Reigning in Life

NS515
1
The heavenly vision
Concerning the function
Of God’s chosen people on earth today
Controls and directs us,
Restricts and perfects us
To minister Christ and close this age!
 
Reigning in life:
Being ruled by the Spirit,
Restricted and limited;
Reigning in life:
To bring in God’s kingdom
And realize the kingdom life.
2
A time of confinement
To seek the experience
In being alone with our Lord today
And speak forth with boldness
The dreams of our Father,
Discipling the nations to close this age!

Composed during the 2015 European Young People's Conference in Poland.

"In Genesis 1:26, when God created man, He said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion." In the last few chapters of Genesis, we see an Israel expressing God's image and exercising His dominion. The exercise of God's dominion over all things is manifested in Joseph's life, whereas God's image is expressed in Israel. Joseph is not separate from Jacob but is an aspect of the life that expresses God's image. The two aspects of expressing God's image and exercising God's dominion must be found in one person. Therefore, what is found in Joseph's life may be called the reigning aspect of the matured Israel. Without this light you will not be able to understand this portion of the Word (i. e. Genesis 37-50). Sorry to say, most Christians do not have this light.

Our goal must be to express God with His image and to represent Him with His dominion. For this, we are chosen and fallen as Jacob; we are called, we are justified, and we live by faith as Abraham; we inherit the riches of Christ and enjoy them as Isaac; and finally, we struggle, we suffer, we are dealt with, and we reach maturity as Jacob. We all have the "Jacobean" struggling nature within us. If we were told not to struggle, we would struggle just the same. Struggling, however, is not necessarily wrong. If one has been a Christian for years but has never struggled, it means that he is not one who is seeking the Lord. It also means that he is not interested in gaining the birthright. But once we realize something about the birthright, we will struggle to be holy and spiritual, and our "Jacobean" struggling nature will come out. When you struggle, be prepared to suffer. Along with the suffering, you will be under God's dealing hand. You may be smart, but God has a Laban who is smarter than you are. Be prepared to suffer and to be dealt with by the hand of God. Eventually, you will reach maturity, and the reigning aspect of the matured Israel will be seen in your life. This is the reigning aspect represented by Joseph." (Joseph - The Reigning Aspect of a Matured Saint by Witness Lee, Chapter 1, page 11)

Prayer: Lord, may You constitute us with Yourself in order to become men who are reigning in life. As we are struggling and suffering in our restrictions and limitations, we allow the Spirit to spread in our whole inner being so we can be ruled by the Spirit. Give us more of the Spirit for more of the kingdom life!
