Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Content Whatever the Circumstances 」

2010-03-22T22:45:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11, NIV).

Today’s Word:

It’s easy in life to get so focused on our dreams, goals, and what we want that it consumes us. We can get to the point where we’re not going to be happy until it happens. But I’ve found that if we have to have something in order to be happy, our lives are out of balance. When our goals and dreams start to frustrate us, when we lose our peace, and we’re not enjoying life; that’s a sure sign that we’re holding on too tightly. What’s the solution? You’ve got to release it. Freedom comes when you say, “God, I’m turning it all over to You. You know my desires, and You know what’s best for me. I’m choosing to trust You and trust Your timing.”

When we learn to be content whatever the circumstances, it takes away the power of the enemy. It takes away his ability to frustrate us. Not only that, but by our actions we are showing our faith in God. When you choose to trust in His timing, you can live in peace, you can live in joy, and you can rest in Him knowing that He has good things in store for your future.

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, today I choose to trust in You. I release frustration over the dreams and desires in my heart, knowing that You know what’s best for me. I choose to trust in Your timing because You are faithful, and I will bless You in all things. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Where the Blessings Is 」

2010-03-16T19:10:00.001+08:00

Verse: “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity...for there the Lord has commanded the blessing…” (Psalm 133:1-3, AMP).

So many people today desire God’s blessing in their lives, but did you know He commands blessing when we are at peace with the people around us?

As believers, we are called to work together in unity so that we can fulfill God’s purposes. We are called to serve one another in love and serve together in the house of the Lord. Is there someone in your life that you don’t quite get along with? The Bible says to pray for that person and go out of your way to be a blessing to them. It isn’t easy, but the reward is eternal. His blessing is everlasting.

Make the decision today to live in peace and unity with your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Look for common ground. Even if the only thing you can agree on is Jesus, focus on that. Focus on the love you have for God and for seeing people come to know Him. Live together in unity so that the world will see your love. Open the door to see His blessing in every area of your life.

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, search my heart today and see if there is anything that is keeping me from walking in unity with other believers. I choose love today. I choose peace today. I choose unity today. Help me to be an example of love to those around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Restoration Mentality 」

2010-03-15T07:22:00.001+08:00

Today’s Scripture: “And I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…” (Joel 2:25, ESV).

Today’s Word:

We serve a God of restoration! You may have had some disappointments or unfair things happen in your life; but instead of dwelling on the past and living in defeat, choose to focus on His promises because God wants to restore everything that’s been stolen from your life. He wants to restore your joy, your peace, your health, and your finances. But here’s the key: you have to have a vision for it. You have to get your hopes up and decide to get your thoughts and words going in the right direction.

Today, choose to focus on the future and release past hurts through forgiveness. Draw a line in the sand and say, “I am a child of the Most High God, and I’m not going to live my life negative and defeated. This is a new day, and I’m taking back what belongs to me!” That’s having a restoration mentality!

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing to restore my life. Thank You for the truth of Your Word that sets me free. Fill me with Your power today so that I may stand strong and move forward on the path You have for me. I love You and bless Your Name. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Look beyond Your Limitations 」

2010-03-12T20:36:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about His mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains” (Colossians 4:3, NLT).

Today’s Word:

Did you know that when Paul wrote this verse, he was in chains and in prison? He was arrested for preaching the gospel. Everything in his surroundings shouted “limitations,” but instead of looking at his surroundings, Paul kept his eyes on the limitless God. He kept looking for the open door of opportunity that God would have for him next.

No matter what “chains” you may feel like you are in today, remember, we serve a God who’s in the business of setting people free, and He has equipped you with His power. When doors look closed all around you, when your surroundings look limited, when you feel like you’re in chains, remember, God is still at work. He’s promised to walk with you all the days of your life. Keep your hopes up. Keep expecting. Keep believing. Like Paul, pray for those opportunities to be opened to you. If you fall, get right back up and press forward with even greater determination because He promises to break the chains and open doors of opportunity in your life.

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, I choose to take my eyes off my surroundings and focus on You. I choose to focus on the passion and dream You’ve placed in my heart. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, opening doors of opportunity. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Open the Door to Abundance 」

2010-03-10T19:28:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap…” (Luke 6:38, NIV).

Today’s Word:

We serve a God of abundance! He wants to pour out His blessing on you until you are so full that you are running over with His goodness. Notice how this verse starts. It says, “Give, and it will be given to you.” Your giving is what sets the blessing of God into motion in your life.

Giving is like a seed. When you plant an apple seed, it doesn’t just grow a single fruit. That one seed grows into a tree that has an abundance of apples. The same thing happens when you obey God in your giving. You get an abundant harvest in return. You are so blessed that you can’t even contain it! You have to just keep giving, and the cycle just keeps repeating itself.

Is there something the Lord is telling you to give today? What do you have in your hand that you can use to be a blessing to someone else? Take a step of faith and set the blessing of God into motion. As you do, you’ll open the door for His abundance to flow in every area of your life.

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, I receive Your Word into my heart today. Thank You for choosing to bless me so that I can be a blessing to others. Show me ways to bless others and teach me to receive all You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 What Pleases God 」

2010-03-09T17:38:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Do you know what pleases God? He’s not impressed by how much knowledge we have. He isn’t influenced by how many possessions we have. He’s not moved by our accomplishments; He is moved simply by our faith in Him.

Faith is a gift. It’s not something that has to be contrived or worked up. The scripture tells us that everyone has been given a measure of faith, and that faith grows as we hear the Word of God. That’s why it’s so important to stay connected to a Bible-based church where you can hear the Word of God taught. That’s why it’s so important to make time every day to read and study His Word because that’s how you feed your faith. Best of all, the more you know His Word, the more you understand that He is a good God, and He rewards the people who seek after Him.

Today, take time to feed your faith. Meditate on His Word and ask Him to illuminate your heart with His truth. Trust that He is good and has good things in store for your future because that is faith that pleases God.

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, thank You for giving me faith so that I can be pleasing to You. As I seek You and study Your Word, I invite You to illuminate my heart with Your truth. Transform me into Your image and let everything I do bring glory to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Before Creation 」

2010-03-06T14:05:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight” (Ephesians 1:4, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Did you know God had a plan for you before the foundations of the earth? He created you to be holy and blameless in His sight. Why? He chose you to be His ambassador, His representative on the earth. God created you to reflect His glory. He created you to reflect His character, His righteousness, His holiness. Think about that for a moment. Part of your purpose on this earth is to be a representative for the King of kings and the Lord of lords. That should make you want to walk a little differently. It should make you want to talk differently. It should make you think a little more carefully about the places you go and the things you do.

Are you representing God’s holiness today? Remember, God will equip you to do whatever He’s called you to do. If there are things in your life that you need to change, God wants to empower you to overcome those things. Receive His strength and might today so that you can walk in holiness as His ambassador and live the destiny He has prepared for you.

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank you for choosing me today. I ask You to search my heart and remove anything that is displeasing in Your sight. I accept Your holiness today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Be Generous 」

2010-03-05T13:57:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV).Today’s Word:Do you need refreshing today? So many people go around overwhelmed, tired, worn down, barely getting by. But that’s not God’s best. He wants us to prosper. He wants us to be refreshed. Here’s the key: be generous and refresh others. Is there someone at the office you can be a blessing to? Can you lighten someone’s load? Maybe a family member is going through a hard time. Can you help them out? Can you cook them a meal? Refreshing someone can be as simple as a smile or an encouraging word. Don’t wait until you feel like doing it, that day may never come! Do it because the Scripture tells us to. Do it because it blesses the Lord.Today, look for someone to be a blessing to. As you step out and refresh others, as you live a life of generosity, you will be refreshed and experience His blessing in your own life in return.Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy in my life. Thank You for blessing me so that I can be a blessing to others. Teach me to be generous. Show me how I can refresh others and bring glory to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Sow Righteousness 」

2010-03-04T12:34:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward” (Proverbs 11:18, NIV).Today’s Word:Did you know God’s kingdom operates on a system of sowing and reaping? Have you heard the saying, “What goes around, comes around?” That’s really a spiritual principle. What you sow, you will reap. But I love what it says in today’s verse that when we sow righteousness, we’ll reap a sure reward.Sowing righteousness simply means doing the right thing in the sight of God. It’s obeying the Word no matter what the circumstances may look like. It means showing kindness even when it’s undeserved. It’s walking in love and keeping the peace when you really want to say something different. When you sow righteousness, you’ll reap a sure reward. That’s because God Himself is going to pay you back. He is the One who will multiply you when you honor Him.Today, keep doing the right thing even if the wrong thing is happening. Sow righteousness. Stay in faith; keep believing because He who promised is faithful. There’s a sure reward in store for you!Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for the principle of sowing and reaping. Thank You for setting up a system that blesses me as I bless others. Show me how to sow righteousness today and let me honor You in all I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Whatever He Says 」

2010-03-03T02:43:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…Whatever He says to you, do it” (John 2:5, NKJV).

Today’s Word:
When Jesus performed His first miracle, He was at a wedding celebration. His mother knew that in order to see His power at work, there was one key: “Whatever He says, do it.” It’s the same way with us today, our obedience opens the door to see His power manifest in our lives. The Scripture says, “If we are willing and obedient, we will eat the good of the land.” In other words, we’ll experience God’s abundant blessing when we follow His commands.

Oftentimes, we may be so focused on the thing we are believing for that we overlook simple obedience in other areas. For example, you may need a financial miracle. Maybe you’re tithing and sowing seed like you should, but are you holding unforgiveness toward someone? Is there something else you know you should do?

Today, ask the Lord to search your mind and heart. Don’t let anything block His power. Whatever He says, do it and watch that obedience open the door to His blessing in every area of your life!

