Daily Devotion 每日灵修

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

Today know that what you think determines your living. A right believing will only lead to a right living, likewise a wrong believing will lead you to a wrong living. In order to believe right, it is so important for a child of God to constantly renew his mind with the Word of God. Thus, renewing of mind is not a one off issue, but instead, as long as we are living in this world, we will need to keep our thought life in line with what the Word of God says. Therefore, every time when the defeated thoughts come, set your heart on things that Christ has done for you. You have to purposely keep set your heart on the things of God, read the Word, think about the Word, talk about it and even sing praises for Him. As you set your heart on things above, where Christ is, where He is seated at the right hand of the Father, you are reminding yourself of the sure victory that Christ has won for you! You are reminded and set your heart and thought on the victory, the truth and the finished work of Jesus Christ! Not only that, you are being reminded and thinking in line with what the Word of God says, which is you have been raised with Christ, you are already at the position of victory! You are already a victor and not a victim! The enemies are already your footstool! Therefore, as Christ is, so are you in this world! Start to keep your thought and heart on things of God, and you shall see the manifestation which is far more than what you can imagine and think of! You are what you believe, you are what you think, as a man think in his heart, so is he!

馬太福音19：26 耶稣看着他们说：“在人这是不能的，在神凡事都能”。
馬可福音9：23耶稣对他说：你若能信，在信的人，凡事都能。

在生活中，你可能會碰到一些挫折，但不要相信那些謊言說：【事情就是這樣了，不會改變的，你永遠看不到突破。。。】不，你要天天提醒自己說：【這只是暫時的，事情不會永 遠都這樣的，因為經上記着說：在人所不能的，在神凡事都能，只要我信靠交託，事情必有轉機，因為耶穌來是要讓我得着豐盛的生命，祂不要看到我的生命是掙扎求存，得過且過而已。

也許你已經被拒絕了十幾次，但好消息是，它是會改變的；也許你的婚姻狀況岌岌可危，但好消極是，它是會改善的；也許你的銀行戶口還是負數，但好消息是，它一定會變成正數的。神仍然坐在寶座上，而你是屬於祂，是祂的孩子，你的生命必然充滿生氣的。
也許你此刻面臨一些狀況，而且週而復始的一再遇到，似乎感覺人生只能這樣了。但今天神要向跟你說：「在人不能，在神凡事都能。我要把機會給你，讓你遇見對的人，我要醫治你，在各個方面幫助你。」。所以你要不住禱告交託，堅定的站立，相信在神凡事都能，你必看見祝福的彰顯！

Psalm 13:6 - I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.

People will normally reacted by saying " it is really hard to sing praise in the midst of a tough situation." Thus, usually people will only respond when the situation is good. No matter what is going on today, be it problems or a great mountain before you, start to magnify God instead of your problems. You can choose to sob over your worries, or you can choose to let go and let God. You can choose to complain and stay the same, or you can choose to move on and make a change. Magnifying your problems will not make you a successful person, or making you a victor. Magnifying your problems will only limit you from receiving what you already have in Christ! Therefore, start to magnify God by singing to the Lord praises, lifting up His name and meditate on His love for you. The moment when you look to Him, everything cease in comparison, and everything faded when Jesus is before you! Know that He is always faithful, He has been good to you!!

Psalms 13:6 I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me.

Dear friend, do you know how blessed you are?
Jesus loves you until an extent He is willing to sacrifice all that He has just for you!
2014 years ago, He willing to take up the cross and died on the cross just because He loves you and want to redeem you from the curses;
Jesus is willing to bear all your sins and remember your sin no more;
He has been striped so that you can be healed;
He became poor so that in Him you may become rich;
He been cursed so that you are now been blessed;
Jesus died young so that you can be satisfied with long life;
He became sin so that you become the righteousness of God;
He has been look down by the world so that you can now be lifted up;
He bore the wrath of holy God towards sin so that now we can have right standing with God and can come boldly to the throne of grace;
Not only that, Jesus is all that we want and all that we need!
He provides all that we need in life according to His glorious riches;
He restores all that has been stolen;
He gives us peace in all circumstances;
He gives us joy in handling all the challenges we have in life;
He makes impossibles become possibles!

So friend, it's time to give thanks. Let's sing to the Lord for He has been good to us!

馬太福音12：33你们或以为树好，果子也好；树坏，果子也坏。因为看果子就可以知道树。（新譯本）
馬太福音3：10现在斧子已經放在樹根上，凡不结好果子的樹，就砍下来，丢在火裡。

什麼樣的樹，就會結出什麼樣的果子，如果你種的是蘋果樹，它所結出來的不會是芒果。在一個果園裡，不好的樹，如果不連根拔起，就會剝奪了其餘好樹所需要的養份，甚至帶來害蟲，最後連累好樹也結不出果子來。

我們的生命也一樣。如果一直讓不好的習慣糾纏着，甚至被控制，就很難看見生命的豐收。上帝已經把一切屬靈的福份都賜給我們了（以弗所1：3），但問題是，我們自己掉入了世界的誘惑，攔阻我們得着。比如說上帝要祝福你好的職位，但你卻處事懶散，不思進取，試問，你又如何能在職場上被提升呢？耶穌已經跟你說因着祂受的鞭傷，你已經得了醫治，但從你口裡所說出來的都是消極不造就的話，試問又怎麼能看見醫治彰顯呢？聖經說：因为有的， 还要给他； 没有的，连他所有的也要夺去（馬可福音4：25）。連最基本的“相信”，都無法持守，其餘的還有什麼可說的呢？你又可以埋怨誰呢？
就在這一刻，拿起信心跟勇氣的斧頭，靠着那加給你力量的耶穌（腓立比書4：13），砍斷那些不該存在於你生命中的懷東西吧，不要讓它們把你的人生偷蝕了。天父的心意乃是要你蒙福。

加拉太書2：5我们就是一刻的工夫 ，也没有容让顺服他们，为要叫福音的真理仍存在你们中间。

Psalm 118:11 - They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down.

