Watchmen Nee

Watchman Nee

Watchman Nee, a man with great faith, was supplied by God during his lifetime. As I read about his life, I was completely amazed at how any person could have such a strong assurance that the Lord would take care of him in every situation. This man was so constituted with the Word of God he resembled a living Bible. He was so faithful to the Lord that he would sacrifice himself to protect his belief. Although it was difficult for him to preach the gospel without risking his life, he constantly spread the heavenly Word contained inside him.

Even though Nee was so capable, he had to learn to be patient and willing to do whatever God wanted. Nee gave his life to serve the Lord. He then became a missionary even though he could have fulfilled many other of his grand dreams. Only a man with such bold assurance of his faith could attain such a living. At one point he disregarded his health just to further the distribution of the gospel. He wanted to pursue the Lord but was rebuked by his peers who thought he was foolish. Over time he became a well known missionary inspiring many Christians.

Nee is my hero because he was not an ordinary man. He was righteous and wise in many things and pursued the Lord with determination. He suffered countless times due to his dedication of steadfastness, yet still had a joyful heart in every situation. I wish to be like Nee someday, able to willingly give up all that I have earned in life simply to serve the Lord. Nee's principal reason for being able to offer his being to the Lord was love. I also hope to give up my everything in exchange for God's life and love for me.
