Since the inception of the church, the common, orthodox understanding of this matter is that we receive the life of God and partake of his divine nature. We do not "become", rather we receive. Witness Lee is just one of many false teachers who have made the unbiblical claim that we are becoming god in life and nature. He wasn't the first and he won't be the last.
"Tis mystery all the immortal dies
who can explore his strange design"