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, I humbly come to You submitting every area of my life to You. I want to be obedient to You. I want to honor You. Show me any areas of my life where I need to make changes. I bless You today and always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Take Your Life Back 」

2010-02-27T08:00:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Do you ever feel like things in your life are out of control? Usually that happens when we allow our circumstances to dictate our thoughts and attitudes. You might say, “Well, Joel, the economy is wreaking havoc on my business.” Or “This relationship is just too far gone.” But I say, today is the day to take your life back! We live in this natural realm, but as believers, we are not limited by this natural realm. We can tap into God’s supernatural power, but it starts by making every thought line up with the Word of God.

Today, take your life back by taking your thoughts back. Don’t allow the enemy to have access any longer. Instead, meditate on the Word of God daily and allow His truth to sink down deep into your spirit. Let His truth make you free.

Today, as you take captive every thought and boldly declare His promises over your life, you are setting yourself up for victory. You are positioning yourself to partake of every spiritual blessing He has in store for you!

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for empowering me to live in victory today. I choose to take my life back by taking captive every thought and submitting it to You. Help me live a life that is pleasing to You, Jesus, today and every day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 His Thoughts toward You 」

2010-02-25T23:52:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!”(Psalm 139:17-18, NLT).

Today’s Word:

Did you know God is thinking about you right now? He thinks about you constantly. You are always on His mind. Do you know what He’s thinking? He’s not thinking about all that you’ve done wrong in your life. No, He’s thinking about the good things He has in store for your future. Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that His thoughts are for our good. His plans are to prosper us and give us a future and a hope.

Do you know what else He’s thinking? He’s thinking about how much He loves you. He’s not mad at you; He’s madly in love with you! Let that love bring security to your heart and mind. Just take a deep breath right now and breathe in His love and peace. The Bible says that perfect love casts out all fear. When you receive His love, it drives out fear and gives you confidence to embrace the good things He has in store for you.

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for thinking of me today. Thank You for loving me and for doing a work in my life. I receive Your love which drives out all fear. Make me new as I meditate on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

金句: 「你當竭力在上帝面前得蒙喜悅……按著正意分解真理的道。」(提摩太後書2章15節)

我和朋友準備花時間好好看看一系列畫展，這些作品是都和浪子回頭並得到父親寬恕的故事（路加福音15章）有關。我們走到資訊臺旁，看到上面放了不少小冊子、書籍和解釋作品的標牌。

在這個桌子上面，我們也看到了一個放著麵包的晚餐盤、紙巾和玻璃杯。我們都仔細地思索這個盤子所代表的含意，我們心想，或許這代表了浪子回到家時，父親和他言歸於好。但是當我們更仔細觀察時，就發現這個事實：有人留下了一個髒盤子在展示臺上。而那也不是麵包，不過是一些吃剩的塊狀餅乾！我們的想像大錯特錯。

我們大笑了一陣子，但是這個事件卻讓我想到，我們讀聖經的時候，也時常加上自己的想像。比起假定我們的推測是正確的，我們更應該確認我們的詮釋是否符合聖經的教導。彼得說：「經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的」（彼得後書1章20節）。若是我們倚靠聖靈的指示、小心地研讀上下文、參考著名聖經教師的教導，我們就不會從字裡行間解釋出根本不存在的意思。AMC

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Recall His Deeds 」

2010-02-24T23:16:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse:“But then I recall all You have done, O Lord; I remember Your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about Your mighty works” (Psalm 77:11-12, NLT).

Today’s Word:

Everyone has difficult days when things don’t go according to plan. These days can be frustrating and sometimes overwhelming. It’s during times like these that we have to be especially careful about what we think and say. The scripture tells us that our lives will go in the direction of our thoughts. Do you need to change your thoughts today?

I love what the Psalmist wrote here in Psalm 77. He was facing immense challenges when He cried out to God and said, “You know what? I’m going tofocus on what God has done for me. I’m going to dwell on His goodness. I will recall His deeds to mind.”

Today, don’t dwell on negative, self-defeating thoughts. Instead, recall His deeds to mind. Focus on what He’s done for you. Thank Him for the gift of life and salvation. Make a list of all His wonderful blessings. Let your thoughts turn toward Him today. Stay focused on His goodness so you can move forward in the victory He has prepared for you!

Prayer for Today: “Father in heaven, I bless Your holy name today! Thank You for the gift of life both now and in eternity. Thank You for loving me and setting me free. Help me to keep my mind on Your goodness today. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Choose This Day 」

2010-02-24T08:53:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…choose for yourselves this day whom will you serve…” (Joshua 24:15, NIV).Today’s Word:Every day, we make thousands of choices. Some choices have more impact on our lives than others. Some require more thought. Some may even require the input of others. Making Jesus the Lord of your life is the best choice you could ever make! However, once you do, you have the opportunity every day to make choices to support that choice. For example, are you choosing to serve the Lord with your attitude? Are you choosing to serve the Lord with your finances? Are you choosing to serve the Lord by what you say? What you watch on TV? What you listen to?Today I encourage you to examine your thoughts and actions. Choose this day to serve Him in every area of your life. As you submit your ways to Him, He promises to direct your steps. Remember, He has good things in store for your future. He promises to empower you to live the life of victory as you choose Him each and every day.Prayer for Today: Father God, today I choose You. Search my heart and mind and show me anything in my life that is displeasing to You. Help me to serve You with my whole heart, mind, will, and emotions. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

異教崇拜

2010-02-23T07:33:00.000+08:00

金句: 「『他似乎是傳說外邦鬼神的。』這話是因保羅傳講耶穌與復活的道。」（使徒行傳17章18節）

在遠東地區的一趟旅行中，我參觀了一個奇特的神壇，它是由百來座雕像組合而成。根據導遊的說法，來到這裡的參拜者會選擇其中一個和自己祖先最相像的雕像，然後向它祈禱。

幾年前，我讀到一個學生勒泰的故事。他原是一個相信祖先崇拜的人，當他向已故的奶奶禱告時，因為向他認識和摯愛的人禱告，所以覺得十分親切。

後來他從越南到美國讀書，有人向他介紹基督教的信仰，這聽起來好像是一個美式童話，但是對勒泰而言，這是對「外邦鬼神」的敬拜。(見使徒行傳17章18節)

接著有一位基督徒朋友邀請他到家裡過聖誕節，於是他看見基督徒家庭的信仰生活，也再次聽聞耶穌的故事。勒泰留心傾聽。他讀了約翰福音3章有關「重生得救」的經文，問了許多的問題，開始感受聖靈在他心中的力量，最後，他認識到基督教是真理，決定接受耶穌作自己的救主。

如果一個朋友視基督教為異教崇拜，我們要尊重他們的傳統文化，溫柔地和他分享福音，給他們多一些的時間來探詢基督教的真理。同時也要堅信，聖靈必在其中工作。JDB

2010-02-23T07:32:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7, NKJ).

Today’s Word:

Do you ever stop to think about what you’re thinking about? The Bible tells us that what happens on the inside of us—our thoughts, attitudes, and motives—are more important to God than what happens on the outside in our actions. You can fool people all day long by saying the right things, but the scripture tells us that God is looking on the inside at our hearts. He wants our thoughts and attitudes to come into alignment with His Word so that we can see His promises come to pass in our lives.

Remember, your life will follow the course you set with your mind. When you align your thoughts with God’s thoughts, your life will follow the course He has prepared for you. Jeremiah 29 tells us that His thoughts are for our good. His thoughts are for our peace. His thoughts are for our victory! So today, align your thoughts with His thoughts by meditating on His Word. Let His promises sink down deep into your heart so that you can move forward in the life of victory He has prepared for you!

Prayer for Today: Father God, today I surrender every area of my life to You. Help my thoughts to line up with Your Word. Bring your promises to my remembrance today as I meditate on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

金句: 「我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。」（雅各書1章2-3節）

加拿大在1942年的2月19日那天，舉行一場演習，並稱那天為「如果日」。當時是二次大戰期間，他們舉行納粹政權入侵曼尼托巴省的演習，這是刻意模擬加拿大「如果」被納粹黨佔領，情況會如何。以此來喚起加拿大人誓死捍衛國家的愛國情操。

有人如此描述：「『如果日』將納粹強行佔領的行為演繹得十分真實，曼尼托巴省的人民幾乎感同身受，嚐到納粹暴虐行為的苦頭。」而這裡有個關鍵字「幾乎」。「如果日」是一項具超前意識的演習，演習的動機是為了教育人民潛在的世界危機，但卻無法讓他們真正體會當時歐洲所經歷的苦難。

生活中真實的試煉是無法演習的，因我們不知它何時到來。事實上，生命中深遠的課題並非靠觀察就能明白，而是必須親身經歷。總是在心痛、失去之際，才更深刻地體會生命、激勵信心也感受到對上帝的迫切需要。雅各勸勉：「我的弟兄們，你們落在百般試煉中，都要以為大喜樂；因為知道你們的信心經過試驗，就生忍耐。」（雅各書1章2-3節）

生活在淪喪的世界就會有試煉，學習生命的課題則出於我們的選擇。要成長就必須明白：生命中沒有「如果」。WEC

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 Change Your Focus 」

2010-02-19T05:32:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2, NIV).

Today’s Word:

We all have days when we don’t feel very enthusiastic. Maybe in the natural

you don’t have any reason to be excited about your life. But today is the day to change your focus. It’s time to set your mind on things above.

Too often, we settle for what we see in this earthly realm, but God has so much more for us in the supernatural realm. Whatever we choose to focus on is what we will see manifested in our lives. It’s time to daily set our focus on the goodness of God and keep hope alive. Friend, today is not the day to give up on your dreams; it’s the day to feed your dreams. That means instead of dragging around finding every reason you can to be unhappy, you’ve got to change your focus. Your attitude should be: “I am not going to live my life defeated and depressed. All my dreams may not have come to pass, I may have some obstacles in my path, but I know God is still in control. I know He’s got great things in store for me, so I’m going to get up each day excited about my life, ready to embrace the good things He has in store for me!”

