Life In Christ

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

Colossians 3:3 - For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Do you know that the moment when you accepted Jesus, your old nature has died? The old nature with disease, with ear, with curses, with spiritual death, with poverty has died because Jesus has done it all at the cross. Therefore, you are a new creation in Christ Jesus, the new you carry exactly the same nature, the same attributes, the same mindset as Jesus Christ. However, you have to allow your mind to be constantly renew and lean on to the Word of God instead of your feeling. When your mind and your spirit are agreeing on the truth and the finished work of Jesus, you shall see transformation happens! Therefore, know that your life now is hidden with Christ in God. You are no longer you who live, but Christ lives in you. When He is in you, when your life is hidden in Him, you can be sure of that peace, joy, inheritances, abundance, blessings, favour are all yours! In Him, you will find life and life more abundantly. You are no longer the same, you are the child of God, you are extraordinary, you are new, you are powerful, you are with authority, believe that!

耶稣的宝贝

Wednesday, October 1, 2014

赛 43:4 - 因我看你为宝为尊,又因我爱你,所以我使人代替你,使列邦人替换你的生命。

在每个父母的眼中,自己的小孩都是宝贝,是父母们所爱的,愿意牺牲一切只为了要他们的宝贝是常在好的环境中。你知道吗?我们的神也不例外,祂也有自己的宝贝,就是我们,每一个相信祂的人,祂的孩子们。祂爱我们到一个地步,愿意牺牲祂的独生爱子耶稣基督,为我们钉在十字架上,担当我们的罪孽,好使我们今天可以坦然无惧的来到神的施恩宝座前,得怜恤,蒙恩惠,做随时的帮助。

因着耶稣基督的救赎,我们今天是圣洁的,公义的,并且我们是神的至宝,祂眼中的瞳人。在这世上的父母虽然不好,尚且知道拿好东西给儿女,何况我们在天上的父,岂不更把好东西给求祂的人吗?(太 7:11)每个做父母的,都会把最好的留给孩子,同样的我们在天上的父,更是如此。凡父所有的,都是属于我们的。祂从不吝啬给予我们祂所有的,包括了物质上的和灵里的。今天你所需要的,祂一样都不少给,反而是超乎我们所求所想的。因为我们的神不是一个吝啬的神,而是一个慷慨的神,到一个地步祂毫无保留的给了我们。

朋友们,不要再觉得自己是不重要,自己是没人爱的。要永远记得,并且清楚知道有一个神是爱你到底的神。今天无论你做了什么,祂依然是爱你到底;今天无论你犯了什么错,祂对你的爱也从来没有少过。要永远记得我们是耶稣基督的至宝,是祂捧在手心呵护的,祂舍不得看我们难过,舍不得我们忧愁,更舍不得看我们活在病痛中。因此,祂把祂所有的一切丰盛都给了我们,包括灵、魂、体的兴盛,好让我们在这世上可以享受祂所为我们预备的一切。阿门!

In the Household of God

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

Ephesians 2:19 - Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household.

Do you know that the moment you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, you are no longer foreigner and stranger in the kingdom of God? You are no longer belonging to the kingdom of darkness, but had been rescued into the kingdom of the Son. Therefore, you no longer has any share to the things of darkness, you do not belong to sicknesses, curses and poverty; but instead being as the fellow citizen and the member of God's household, you are able to enjoy all that the Father has! You can sure of that whatever includes in the salvation, you can enjoy them to the full! Therefore, freedom is yours, peace is yours, joy is yours, the love is yours, authority is yours and the inheritance is yours! Enjoy them today by knowing that you are in the family of God, and when God is your Father and He is at your side, nothing can stand against you!

