Watchman Nee emphasizes the distinction between ministry to the House of the Lord and true ministry to the Lord Himself. He warns that many believers may be engaged in church activities and outreach without genuinely serving God, often driven by personal inclinations rather than divine direction. Nee highlights the importance of drawing near to God in solitude and waiting for His commands, rather than rushing into service based on human needs or good intentions. He calls for a deeper commitment to ministering to God, which involves offering our lives and efforts in a way that satisfies Him first. Ultimately, true ministry is about prioritizing God's desires over our own busyness and striving.