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, I choose to set my mind on You. I know that Your dream for me is so much bigger than my own. Draw me close to You as I daily set my focus on You. I bless You today and always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Follow Him Daily

2010-02-18T06:24:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Then he said to them all: ’If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me’” (Luke 9:23, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Every day there are things that come against us, distractions that would try to pull us away from our faith in Christ. That’s why Jesus said that every day we have to make the choice to follow Him. Sometimes it’s easy to think, “Well, I go to church regularly” or “I read my Bible on Sundays.” But really, the Christian life isn’t about how we live on the weekends, it’s how we live every single day. Are you spending time with Him, daily? Are you reaching out and putting others first, daily? Are you sowing seeds to help those in need, daily?

If you know you need to make some adjustments in your daily walk with Him, the good news is that you can start right now, today. Just simply turn to Him and make the commitment to follow Him moment by moment. Let Him direct your steps and follow that inner prompting of the Holy Spirit. Make the choice every day to follow Him and watch what He will do on your behalf!

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for another day to serve and follow You. Search my heart and mind right now and remove anything that would keep me from Your holy presence. I choose to keep my mind on You as I follow Your steps. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

He Daily Loads Us with Benefits

2010-02-17T05:43:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits…” (Psalm 68:19, NKJ).

Today’s Word:

When you live a life that honors God, when you obey His Word and you’re a person of excellence and integrity, the Scripture says that God’s blessings will chase you down and overtake you. You won’t be able to outrun the good things of God. He daily loads us with benefits!

People get confused sometimes and think they have to go chasing after the blessings. But really, when you chase after God each and every day, when you make Him your highest priority, the blessings will automatically follow.

Today, make pleasing the Lord first on your list. Let go of any weights or sins that you know are holding you back. Be willing to deal with any issues God brings to light. Don’t give in to compromise and temptation because all that will do is keep you from God’s best. Instead, make the decision to daily put Him first and keep your heart pure before Him. Then get ready because His blessings will chase you down as He daily loads you with benefits!

Prayer for Today: Father God, today I dedicate every area of my life to You. Help me to live a life of integrity and honor. Thank You for daily loading me with benefits as I put You first in everything that I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

展現真愛

2010-02-16T05:11:00.001+08:00

金句: 「你們若有彼此相愛的心，眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了。」（約翰福音13章35節）

在2010年，華人的農曆新年和西方的情人節正巧在同一天，儘管這兩個節日有著迥異的起源，但慶祝的方式卻有雷同之處：人們在這兩個節日裏，都會送禮物給摯愛的人，表達對彼此的愛。無論是在情人節送玫瑰給心愛的人，或在新年期間發紅包（紅色信封內裝著錢）給家人和朋友，皆代表著愛的心意。

我們的主耶穌基督吩咐他的門徒「要彼此相愛」，因為「你們若有彼此相愛的心，眾人因此就認出你們是我的門徒了」（約翰福音13章34-35節）。

我們的主希望門徒們擁有對彼此的愛，是有別於夫婦間的浪漫愛情，或朋友、家人間的友愛關係，它是一種無私的愛。使徒約翰用希臘文「愛加倍」（Agape），描述「完整、無私的愛」，代表上帝那種不求回報的愛，那正是主耶穌對門徒表現的「把水倒在盆裏，就洗門徒的腳」（5節），那也是祂為我們死在十字架上所表現的愛。

今日，就對一個人展現如此無私的愛吧！CPH

求主教我愛人秘訣，
按你要求給予真愛；
今天就能愛人如己，
懇切為此切切禱告。Anon.

你們各人的重擔要互相擔當，如此，就完全了基督的律法。──加拉太書6章2節

失敗的定義

2010-02-16T05:08:00.000+08:00

金句: 「他們因著信……軟弱變為剛強。」（希伯來書11章33-34節）

在經濟大蕭條時期，美國許多人都居住在由塑膠合板、防水布和毛毯組成的棚戶區。住在這裡的是那些失去家園的人，他們把這些簡陋的住屋，稱為胡佛村莊，將經濟蕭條歸罪於胡佛總統。

諷刺的是，胡佛總統明顯的領導無方與他先前的功績形成鮮明的對比。早年，胡佛在地質工程方面的專業知識，使美國在澳大利亞和中國的採礦工程都獲得成功，他在人道援助的努力也頗有成效。但是，當股市在1929年10月崩盤時，胡佛卻完全無能為力，使他永遠被1930年代的經濟不景氣栓在一起。

一次慘重的失敗，並不意味著一個人的一生都是失敗的。若我們只記得亞伯拉罕是個騙子（創世記12章10-20節），摩西不順服上帝（民數記20章1-13節），或大衛曾是個殺人犯（撒母耳記下11章），事情會如何呢？儘管他們犯了罪，這些人卻因他們堅持的信心被紀念：「他們因著信……軟弱變為剛強。」（希伯來書11章33-34節）

如果我們能悔改認罪，我們的人生就不算失敗，上帝仍然可以使用我們服事祂。HDF

吃了一塹長一智，
跌倒爬起再開始；
坎坷之中學智慧，
成功在即失敗止。D. De Haan

失敗是成功之母。

Each Day

2010-02-16T05:04:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3, NLT).

Today’s Word:
What are some of the things you do each day? We are all creatures of habit in one way or another, but can you say like the Psalmist that you wait expectantly each day? Most people find it easier to follow the first part of this verse. They bring their requests each day; but really, the key to seeing God move in your life is found in the second part—to wait expectantly each and every day.

When you go out with an attitude of faith and expectancy, you are opening the door for God to move on your behalf. You are declaring with your actions that you trust Him. That’s why it’s so important to feed your faith every day by spending time with Him. So today, make time to study His Word. Take time to bring your requests to Him. Then, go out with an attitude of expectancy and watch what God will do on your behalf!

Prayer for Today: Father God, I dedicate this day to You. Thank You for all the blessings You have prepared for me. I wait expectantly on You today knowing that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Arise Shine

2010-02-14T06:46:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you” (Isaiah 60:1, NIV).

Today’s Word:

I believe that in the coming decade God wants to exceed your expectations! He has amazing things stored up for you. He’ll take you places that you’ve never dreamed and give you breaks that seemed impossible. His glory is rising upon His people. Things are going to fall into place so that you can accomplish what God has placed in your heart. Even the hidden dreams that you’ve given up on, God has not given up on. He is going to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all you could ask, think, or imagine!

Your mind may try to talk you out of it, but if you’ll listen with your heart, it will resonate on the inside of you. Don’t let discouragement hold you back or keep you down. It’s time for you to arise. It’s time for you to shine. Let that sink down into your spirit today because it’s time for you to receive every spiritual blessing and move forward in the destiny He has prepared for you!

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, I come to You today with an open and humble heart. Thank You for choosing me and for preparing a bright future for me. I will arise and I will shine. Let everything I do bring honor to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Joel Osteen Ministries：「 This Day 」

2010-02-13T06:03:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “That day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the days of his life…” (Joshua 4:14, NIV).

Today’s Word:

I love the promise that God gave to Joshua. He said, “Joshua, today I will begin to make you great in the eyes of all the Israelites.” He was saying, “Today, I’m going to start releasing more of My favor, My blessings, My increase.” But notice, there was a set time God began to release favor in a new way.

Friend, God wants to do the same thing for you. He wants to release His blessings and favor in such a way that it makes you a great parent, a great spouse, a great leader, a great employee, a great friend, a great business person. He is saying to us what He said to Joshua, “This day I’m going to begin to make your name great. This day I’m going to begin to release My favor in a new way. I’m going to open doors that no man can shut.” It is a set time of God’s favor. Get ready! Make room in your thinking. Stay open to Him and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy because this day God wants to overwhelm you with His blessing and favor in every area of your life!

Prayer for Today: Father God, I bless You today. You alone are worthy of all glory and honor. Thank You for pouring out Your favor and blessing on me. I open my heart and mind to receive everything You have in store for me. In Jesus' Name. Amen

What Defines Your Future?

2010-02-11T13:56:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “You will also declare a thing, and it shall be established…” (Job 22:28, NKJ).Today’s Word:In the Old Testament there was an Israelite woman who was about to give birth. She had just heard that the Ark of the Covenant that housed God’s presence had been stolen. She was so upset about it that she named her baby boy Ichabod, which means “the glory has departed.” Notice what she did; she named her future by what was happening in her present. She could have just as easily named him “the glory will return,” but she was so focused on the negative, so caught up in where she was at that moment that she defined her future by it.Friend, don’t ever name your future by your present day circumstances. You may have had some hard times in the past, but get that “Ichabod” spirit off of you. It may look like you’re stuck in a rut and you don’t really see how you could ever rise any higher, but don’t speak defeat over your life. Instead, name your future: blessed, prosperous, successful, victorious, healthy, whole, strong, talented, creative, wise. Declare what God’s Word says so that you can move forward in the destiny He has prepared for you!Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank You for the good future that You have prepared for me. Today I choose to come into agreement with Your Word and declare Your blessing over my life. Keep me close to You as I surrender every area of my life to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

See His Goodness

2010-02-10T07:56:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “I am confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13, NIV).

Today’s Word:

David was going through tough times when he made the declaration in today’s verse. Things weren’t going his way. But he said in effect, “I’m not worried. I’m not upset. I am confident I will see God’s goodness.” In other words, “This situation I’m in may be rough, but that’s not going to steal my vision. That’s not going to cause me to give up on my dreams. I am confident that this year, I will see God’s favor in a new way.”

That’s what our attitude needs to be today because what you focus on is what you will see. No matter what the medical report says, no matter what your finances look like, no matter how bad that relationship may seem, be confident that you will see His goodness! He is the all-powerful, omniscient, Creator of the Universe, and He holds you in the palm of His hand. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Take hold of this truth by faith and focus on His goodness today. Allow His peace to settle in your heart and mind as you move forward in His blessing all the days of your life!