与神亲近就好

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

诗 73:28 - 但我亲近神是与我有益,我以主耶和华为我的避难所,好叫我述说你一切的作为。

每天睁开眼睛,我们的脑袋总会开始计划一整天我们所要做的事,并且想要一整天都是顺利亨通的。其实,这并不难。当我们一睁开眼睛那一刻开始,就向神献上满心的感恩,开始与神亲近。你知道吗?当我们与神亲近是对我们有益的,就好像一棵树,栽在溪水旁,按时结果子,叶子也不枯干。(诗 1:3)意思是,凡我们所作的尽都顺利,要看见凡我们手所摸的必要成就,因为当我们把所作的交托耶和华,我们所谋的就必成立。(箴 16:3)

朋友们,当我们的心是系在神的话语上,无论你行走,祂必引导你;你躺卧,祂必保守你;你睡醒,祂必与你谈论。(箴 6:22)就是说,无论我们做什么,身在何处,祂都必与我们同行。因为祂是总不撇下我们,也不丢弃我们的神。(希 13:5b)有神与我们同在,我们还惧谁呢?当祂是我们的帮助,还有什么能拦阻我们呢?

所以,让我们无时无刻,无论身在何处,都要时常与祂亲近。与神亲近并不难,但却有很多的基督徒用一个“忙”字来当藉口,告诉自己也告诉别人没有时间来亲近神。其实,一句赞美,一个祷告,一首诗歌,都是与祂亲近。当我们的心时时刻刻默想神的话,把祂的话刻在心版上,就是与神亲近了。因此,不要再做糊涂人,要明白主的旨意里如何,要领受神丰盛的生命。阿门!

渺小巨人

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

撒加利亚书4:6 万军之耶和华说:不是倚靠势力,不是倚靠才能,乃是倚靠我的灵方能成事。

当這個高大的敵人昂首闊步地踏入以拉谷,他身高九呎,身穿铜铠甲,头戴铜盔,带着矛槍,甚是彪悍。看起來,歌利亞似乎所向無敵,而扫罗与他的军队都非常惧怕他。

然而,有一个牧羊童,大衛,却不害怕,因着他信靠耶和华上帝的名,所以他看得透澈,眼光远大。雖然歌利亞看起來是個巨人,行動也很唬人,不過在永生上帝面前,他却是渺小的。因着大卫对上帝有正確的认识,因此,他能夠 準確掌握整個局势。他把歌利亞看作蔑視永生上帝軍隊的人(撒母耳記上17:26)。大卫只身穿牧羊人的衣服,拿著杖、五塊石頭和投石器,滿有信心地站在歌 利亞面前。他的信心不是因為自己的裝備,而是因為知道上帝與他同在(撒母耳記上17:45)。

今天,你面對的巨人是什么呢?是工作上無法處理的狀況,經濟上的困境,或是一段破裂的關係,还是那虚无飘渺的失落感?與全能的上帝相比,世上的一切都显為渺小;沒有什么能大 到上帝無法解決;没有什么困难是过不去的。上帝祂願意,祂也能幫助你,你能靠着祂的大能大力胜过你的环境,也能用你意想不到的方式為你成就。啊们!

Perfect Love

Monday, September 29, 2014

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

As you can see around the world, people are seeking for love and approval. Teenagers are hungering for love and seeking desperately for someone to approve them. However, do you know that the moment when you accept Jesus, you are totally a new creation? In His love, there is no fear. The love of God towards you is perfect, it does not require you to qualify it, but you just only need to believe it, receive it and enjoy it. The good news is you are already perfected by His love, you are a new creation, you are alive again with Christ, your identity has changed, you are no longer a sinner but righteous! Therefore, fear no more in His love, today, know that you are well protected, supplied and being taken care of! For Jesus loves you, this you have to know!

