Psalms 75:6-7
No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man.
But it is God who judges; He brings one down, he exalts another.

Dear brother and sister in Christ, do you know that you are the chosen one to be blessed and exalted in life?
When we trust God in life, our heads are lifted up and we are full of glory, for nothing can be achieved by our own efforts but all things are done by Jesus Christ alone.
Is Him, who will never let the one who trusts in Him be put to shame!
Therefore, you can be assured knowing that when God is with you, nothing can be against you.
When God is for you, nothing is too hard that He cannot solve for you.
Today, no matter what challenges you are facing, know that God is there to exalt you and lead you into triumphal.
You no longer need to compromise to the sickness in your body knowing that God is there to heal and exalt you for His glory!
Though the world economic is not in good condition, but do know that no one from the east or the west or the desert can exalt you, means that is not the good economic can exalt you, but is God who exalts you according to His glorious riches!

No matter what you need to do or what you need to decide today, be firm and bold knowing that no one else can caused you trouble, no one else can exalts you either, but the Lord your God has chosen you and exalts you in life for His glory!
So, trust in Him in all that you do, acknowledge Him in all your ways, surely your better days are ahead of you, for you have the great shepherd-JESUS CHRIST, walking in front of you leading you to a higher and better place.

希伯来书11：1“信就是所望之事的实底，是未见之事的确据”。

在面对问题时，你的心思是专注在问题上？在钻牛角尖？还是定睛仰望耶稣的荣美，相信问题只是暂时的，它不能在你生命中停留；还是你就此被问题捆绑无法前进。。。

活在这世上，每一个人都会遇到问题，但耶稣向我们保证在祂里面有平安，因为祂已经胜了世界（约翰福音16：33）。当问题临到，是选择相信耶稣已经胜过问题，还是选择以自己的血气跟问题搏斗，都取决于自己。这并不是说你要逃避问题，而是当你思想神的话语的同时，你就在思念神国的事，心自然而然就会满有盼望，往对的方向前进。

也许你会说；“只要我的情况好转一些，只要能脱离这糟糕的状况，我就来相信。。。”很抱歉，这行不通，你必须先来相信，然后才会看见转变，约翰福音20：29说：“你因看见了我才信，那没有看见就信的有福了”！你的心思要反方向思考，在消极的环境中，仍然相信是被眷顾的，靠着神，相信自己的人生不会就此停顿。不要自己紧捉问题，要把一切都卸给耶稣，因为祂就是要来帮助你。

罗马书12：2说的很贴切，不要效法这个世界，只要心意更新而变化，叫你们察验何为神的善良、纯全、可喜悦的旨意。所以不要效法这个世界的方法，靠自己的能力血气来行事，而是改变思维，默想上帝一切美好的旨意，祂的话语是带给我们盼望，大有能力的。阿门！

John 8:36- “So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free.”
‭‭
The liberation comes from The Lord, never achieved by your own or by anything around in this world. We used to be in the bondage of sin, fear and curses, we used to live like a slave, defeated over all challenges in life, but guess what? Jesus came to liberate us! He came to give us a new life and a life more abundantly!!
So because of Jesus, you've been set free from all condemnation, curses of lack and sickness! You are no longer the old you but the new you! You no longer own a defeated life but a victorious life! How great! Therefore, be reminded today that you're free indeed, no bondages can bind you anymore! :)

希伯来书10：23 - 也要坚守我们所承认的指望，不至摇动，因为那应许我们的是信实的。

人生的旅程就像跑马拉松赛，可能你没有一个好的起跑点，可能你碰到了棘手的问题，又可能在赛程途中，你听见了旁边很多消极的声音，让你越听越沮丧，导致你很想放弃，。。。那么你呢？会选择中途放弃呢？还是坚持下去？

今天，无论在路途上，你遇见了狂风暴雨，遇见了问题，人的闲言闲语，斥资定罪来到；你都要记住，你要坚守的是什么？是你自己的能力？是你的知识？还是你要坚持捉住的，就是这一位与你同行的耶稣基督？当你坚守你所承认的指望，耶稣祂就是你生命的盼望，祂永不动摇，你可以全然的来信靠祂。

当你看见那不可预知的漫漫长路，你可能在叹息无奈，但你要坚持到底的，就是捉住耶稣基督。因为唯有祂，才是你的指望。在你无能为力时，祂就是你的能力；在你彷徨失措时，祂已经为你开了一条又新又活的路（希10：20）。无论如何，当你把祂放在你的面前时，你的心必欢喜，你的灵必快乐，你的肉身也必安然居住（诗篇16：3）。

