Today we are so joyful and inspired to join the establishing meeting of Hall 106 propagated by Hall 6. Especially after the pandemic, Hall 6 continues moving forward, which gives us particular encouragement. In fact, we have known for a long time that many places have visited Assembly 6 to seek the secret of propagation. However, over the years, I have been knowing from the church life of the saints in Hall 6 that if we really want to succeed, it is not just a matter of method, but a matter of price. This is something that visitors cannot see. For it is not difficult to know the method; just have some fellowship and you will know. The key is that there needs to be a group of people in the church life who are willing to steadfastly continue paying the price for God’s appointed way! It is not the method, but the price. The Lord’s servant said, “God’s appointed way is transcendent; as long as people are willing to pay the price to obey Him and cooperate with Him, it will surely be accomplished. The new way keeps you overcoming day by day, reviving day by day; you must labor diligently six days a week, sowing in tears, and then on the Lord’s Day, you will shout for the harvest.” Here in Hall 6, there is a group of brothers and sisters who, under the framework of the home, steadfastly continue to practice begetting. Their practice has not been just for six months, one year, or three years, but they have practiced like this for many years. Six months of Agony and Years of Practice Over these years, every time I go to a place, I find a home to begin a group with me. Each time I start a group, it is with four of us, and we go out to preach the gospel week by week, invite people to home gospel meetings, and then bring them into the group. Each time, when about six months have passed since we began the group, it is the most difficult time. The brothers and sisters do not see tangible propagation, so they are very anxious, wondering whether this will work. Each time I respond to the brothers and sisters by saying, “Look at the brothers and sisters of Assembly 6 who have been steadfastly continuing to beget for many years. We have only been doing this for six months.” Furthermore, this is called the period of hitting a wall. As long as we continue for one year, there will surely be results. Although everyone listens half in doubt, the results are good in the end each time. Each time we start a group with four people, we always add a group within two years. Today’s Church Life Needs People to Pay the Price Actually, we feel a little anxious after only six months because we have paid the price but temporarily cannot see the results, so we feel a bit anxious in our heart. Today, many people do not want to propagate, but they are not willing to pay the price. They only want to take the easy way by holding meetings or activities. I want to testify there is a group of people here who have steadfastly and continuously paid the price over many years to practice God’s appointed way! They are our encouragement! Many brothers and sisters who have successfully added groups and added districts are different from others in that when they were most hopeless, when they were least encouraged, when they felt it was completely impossible, they still continued to pay the price steadfastly week by week under the framework of the home to practice begetting, walking in God’s appointed way. There indeed is such a group of people here. May all the brothers and sisters bring back this kind of life! May the Lord raise up more willing to pay the price in the new year so that the church can propagate, the Lord’s testimony can be stronger, and God’s glory can be manifested!

今天我们很喜乐,也很受激励参加六会所繁增106会所的成立聚会。特别在疫情之后,六会所仍然继续往前,我们格外的受鼓舞。
其实一直以来,我们知道有很多地方都来访问六会所,想要寻求繁增的秘诀。但是这么多年下来,我从六会所圣徒所过的召会生活,我就知道,真正要成功,不光是方法问题,而是代价问题。这个是来访问的人看不到的。因为要知道方法并不难,交通一下就知道了。关键就是在召会生活中需要有一班人,愿意坚定持续的为神命定之路付代价!
不是方法,而是代价
主的仆人说,『神所命定的路是高超的,只要人肯付代价顺从祂、与祂合作,就必成就。新路保守你天天得胜,天天复兴;你必须一周六天殷勤劳苦、流泪撒种,到了主日就欢呼收割。』
在六会所这里,有一班弟兄姊妹,在福家的架构下,坚定持续实行生养。他们这样实行,不是半年、一年、三年,而是多年都这样实行。
六个月的煎熬与多年的实行
这些年我每到一个地方,我就找一个家一起开排,每次开局就是我们四个人,我们周周外出传福音,请人吃饭家聚会,然后把人带到排里。
每一次到了开排半年的时候,都是最艰难的时刻。弟兄姊妹没看到具体繁增,所以很煎熬,到底这样管不管用。我每次都回答弟兄姊妹,你看人家六会所的弟兄姊妹,坚定持续很多年一直生养,我们才半年而已。而且这个叫撞墙期,只要作过一年,一定会有结果。虽然大家听得半信半疑,但最后每次结果都是好的,每次开局四个人,最后两年内都增排了。
今天的召会生活需要有人出代价
其实我们才作半年而已就有点煎熬,因为花了代价暂时看不到结果心里有点急。今天很多人不是不想繁增,而是不愿意出代价,只想靠办聚会或活动走便宜的路。我要见证这里有一班人,多年来坚定持续付代价实行神命定之路!成为我们的激励!许多增排增区成功的弟兄姊妹,他们跟别人最大的不同,就是在最无望的时候,在最没有得激励的时候,在最觉得毫无可能的时候,仍然一周过一周在福家的架构下,坚定持续的付代价实行生养,走神命定之路。在这里确实有这样的一班人。盼望所有的弟兄姊妹,我们要把这样的生活拿回来!愿主在新的一年中,在召会生活中能够兴起更多愿意出代价的人,使召会能繁增,使主的见证更刚强,使神的荣耀得彰显!
