Mark 5:36- Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him "Don't be afraid, just believe."

Faith drains and causes you to stagnant but faith in Jesus empowers you and leads you moving on!
Always remember that the Word of God has promised you that He will never leave you nor forsake you,
He said He will not fail you, He will not give you up and He will not leave you without support!
How great it is to find support in Him instead of men, how wonderful to know that when men can fail you
and give up on you, but it will never happen on Jesus! That's how much He loves and concerns!
Therefore, have faith in Jesus that He has your best interest in heart, He will surely do whatever that He has
promised, and all you need to do is to follow your Great Shepherd and in the presence of your enemies,
He shall prepare a six course dinner for you! (Psalms 23:5)

Mat 17:20 He replied," Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as the mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

Dear friend, have you ever seen a mustard seed before? In fact it is consider as small among many seeds, yet when it grows, it is bigger than many trees.
So when Jesus describes our faith as a mustard seed, it means that though our faith seem to be small yet it is so powerful and it can becomes a big tree when we sow it on the good soil!
Today where is the source of our faith? Is from the Words of God. Because faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.（Rom10:17）
Therefore, let our heart be a good soil, believe and receive the promises of God, able to sow the words of God in our life so that the mustard seed of faith in our life can grow well.
No matter how strong the storms might be, let Jesus take the control.
Though sometimes we might not know how to move on, but we are to take heart and just follow the good shepherd-Jesus, for He will surely leads us to the green pasture and the stream of living water.
Regardless how big the mountain could be in fornt of us, believe Jesus by faith and command the mountain to move away!
Always remember that in Jesus, nothing is too hard!
Do not fear, just believe!

诗篇20：7 有人靠车，有人靠马，但我们要提到耶和华我们神的名。

圣经中，当扫罗及以色列军队面对巨人歌利亞的骂阵时，他们觉得这巨人就是这么强大，他们是沒有办法可以打败他的。就在这时一名年轻的男子大卫，只有17岁，卻是胆大无惧。面对歌利亞，大家都说巨人很强大，根本没有机会赢，大卫却说：「这未受割礼的非利士人，他是谁呢？竟敢藐視神的军队」？ 虽然眼前所见，大卫肯是输定的，但他却相信他的神必使他得胜。纵然周围的人都轻看他，认为他瘋了，他是不可能打倒歌利亞的，他只不过是个弱小子，根本没有任何作战经验。
但大卫不把歌利亞放在眼里，而是將眼光定睛在神身上。大卫不惧怕，因为他知道他的上帝有多大！他沒有向歌利亞低头，沒有！因为他知道他已经得胜利了！他是靠着耶和华神的名得胜。啊们！

如果你想打破旧習惯，改变你的生活，首先你要先战胜你心里的巨人。不管你面對的是什么，或是现在一无所有，看不见未来，你都要開始转移眼光，改变想法，并宣告勝利。不要告訴世界你的問題有多大， 告訴他们你的神有多大！宣告得胜，带着自由和祝福向前迈进吧！上帝的祝福正在等着你！
马可福音 11:23 我实在告訴你們，無論何人對這座山說：『你挪開此地，投在海裏！』他若心裏不疑惑，只信他所說的必成，就必給他成了。

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

God's word is the source of wisdom today, if you need wisdom in your finance, in handling your
family, in your career, Jesus himself has became our wisdom!
Therefore, we are to be conscious and aware of it, thus trust that He is able to
lead us towards green pastures and direct our lives to the right direction!
My friend, Jesus is the wise man and so does His Word. Today choose to
listen to the Word of God and live your life in accordance to it! Stop listening to
the song of fools for it cannot give you life, the songs of fools only insert fear,
anxiety and lies to you, for only the Word of God is life and is spirit, giving you rest and peace!

