10太二四45 这样，谁是那忠信又精明的奴仆，为主人所派，管理他的家人，按时分粮给他们？
10Matt. 24:45 Who then is the faithful and prudent slave, whom the master has set over his household to give them food at the proper time?
11林前十四31 因为你们都能一个一个地申言，为要使众人有学习，使众人得勉励。
111 Cor. 14:31 For you can all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
12我们要怎样在服事上忠信？……马太二十四章四十五至五十一节清楚地告诉我们，主托付我们照顾祂的家人。祂的家人是指信徒（弗二19），就是召会（提前三15）。今天召会乃是主的家，也是主的家人，就是我们所说的家属。……主嘱咐我们，托付我们，要供应祂的家人，就是供应召会里的信徒。
12In what way should we be faithful in the service?…In Matthew 24:45-51… the Lord commissioned us to take care of His household. His household refers to the believers (Eph. 2:19), who are the church (1 Tim. 3:15). The church today is the Lord’s house and also the Lord’s household, what we refer to as the folks …The Lord charged us, commissioned us, to minister something to His household, that is, to the believers in the church.
13按照马太二十四章四十五节，我们所供应的乃是食物。……我们必须按时分粮，就是分配生命的供应给主的子民。不要说别人有教导的恩赐，能教导你神的话，供应你属灵的食物，但你没有那样的恩赐。……所有主的仆人都为着他们的使命，领受了恩赐（李常受文集一九八五年第五册，六三二页）。
13According to Matthew 24:45, what we minister is food …At the proper time we have to minister food, the life supply, to the Lord’s people. Do not say that others have a gift of teaching to teach you the Word of God and minister spiritual food to you but that you do not have such a gift …All of the Lord’s servants received the gift for their commission. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 514-515)

Today’s Reading
14主升天之前，将祂的召会连同所有的信徒交给我们。……祂给了我们两类的东西：一类是祂的家业，一类是银子。今天我们有召会连同所有的信徒作家业，这是我们的分，我们能供应给他们，我们也有银子作属灵的恩赐。你不能说你没有恩赐；事实上，你很有恩赐。为此，我总是鼓励你要尽功用。有些人也许以为这只是我的实行。他们也许说，在整个基督教里，他们只看到好的教师向大会众讲道。他们从来没有看过一个聚会有这么多人站起来说话。有些人甚至说这是“爆玉米花”聚会。一个接一个站起来，好像爆玉米花一样。……这正是我们所盼望有的。这不是我的教训，这是圣经的教训（林前十四24、26、29~32）。我们都必须学习尽功用。……不要粘在椅子上。……你必须跳起来说话。你说话就是按时分粮给主的家人。
14The Lord, before going to the heavens, delivered to us His church with all the believers…He gave us two categories of things: one is His possessions, the other is the talents. Today we have the church with all the believers as the possession, the portion to us, to which we can give something, and we have the talents as the spiritual gifts. You cannot say that you are not gifted. Actually, you are much gifted. For this reason I have always encouraged you to function. Some may consider this merely to be my practice. They may say that in all of Christianity they only saw the practice of good preachers speaking to a crowd. They never saw a meeting with so many standing up to speak. Some have even called this a “popcorn” meeting. One after another stands up like popcorn popping…This is altogether what we expect to have. This is not my teaching; this is the Bible’s teaching (1 Cor. 14:24, 26, 29-32). We all have to learn to function…Do not just be stuck to your chair…You have to jump up to say something. For you to speak is to minister food to the Lord’s household at the proper time.
15供应食物的人知道要按时供餐。你若每天供应食物，你就必须作早餐、午餐和晚餐。泡杯咖啡、买一个甜甜圈作早餐，乃是懒惰的方式。在属灵的范围里，我们若是像这样，我们就不是好仆人，没有按时将生命的供应供给主人的家人。早晨应当按时供应早餐。还有，好妻子总是会预备最好的三明治给丈夫带到办公室，作为按时的午餐，并习惯为家人预备丰盛的晚餐。
15Whoever serves food knows the proper time. If you are serving food every day, you have to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To buy a cup of coffee and a doughnut for breakfast is the lazy way. If we are like this in the spiritual realm, we will be poor slaves to minister the life supply to the master’s folks at the proper time. The proper time in the morning is breakfast. Also, good wives prepare the best sandwiches for their husbands to bring to the office for lunch at the proper time and are accustomed to preparing a big dinner for their family.
