Book excerpt: "In God's dispensation and economy, the leading ministry is the priesthood. In this universe God has an administration, a divine economy. His economy is the way He arranges or dispenses. Therefore, it is a kind of dispensation. According to the Bible there are three main ministries in God's divine dispensation: the priesthood, the kingship, and the prophethood. The priesthood is the leading ministry of the three and brings the kingship and prophethood into function. In other words, both the kingship and the prophethood depend upon the leading ministry of the priesthood."

Download or read book Being Up to date for the Rebuilding of the Temple written by Witness Lee and published by Living Stream Ministry. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament tells us that as saved ones we have been regenerated in our spirit and that from the time we were saved, God has been edifying and building up our spirit. Ephesians 2:22 clearly reveals that our spirit is God's dwelling place in us. Hence, to build up our spirit, the individual spirit, is to build up God's dwelling place, God's temple. On the other hand, the church is also God's house and God's temple. But how do we build up the church? It is through all the saved ones encouraging one another and functioning in mutuality according to their fellowship with the Lord and the experiences of life they have had with the Lord in their spirit. The Body of Christ is built up through the spiritual development of all the members.
