Quote

I do not consecrate myself to be a missionary or a preacher. I consecrate myself to God to do His will where I am, be it in school, office, or kitchen, or wherever He may, in His wisdom, send me.

More quotes by Watchman Nee

Image
A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
Watchman Nee
Image
Do not grow overconfident following a few victories. Should you not rely upon the Holy Spirit you will soon be thrown once more into a distressing experience. With holy diligence you must cultivate an attitude of dependency.
Watchman Nee
Image
Separation to God, separation from the world, is the first principle of Christian living.
Watchman Nee
Image
The burden imparted by God is lifted once we have prayed, but the heaviness from the enemy cannot be raised unless we fight and resist in prayer.
Watchman Nee
Image
The particular sin of omission which gives ground to the evil spirits is the believer’s passivity.
Watchman Nee
Image
Do not be impatient for impatience is of the flesh. Do not try different methods because they are useful solely in helping the flesh. We must distrust the flesh entirely.
Watchman Nee
Image
Only as they cease to seek anything by themselves and only as they take the position of the teachable shall they be taught by the Spirit truth which they are able to digest.
Watchman Nee
Image
To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears -- THAT is Christianity!
Watchman Nee
Image
The Christian life from start to finish is based upon this principle of utter dependence upon the Lord Jesus.
Watchman Nee
Image
One gains by losing self for others and not by hoarding for oneself.
Watchman Nee
Image
Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men's sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe. I die believing in Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
Irrespective of how we physiologically are made, even possessing special weaknesses, we can overcome our sins through the Lord.
Watchman Nee
Image
It is a fact that the Lord Jesus has already died for you. It is also a fact that you have already died with the Lord Jesus. If you do not believe in your death with Christ, you will not be able to receive the effectiveness of death with Him - freedom from sin.
Watchman Nee
Image
God not only wants to break the outer man...He wants our spirit and our soul...our inner man and outer man to be separated from each other.
Watchman Nee
Image
The cares of this life emerge as very small items indeed along our daily path.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may infer from any defeat of ours that it is due either to lack of faith or failure to obey. No other reason can suffice.
Watchman Nee
Image
Every true work is not done to the poor. Every true work is done to Me.
Watchman Nee
Image
We work because we have not seen the work of Christ.
Watchman Nee
Image
We may love to say many things, but if these are not uttered in the Holy Spirit it is better to say nothing. The flesh can conjure up many plans and methods and be full of expectations. The righteousness of the flesh is as abhorrent as its sin we must always maintain God's view of the flesh.
Watchman Nee
Image
All satanic works are performed from the outside inward all divine works from the inside outward.
