Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of November
Verses:
Matt. 25:27 “Therefore you should have deposited my money with the money changers; and when I came, I would have recovered what is mine with interest.”
Excerpts:
In a sense, we may say that the bankers are all the new ones, weak ones, young ones, and backsliding ones. We need to deposit the Lord’s possession with these bankers. The bankers are not the leading brothers, but the weaker ones, those who have problems. Suppose a certain brother is dissenting and speaks negatively about the church. How good it would be for such a dissenting brother to be contacted, not by one of the elders, but by another brother in the church who loves him and cares for him! If a dissenting brother is contacted by a number of others, he will eventually come back to the church and praise the Lord for the church.
If you use your talent in this way to take care of others, you will not only multiply the talent, but you yourself will be in the third heaven and will quickly grow and be transformed. You will be renewed in the spirit of the mind, and among us there will be a marvelous testimony of the Body to the whole universe. The universe will see that we are not a religious gathering, but a living Body. For this, we all need to use our talent, the Lord’s possession. The result will be multiplication. The more we take care of the saints and the churches, the richer we become.
Our faithfulness in service is related to the reward. If we are faithful, we shall be rewarded when the Lord comes back [which] is to participate in the authority in the coming kingdom age. (Life-study of Matthew, msg.66)
