Hebrews 11:6- “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.”
‭‭
Faith is not of yourself or on yourself, but rather faith comes only when you hear the words of Christ. Each day, Jesus is speaking to you through His Word, giving you firm assurance on how much He loves you and how much He has blessed you with.
Therefore when all the more you look at the loveliness and greatness of Jesus, all the more you'll rise up in faith.
For He is the author and perfector of our faith, not us!
Faith in Jesus is a magnet that draws all good things. Faith in Jesus simply means believe that He is a rewarder who will bless good
things to those who seek Him! When you believe that He exists and He comes to reward and not to take, it pleases Him! So, never worry
whether you please God or not, but when you believe that He exists and He is a rewarder to those who seek Him, that pleases Him!
So Today, believe in His finished work and His love, for He is the God who rewards you with blessings!

罗马书5:8【惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了】。

有一个人，在我们还是罪人的时候，就已经为我们死了（罗马书 5：8）；有一个人，根本没有罪，却为了我们被鞭、被打、被羞辱、被逼迫。。。你真相信吗？实在有这么一个人，有如此的大爱，成了代罪羔羊，赎回了我们；当祂爱我们，是以永远不变的爱爱我们到底（耶利米书31:3，约翰福音13：1）！

这份爱，你领受了吗？
耶稣道成了肉身，为要体恤我们的软弱（希伯来书4：15）；
祂被挂在木头上，亲身担当了我们的罪，使我们既然在罪上死，就得以在义活，好叫我们都被称为义（彼得前书2:24）；
祂受了鞭伤，为要叫我们得医治（彼得前书2:24，以赛亚书53：5）；
祂救了我们脱离黑暗的权势，带领我们到祂光明的国度里（歌罗西书1:13）
祂为我们死了，复活，好叫我们的生命是出死入生的（约翰福音5：24）；

此刻，你对祂的爱与付出仍然无动于衷吗？还是觉得这一切都与你无份。回应祂的爱并不关乎我们能为祂做些什么，而是关乎我们能领受祂为我们所成就的多少；回应祂的爱并不关乎我们能否为祂受苦，而是关乎我们是否相信祂受的苦所给我们带来那活泼的盼望；回应祂的爱，就是单单的相信祂，依靠祂，行在真理中!

诗篇91：14 神说：”因为祂专心爱我， 我就要搭救他；因为他知道我的名，我要把他安置在高处。“
当我们专心爱祂，就是信靠祂，让祂在我们心中居首位时，无论处在怎样的环境中，祂是我们的拯救，是我们随时的帮助；在问题、病痛、忧郁，困苦中，祂都要来搭救我们；祂总不撇下我们， 也未曾丢弃我们（希伯来书13：5）。当我们认定祂，祂必指引我们前面的道路（箴言3：5-6）；祂必引我们到高位人的面前（箴言18：16），使我们的生命兴起，发光（以赛亚60:1）！今天就领受这份爱吧！

John 8:35- “Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.”
‭‭
A slave has no share in what the master has, and thus has no permanent place in the house. When we
used to be separated from Christ, when we used to have no God, we were separated from all that the
Father has. Why? We were slaves of sin, we've no part and share with what God has. But Good News!
Jesus came and reconciled us to the Father, He has made a perfect sacrifice, He brought us back as sharer
in His kingdom!
Now, God calls you as son, He is your wonderful Father! Therefore, you're no longer a slave that has no share in
what He has; you're a son, you've share in what He has- abundance, health, wisdom and all that belongs to Him
belongs to you! So it's time to enjoy whatever that He has prepared for you in the house!

箴言18：10 - 耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳。

尽管现今世界的局势告诉我们全球无论是经济，环境，安全，都处在各样的危机，但我们身为神的儿女应当一无挂虑，只要凡是藉着祷告、祈求、和感谢，将所要的告诉神，祂神所赐出人意外的平安，必在耶稣基督里，保守我们们的心怀意念（腓立比书4：6-7）。

当我们的心怀意念被基督的平安保守时，就不会再被忧虑、惧怕、沮丧、绝望、伤心所包围，因着父神的怜悯，藉着耶稣基督从死里复活，重生了我们，叫我们有那活泼的盼望（彼得前书1：3）。当我们信靠神，就不至于羞愧（罗马书10：1）。所以，当世界的经济衰退时，我们在神国度里的经济却是丰盛且富足的，因耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳；而我们都是义人（箴言4:18）。我们虽然还处在这世界，却不属于这世界，我们是属神的。

我们知道，我们是属神的，全世界都卧在那恶者手下。（约翰一书5：19）

我们的家庭关系，婚姻，事业及学业，健康等，在各个放面，却是越来越好，越来越亲近，因耶和华的名是坚固台，义人奔入，便得安稳；周遭的状况再糟糕都好，我们身为神儿女的却是被守护在祂翅膀荫下，虽有千人万人仆倒，灾害却不能临到我们。
因此，投靠耶稣基督的人是有福的！快来尝尝主恩的滋味，便知道祂的美善（诗篇34：8）。无论环境如何，神是我们的避难所，是我们的力量，是我们患难中随时的帮助（诗篇46：1）！阿门！

Hebrews 12:3- “Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
‭‭
Consider means to bring into remembrance and meditate it until you get something out of it.
It is a change of focus, from one to another. If you're worry and tired today, if you've no strength
to move on anymore, check what you've been considering all these while. You might be considered
sickness in your body, the lack that is too great before you or the issues that seem so hard to be overcome.
But today, start to Consider Jesus, think about Him, fix your attention on Him; look at what He has done for you
instead of what you've been limited to. Therefore, when you look at Him instead of your difficulties, you'll not lose
heart for He is the source of your hope and your strength!

