3月10日 要有言教，更要有身教
务要传道。（提后四2）
我们得救，并不单是做“导管”，乃是做神的儿女。我们不是变成属灵的媒介，乃是属灵的使者；所传的资讯必须是我们本身一部分。神的儿子本身就是神的资讯，他的话就是灵和生命。我们作他门徒的，生命必须成为资讯的印证。人天然的心喜欢做许多的事奉，但是要心灵真正在罪的自责中破碎，被圣灵浇灌，被搓揉进神的旨意里去，这时生命才成为资讯的印证。
作见证与讲道原有分别。传道人是有神的呼召，决志竭尽一切传神的真理。神把我们从自己的观念里领出来，把我们陶冶塑造，加以使用，正如五旬节后的门徒一般。五旬节并没有教导门徒什么，神只是把门徒变成为他们所传的资讯——“你们要作我的见证”。
你说话的时候，要让神有绝对的自由。神的话释放别人灵魂之先，必须先释放你。然后将你所经历的说出来，为主发光。
祈祷◆无所不知的主神，求你在今天将智慧赐给我，让我的敬拜、正确的行为都讨你的喜悦。主啊，求你在你的完全和美善中，不断向我述说你自己。妙！
March 10 Have A Message And Be One
“Preach the word.” 2 Timothy 4:2
We are not saved
to be “channels only,” but to be sons and daughters of God. We are not turned
into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part
of ourselves. The Son of God was His own message, His words were spirit and
life; and as His disciples our lives must be the sacrament of our message. The
natural heart will do any amount of serving, but it takes the heart broken by
conviction of sin, and baptized by the Holy Ghost, and crumpled into the
purpose of God before the life becomes the sacrament of its message.
There is a
difference between giving a testimony and preaching. A preacher is one who has
realized the call of God and is determined to use his every power to proclaim
God’s truth. God takes us out of our own ideas for our lives and we are
“batter’d to shape and use,” as the disciples were after Pentecost. Pentecost
did not teach the disciples anything; it made them the incarnation of what they
preached – “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me.”
Let God have
perfect liberty when you speak. Before God’s message can liberate other souls,
the liberation must be real in you. Gather your material, and set it alight
when you speak.
