And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appearedto him. 13:3-4 And he continued on his journey from the Negev as faras Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, betweenBethel and Ai, to the place of the altar, which he had made there formerly; andthere Abram called on the name of Jehovah. In Genesis 12:7 we see that the altar is based on God's appearance.Where there is no divine appearance, there is no altar. We cannot offer ourselves to God unless we have first met God....Consecration is not the result of man'sexhortation or persuasion but of God's revelation. God’s appearing and transfusing issue in our consecration, causing us to build an altar, live in atent, and live totally for God; by God’s appearing and transfusing, Abraham trusted in God for His instant leading, taking God’s presence as the road mapfor his traveling— Gen. 12:7-8; 13:3-4, 18; Heb. 11:8: It comes when we see Him . When we meet God, a radical change takes place in our life. We can no longer do what we did in the past. When we meet God Himself, we have the power to deny ourselves. Such an appearance will alter the whole course of aperson's life. For a Christian, the power to live for God is based on his vision of God . It is not our will to build an altar that produces an altar. Analtar is built when God comes to a man. Lord, may You appear to me again andagain, attract me day by day! Only Your appearing to me can enable me to denymyself. Lord I need Your true appearance! Br. Michael invited me to have dinner in the Red Onion, Chinese Restaurant. This is our third time there,but everything is so refreshed. We had an open heart fellowship as usual,enjoying the flow of life within us. I did not remember exactly what Brother told me, but I felt deeply shepherded. Brother’s love in theLord really touched me, I even cannot find a word to describe. May Lord make me a life giving vessel like Brother Michael ! Lord I love You.
Beijing, 2:30pm, Institute of Zoology. I have been swampted by writing a new manuscript and got stucked this afternoon, partly due to fatigue and partly due to the terrible weather of Beijing. Anyway, I would like to share you guys an old figure that a lot of people might have seen. I hope this figure would make you feel happy and have a nice afternoon. Definitely, every guy will have his own understanding to this funny figure. However, it really means something. Finally, can I ask you a question? Who you are? The genius, the gossipy girls, the slaves, the Donald Duck or the great hero?