Prayer for Today: Father in heaven, thank You for Your goodness in my life. I choose to focus on You today no matter what my circumstances may look like. Give me Your peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

禱告回應

2010-02-09T05:06:00.001+08:00

金句: 「應當一無掛慮，只要凡事藉著禱告、祈求和感謝，將你們所要的告訴上帝。」（腓立比書4章6節）

上帝供應我們的需要時，通常都會順著自然律而行，而非超越自然律，正因為這個原因，一些禱告的回應便難以有確切的明證。

魯益師（C. S. Lewis）寫過：「唯有信心是禱告得回應的明證，這不是靠試驗可以證明的。」我們深信上帝回應了我們的禱告，並不是因為有任何科學證據，乃是因為我們有信心。

我們和上帝的交通，大部分是透過我們能觸及的事物，如大自然、聖經、領聖餐、教會與其他人。但上帝是屬於靈界的，當我們禱告時，就能領悟到我們和上帝之間的差異。

儘管我們能夠祈求上帝直接干預，但若祂結合我們自己的選擇而以隱藏的方式回應我們，我們也不應該感到意外。有位酗酒者禱告說：「主啊！求祢使我今天不要喝酒。」上帝可能會堅固酗酒者戒酒的決心，或讓他向一位忠實的朋友求救，來回應他的禱告，而非神蹟似地讓酒櫥裏的酒瓶消失。

無論上帝是否以超自然的力量干預，或賜能力讓我們去順服祂，我們都要信靠祂的特質，我們見到的是一個真正的夥伴關係，親密並相互交織。

使我行道不偏，
憑信不憑眼見；
以光引導在前，
指示你路。Ramsey

上帝會使用你來回應你的禱告。

感謝主總是把需要的人帶到我的生命中

2010-02-09T05:01:00.001+08:00

主阿感謝你
孩子感謝你總是把需要你的人帶到我的生命當中
主阿謝謝你相信孩子的能力
相信孩子要為你建造的是軍隊
是能夠傳揚你福音的軍隊
主阿求你親自引領我求你親自教導我
求你讓我更能學會依你的力量而不是自己的能力
相信在我裡面的大過這世界
相信主早就已經得勝了
主阿感謝讚美你
禱告奉主耶穌的名阿們

Nothing is Wasted

2010-02-09T04:44:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Life can be full of ups and downs, twists and turns. We’ve all had to face challenges and difficulties. But did you know that everything you’ve been through up until now is getting you prepared for what God is going to do in your future? Nothing in your life has been wasted. Every disappointment, every setback, every person that did you wrong, every lonely night, God is going to turn around and use for your good!

During the difficult times, we grow and mature. That’s when our faith is stretched and our character is developed. God didn’t send that hardship, but He’ll use it to get you prepared for your next step. Those adversities will help make you and mold you into the person you are called to be.

You may be experiencing tough times today, but remember, nothing is ever wasted. Have the attitude that says, “This is a new day. Things are shifting in my favor. This difficulty is not going to stop me. It’s going to promote me. It was meant to bring me down, but I know the truth; God is going to use it to lift me up and lead me into victory all the days of my life.”

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for drawing me close to You. I choose to dwell in the secret place of Your presence. I know that with You, nothing in my life is wasted. Thank You for Your peace and protection as You carry me through the difficult places into the place of victory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Lean on Him

2010-02-06T05:36:00.000+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Are you facing a situation that seems like it has no logical solution? Sometimes we have to turn our minds off, stop trying to figure it all out, and stop overanalyzing and researching everything. When you don’t see the answer in the natural realm, it’s time to stop leaning on your own understanding and choose to trust God.

Sometimes our minds can be a distraction to our “inner sensor.” Our minds can allow fear and dread to distract us from what God is speaking to our hearts. That’s why the Scripture says that we aren’t to lean on our own understanding. We have to take time to shut off the distractions, shut off fear, and listen to what’s going on inside of us where God speaks. That’s where faith rises up. That’s where all of the sudden you’ll feel a spark of hope even when things look impossible.

Today, no matter what it looks like in the natural, choose to lean on Him. Trust that He has favor in store for your future. Trust that something good is about to happen. As you lean on Him with your mind, soul and strength, you’ll see His goodness and break through to new levels in every area of your life!

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, today I choose to lean on You. I choose to trust that You are working on my behalf. I won’t put my confidence in what I see, but I will trust in Your Word which remains true forever. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Set Your Mind Higher - From Joel Osteen

2010-02-05T06:07:00.002+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2, NIV).

Today’s Word:

Sometimes when people look toward the future, they don’t see how they will ever rise higher or fulfill their destiny. That’s because they are looking at things in the earthly, or natural, realm. But if we’ll set our minds higher, if we’ll set our minds on things above, we will have a different perspective.

The Scripture says in Second Corinthians that we walk by faith and not by sight. In other words, we have to believe it before we’re ever going to see it.

When we set our minds higher, we walk by faith. We see things God’s way. But when we walk by what we see in the natural realm, we can easily allow circumstances and fear to keep us from moving forward.

Make the decision today to set your mind on things above. Focus on the good things God has in store. Be determined to close the door on fear and doubt and choose to listen to that inner prompting of the Holy Spirit. As you walk and live by faith, you’ll see His promises come to pass, and you’ll move forward into the destiny He has prepared for you!

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for Your Word which lights the path You have for me. I choose today to keep my heart and mind focused on You. I choose to meditate on Your Word knowing that it feeds my faith and sets me in a position to receive every blessing You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Good Things in Store

2010-02-05T06:07:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “…time and chance happen to them all” (Ecclesiastes 9:11, NIV).

Today’s Word:

When God laid out the plans for our lives, He lined up the right people, the right breaks, and the right opportunities that we needed to fulfill our destiny. The Scripture talks about how time and chance will come together for every person. In other words, there are moments of favor that God has already released into your future. If you’ll let that sink down into your heart today, it will change your whole outlook on your future.

So many people miss out on the good things because they allow fear to distract them and hold them back. They say, “What if I fail?” “What if they don’t like me?” “What if I make a mistake?” To that I say, “What if you succeed?” “What if they like you?” “What if you do it better than anyone else?” That’s expecting God’s goodness and favor. And when you go out each day with an attitude of faith and expectancy, you’ll see those good things He has in store. You’ll walk into divine moments of favor, moments of blessing, moments of increase; and you’ll be fully equipped to live the life of victory!

Prayer for Today: Father God, thank You for the good things You have in store for my future. Thank You for Your peace and joy that surrounds my every step. I choose today to keep my heart focused on the good things You have in store for my future. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2010-02-04T06:33:00.001+08:00

主阿
在了解自己該做的事情的時候
有時候就真的會想把他推給別人
因為了解到真的太重太難害怕自己做不到
很謝謝主藉由機會讓我知道
我有時候其實是在把自己的責任推給別人
尤其是推在還不是你的子民的人的身上
主阿請原諒我的無知跟愚蠢
主阿我應該要相信你的就如同你相信我一樣
但我要知道這一切是因你而成全
而不是憑我的力量
主阿我將一切交託在你的手上
求主顯現求主感化人心這世界需要更多擁有溫暖愛的人
因為這世界已經有太多了仇恨跟互相怨懟了
主阿求你引導求你感召更多的人成為你的子民
禱告奉主耶穌基督的名阿們

走向那不信的人群並無所畏懼吧

2010-02-04T06:24:00.002+08:00

主阿
要了解你的愛真的很難很難
因為沒人會相信你是完全不顧自己的完全奉獻犧牲
身為你的子民的我們也要像你一樣
但這一路的過程只會越來越體會主的愛
也會越來越加增恐懼
了解主所希望我做的事
但也害怕把自己全部交出去
是否也能像主一樣用這樣的大愛去愛每個人
主阿我知道你的旨意是要弟兄姊妹把福音傳出去
因為我們已經得到你的愛
白白的得就要白白的給
主阿求你保守我們的心
讓我們無所畏懼
求你開我們的眼界讓我們知道哪些人是你所揀選的
也求主保護我們免受我們無法承受的試探
主阿相信你的道路高過我們的道路你的意念高過我們的意念
若你將這樣的命定放在我們的心中的話
也就是你對我們也有極大的信心
主阿我要相信在我裡面的早就勝過一切了
我要相信你會為我們而爭戰就如同我們會為了你的旨意而爭戰
主阿你說要如鷹展翅上騰主阿求你留心在我們的腳步上吧
禱告奉主耶穌的名阿們

禁食與禱告

2010-02-04T00:13:00.000+08:00

基督徒都很熟悉禁食禱告這一件事，可惜許多人會錯了意，把這看作平常。我怕說，真懂得甚麼叫作禁食禱告的人並不多。現在我們要回到聖經裡面，好好的來看這一件事。

聖經最開頭題到禱告的地方，並沒有說到要禁食。你沒有看到挪亞禁食禱告，也沒有看見亞伯拉罕禁食禱告。一直等到摩西的時候，雖然聖經沒有明文記載他禁食禱告，但你我應當信，他上西乃山，四十天之久在神面前是禁食禱告的。再往下來，聖經就常讀到禁食禱告的事。特別到了新約，禁食就很明顯的和禱告發生了重大的關係。新約題到第一個禁食的人，就是施浸約翰。馬太十一章十八節說，施浸約翰來了，也不喫，也不喝。當然，那不是指著約翰絕對禁食，乃是指著他無分於人世間的享樂。所以約翰一面是不喫不喝，一面還喫蝗蟲野蜜。（三。）但無論如何，他可以列在禁食的人當中。

