The most important work of God on earth is for man to declare His word. In the Old Testament the word of God was spoken through the ministry of the prophets, and in the New Testament it was spoken through the ministry of the Lord Jesus and later by the apostles.
Although God willingly allows us to express His Word, the greatest measure of our usefulness as ministers of the Word is not the amount of our Bible knowledge or even the ability to present Bible truth eloquently; rather, it is judged by the degree to which our feelings, thoughts, opinions, and characteristics have been thoroughly dealt with by the Lord.
To be a minister of God’s Word, we must first allow the Lord to mold and form our inner parts through the inward operation and discipline of the Holy Spirit. The Ministry of God’s Word contains a series of messages given by Watchman Nee in 1948 and 1949 after nearly thirty years of ministry. These messages are deep, penetrating, subjective, and full of light, revealing both the depth of his experience and the extent of our need to be open to the inward operation of the Holy Spirit.