耶稣所给你的一切应许，都是信实的。意思就是说，当祂定意应许你的时候，祂开始这工，祂也必成全这工（腓1：6）。就因为这样，你才不可以放弃，而是坚守祂所答应你的，和祂一起，靠着祂所加给你的力量，行完上帝在你生命里面预定的所有梦想。你的人生，不是问题来左右，而是时刻与耶稣同行。阿门！

Psalm 18:3- I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies.”
‭‭
Many of times people will ask, whether God listens to their prayers or does God even to care to hear their cries? But do you know that right even before you cry out, right before you ask, He knows everything and He surely cares! He has plan all things for you according to His good purposes, so my friends, no matter what happen around you today, don't panic, God hears you, even the tiniest sighing that you had. He knows your situation, and He is always ever ready to help! Call on to The Lord, for He is mighty to save you from all enemies! So all you need to do is to watch and be at rest and see how The Lord fights the battle for you! :)

Psalm 21:3- “You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.

Remember the story of the prodigal son? He cursed his father by demanding to have his inheritance to be given to him, even when his father is still alive! He went and spent all that he had, and came to a point that he has to survive by feeding himself with the pig's food! Imagine what a normal father may do, he may rejected the son when he comes back, and even if he accepts him back, of course he will withhold all things from him right? You never know when is the next time he asks again for his inheritances! But the bible portrays God the Father as a loving Father, he was looking and expecting His son's return day and night, watching over the horizon, that is your father in Heaven! He is waiting for you day and night, looking over the horizon, guess what? When He sees you, He run to you first even before you realize! Just like the prodigal son's father, He ran to Him with acceptance instead of rejection! Likewise, that is what going to happen to you. Today no matter how many times you fall, know that God your Father always welcome you back with success and prosperity, if the bible portrays Him crowning and giving the son his identity back and giving him all the best things He has, so do you! Why? Simply because He loves you deeply! So, Run back to His embrace today and let Him crown you with the finest and the best!

Psalm 145:15- “The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.”
‭‭
People in this world are trying their very best in achieving and building, let it be building their own lives, their career, their families, but know that as you build them upon Jesus, the source of your life, all things shall made possible! Why? Because only He is the solid foundation that you can ever find, as you stand strong on Him, you will realize that everything will just seem to be effortless. For Jesus is the one who holds all things together for you!
My dear friends, Your Heavenly Father knows your need and the desires of your heart, all you need to do is not to look around for solutions, but to look to Him, your source of hope! Let Him satisfy you with the goodness of His land! If man disappoints you, remember God will not disappoint you! :)

1Cor16:13
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.

Dear friend, you are to be the man of courage.
Today, is not about what you can do to be a man of courage but because of who Jesus Christ is and it is not about who you are but because of what Jesus Christ has done.
All you need to do is to believe in Him and all that He has achieved for you.
Be on your guard by listening what the Lord says to you through His words, for nothing is impossible in Him and when His words sent forth, things accomplished more than what we can imagine of.
Let not listen to what the world says or what the circumstances say, but be attentive to what God says.
By listening to God's words, we will be able to stand firm. The only foundation we can lean on today is Jesus Christ, which is the Word.
No matter how big the mountain is, regardless how tough the situation might be, we can be strong for Christ is living in us!
Sickness, cancer, lacking, broken relationship, or any problem you can name of, cannot bigger than the God we trust-JESUS, for His name is above all names.
When God is for us, know that nothing can be against us!
Hallelujah! In Him, we are not only an overcomer but we are more than conquerors!

‭In this story, the widow woman just lost her son, she was crying over his death;
Imagine for a woman that encountered so much like her, imagine as a mother, that she went through the lost of her husband and now the lost of her child, how hopeless that she could have been! But everything changed when she met Jesus, or rather it was when The Lord saw her. Do you know that before you can take any initiative to seek The Lord for help, He already saw your needs, He saw your desire, He saw the cries of your heart. Never a moment thought that Jesus will only turn to you only when you find Him, and He will keep on being silent as if He will only help when you ask for it. He loves you, and He is love! Love takes initiative, love will do whatever it is as long as you are comforted and being joyful once again! When Jesus saw that woman, His heart overflowed with compassion. Likewise, even if you have not tell Him what's going wrong, He saw you and His heart overflowed with compassion!
So No matter what you're going through now, Jesus understands. When no one seems to care, He cares! When He looks at you, His heart overflows with love and compassion, never judgment, never condemnation. So the moment as you knew the story, the boy was raised from the dead! So Don't cry, for The Lord who gives you hope and future is now with you, He keeps your tears and He wipes them away! Moreover, whatever seems to be dead He can raise them up to life!