新約聖經裡第二個禁食的人就是主耶穌。主一開頭出來事奉的時候，就在神面前禁食四十天，以後祂在教訓裡，也說到一些關乎禁食的事。祂說，當祂和門徒同在的時候，門徒是不需要禁食的，但等祂離開時，他們就要禁食。（可二～。）又說，有的鬼光靠禱告不能趕出去。（太十七。）所以從主耶穌的榜樣可以看出，祂實在是一個禁食的人；同時在祂的教訓裡頭也給我們看見，禁食到底是怎樣一回事。再往下去，到了使徒時代，聖經給我們看見，使徒們常有禁食禱告的事。行傳十三章很清楚記載說，有五個先知教師，在安提阿教會中等候神的時候，他們是在那裡禁食禱告。尤其是當他們中間有兩個人奉差遣要往外邦去的時候，他們還是在那裡禁食禱告，然後纔打發出去。禁食的記載到了行傳十三章，可以說是達到高峰。

我很簡單的把聖經裡關乎禁食和禱告的關係點了一下，從這些記載裡頭我們可以看出，禁食和禱告到底有甚麼關係。或者說，在禱告裡禁食有甚麼意義。

壹　禁食是人接受重大責任的自然表現

第一，禁食乃是人在神面前接受一個重大責任的時候，一種自然的表現。在這個時候，人自然要禁食。我們作人的經歷也能證實這一點。當我們在人生歷程中遇到一件大事的時候，也是常常不能喫飯。不錯，有的事情是叫我們快樂得能多喫，但也有的事情是叫我們壓得不能喫了。因為所遇到的事情太大，責任太重，我們很自然的喫不下甚麼；一直等到事情作完，責任卸去，我們纔鬆了一口氣，恢復正常的生活。同樣，當我們從神那裡接受一件大事的時候，我們的裡面相當有感覺，所以不必故意禁食也等於禁食。摩西在西乃山上因著從神面前接受一個重大的責任，所以他四十天在那裡不能喫飯。慢慢的你看見，主耶穌出來作工，接受了重大的責任，祂也不能喫飯了。不是說祂真的不能喫飯，乃是說祂無心喫飯，好像裡面沒有地方容納飲食。到了行傳十三章，那些先知和教師也是因著有一件天大的事臨到他們身上，他們全人都得省出來為著這個責任，所以也自然的禁食禱告。這是禁食的第一個意義。

貳　禁食是人的絕對表示

第二，禁食乃是人站在神這一面的絕對表示。我們在爭戰的禱告裡說過，禱告是人在宇宙間表示說，人是站在神這一面來反對撒但的。而禁食乃是這一種禱告的絕對表示。今天人要表示他對一件事的絕對，他就絕食。同樣的，人在一件事上，要表示絕對站在神這一面來反對撒但，也是用禁食來表示。如果你一面為著一件事禱告，一面能喫飯，那就是說，你還沒有絕對的站在神這一面，你的態度還不彀堅決。所以弟兄姊妹們禱告的時候，不要輕易的就禁食。總得記住，禁食乃是說，在這裡有一件重大的事，在這件事上，我的態度、我的存心，是百分之百絕對的站在神這一面來反對神的仇敵。

參　禁食是放棄合法的權利

第三，禁食本身的意義，就是放棄合法的權利。人生沒有第二件事比喫飯再合法。神把人造好之後，第一為人安排的就是喫飯的問題。創世記第一章，神照著祂的形像造人之後，馬上規定把菜蔬和果子給人作食物，所以人喫飯是合法的。人在這裡禁食，就是表示說，為著要承接一件重大的事，把最合法的權利都放棄了。

禁食既是放棄合法的權利，就我們在許多的事上也應當學習放棄合法的權利。若是在生活上還放不下享受，而單單在那裡禁食，這樣的禁食是沒有意思的。主耶穌的生活和祂的禁食是合得來的，因為祂在地上作人的時候，許多合法的權利都放棄了。主耶穌一生的生活，就是禁食的原則。祂放棄了合法的權利，放棄了應得的享受，所以祂雖然沒有天天禁食，卻是天天活在禁食的原則裡面。

肆　禁食是人不顧自己的表示

第四，禁食也是人不顧自己，甚至不顧惜性命的一個表示。這就是中國人所說的不顧生死。喫飯和人的生存關係最密切，若不喫飯就會餓死，所以禁食就是拿性命來作抵押。禁食的意思就是說，我寧可死，也要這件事成就。我以性命相爭，以生死相爭。有的時候，人在機關裡作事，為著一件事常以去留相爭，你贊成我的意思就留，不贊成我的意思就去。請大家記得，禁食乃是以生死相爭，是寧可死也不肯讓這件事過去，寧可死也要讓這件事向前。以生命來作抵押，以生死來爭取，這就是禁食的一個表示。

為此若是我們為一個重擔禱告，心裡還能顧到前途，顧到命運，顧到生死，請大家記得，我們可以禱告，但是不必禁食。你若真要為一件事禁食禱告，你就該有一種光景，是把性命擺在一邊。如同保羅所說的，我不以性命為念。（徒二十。）當保羅末次要上耶路撒冷去的時候，一路上到處有信徒警告他說，你到那裡一定要遭受到鎖鍊，遇到危險。他們把保羅勸到一個地步，保羅沒有法子忍受，就說，你們為甚麼使我心碎呢？我為主耶穌的名，不但被人捆綁，就是死在耶路撒冷也是願意的。（二一。）請大家記得，這就是禁食的原則。禁食不光是你把合法的權利放棄了，並且是把性命都擺上去。所以有的時候我們會覺得，我們的禁食沒有意義，因為不過是在外面有一點表示，裡面並沒有甚麼兩樣。禁食乃是說，有一件事壓到你的身上，你以性命來爭取，你寧可死也不能讓這件事這樣過去，寧可死也要向神證實這件事。有這樣強烈的感覺，禁食纔有意義。

伍　禁食是要神的旨意成全，撒但失敗

第五，禁食乃是要神的旨意成全，要撒但失敗。聖經裡所記載的禁食禱告，若不是為著神的旨意成全，就是為著趕逐魔鬼，你不容易找出一個例子是為著人自己的好處。所以我們可以斷定的說，真實的禁食乃是一面要神的旨意成全，一面要撒但被除去。也許你說，我們為著病得醫治來禁食禱告，這也能說是要神的旨意成全，要撒但被除去麼？問題就在這裡，你若是僅僅為著自己的疾病禱告，你的觀念、你的眼光，單純是要神來醫治你，你這樣禁食是沒有用的。乃是當你蒙憐憫、蒙光照、蒙帶領，到了一個地步，你在疾病中即使沉重到沒有希望痊愈了，你還能在神面前辦一個交涉說，神，若是你留我在地上，我願意今後的年日絕對的為著你；若是不然，求你叫我速速死去。我不願意在地上為自己活著。神，我今天在這裡求你作一件事，叫我得醫治，叫我今後的年日完全為你活著。你若是有這一種光景，這一種心境，這一種觀念，那你是已經在那裡禁食了。我信差不多的疾病，到這時候會得醫治。

我附帶說幾句話。千萬不要信，神醫是絕對沒有條件的，是無限量的。就著神的權能來說，固然是無限量的，但是就著得著神醫的人來說，還是有限量的。我願意告訴弟兄姊妹，已過那些得著神醫的人，他們得著醫治之後，末了還是死去了。拉撒路甚至已經從死裡復活了，最後還是死去了。無限的得著神醫，必須等到將來復活的日子。今天所有的病都沒有得到絕對的醫治，完全的醫治。兩千年來，教會中得到神醫的人何只千萬，請問這些人今天在那裡？都在墳墓裡，他們是在死亡裡等候醫治。所以詩歌四十四首（達祕弟兄所寫）說，『等候祂來提接我們，脫離死亡和墳墓。』你我今天雖然還沒有到墳墓裡去，但是卻在死亡的裡面。一切的疾病都是死亡的因素。在復活沒有來到以先，認真的說，每一個得醫治的人，都不過是得了暫時的醫治。今天在必要的時候，神給我們有限量的醫治，留我們在地上多活一些年日，但不是為著我們的健康，也不是為著我們的壽命，乃是為著祂的旨意。

所以弟兄們，並不是說，你生病了，你在那裡禁食禱告，結果神就醫治你。禁食的意義乃是說，你在這裡絕對要神的旨意成全，要神的仇敵被趕出去，至於你得不得醫治是另一件事。你看見了你已過的生活，完全是為自己活著，你懊悔的對神說，若是祂喜悅的話，求祂再留你在地上一段時間，你願意祂的旨意全然成全在你身上，而撒但在你身上沒有地位，因此你在神面前禁食表示這件事。若是這樣，我信十次有八次神來醫治。但我再說，這個醫治是有時間性的。神在祂的旨意中給你時間的醫治，是要祂的旨意在你身上得著成全，不然你就是再禁食禱告也沒有用。不要以為只要禁食禱告，就能得到神的垂聽。禁食禱告的基本原則乃是要表示說，絕對要神的旨意成全，要撒但能彀除去。聖經裡找不到一處例證說，人在那裡為著個人的好處禁食禱告，而蒙神垂聽。所有聖經裡題到禁食禱告的地方，若不是在正面要神的旨意成全，就是在反面要把鬼趕出去。千萬不要以為說，你的買賣賠錢，你全家禁食禱告，明天買賣就發財了，絕沒有這件事，這變作迷信。聖經裡的禁食禱告，總是人在地上摸著了神的心意，而要神來成全；
或是碰著神的仇敵，而要把他趕出去。

陸　不可輕易禁食

禁食的意義，既是這樣鄭重，所以我勸弟兄姊妹不要輕易禁食。在福音書裡我們讀不出，主耶穌是常常禁食的。千萬不要把禁食當作小可的事。乃是那些假冒為善的法利賽人纔說，他們一週禁食兩次，他們是把禁食當作很平常。在舊約裡，先知以賽亞非常責備這種禁食，這種禁食禱告神並不悅納。不要把禁食當作宗教儀式，也不要把禁食當作迷信的條件。乃是當神有一個重大的託付臨到你身上的時候，因著那個責任太重，事情太大，並且你愛神，要神，顧到神的旨意，到了一個地步，你願意把自己合法的享受權利放棄，同時你願意以生死相爭，這時你自然要禁食。