犹大书1：24那能保守你们不失脚，叫你们无瑕无疵，欢欢喜喜站在祂荣耀之前的，我们的救主独一的神。

上帝给了你生命气息，所以你要爱惜生命，不要失控。当你吃不该吃的东西，讲消极的话，做不叫生命得着益处的事，控制不住情绪；这都是一种失控。它会带给自己，或是身边的人无法抹灭的伤害。但，减少失控，就能减低伤害的程度。
如同开车一样，要一直维持在车线道上，若偏离了，就会有危险。当你分心，就会偏左或偏右，你要随时调整，回到轨道上。我们的人生也是如此，有时会远离真理，没有以神为中心，这时刻，我们就要随时做调整，思念十字架的完工，思念耶和华的慈爱，而不是一直觉得我们的情况有多凄惨，困境有多难。今天要晓得，我们的人生是走在神旨意里，当你敬畏耶和华，耶和华必指示你当选择的道路（诗篇25：12）。
彼得后书1：10“所以弟兄们，应当更加殷勤，使你们所蒙的恩召和拣选坚定不移。你们若行这几样，就永不失脚。
要殷勤努力，坚固信心，稳定脚步，向着标杆直跑。握住你的人生，如同握住方向盘一样，你的生命在神手中，不是被世界的命运掌控。

Psalm 121:7- The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;

Dear friends, remember that The Lord is with you, He will never leave you without
support or fail you! He has promised to keep you from all harm, and all you need to do
is to trust Him. Trusting Him simply means you do not fix your eyes on what is seen
anymore, but you fix your eyes on what is unseen. Trust Him that He will deliver you, and
He protects those whom He loves! He is your refuge and strength, He is your Helper, He will
keep you from all harms and evils. He watches over you, therefore know that you're in a good
hand, The Lord shall bless you no matter you're coming in or going out!

以赛亚书37：31犹大家所逃脱剩余的，仍要往下扎根，向上结果。

上帝给了我们选择的自由（申命记30：19）。一个人要堕落，无人能阻止；一个人要成长，挡都挡不住。一个往下掉的人，是重力加速度，你想要拉他，会非常的吃力，甚至你也会被他拉下坠。相对的，若你开始成长，也无人能阻挡你，或是压制你。
当你启动车子的那一刻，是最吃力也最耗油，但一旦启动了，车子就会越来越省油，车速也会越来越顺畅及快速。
当你立定目标要成长，要杰出，要优秀，要活出美好，刚开始也是最吃力，最幸苦的。但你一旦启动脚步，你的步伐就会越来越轻盈，成长的速度也会越来越快。甚至到一个阶段，你只要踩一点油，就像飞一样，挡都挡不住。
哈巴谷书3：19主耶和华是我的力量，祂使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我稳行在高处。上帝就是你的力量，让你义无反顾的朝着标杆直跑。
你起步了吗？你越快启动你的脚步，就会越快享受成长的喜乐。当你的生命是往下扎根，就必定是向上结果子的。啊们！
约伯记22：28也说“你定意要做何事，必然给你成就；亮光也必照耀你的路”。

Job 36:11- If they obey and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

Many Christians were still in the mindset of God doesn't want them to live life in prosperity but in poverty.
They thought that poverty is a lesson from God, to teach them on how to handle money. However, do know that
your Father's heart is always to bless you and love you. That's why Jesus came and become poor, so that those
who believe in Him shall become rich! If it is not the heart of God to bless you with abundance and good things,
why would he promise the children of God that Jesus has finished and accomplished this blessed us with good things
that are far more than what we can imagine and think of!
However, if you want to enjoy prosperity and seeing pleasures, you cannot divert away from obeying and following
Jesus, He is the great shepherd, we are His sheeps. So instead of walking ahead of Jesus, we are to follow Him, for
only He knows which place has the nicest grass, which place has that opportunity that you long for, which place has the
right person to help you! So, today choose to yield to the Words instead of your feeling, and you shall see you spend your
days in prosperity and years in pleasure!!!

John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one.

Dear friend, do you know how important unity is?
If there is no unity in a family, then quarrel will happen which causes the family in losing the love, peace and joy;
If there is no unity in a school, then division and argument will happen in the school which makes the school become not comfortable and not harmony;
If there is no unity in a working place, then it will leads to pressure and staffs will compete with each others which causes the company cannot achieve another level;
If there is no unity in a church, then the church will split and becomes stagnant as well as not able to grow;
If there is no unity in between of friendship, then when there is problem occurs, it will easily affect the friendship and even lead to quarrel;
If there is no unity in between of couple, then it will lead to argument and doubts;
If there is no unity between God and man, then we can hardly trust in the God whom we cannot see, what's more walk together with Him.
Above all these, we could not unite based on our own love and patience as we all have different background and different perception over everything.
Therefore, we really need the love of God, through His words and by the help of Holy Spirit, only then we would able to be united in His glory, because only in His glory, we can focus on God's love and forgiveness instead of man's weaknesses.
By then, we can accept each other, love one another and stay in unity!
