OUR COMMITMENT FOR OVERSEA PROPAGATION

Message Two
Being Desperate in preaching the High Gospel

Scripture Reading:

Matt. 24:14    And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole inhabited earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

John15:2        Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes it away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit.

1 Cor. 9:16     For if I preach the gospel, I have no boast, for necessity is laid upon me; for woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.

The Gospel Being a Wonderful Person,
the Entire Divine Revelation of the Twenty-Seven Books of the New Testament

The gospel is Christ, who is the very embodiment of the processed Triune God, reaching us as the consummated Spirit, who is the consummation of the Triune God for our enjoyment. Truthwise, the gospel is the entire revelation of God’s New Testament economy, including the first verse of Matthew, “Jesus Christ, Son of David, Son of Abraham,” and including the last verse of Revelation, “Christians are used to saying that there are four Gospels, but Paul told us that the entire book of Romans is the gospel of God (1:1, 15). It includes the preaching of God, the condemnation of God upon fallen man, and the Body life, including the local churches in chapter sixteen. Have you ever received such a broad view of the definition of the gospel? Personally, the gospel is a wonderful person, and according to the truth, the gospel is the entire divine revelation of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament. God’s New Testament economy is the gospel. We have to believe in such a gospel, preach such a gospel, and live uniquely for such a gospel. The consummated Spirit, who is God Himself reaching us, eventually has become the seven Spirits in Revelation (1:4; 4:5; 5:6). The seven Spirits are also a part of the gospel. (Being Desperate and Living Uniquely for the Gospel, ch. 3)

Preaching with Aggressive Desperation

The main item of the service in the church is the work of preaching. As the Body, what are we living here for? We are here for the purpose of fighting the battle to subdue the enemy to bring people back to God. This is not a kind of evangelizing work in Christianity. It is the testimony of the church, and all the members are the living witnesses. With these members there is a testimony, and this testimony is in the genuine preaching. The real preaching of the church is the living of the members. All the members live for this purpose. Their living is their preaching. (Preaching the Gospel in the Way of Life, ch. 8)

To have aggressive desperation, you have to be “crazy.” If a person is in a burning building and is desperate for his life, he will jump out of the window. If we do not get someone baptized within a short period of time, we need to be desperate to “jump out of the window,” to do anything and everything it takes to get someone baptized. (Being Desperate and Living Uniquely for the Gospel, ch. 2)

Dear saints, what is the meaning of our human life? … If we are not here for the preaching of the gospel and saving souls, then what are we here for? You are working so that you can have food to eat, and you have been eating for so many years, yet it is still the same food. What is there to this? If we are not here for the Lord, what is the meaning of our eating? We cannot be the evil and slothful slaves. We must arise to do the work of reaping by actively preaching the gospel. (Rising Up to Preach the Gospel, ch. 2)
