Quantas vezes (e com grande zelo!), temos buscado santidade, paciência, justiça ou amor? Porém, quão grande tem sido nossa frustração ao vermos que por mais que procuremos alcançar essas “coisas” espirituais muitas vezes terminamos em tremenda falha? As boas novas são que Deus colocou em Seu Filho Amado não apenas essas coisas, mas todo nosso suprimento, sendo Ele mesmo a essência de tudo o que é espiritual. Essa grandiosa verdade nos é descortinada passo a passo neste livro — uma compilação de cinco mensagens preciosas proferidas por Watchman Nee entre 1939 e 1940.
O autor nos mostra aqui, com incomparável clareza, que o método de Deus para suprir todas as necessidades espirituais de Seus filhos é a própria Pessoa de Cristo. Descobriremos que seja justiça, santidade, paciência, amor, ou qualquer outra necessidade espiritual que tivermos, Deus sempre suprirá através de Seu Filho amado.
Por toda a Sua Palavra, Deus nos revela o propósito eterno que está em Seu coração com respeito a Seu Filho, que Cristo seja o centro de tudo no universo. Mas antes que Seu propósito se manifeste plena e visivelmente, Deus deseja que Seus filhos comecem a experimentar no tempo presente a gloriosa realidade de que “…Cristo é tudo em todos” (Cl 3:11). “Desvendando-nos o mistério da sua vontade, segundo o seu beneplácito que propusera em Cristo, de fazer convergir n’Ele, na dispensação da plenitude dos tempos, todas as coisas, tanto as dos céus como as da terra” (Ef 1:9 e 10). Possa o Senhor desvendar os nossos olhos para vermos a total suficiência para nós do nosso precioso e amado Senhor e Salvador Jesus Cristo.

He established churches throughout China and held many conferences to train Bible students and church workers.Following the Communist Revolution, Nee was persecuted for his faith.

Watchman Nee was a Chinese Christian author and church leader during the early 20th Century. He spent the last 20 years of his life in prison and was severely persecuted by the Communists in China. Together with Wangzai, Zhou-An Lee, Shang-Jie Song, and others, Nee founded the The Church Assembly Hall, later which would be also known as the "Local churches."
Watchman Nee became a Christian in 1920 at age 17 and began writing in the same year. In 1921, he met the British missionary M. E. Barber, who was a great influence on him. Through Miss Barber, Nee was introduced to many of the Christian writings which were to have a profound influence on him and his teachings. Nee attended no theological schools or Bible institutes. His knowledge was acquired through studying the Bible and reading various Christian spiritual books. During his 30 years of ministry, beginning in 1922, Nee traveled throughout China planting churches among the rural communities and holding Christian conferences and trainings in Shanghai.