16每当我们聚在一起，这就是你按时供应合式的食物给主的家属的时间。然而，如果我懒惰，没有读主的话；如果我在主的话上没有够多的殷勤劳苦，就来对你们说话，我就只能供应你们“一杯咖啡和几个甜甜圈”。烹煮一顿滋养、美味的早餐，需要你的殷勤。照马太二十五章十四至三十节这个比喻的上下文，忠信的人就是殷勤的人。忠信在此等于殷勤，懒惰等于怠惰。我们必须殷勤寻求主的话，使我们预备好，来到聚会时能供应美好的食物。吃的时候就是“按时”；聚会的时候就是“按时”。在主日上午、主日晚上、周二晚上、周五晚上，我们都有指定的时候。聚会的时间，就是指定的时候，我们众人必须将一些生命的供应，供给神家的人，供给同作信徒的人，就是供给我们的家业。
16Whenever we meet together, this is one of the proper times, the appointed times, for you to minister the proper food to the Lord’s folks. Suppose, however, that I was sloppy, not reading the Word. If I did not labor adequately in the Word and came to speak to you, I would just be ministering to you “a cup of coffee and some doughnuts.” To cook a nourishing, good breakfast requires your diligence. According to the context of this parable, the faithful one is the diligent one. Faithful here equals diligent, and slothful equals lazy. We must be diligent in seeking the Word so that we could prepare to serve good food when we come to the meeting. The eating time is the proper time, and the meeting time is the proper time. We have the proper time on the Lord’s Day morning, on the Lord’s Day evening, Tuesday evening, and Friday evening. The meeting times are the proper times when we all have to minister some portion of the life supply to our folks, to our fellow believers, to our possessions.
17主将召会给了我们，作为我们服事的对象，祂也给了我们才能、技巧、恩赐，来顾到我们的职责（李常受文集一九八五年第五册，六三三至六三五页）。
17The Lord has given us the church as the object for us to serve, and He has also given us the ability, the skill, the gift, to care for our obligation. (CWWL, 1985, vol. 5, “The Way to Practice the Lord’s Present Move,” pp. 515-516)

今日要点
19主题：借着按时分粮，成为忠信的奴仆
19
20引经：太二四45，林前十四31
20
211.成为忠信奴仆的条件－按时分粮：
21
22A.当我们看见我们双重的身份，我们就要认识，我们该如何成为忠信的奴仆，好得着国度的赏赐？太二四45说，『这样，谁是那忠信又精明的奴仆，为主人所派，管理他的家人，按时分粮给他们？ 』这节清楚地说到忠信服事的路，他的家人就是信徒，也就是召会，因此，按时分粮给家人，就是要供应召会里的信徒。
22
23b.主升天之前，将祂的召会连同所有的信徒交给我们，祂给我们两样东西，一类是祂的家业，一类是银子，今天我们有召会连同所有的信徒作为家业，但我们不是用自己的东西供应人，我们乃是要运用主的恩赐，以基督服事人，将基督当作恩典供应给人，我们有银子作属灵的恩赐，好将属灵的食物，也就是生命的供应分配给主的子民。
23
242.借着讲说基督，按时分粮：
24
25A.我们需要留意按时分粮这件事，按时的意思，就是无论得时不得时，都需要天天对人讲说基督，母亲养育儿女，为儿女预备食物，不能看天气或心情，得时不得时都得预备，为此，我们需要迫切而竭力的在任何聚会中说话的习惯，林前十四31说，『因为你们都能一个一个的申言，为要使众人有学习，使众人得勉励』，我们都有性能，都能申言，只要我们有所预备。
25
26B.我们如果懒惰，没有读主的话，没有在主的话上有够多的殷勤劳苦，我们就只能供应人一杯咖啡和几个甜甜圈，或是泡面，却无法供应人一顿滋养、美味、健康的早餐，要供应得丰富，就需要殷勤，根据太二五章，忠信的人就是殷勤的人，忠信在此等于殷勤，懒惰等于怠惰，这样，我们就能管理家人，按时分粮，成为忠信的奴仆。
26
27应用：每天早晨不能只给主五分钟读过晨兴圣言，而该借着祷读主话，一段一段化成祷告，细细咀嚼，并借着信息的开启，而蒙光照，被这光照所定住，看见自己的缺陷而认罪，并珍赏主的所是和所作，使我们饱享丰盛的属灵早餐，并将早晨所定住的光照应用在一天的生活中，这样我们就会有充分的预备，好供应神家的人食物。
