The Living to Him Podcast

“For the kingdom of the heavens is just like a man about to go abroad, who called his own slaves and delivered to them his possessions. To one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability” (Matt. 25:14-15a). This week we begin a new series titled, "Taking the Initiative," with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on being active to care for the Lord’s possessions and receive talents from Him. This is part one of message two from a conference hosted by the church in New York City in November 2015.

“We should have a budget for our time, our energy, and our finances. When people talk about budgeting, most of them consider only finances. But according to my experience, even our energy has to be budgeted. I know how much strength I have. Every day I can use only a certain amount of strength. Timewise, every week and every day we should set aside some time for the Lord. In budgeting your finances, you should offer up what you have in excess according to the prosperity that the Lord has provided you (Acts 11:29; 1 Cor. 16:2).” (Witness Lee, Messages Given to the Working Saints, pp. 390-392, Living Stream Ministry) This week we conclude the series titled, "Living for Jesus a Life that is Simple," with speaking from brother Andrew Yu on four practical points concerning our living.