你必看见神的荣耀

Monday, September 29, 2014

约翰福音11:40 – 耶稣说:我不是对你们说过,你若信,就必看见神的荣耀吗?
约翰一书5:19 - 我们知道,我们是属神的,全世界都卧在那恶者手下。

圣经里很多处都说,我们是属神的,我们的身份是天国的子民,只是暂时居住在这世界,却不属于这世界,我们的行事为人,应当是按着圣经的系统与法则,不再是按着属世的方式。而上帝的方式往往是与世界背道而驰的,但许多的人因此在短期内无法看到果效而放弃了,因着无法坚守所承认的指望,就放弃了。。。你知道吗?你若能信,就必看见神的荣耀吗?是的,那位应许你的是信实的,祂必成就这事(帖前5:24)。

所以,为何还容让未來的忧郁这样摧殘你呢?誰告訴你你的日子永远处于黑夜呢?誰告訴你 冬日的霜雪冰雹永不會融解呢?誰告訴你今日的風雨會越下越大呢?誰告訴你你的失望會變成絕望呢?这些都是谎言,你的生命不应当是如此的。。。约翰一书4:17告诉你:因为耶稣如何,你在这世上的生命也必如何!因着耶稣的一次献祭,一切属灵的福气都已经给了你!啊们!

豈不知嚴冬一過就是春夏麼?你永远不会呆在缺乏贫穷、病痛忧患里的,这只是暂时,终究会过去,它们都不能在你生命中停留,你是上帝的孩子,有能力释放这些福份在你生命里。所以你當仰望上帝!诗篇34:18-19说【耶和华的眼目,看顾敬畏祂的人,和仰望祂慈爱的人,要救他们的命脱离死亡,并使他们在饥荒中存活】。哈利路亚!

Listen to Him

Sunday, September 28, 2014

Ecclesiastes 7:5 - It is better to heed the rebuke of a wise person than to listen to the song of fools.

Do you know that Jesus is the wisest man and so does His word? Many of times, we choose to listen to what the circumstances say or what people says but never focus and eye on what Jesus says. The ultimate and first importance is, what does He say? The next time when you start to be in fear, remember that Jesus said He does not give you a spirit of timidity but of courage. The next time when you are worrying about your tomorrow, remember that Jesus said cast your cares to Him for He cares for you. The next time when that symptom alarms, remember that Jesus said by His stripes you are already healed. Therefore, it is always better to listen to the wise person and His word, instead of listening to the song of fools. For only the Word of God brings you life and sets you free! Today, make a decision and listen and follow Jesus, He will surely lead you to green pasture, and all your need shall be supplied the moment when you believe in Him!

Satisfied with His Love

Saturday, September 27, 2014

Psalm 90:14 - Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

Do you know what is the secret of having constant joy and satisfaction in your life? Many will think that as long as you have whatever that you need in life, then you can be happy. However, do you know that there is a secret in unlocking joy in your daily life? That is to be satisfied with the unfailing love of Christ early in the morning. Before you start your daily routine, pause and meditate on His love, allow His love to transform you and touch you. It is only when you are full and satisfied with His love, then you are able to sing for joy and be glad of all your days! The love of God is the source of joy, the love of God is the key in unlocking all the promises that He has for you, the love of God is power, it is empowerment! Empowering you to move on in life with joy and gladness, empowering you to live life never the same! Therefore, keep yourself in the Word and know how much Jesus loves you today, as you are satisfied and full, you are able to give!

爱的行动

Saturday, September 27, 2014

约一 4:19 我们爱,因为神先爱我们。
约 13:34-35 我赐给你们一条新命令,乃是叫你们彼此相爱;我怎样爱你们,你们也要怎样相爱。你们若有彼此相爱的心,众人因此就认出你们是我的门徒了。

亲爱的朋友,你真的知道何为爱吗?
爱是恒久忍耐,又有恩慈;爱是不嫉妒,爱是不自夸,不张狂,
不作害羞的事,不求自己的益处,不轻易发怒,不计算人的恶,
不喜欢不义,只喜欢真理;
凡事包容,凡事相信,凡事盼望,凡事忍耐。
爱是永不止息。
(1co 13:4-8)

