出埃及记 22:1 人若偷牛或羊，无论是宰了，是卖了，他就要以五牛赔一牛，四羊赔一羊。(现代标点和合本)
Exodus 22:1 If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. (NKJV)
圣经说以五牛赔一牛，四羊赔一羊。 为什么要多给牛呢？ 按照神的方式，你失去的越多，你就被偿还的更多。 圣经说盗贼来是要偷窃、杀害和毁坏，但主耶稣说祂来了是要赐给我们生命。 魔鬼偷窃了你的东西吗？是的，在我们生命中的某个时刻，我们所有人都曾经失去过，无论是金钱、健康、人际关 系还是挚爱的人。但现在，你可以 宣告神对你和你家人的修复是超乎你所求所想的。 阿们！让我们祷告神不单只是维修我们的生命，而是修复我们的生命。我们的生命是走在新生的样式中。 如果你深入研读圣经，你会发现到神有各样的修复。也许你们当中有些人花了长时间维持一段不令人满意的关系，或是在生意上做了错误的决策。也许可能由于一个不明智的决 定，你现在正处于财务困境中。教会，神的子民不需要活在悔恨中。祂今天对你说，那些年月你被蝗虫所吞吃的，祂都要修复给你。 神是在时间以外，祂是时间之神。 圣经说，在祂的殿中住一日，胜似在别处住千日；在祂殿中住一天，你所得着的修复是远远超越你在世界千日的劳苦。
Five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep. Why more for the ox? In God’s way, the more you lose, even more will be restored to you. The bible says that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus said that He has come to give us life. Has the devil stolen something from you? Yes, at some point in our lives, all of us have lost something, be it money, health, relationships, or a loved one. But now, you can proclaim that God’s restoration for you and your family’s loss will be greater than what you can ever ask or imagine. Amen. Let us not ask God to repair our lives but to restore our lives. We will walk in the newness of life. If you delve into the bible, you will find that it talks about various forms of restoration. Perhaps there are some among you who have dedicated several years to an unfulfilling relationship or a regrettable business choice. It could be that, due to an unwise move, you now find yourself on the brink of financial ruin. You would have squandered the many years devoted to establishing your company. Church, the people of God do not need to live in regret. God is telling you today that He will restore to you the years that the locusts has eaten. God is above time. He is the God of time. The bible says that it is better to live in the house of God under His covering and His favour for one day than a thousand days elsewhere. One day of His provision is better than what you can find outside in the world.