柒　必須有禁食

基督徒一面不可輕易禁食，一面又必須有禁食。若是一個基督徒，從來都沒有禁食過，他一定是有毛病。若不是神從來都沒有託過他一件事，就是他有了神的託付而不肯接受。你若從來都沒有感覺過，神有一個重大的責任臨到你身上，這就說出，你從來沒有一個堅決的態度向神表示說，你要神的旨意，你要站在神這一邊。你把神的事情看作無足輕重，傳福音也好，不傳福音也好；罪人得救也好，不得救也好，都沒有甚麼關係，反正你為他們禱告了，所以你禱告過後，還能嘻嘻哈哈的去喫去喝。弟兄姊妹，如果你的態度是這樣，你實在是一個不得了的基督徒！教會荒涼也好，不荒涼也好，你都不管，你的飯總得喫。你對神的事情沒有生死的觀念，這證明，你這個基督徒大有問題！你若是體貼一下神的心腸，福音的擔子就要壓在你身上，你還要以生死來爭；你要禱告說，神阿，福音必須有大能，你在這裡必須救一部分人，不然的話，我不能喫，不能喝。這就是禁食禱告。你也能關心神的家到一個地步，能對神說，神，我死都可以，教會這樣荒涼不可以，你若是不解決教會的荒涼，我寧可死。我告訴弟兄姊妹，到這
個時候，你一定要禁食。神的兒女，若從來都沒有這樣的經歷，那是不得了的事，那就證明我們沒有顧到神的旨意，也沒有感覺到神的仇敵

如何猖狂。所以甚麼叫作禁食？禁食就是說，你太顧到神的旨意，太感到神仇敵的猖狂，這樣的感覺把你壓到一個地步，逼到一個地步，你沒有辦法像一般人那樣喫喝、享樂，你一定要禁食。

捌　禁食的試驗

現在來看禁食的試驗。到底怎麼知道你該禁食呢？那就看你不喫餓不餓。你若是不喫覺到餓，想要喫飯，這就證明你不該禁食。你如果不喫也不餓，不喝也不渴，這時你就該禁食。有的時候，弟兄姊妹們說，我們大家禁食罷！但是早晨剛禁食，到了十一點就說，唉呀，我真是餓了。我告訴你，這次早晨的禁食就是錯誤的，是不應該的。所有真禁食的人都是不餓的。如果有一個姊妹是個寡婦，有一天又死去了她的獨生兒子，這個時候她三天不喫飯都不會餓。別人都替她擔心說，姊妹，你三天不喫飯不得了阿！她能說，我裡面一點不餓，這個飯我沒有法子喫下去。

所以當弟兄姊妹禁食的時候，若是能覺得餓，不如快快去喫飯，不必假冒為善，那是得罪神的。乃是當一個難為，一個重擔，一個心情，壓在你身上，叫你喫不下，好像裡頭沒有地方可以容納飯了，因為難處重擔把你裡面佔滿了。這個時候你不禁食也得禁食。所以該不該禁食，就看你不喫餓不餓。能餓就不要禁食，能不餓就要禁食。

玖　幾點該注意的事

末了再看幾點禁食禱告該注意的事。第一，如果真是有一個負擔，壓你到一個地步，非禁食不可的話，請記住，永遠不要光禁食而不禱告。要禁食而禱告。要盡量把禁食的時間，禁食的心情，禁食裡頭的重壓，都化作禱告。有經歷的人都知道，這一種禁食禱告，完全是脫離了套文，也不必思想，也不必記憶，完全是從裡頭發出來的。光禁食而不禱告，是最喫虧的事。你的身體要喫虧，你的精神要受傷，連你的靈都要受到虧損。並且沒有禱告，你的負擔也難成全。所以甚麼時候你有重壓，把你壓到一個地方，非禁食不可的時候，你就要盡力禱告。這樣的禱告會變作你靈裡的食物，也會叫你的精神得到相當的安撫，並且叫你的身體得到一種能力的供應。禁食不禱告，是一個大的消耗；禁食而禱告，是一個大的恢復。

其次，你在禁食禱告的時候，一直要提防有太多的事，成為你的負擔。不要禱告負擔以外的事，只要專一的為著那一件事禱告就可以了。你為甚麼這樣重擔壓身？你為甚麼這樣憂傷？你為甚麼這樣過不去？你為甚麼能這樣不喫也不餓？你就該專一的為著那一件事禱告。也許是為著福音，也許是為著教會，也許是為著某一個靈魂得救。我們的錯處，是當我們禁食的時候，還掛著許多別的事。凡這樣掛著許多別的事來禱告的時候，都是不該來禁食，因為還沒有到不能喫，不能喝，非到神面前禱告不可的地步。

真實的禱告都是因著人愛神，活在神面前，摸著了神的心意，神的靈就把神要作的一件事，變作很重的負擔壓在人身上，壓到一個地步，叫他沒有辦法喫喝，這個時候自然得禁食，並且要到神面前去禱告，這樣禱告的結果，當然是成全神的旨意，趕逐魔鬼，而且帶進神的權柄。

末了還有一點該注意的，就是當你真的有負擔要來禁食的時候，你不要作得太過。要學習在神面前有一個平衡。千萬不要以為說，主耶穌不是禁食四十天麼？摩西在山上不也是四十天麼？所以我禁食十天、八天都不要緊。二十多年以前，我就曾看見一個姊妹，因為禁食太過，身體太軟弱，精神過於疲憊，撒但就乘機攻擊她，別人也沒有法子幫助她，最後她就一直禁食到死。所以我們一面不要輕易禁食，另一面真有負擔的時候，也不要作得太過，要有一點平衡，作得差不多了就該停住。

最後，盼望在我們中間，一地一地，一時一時，都有人在那裡有禁食的禱告。在我們事奉主的過程中，總應該到一個時候，有的事我們在神面前過不去，我們就必須用禁食禱告來對付這些事。

Far and Beyond (Joel Osteen)

2010-02-03T08:29:00.001+08:00

Today’s Verse: “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever” (Ephesians 3:20-21, NAS).

Today’s Word:

I feel strongly in my spirit that it’s going to be an Ephesians 3:20 decade! God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can imagine! Let that take root on the inside. It’s going to be a far and beyond decade. Here’s what that means: you’re going to come into opportunities that will boggle your mind. You’re going to see your career take off like a rocket. You’re going to meet the right people who will help further your dreams. You’re going to accomplish goals more quickly than you imagined. You’re going to come out of debt and pay that house off even though it looked impossible. You’re going to get well even though the medical report says there’s no way. Things may be dark and gloomy around you, but keep your head held high. You have an advantage. You are a child of the Most High God. His face is shining down on you. God is saying it’s not going to be an average decade. It’s not going to be a barely-get-by decade. No, you need to get ready because it’s going to be a decade of favor, a decade of increase, a decade where you accomplish your God-given dreams!

Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for an exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade. I choose to put my trust in You knowing that You are directing my steps. Thank You for the good things You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

向著標竿直跑 - 令人無法抗拒的2010年

2009-12-29T10:25:00.000+08:00

Dec 27, 2009 火把教會主日禮拜信息

主題：向著標竿直跑 - 令人無法抗拒的2010年

Straining toward what is ahead - A compelling year of 2010

腓立比書3:13~14

13弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經得著了；我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，

14向著標竿直跑，要得神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。

詩篇65:11

11你以恩典為年歲的冠冕；你的路徑都滴下脂油，

我們該如何向著標竿直跑，迎接2010年呢？

一、我們要能忘記背後

1. 不要控訴別人，也不再自我控訴

以弗所書4:32

32 並要以恩慈相待，存憐憫的心，彼此饒恕，正如神在基督裡饒恕了你們一樣。

2. 脫離纏累我們的罪

要常常思想耶穌，因為活在罪惡中，驕傲或自卑等不好的感受會出來。

希伯來書12:1~3

1 我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，

2 仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在神寶座的右邊。

3 那忍受罪人這樣頂撞的，你們要思想，免得疲倦灰心。

3. 拋棄完美主義，享受人生

4. 不再陶醉過去的榮耀

馬可福音2:21~22

21 沒有人把新布縫在舊衣服上，恐怕所補上的新布帶壞了舊衣服，破的就更大了。

22 也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡，恐怕酒把皮袋裂開，酒和皮袋就都壞了；惟把新酒裝在新皮袋裡。

新的一年，用新的心態迎接新的境界、挑戰。

二、我們要設立目標，全力以赴

1. 設立可以達到的目標

詩篇81:10

10 我是耶和華─你的神，曾把你從埃及地領上來；你要大大張口，我就給你充滿。

2. 設立成長、健康、喜樂的目標

約翰三書1:2

2 親愛的兄弟阿，我願你凡事興盛，身體健壯，正如你的靈魂興盛一樣。

3. 設立祝福別人的目標

馬太福音6:33~34

33 你們要先求他的國和他的義，這些東西都要加給你們了。

34 所以，不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮；一天的難處一天當就夠了。

三、神以彩衣裝扮新的一年

彩衣：神的恩寵

1. 一個改變人心的一年

使徒行傳5:14

14 信而歸主的人越發增添，連男帶女很多。

2. 一個興旺、充滿大膽、創意、活力的一年

使徒行傳1:8

8 但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力，並要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地，和撒瑪利亞，直到地極，作我的見證。

3. 一個滿滿是愛的一年

哥林多前書13:13

13 如今常存的有信，有望，有愛這三樣，其中最大的是愛。

你對神的信心在哪裡？

2009-12-03T09:20:00.003+08:00

你對神的信心在哪裡？ 091127火把奇異火小組教材

信仰與信心，有什麼不同，「信仰」是指對某種的宗教、主義或是思想真正信服與尊崇。「信心」，是指不論對神、對人或是對事無懷疑，完全的相信，不但心裡相信，同時也用言行一致來表達。