其实,爱已经被清楚地记录在圣经里。有多少时候我们有察觉到爱的存在呢?
你知道神就是爱吗? (约一 4:8)
神爱我们爱到一个地步牺牲了他的独生子耶稣为你和我死在十字架上。(约 3:16 & 约一 4:9-10)
在爱里,我们找到了忍耐,不管我们失败了多少次,无论我们多少时候让他失望,他一直在那里给我们机会回转。
在爱里,我们找着了慈爱,不论我们配不配得,他永远都给与我们那一切上好的。
在爱里,我们领受了他的一切。他做了那替换,给了我们他的一切,同时挪去我们那一切不好的。
在爱里,我们领受宽恕,他不再纪念我们的罪愆和过犯因着耶稣一次的献祭。
在爱里,我们是完全被保护的,我们得以在不同的环境中享受那活泼的盼望。
在爱里,我们被托付好多的恩赐和才能。

所以,不要让这爱停止在我们生命中流动。持续不断地领受和默想神那永不改变的爱,然后让这爱接着你的生命来影响世界。
不要只说“我爱你”,而是从现在开始,将这爱化成动力变得实际,彰显在你的生命中去爱你身边的每个人。
记得,这爱能够改变世界和生命因为这爱永不止息!

Love In Action

Saturday, September 27, 2014

1John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
John 13:34-35 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Dear friend, do you truly know what is LOVE?
LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
LOVE never fails!
(1co 13:4-8)

In fact, LOVE has been described and mentioned throughout the Bible. But how many times we realize the presence of this LOVE?
Do you know that GOD is LOVE? (1John 4:8)
God loves us until a point He has sacrificed His one and only Son JESUS to die on the cross for you and me. (john 3:16 & 1John 4:9-10)
In LOVE, we found patient, no matter how many times we have failed, regardless how many times we have disappoint Him, He is always there giving us chance to come back.
In LOVE, we found kindness, regardless we deserve it or not, He is always there to give us the best He could gives.
In LOVE, we receive all that He has when the exchange takes place. We have all that He has and He borne all that suppose to be ours.
In LOVE, we receive forgiveness and He will remember our sins no more for Jesus has sacrificed once and for all our sins.
In LOVE, we are well protected, we can enjoy the living hope in all circumstances.
In LOVE, we are being entrusted by God with many gifting and talent in life.

Therefore, do not let this LOVE stop flowing in our life. Keep on receiving and meditating the unfailing LOVE of God, then let this LOVE flows through your life to impact the world.
Stop saying "I LOVE YOU" only, but from now on, put this LOVE into action and let it manifest in your life by loving everyone around you.
Remember, this LOVE can change the world and lives for the LOVE never fails!

神所应许的生命

Friday, September 26, 2014

罗 4:21 - 且满心相信神所应许的必能做成。

相信在这世上每一个人都希望自己有个美满丰盛的生活。这是对的,神也应许给我们是丰盛的生命,耶稣来,是要给我们生命,并且是更丰盛的生命(约 10:10b),若神的本意是如此,那么我们的生命不可能过得凄凄惨惨,过着不平安的生活。但却还是有些人得不到这样的生活,为什么呢?其实,人生就像宝藏一样,我们的人生旅途就是一直往有宝藏的地方去。宝藏早已在那里等着我们,我们只需照着宝藏图一直往前走,肯定寻得宝藏。就好像丰盛的生命早已预备好给我们,我们只需照神的话引导而得到它。

但是,在这世上却有许多的人自以为聪明,不照着宝藏图的路线走,反而找了许多的捷径,到最后,不但没有抵达目的地,反而迷了路,碰了钉,搞得自己浑身是伤。神的话就是宝藏图,就是那指引,我们只需要跟着神的话去行,必看见我们生命中所需的不至缺乏,并且是福杯满溢的。神所应许次给我们的生命不但是丰盛的,是有余的,更是超乎我们所求所想的。今天,平安是我们的,喜乐是我们的,健康是我们的,和睦是我们的,仁爱是我们的,和平是我们的,忍耐是我们的,温柔是我们的,信实是我们的,节制也是我们的。当我们领受神的应许,我们也有了圣灵的果子在我们生命中,并且这些果子是带给我们好处的。

朋友们,单单的相信并且领受神的应许在我们的生命中,常默想神的话,清楚知道祂对我们的旨意,清楚知道我们的有什么权柄,清楚知道我们的身份。当我们坚定地相信的时候,就必看见生命中的一切丰盛彰显出来,并且我们要吃这一切的美物。阿门!