Psalms 118:13
I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me.

Dear friend, no matter what mountain is in front of you right now, regardless how big the giant you are facing, be assured that though you were pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped you!
Sickness is pushing you back and you are about to fall? Do not give up nor dismay, beloved, for the Lord has helped you. By Jesus' stripes, you are completely healed!
Lacking is pushing you back and you are about to fall? Do not give up nor dismay, beloved, for the Lord has helped you. God supplies all your needs according to His glorious riches.
Broken relationship is pushing you back and you are about to fall? Do not give up nor dismay, beloved, for the Lord has helped you. Restoration happens when you are abiding in the glory of God.
Failure in career is pushing you back and you are about to fall? Do not give up nor dismay, beloved, for the Lord has helped you. The gift from God leads you to high position and give you divine success.

Though the surroundings and circumstances might pull you down and push you back, stop looking at those situations but start to eye on Jesus and His finished work at the cross 2015 years ago.
He said "It's finished!". Therefore, He has put an end to your problems and has started the new and living way in your life.
He is your refuge and strength, in Him you found your ever present help.
Trust in Him and you will never be put to shame!

哥林多后书3:18【我们众人既然敞着脸得以看见主的荣光，就好像从镜子里返照，就变成主的形状，荣上加荣，如同从主的灵变成的】。

当你看向镜子的时候，你看见什么？当然，你看见你自己。但是，神不要你一直看属自然界的你，祂要你看超自然的你。也许你很软弱，生病了，伤痕累累，压抑等，但神依然要你以祂的眼光看待你自己 - 你是健康，刚强壮胆，完全的，因为基督就在你里面。

歌罗西书1：27【神愿意叫他们知道，这奥秘在外邦人中有何等丰盛的荣耀，就是基督在你们心里成了有荣耀的盼望】。

神要你守住祂儿子的荣光。当你如此行，神的话说你的生命就好像从镜子里返照，荣上加荣，越来越棒！生命是反败为胜了！世界会跟你说，“啊呀，没有那么简单的啦！一定要做些什么的，我必然要附上些许代价，天下那有白吃的午餐。。。”
但神的意念高过我们的意念，祂的道路高过我们的道路，我们无法依据我们的思维来预测神的意念。撒迦利亚书4:6说【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】。我们只单单的信靠仰望祂。
朋友，守住神儿子的荣光不如你想像中的那么艰难，神不会刁难你，是祂造你的，所以祂不会叫你做你无法做到的事。所以停止自己无谓的挣扎，把眼目转向祂吧！

Psalm 68:20- “Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.”
‭
My dear friend, if you're facing with challenges today, there's a good news for you! This wonderful news is
that our God is a God who saves! How great that He is not a God who punish and reject you! Jesus has
rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and therefore in Christ, we are now totally disconnected with whatever
that is not of God, but we are connected with what is of God! Is healing from God? Yes! Then you're connected with
healing. Is abundance connected with God? Yes! So you too are connected with abundance! By faith in His faith,
allow all these to manifest in your life from now on. He's a God who helps and saves, so what are you afraid of?
Have confident expectation of Good today, knowing good things shall hunt you down! You've escaped from death because
of one sacrifice of Jesus, so now on the other hand, you cannot escape from blessings, healing and provision because
you're no longer under the dominion of death; but under Christ you've unending supply!!

哥林多前书2：12【我们所领受的，并不是世上的灵，乃是从神来的，叫我们能知道神开恩赐给我们的事】。

身为至高神的儿子。上帝要你知道你是白白的领受一切上好的福份，你是坦然领受的。耶稣基督付了代价，藉着自己的身子被钉，好让你无须再做些什么了。这就是祂对你的爱。
也许在你会问，“为什么我还没有看见呢？我还没有得着呢？又，为何我所得的是如此少呢？我很虔诚的来教会啊，我也祷告，读经啊，是不是因为我还不够勤劳呢？我做的还不够吗？我要怎样做呢？好让神可以再爱我多一些呢？
亲爱的，罗马书5:8跟你说“惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死，神的爱就在此向我们显明了”。这就是神爱你的心意。
神要跟你说：“我的孩子，你还缺少什么呢？健康？平安喜乐？富足能力？聪明智慧？都来拿吧！这些都是属于你的了，耶稣已经为你付了赎价。每当你来到祂面前，带着坦然无惧的心，不要担忧也不要胆怯，因为祂是怜悯的神，祂以永远的爱来爱你，以慈爱来吸引你（耶利米书31:3）。
如果你是想靠着自己的努力来得着，很遗憾的，你永远都无法做到，因为你永远不能在基督的完工上再加添一些什么，一切都已经成了（约翰福音19:30）。如果是靠着自己的能力，那就不是恩典了，基督十架的完工就徒然了。
朋友，那些自己挣扎苦战的日子已经结束了。今天，你可以尽情的领取你所要的。当你如此行，神的心是喜悦的！
