Women to Be Gospel Workers
103
Teach our sisters that their question should be each day: “Lord,
what wilt Thou have me to do this day?” Each consecrated vessel will
daily have the holy oil emptied into it to be emptied out into other
vessels.

If the life we live in this world is wholly for Christ, it is a life of
daily surrender. He has the freewill service, and each soul is His own
jewel. If we can impress upon our sisters the good which it is in their
power to do through Christ, we shall see a large work accomplished. If
we can arouse the mind and heart to co-operate with the divine Worker,
we shall, through the work they may accomplish, gain great victories.
But self must be hidden; Christ must appear as the worker.
There must be an interchange of taking in and giving out, receiving
and imparting. This links us up as laborers together with God. This is
the lifework of the Christian. He that will lose his life shall find it.
[117]
The capacity for receiving the holy oil from the two olive trees is
increased as the receiver empties that holy oil out of himself in word
and action to supply the necessities of other souls. Work, precious,
satisfying work—to be constantly receiving and constantly imparting.
We need and must have fresh supplies every day. And how many
souls we may help by communicating to them! All heaven is waiting
for channels through which can be poured the holy oil, to be a joy and
a blessing to others. I have no fear that any will make blundering work
if they will only become one with Christ. If He is abiding with us, we
shall work continuously and solidly, so that our work will abide. The
divine fullness will flow through the consecrated human agent to be
given forth to others.

The Lord has a work for women as well as men to do. They may
accomplish a good work for God if they will first learn in the school
of Christ the precious, all-important lesson of meekness. They must
not only bear the name of Christ, but possess His Spirit. They must
walk even as He walked, purifying their souls from everything that
defiles. Then they will be able to benefit others by presenting the
all-sufficiency of Jesus.