神给了你价值

Friday, September 26, 2014

创世记30:12 - 神给了我价值。。。
我們人啊,在一生之中都希望從別人身上获得自我存在的價值感,在內心深处,我們都需要被肯定,觉得自己是重要的。

有些人將他们的價值建立在人的看法,或一段关系中,或事业上,或金钱权势上。但,當你的價值感是來自於别人所給的感受,相对的,他们也可能会傷害你、让你失望,這些人与事都不会稳固,甚至改变。而你就会开始將問题转移到自己身上,觉得“是不是我哪裡做错了?我不够尽心尽力吗”?不是的,你錯了,這其中最大的問題是,你將自我的價值感放错位置了。
你知道吗?这世上的一切都不长久,那我們又該從哪裡找到属于自己的價值呢?
我們的價值应该來自於上帝的真理,來自於我們是至高神的兒女,知道我們是重要的,知道上帝看我們为宝为尊(以赛亚43:4),祂給予我們的价值不会因為人做了什麼而改变,這不是憑自己或是他人可以做的到的。

所以从從今天開始,不要再從人的身上找尋自我價值感,而大過於天父對你的愛,希伯来书1:11-12说 【天地都要灭没,祢却要长存;天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了。祢却要将天地卷起来,像一件外衣;天地就都改变了。惟有祢永不改变,祢的年数没有穷尽】。領受從天父而來的平靜與安稳,你的價值感是來自於天上永恒的国度。啊们!

Mind Issue

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – If anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.

The moment when you wake up, thoughts are already rushing into your mind without your permission. Regardless it is a good thought or a bad thought, every day there are thousands and thousands of thoughts dominating you. If you never filter those thoughts that go around your mind, you will start to lean to them and live life defeatedly. Your mind is a battlefield, and a battlefield is a place of conflict and disagreement. Likewise, the devil is throwing a lot of lies and disagreement to you, making you doubting and disagreeing what the Word of God says.

The Word of God is the truth. Thus, if you want to have a right living, you have to have a right believe, and of course a right believe starts with right thinking. Therefore, start to meditate the Word of God, think of Jesus, putting Him before you, for He is lovely, He is true, He is right, He is the only one who is admirable. As you start to take up the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, you will never lose this battle! For you have already won through Christ, and all you need is to fight to believe! Believe that you are already healed, you are already blessed, you are the head and not the tail; and believing comes from the Word of God!

Enemies at Your Feet

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Psalm 110:1 - The Lord says to my lord: " Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

Do you know that you have a sure victory the moment when you received Christ? He conquered and you are more than a conqueror. Therefore you need to know that you do not need to fight for victory, instead you only need to fight from the victory! You are already standing on the ground of victory, and the only thing is, whether you believe or you are not. Jesus is already now in victory and sitting at the right hand of the Father, it is a place of authority and sitting means He has done it all! He has conquered all the fear, curses, sicknesses, poverty, sins at the cross, and as He is, so are you in this world! You are now raised and seated with Christ together at the right hand of the Father too (Ephesians 2:6)! Because of that you can be sure that all enemies have become your footstool. Therefore, look down and you will find sickness, problems are all defeated under you, look up and you will know that Jesus is your victory, and whom shall you fear?