一.指對上帝全然的依賴與獻身

如馬太福音二十二章37節耶穌對經學士所說的：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意、愛主你的上帝」。耶穌對基督徒的要求，是要人用完全的心志、態度和行動來愛主上帝，這是對所信仰的主上帝，一種最深的關注和相信。因此基督教的信心，不是一般人知識上的相信，或會隨著時間和環境而改變的信心，基督教所說的信心是對所信仰的主上帝完全地相信、屈服、信靠和獻身。

二.指對所盼望的事有把握，對不能看見的事能夠肯定

如希伯來書十一章1-2節所說的：「信就是所望之事的實底，是未見之事的確據。古人在這信上得了美好的證據」。因為歷史上許多前人，已經在這信仰上得到美好的印證，如今我們只要用堅定的信心來接受即可。

三.指口裡宣認耶穌是主，心裡相信上帝使祂從死裡復活（羅十9）。

四.指相信耶穌基督的福音（可一15；徒十七30-31；林前十五2-5）

上帝因為疼愛世人，在舊約時代，用十戒讓人來遵守成為得救的義人，但是人卻都做不到，一樣的犯罪，得罪上帝得罪人。人至少都有貪心、私慾、忌妒，應該做的好事都不去做，不該犯的錯偏偏去犯這些罪。人都是不完全的，所以才通過耶穌基督來替我們受死獻祭在上帝的面前，讓我們的罪得到赦免，讓我們一步一步來學習跟隨祂走過的腳步，過著祈禱的生活讓聖靈來幫助我們，叫我們得著能力，來活出不會得罪上帝，不會得罪人又有利益人的生命，這就是福音。

五.指相信有上帝，且信祂要賞賜給那尋求祂的人（來十一6）

在聖經裡有很多尋求祂的人，祂都與他同在。

六.指相信主必不撇下我們，也不丟棄我們（來十三5）

到世界末日時，祂必不會讓我們落在陰間，並且要引導我們到達樂園和天堂。

七.指相信主的恩典夠我們用，主的能力是在人軟弱時顯得更完全（林後十二9）

在我們軟弱的時候倚靠祂，祂就要更加添我們的力量。

八.指相信復活的主已將屬天的平安賞賜給我們，祂所賜的平安是勝過這世界所能給的（約十四27；十六33）

這個世界所能給我們的有限，父母給我們的又有多少，得到了全世界失去了生命，又有何意義？主耶穌所要給我們的是屬天的平安，是勝過世上所能給的真正的平安，生命與上帝連結的平安。

九.深信主能保全我們所交付祂的，也必保守祂所交託我們的直到那日─末日（提

後一12）我們所交付祂的是遇到的艱難，是將所遇到的事來交託祂，祂就必為我們來開路。祂所交託我們的，就是要我們活出生命的見證來為祂宣揚福音。祂所交付我們的，就是要我們過著彼此相愛的生活，熱心來服侍。這樣，祂就要保守我們所做的直到末日，我們一定要有這樣的相信。

十.指專心信靠上帝，不倚靠自己的聰明，在一切所行的事上，都認定祂，也相信祂必指引前面的路（箴三5-6）。

十一.指相信上帝是我們的保護者，是我們力量的源頭（詩九十一1-2）。

十二.指相信耶和華上帝是信實的上帝（哀三22-24）

世間的朋友會欺騙我們，上帝永遠不會說謊，他說要與我們同在，要給我們得到樂園與天堂，這些都是不會改變的。

十三.指那些願意悔改、歸向上帝的人，願意謙卑自己，遵行上帝旨意的人。

信心既是指人對上帝全然的信靠、順服及獻身的行為，有信心的人，就是指自己完全接受上帝引導和統治的人。這樣的人，就是指那些悔改、歸向上帝的人，也就是願意謙卑自己，順服上帝旨意的人。因此，所謂有信心的人，並不是單指外表的熱心，或形式上聖潔的人。更重要的是內外一致，全人格的改變，靈命得著更新，真正成為「以耶穌基督的心為心的人」。

領受：v.9 他若能與我戰鬥，將我殺死，我們就作你們的僕人；我若勝了他，將他殺死，你們就作我們的僕人，服事我們。

神允許苦難在我們身上發生，如果我們無法戰勝心裡的恐懼、害怕、畏縮、冷淡、退後等不屬神的黑暗勢力，我們就被撒旦征服，成了撒旦悪者的奴僕了；但今天我們很幸運的，我們有神可以倚靠，神為我們爭戰，當我們向神禱告祈求，我們勇敢地站起來走出去迎接生命的挑戰時，神必幫助我們，幫助我們勝了仇敵，殺死仇敵，叫仇敵從一條路來，從七條路逃跑，不要給魔鬼有任何傷害我們的餘地。

今天，我們也要站起來，打敗心裡的悪魔，叫那敵人遠遠地離開我們，讓我們靠主的名得釋放得真自由。今天你的仇敵是什麼？向神禱告交託，主必幫我們勝過。
哈利路亞！將榮耀歸給神！

如何醫治破碎的心

2009-10-28T13:03:00.001+08:00

如何醫治破碎的心 091023火把奇異火小組教材

【馬太福音5:4】「哀慟的人有福了！因為他們必得安慰。」
你們當中有多少人還記得你第一次心碎的經驗？我要如何在經歷到損失與心碎之後，仍舊活出喜樂的人生呢?

一、恩典、真理和時間
「忙」出差至地球認識了「恩典」之神與「真理」之神，「忙」為這兩位地球人的神下了個註解：
「恩典」之神 = 超仁慈 = 有熱情、重關係
「真理」之神 = 超嚴謹 = 限定界限、結構分明
「對的時間」：恩典和真理可以影響過去受傷經驗的時間
【以弗所5: 14】「你這睡著的人，當醒過來，從死裡復活，基督就要光照你了」

恩典 + 真理 + 時間 =從新的關係中改變舊有習得的認知

二、領受到從神而來的安慰

1. 知道神與我同在
當我們受傷的時候，我們往往會忘記神在哪裡。我們會以為神看起來是那麼地遙不可及，或者是神不在乎我；但是事實就是祂就在那裡與你同在。【詩篇34:18】「耶和華靠近傷心的人，拯救靈性痛悔的人。」

2. 需要記得的三件事情
* 神知道【約伯記13:27】「並窺察我一切的道路，為我的腳掌劃定界限。」
* 神關心【那鴻書1:7】 (現代中文譯本) 「上主至善。他保護在患難中的子民；他照顧投靠他的人。」
* 神想要幫助你【希伯來書4:16】「所以，我們只管坦然無懼地來到施恩的寶座前，為要得憐恤，蒙恩惠，作隨時的幫助。」

但我們在沮喪的時候無法不沮喪，所以你要怎麼做才能夠從痛苦中走出來，持續地行走在生命的道路上呢?

釋放你的傷痛，但怎麼做呢？
你要放手。但是你要怎麼做呢? 我必須要停止專注在我所損失的，開始專注在我還擁有的。【以賽亞書43:18-19a】「耶和華如此說：你們不要記念從前的事，也不要思想古時的事。看哪，我要做一件新事。」

對於你過去的傷痛，你可以做出以下的選擇 :
壓抑它、重演它、憎恨它、釋放它。神說，你不要壓抑它，也不要重演它，更不要憎恨它。
你要把你過去的傷痛釋放交託給神。這是什麼意思? 【羅馬書12:19】「親愛的弟兄，不要自己伸冤，寧可讓步，聽憑主怒；因為經上記著：「主說：『伸冤在我；我必報應。』」

三、倚賴神的資源來學習相連 .

【哥林多後書1:4】「用神所賜的安慰去安慰那遭各樣患難的人」

相連是在情緒上對人產生依附感的能力。在最深的層面和別人產生關係的能力。當兩個人有相連時，他們會分享他們最深的思維、夢想、感覺，並且不怕被對方拒絕。

學習與人相連技巧

1. 認識需要

許多人並未認識到他們的問題來自缺乏相連與依附。你或許來自一個不重視親密的家庭，或許曾受傷到一個程度使你忘了如何相連。因此需要認知你是多麼需要與人相依。

2. 靠近他人

當別人靠近你並尋求與你有心靈之交，是很美妙的；因為神是如此行。但許多時候，別人無法看到你的需要，不知道你在情感上有多孤立。因此你要盡力主動伸手尋求幫助和支持。

3. 向扭曲的思想挑戰

扭曲的思想是在人際關係中學來的，只有在人際關係中才能將此思想去除。因此，你需要新的關係來除去過去所學的，讓真實的自我在恩典與真理中與人連結並因此改變。

4. 冒險

要學習新的人際關係技巧和與人相依的方法是要冒險的，要冒再次受傷的險，是困難的，但也是必須的。

5. 容許有依賴的感覺

開始讓人在你孤立的心中有份量，使你不安的「有需要」和「依賴」的感覺會浮現，這是心開始軟化的表現，也是鞏固依附的關係並讓它成長。

6.倚靠聖靈

聖靈賜你能力改變並走出過去生活方式的捆綁。求祂釋放你脫離你過去緊握的防衛方式並給你勇氣來與別人相連。

Q&A

1.你經歷過神的安慰嗎？請簡要與我們分享。

2.你經歷生命中的破碎或傷痛嗎？今天的信息帶給你怎樣的幫助？讓我們彼此代禱。

歡喜服事主的祕訣

2009-10-07T18:06:00.000+08:00

歡喜服事主的祕訣 090828小組教材

人若抓住神所賜的人事物不放，注定不會開心，且還會使相關的人變得不開心；人若願意放手，願意用神給的人事物尊榮主，一定會活在喜樂當中。

『凡所行的，都不要發怨言，起爭論，使你們無可指摘，誠實無偽，在這彎曲悖謬的世代作成　神無瑕疵的兒女。你們顯在這世代中，好像明光照耀，將生命的道表明出來，叫我在基督的日子好誇我沒有空跑，也沒有徒勞。我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物，我若被澆奠在其上，也是喜樂，並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。你們也要照樣喜樂，並且與我一同喜樂。』(腓立比書2:14-18)

