Watchman Nee - Biograghy

Biography

Watchman Nee (1903–1972) is remembered for his leadership of an indigenous church movement in China, as well as for his books, which continue to enrich Christians throughout the world. Beginning in the 1930s, Nee helped establish local churches in China that were independent of foreign missionary organizations and were used to bring many into the Kingdom of God. From these roots sprang many of the house churches that continued to meet after Western missionaries were forced to leave the country during the Cultural Revolution. Arrested in 1952 and found guilty of a large number of false charges, Watchman Nee was imprisoned until his death in 1972.

Secrets of success

If you want to learn one of the secrets of success, go to the ant.
Could you learn anything about life from an insect?

Solomon, the wisest king of antiquity, wrote, "Go to the ant, consider
her ways and be wise." (Proverbs 6:6)

Why the lowly ant? Solomon writes, "…having no captain or ruler, [she]
provides her supplies for the summer, and gathers her food for the
harvest." In other words, the ant prepares for the future.

Unfortunately, many human beings expect future success to happen by
accident. Young people drop out of school because they see no purpose
in history or mathematics only to find themselves trapped in a dead
end job because of a lack of education.

All success is a result of preparation for success. Staying in school,
learning geography and science, is practice for success in adult life.
The harder you work in school, the more equipped you will be for
future success.