神全副的属灵军装

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

弗 6:13 - 所以,要拿起神所赐的全副军装,好在磨难的日子抵挡仇敌,并且成就了一切,还能站立得住。

当我们口里认耶稣为主,心里信神叫祂从死里复活那一刻开始,神就赐给我们一份礼物,就是神的属灵军装。这份属灵的军装是帮助我们在这世上能够活得精彩,能够在磨难的日子,依然站立得稳,不至摇动。是的,在这恶者掌权的世上我们是有苦难,但是耶稣却告诉我们,叫我们可以放心,因为祂已胜了这世界。(约 16:33)但当我们活在这世上,就会面对种种的问题,有时候这些事却会缠绕着我们,甚至有些时候会绊倒了人。因此,神把这属灵军装赐给祂的孩子们,就是要我们懂得拿起神所赐的权柄,好让我们能够抵挡仇敌,能够灭绝恶者一切的火箭,能够知道恶者的诡计。

今天,我们要用真理当作带子束腰,因为神的话是我们脚前的灯,是我们路上的光(诗 119:105),当我们晓得真理,真理就必叫我们得自由。(约 8:32)因此,真理在我们的生命中扮演着非常重要的角色,是指引我们前面的路。接着,用公义当作护心镜遮胸,我们既因信称义,就藉着耶稣基督与神相和。(罗 5:1)要知道无论如何,在基督里我们都是不被定罪的,因为有耶稣成为我们的义。再下来,又用平安的福音当作预备走路的鞋穿在脚上,我们的一天若要看到接结出丰盛的果子,就要有平安的福音。你知道吗,一双好的鞋子能使我们走更远的路,所以,神平安的福音就是我们的推动力,能使我们纵然活在这世上却仍然有平安。此外,又拿着信德当作藤牌,可以灭尽那恶者一切的火箭。我们的信心能使我们站立得稳,不怀疑神所作的一切。或许在我们的生命里有问题的发生,但是我们依然相信在乌云的背后有蓝天,神必把更好的赐给我们。并戴上救恩的头盔,拿着圣灵的宝剑,就是神的道。是的,当我们有了神的救恩,同时我们也有了神的话。因此,我们必须常常默想神的话,把它刻在心版上,昼夜思想。你知道吗,在这全副的属灵军装里,唯一一件能攻击敌人的就是圣灵的宝剑,就是神的道。今天我们之所以能战胜,不是靠我们的肉体,而是因着神的话,因为神的话能攻破一切的营垒,能打败各样的计谋。

所以,朋友们,让我们天天的检查自己是否已穿戴了神全副的属灵军装,好让我们每一天的生命是过的得胜有余,并且是丰盛的。阿门!

耶稣最完美的献祭

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

希伯来书10:12 - 但基督献了一次永远的赎罪祭,就在神的右边坐下了。

你知道现在耶稣在哪里吗?祂坐在天父的右边。为什么祂在那里,还坐下来呢?因为祂的工作已经完成了(约翰福音19:30),而你所要做的工,就是相信耶稣为你成就的一切(约翰福音6:29)。

因着亚当,我们都是罪人,就算我们没有犯什么滔天大罪,依旧还是罪人,而罪人都亏缺上帝的荣耀,与上帝之间的关系,永远有一道无法跨越的鸿沟。我们都是被咒诅及定罪的,但感谢耶稣,惟有祂在我们还作罪人的时候就为我们死,背负我们的罪孽,代替我们成为罪人,被钉死在十字架,第三天从死理复活,使我们从罪里得了释放,作了义的奴仆(罗马书6:18)。箴言10:6说“福祉临到义人的头”,当你是义人,就可享有上帝美好的福份。

你问:“那如果我犯错了又该怎么办呢?”

每当你发脾气,做错了决定,甚至犯了不该犯的错,感谢耶稣祂不看你的软弱,祂体恤你,所以祂说祂的恩典够你用;感谢耶稣在祂里面你不被定罪,祂不再纪念你的罪愆和过犯了(希伯来书10:17,罗马书8:1)。

耶稣的死是最完美的献祭,上帝不需要任何的献祭了。你行善,你奉献,尽心尽意的服事,这都是好事,但不是靠这些赎罪,而是因为回应耶稣的爱,如同在属世一样,你也会为所爱的人无私的付出。以弗所书6:6说“不要只在眼前事奉,像是讨人喜欢的,要像基督的仆人,从心里遵行神的旨意”。当抱着这样的心态时,就会豁然开朗,不再被奴仆的轭辖制。

耶稣的一次献祭,已经完全了你所需要的一切,祂一次把自己献在十字架上,成了永远的赎罪祭,所以不需要再为罪献祭了。从现在起,坦然无惧的来到施恩宝座前吧,祂是你随时的帮助与依靠;当你把所做的都交托给祂,你所谋的,就必成立(箴言16:3)。啊们!