Do you know that you are now partnering with Jesus under the new covenant? Both of you and Jesus will need to sign on the cheque book in order to make it valid, likewise, Jesus has signed and He has done it all at the cross. The moment when you believe, you are signing and claiming whatever that Jesus has done it all for you! All the promises of God are yes and amen, but without faith, it is impossible, as faith is the hand that takes, faith is the password! Regardless how worst it is right now, maybe you have been hard pressed on every side, but remember you have the name of Jesus! If you are facing lack now, remember that you have the name of Jesus; if you are in sickness now, remember that you have the name of Jesus! Only His name is higher and above every other names, so the moment when you lift up His name, all sickness, all problems, all fear, all depression shall bow to His name, in the name of the Lord you shall cut them down! The name of Jesus is your right, therefore start to use your right today!

羅馬書4：25 耶稣被交给人，是为我们的过犯；复活，是为叫我们称义。

使徒保羅曾經痛恨耶穌並迫害基督的跟隨者（使徒行傳22：4-5；哥林多前書15：9），但是當保羅與基督相遇並與祂在靈裡相交後（使徒行傳9：1-20），保羅整個人都改變了。透過耶穌在十架所成就的救恩，他重新檢視了自己的生命。認識基督讓保羅成了新造的人，過去那些日子所行的罪惡、迫害人的行為都已經被釘死在十架上了，他有了一個新的開始、新的約定、新的觀點和新的生活方式。

今天很多人活着，也被貼上了一個“貨物損壞”的標籤，確實我們都不完美，甚至常常犯錯，但耶穌在我們還是罪人的時候就為我們死了（羅馬5：8），上帝使那无罪的，替我们成为罪，好叫我们在祂里面成为祂的义（哥林多後書5：21）。祂來不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命作多人的赎价（馬可福音10：45）。我們都曾經被傷害、有不好的經歷，甚至犯了很大的錯誤，但關鍵是要確定自己在基督裡的身份，就是新造的人，都是義人（羅馬書5:1），而義人的道路必定是越來越好的(箴言4：18)。

無論你經歷什麼，面對多少挫折與磨難，或者覺得自己渺小，甚至微不足道，但因為有耶穌，你不會一蹶不振，因為當你是義人，就算跌倒了，仍然可以興起發光（箴言24:16）。啊們！

Jeremiah 33:6 - Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

You are the joint heir with Jesus Christ, and a joint heir means you are partnering with Jesus. Your concern has become His concern, and likewise His health is your health, His inheritance is your inheritance, His abundance is your abundance. Remember that being as a joint heir, you have right and authority, but being as the partner, you have your part to play, which is to believe in His finished work. Believe that all that He has has now become yours, believe that by His stripes you have been healed, believe that the Lord is your shepherd and you shall never be in want. Therefore, as you know health and healing is your right, hold on to it and never let the devil deceives you from not believing in it. Instead of thinking that you are not healed, start to trust in Jesus that He has made healing and health a done deal in your life! His heart is to see you healthy and strong, enjoying life and long life! Hence, believe that you are already healed, and enjoy the abundance of peace and security in Christ! Good health is for sure, believe it, receive it and give thanks! The Word of God said it, believe it, and it settles it! :)

箴言24：10 你在患難之日若膽怯，你的力量就微小。

有一个人，他在冷藏部门工作，一天意外被鎖在冷藏库里，一時求救無門。當他意識到被困在里面时，他開始尖叫，開始敲擊門，直到他的拳頭流血，筋疲力倦为止。他心裡很明白如果一直被困住，体温会越來越低， 最后死去，他心里非常害怕，一直在哭泣， 就這樣一直哭喊到幾乎失聲，漸漸就失去了知覺。

第二天他被发现在角落裡蜷縮着，已经凍死了。但令人驚訝的是，事實上冷藏倉庫裡的溫度並不冷。之所以死去，是因為他一直活在他的思想裡，他一直認為他待的是一個溫度非常低的冷藏庫，於是他懼怕的事就臨到他身上。所以事實上，他是“怕到死去的”。

恐懼往往使我們把問題放大。惡者常常來控告我們：你永遠不會成功，你永遠不會好起來、你永遠不會結婚，你永遠不能重新來過。。。這一切都是謊言，上帝說：“別擔心”，因為你在我的手掌心上，也許偶爾你會感到無助和孤獨，感覺不到上帝的同在；但祂說，“如果你信靠我，我會把你帶到高位人的面前，我會保護你，安慰你，賜你力量與勇氣。我不僅給你帶來盼望，且超過你所求所想。”啊們！

“耶和華是我的亮光，是我的拯救， 我還怕誰呢？ 耶和華是我性命的保障( 或譯：力量)， 我還懼誰呢？ ” （詩篇27：1）