 什麼樣的事叫作服事？請舉例。

家中的服事：

教會中的服事：

社會中的服事：

 我們為什麼要服事？

因為愛，我們服事。督徒的生命表現，就是愛的表現。基督徒的生命表現，是彰顯基督的生命，基督的生命如何，我們就該投射出如何的生命。

「原來基督的愛激勵我們􀄌祂替眾人死，是叫那些活著的人不再為自己活，乃為替他們死而復活的主活。」（哥林多後書︰五14-15）􀀡

 在服事中有兩種關係要面對：

1.與人之間的關係，

2.與神的關係關係，

通常在服事中讓人覺得疲憊失望的是，與人之間的關係所發生的問題，和人溝通上的問題，自己意見不被接納等，產生怨言跟爭論。

 服事的正確態度：

1.謙卑：神總是賜恩給那些知道在祂面前謙卑自己的人，學習承認自己的軟弱、失敗和錯誤。

「我憑著自己不能做什麼，我怎麼聽見就怎麼審判。我的審判也是公平的；因為我不求自己的意思，只求那差我來者的意思。」(約翰福音5:30)

2.忠心：神不會一次就把大事託付給人，因為祂要試驗我們是否能在最小的事上忠心！

「人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不義，在大事上也不義。」(路加福音16:10)

3.愛心：服事的生命是愛的生命，耶穌服事我們到一個地步，甚至為我們死，這就是祂彰顯上帝榮耀的地方。

「……人子來，並不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，並且要捨命作多人的贖價。」（馬可福音11：45）

 如何喜樂地服事？

一、交託重擔、不要為神擔憂

我們不應該把別人的問題攬在自己身上，而是應該把別人帶到耶穌面前，把問題交給祂。因為神是主事者，我們只是神的同工，我們就是跟隨並按著神放在我心中的負擔去執行祂的計畫，神就會供應一切需要。

「你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神，因為他顧念你們。」(彼得前書5:7)

有一件事勝過這世上其它任何的事，就是神不要你為祂擔憂。

我們只是神的同工，是神在看顧自己的工作，不要將屬神的責任扛在自己肩上，或試圖靠自己行事，而不放手讓神來做。我們常懷著以利亞的心態，「主啊，你對這種情況束手旁觀，我卻是非常關心」。

「他在那裡進了一個洞，就住在洞中。耶和華的話臨到他說：以利亞啊，你在這裡做什麼﹖他說：我為耶和華─萬軍之神大發熱心；因為以色列人背棄了你的約，毀壞了你的壇，用刀殺了你的先知，只剩下我一個人，他們還要尋索我的命。」(列王紀上 19:9-10)

二、與神獨處

惟有花時間與神獨處，你的服事才能堅立，因為只有祂才是你服事的主。

每一位想要完成神在生命中所託付之使命與事奉的人，必須知道如何耐心等候、如何等候神；惟有神與我們同在，才會有真正的成功。

「就是少年人也要疲乏困倦；強壯的也必全然跌倒。但那等候耶和華的必從新得力。他們必如鷹展翅上騰；他們奔跑卻不困倦，行走卻不疲乏。」(以賽亞書40:30-31)

三、讓神來建造

你不可只是禱告，還要在禱告中明白神對你生命的計畫、啟示和異象。

等候耶和華是享受成功人生的關鍵，依據神對情勢的判斷接受祂的引導，並且凡事信靠祂。

當你看見神的心意，看見祂正在建造的事物時，你只需要緊緊跟隨祂。

「成就的是耶和華，造作、為要建立的也是耶和華；耶和華是他的名。他如此說：你求告我，我就應允你，並將你所不知道、又大又難的事指示你。」(耶利米書33:2-3)

1. 請和隔壁的分享你對今晚信息的領受(3分鐘)。

2. Q&A(3分鐘)

你在服事的行列中了嗎?

有沒有面對了與人的關係上的衝突呢？你如何解決？有求告神的幫肋嗎？

在服事中自己的態度是否有所偏離正軌，而產生了怨言或負面的情緒呢？

在服事中過程中，你喜樂嗎？與神的關係有沒有比未服事前更好呢？有沒有感受到與神的同在呢？你放手讓神來帶領了嗎？

如何討神喜悅

2009-10-07T16:08:00.005+08:00

如何討神喜悅 091009火把奇異火小組教材
一、學會順服，不憑己意而行，神就喜悅
二、當我們全心愛祂，神就喜悅
三、耐心等候祂，神就喜悅
四、當我們全心信靠祂，神就喜悅
五、當我們不斷讚美感謝祂，神就喜悅

一、學會順服，不憑己意而行，神就喜悅
亞伯拉罕為討神的喜歡，曾甘心把他老年所生的獨生子以撒獻給神作燔祭。神看見他的心意和他的順服，不但沒有容許他殺害以撒，而且把極大的福分賜與他，對他說，「你既行了這事，不留下你的兒子，就是你獨生的兒子，我便指著自己起誓說，論福，我必賜大福給你，論子孫，我必叫你的子孫多起來，如同天上的星，海邊的沙，你的子孫必得著仇敵的城門，並且地上萬國都必因你的後裔得福，因為你聽從了我的話。」(創世記22:16-18)。

討神的喜歡不但是最安全的道路，也是最省事的道路。如果你要討人的喜歡，你就必須看看這個人的臉色，再看看那個人的臉色；揣度一下這些人的心理，再揣度一下那些人的心理；環境更換，你也必須立時隨著環境更換；時代改變，你也必須趕快隨著時代改變。

二、當我們全心愛祂，神就喜悅
耶穌對他說：「你要盡心、盡性、盡意愛主─你的神。這是誡命中的第一，且是最大的。其次也相倣，就是要愛人如己。這兩條誡命是律法和先知一切道理的總綱。」(馬太22:37-40)

三、耐心等候祂，神就喜悅
神指示挪亞建方舟，以迎接大洪水的到來。左鄰右舍見毫無下雨的跡象，紛紛恥笑他是個傻子。然而挪亞不為所動，依然信靠神並繼續工作（參考創世記6:12-22）。

先請求更多的時間與神同在，全心全意來尊榮神，最後才是自己的需要、渴望和難題，如以斯帖花了12個月的密集訓練就只為了那一晚和王見一面。

四、當我們全心信靠祂，神就喜悅
「耶和華喜愛敬畏他和盼望他慈愛的人。」 (詩篇147:11)

五、當我們不斷讚美感謝祂，神就喜悅
「耶和華啊，尊大、能力、榮耀、強勝、威嚴都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；國度也是你的，並且你為至高，為萬有之首。豐富尊榮都從你而來，你也治理萬物。在你手裡有大能大力，使人尊大強盛都出於你。我們的神啊，現在我們稱謝你，讚美你榮耀之名！我算什麼，我的民算什麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻﹖因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。」(歷代志上29:11-14)

因著耶穌的犧牲，我們不需獻上祭物，卻要獻上「頌讚、感謝」為祭。敬拜是雙向的，當我們獻上讚美感謝時，不只是討神喜悅，我們也會經歷喜樂。（詩68:3）

** 自我檢查表，五個「要」來討神的喜悅

1、要端正
「行事為人要端正，好像行在白晝。不可荒宴醉酒，不可好色邪蕩，不可爭競嫉妒。」(羅馬書13：13)

2、要像光明的子女
「從前你們是暗昧的，但如今在主裡面是光明的，行事為人就當像光明的子女。光明所結的果子就是一切良善、公義、誠實。總要察驗何為主所喜悅的事。」(以弗所5：8~10)

3、要與蒙召的恩相稱
「我為主被囚的勸你們：既然蒙召，行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容，用和平彼此聯絡，竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。」(以弗所4：1~3)

4、要與基督的福音相稱
「只要你們行事為人與基督的福音相稱，叫我或來見你們，或不在你們那裡，可以聽見你們的景況，知道你們同有一個心志，站立得穩，為所信的福音齊心努力。」(腓立比書1：27)

保羅的生命已被徹底地改變，他要自己的生活與賜生命的福音相稱。人若是接受福音的豐盛，卻活在乾枯屬靈光景，真是悲慘！因著基督的寶血，人由死亡中被拯救，卻對救恩懷不敬虔的態度，是一件很羞恥的事。人先接受基督的愛，然後以憎恨回報，是很愚笨的。

5、要對得起主
「好叫你們行事為人對得起主，凡事蒙他喜悅，在一切善事上結果子，漸漸的多知道神。」(歌羅西書1：10)

基督的奴僕

2009-10-07T15:36:00.001+08:00

經文：哥林多前書7:20~24

領受：v.22 因為作奴僕蒙召於主的，就是主所釋放的人；作自由之

人蒙召的，就是基督的奴僕。

我們是基督的奴僕，不是人的奴僕；我們靈是被主所釋放的，

不是被罪所捆綁的；我們的道路方向是掌握在主的手中，不是受人

話語所轄制限制的。主要我們在情感、家庭、工作、事業上得著

靈裡的自由，經歷屬天的無限喜樂，而不是看見那有形的外在限制。

我們雖然跌倒，但神要使用我們失敗處，醫治恢復傷痛，讓

人看見神的榮耀、神的奇妙。我們的家庭、感情、工作或許不順利，

但神要帶領我們到另一個新的境界，我們只管放手讓神掌權，每天

再一次承認主，信主是讓我們得釋放得真自由的。將權柄和主張都交

在主的手中時，就會看見自己的家庭、感情、工作是要榮耀神，為神

做見證的。