He Lives

Tuesday, September 23, 2014

Psalm 18:46 - The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Saviour!

Today know that because Jesus has resurrected, therefore you can be assured that you have a life of resurrection! A life of resurrection has no room for death, sickness, poverty to stay; instead a life of resurrection is full of power, is a new life! The Lord lives, it is such a wonderful truth to know that the God you believe in is not dead, but living. When He lives, you can face tomorrow; when He lives, you know that you are in a good hand; when He lives, nothing can stand against you! Therefore, instead of thinking of all the problems around you, be reminded that the Lord lives! He is your Rock, He is your Saviour, and no one else can be greater than your Rock and your Saviour! As He is, so are you in this world, He has no tumor, so do you! He has no sicknesses, so do you! See yourself in Christ today, and knowing that He lives therefore you live!

Set Your Heart On Things Above

Monday, September 22, 2014

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1 NIV)

Your mind is a battlefield, and every morning the moment when you wake up, thousands and thousands of thoughts are there to pull you down and to build strongholds in you. If you will lose the battle of your mind, you'll see defeats in your life. For only right believing produces right living. Therefore even as a child of God, mind renewal and transformation should be a consistent progress, that from moment to moment we are to let our minds focus on what Christ has done! Therefore, the next time when the defeated thoughts came, set your heart on things that Christ has done for you. Instead of looking at your circumstances and have a defeated thought, be reminded of where Christ is! He is at a position of victory, and as Christ is, so are you in this world!

我们的生命

Monday, September 22, 2014

林前 10:31 - 所以你们或吃或喝,无论作什么,都要为荣耀神而行。

很多人总以为,人得救了是因着神的恩典,不在乎行为,因此我们的行为就不再重要了。其实,救恩的确不是因着我们的行为而得着,但是,我们的行为依然非常重要。因为我们的行为反映出我们的神的性情,因为我们是披戴基督,是与神的性情有份的。基督徒是通过圣经更进一步认识耶稣基督,但外邦人,就是非信徒,是通过我们基督徒的生命来认识耶稣。就好比你告诉一个非信徒,你的神耶稣基督是个光明的神,但你却在暗地里做一些非法的勾当,那么你要如何让人看见你的神是光明正直的神呢?若你告诉人你的神是饶恕的神,但是你的行为却是一直怀恨在心,不能原谅,那么别人如何看见你的神是饶恕的神呢?

朋友们,我们虽然已经得救,但是在我们身边还有许许多多的人还未得救。我们的生命就是一个见证,能够影响身边的人归向神。因此,基督徒不是因着恩典可以放纵,而是因着恩典要更多走一里路。别人不可以做的,我们不是不可以,而是能克制自己不要去做,尤其是那些没有益处的事,例如抽烟,喝酒,赌博等等。我们能够靠着耶稣基督的恩典除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲,在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日。(提 2:12) 很多时候,我们的灵沉睡,导致我们体贴肉体的事。所以,我们要常在神的话里,让我们的灵是警醒的,是要让我们的体服我们的灵,好让我们的灵是体贴圣灵的事。(林前 9:27)当我们这样行的时候,必看见我们的生命不再一样。

今天,身为基督徒的我们拥有一切上好并且丰盛的生命,我们拥有神所赐的一切好处。所以,不要再做无知的民,要懂得运用我们的权柄,要知道我们所有的,并且活出在我们的生命中,好让我们的生命是可以把荣耀归给神的。阿门!
