，第四十二篇；耶利米书生命读经，第二十篇；召会的治理与话语职事，第五篇。 |
[In Ezekiel 34:26] the Lord promised not only that His people would receive His blessing but also that He would make them a blessing….First, we ourselves will enjoy the Lord’s blessing, and then He will cause us to become a source of blessing to others so that they may be supplied. The Lord promises that there will be “showers of blessing.”…Many times in the meetings of the local churches we sense that something is not only flowing but also coming down like a shower. Sometimes even at home after the meeting, we have the sense that the showers of blessing are still coming down upon us. This is the strongest sign that the Lord’s blessing is upon the local church. He sends us showers of blessing in season, so timely. (Life-study of Ezekiel, pp. 183-184) The Lord’s promise in Revelation 3:12 is not to give us something but to make us something. Whenever we think of the Lord’s promises, we always think that He will give us something. According to our concept, a promise is related to a blessing. To us, without a blessing, there can be no promise. But in 3:12 the Lord did not say, “Him I will give”; He said, “Him I will make.” In 3:12 the Lord does not promise to give us holiness or a heavenly blessing. No, here He promises to make us become something—a pillar in the temple of God. Becoming a pillar in the temple of God invol.ves two things—transformation and building. Since I came to this country, my burden has been on these two matters. The greatest blessing the Lord can render us is to transform us and to build us into His temple….[What does it mean] to be made a pillar in the temple of God?…Those who have reached the level of the church in Philadelphia have the proper understanding within them. If we are on this level, then we are ready for the Lord to transform us. If we use the little power we have received of the Lord on His word and mean business with Him, then we are ready to be transformed and are in the proper position for the Lord to make us a pillar. This requires that we firstly be transformed into precious material and secondly that we be built into a pillar. How can we, who are clay, become a pillar in God’s temple? There is no way except to be transformed from clay into precious stone and then to be built into God’s building….Revelation 2:17…indicates that we can be transformed into a white stone by eating Him as the hidden manna. This is truly the greatest blessing. This invol.ves our very being, for it is related to what we are. The greatest blessing is not what the Lord gives us, but what the Lord makes us.
