箴言10：12 恨能挑启争端，爱能遮掩一切过错。

其实很多人没有察觉到，当一个人心怀愤怒，他其实是在囚禁自己的生命。当我们无法饶恕，我们不是在傷害別人，不是在伤害那個给我们不公平待遇的公司；其实我們是在伤害自己，把自己捆绑在苦毒的深坑里。
如果你現在想过最好的生活，你要开始学习饶恕，学习放手过去。当然，你无法靠着自己，你要来依靠耶稣，因为惟有当你晓得你是何等的被耶稣所爱，对于那些曾经的伤害你才可以释怀，惟有爱才能遮掩一切的过错。也许在你小時候曾经发生过让你难以忘怀的伤痛；也许有人惡待你，佔你便宜；也許是最亲近的人背叛了你，使到你失去了对人起码该有的信任，这些都是你可以生氣，可以心生苦毒的理由。学习放下过去的伤害，不要积存苦毒在心里，因为它会渐渐啃噬你，毁灭你。
但为了你心灵的健康，你必須让事情過去。恨一個人不会成就什么好事，一直停留在怒氣中对你也沒有什么意義。對於過去的事你已经无能為力，但是對於未來，你可以有所為，你有决定权的。你应该宽恕，然后开始相信上帝会偿还你。

约珥书2：25我打法到你们中间的大军队，就是蝗虫、蝻子、蚂蚱、剪虫，那些年所吞吃的我都要补还你们。

帖撒罗尼迦前书5：21但要凡事察验，善美的要持守。

我們的思想里蘊含着极大的能力。我们心里想什么，就会为生命带來什么果效。如果一直心存負面消极的思想，就会吸引一些消极的人与事，处处碰壁；如果总是心生恐惧，就会引來更多的担心害怕。所以，你的想法决定了你人生的方向，选择权在於你。每一天进到我们脑海里的想法何止千万，所以圣经说“要凡事察验，善美的要持守”。我们要分辨这些想法与意念是否從神而來，还是自己的主意，还是從仇敵而來的破坏性思想。
要如何分辨呢？如果是一個消极负面的想法，就是從仇敵而來，它使我们对人生，对未来失去盼望；如果是一个沒有建設性，具破壞力的思想，它就會帶來恐惧、担忧、怀疑或不信；如果這個意念让你觉得很定罪、挫败、没有平安，這意念絕非來自上帝，你需要立即远离它。
从神而来的，必然是造就我们，建立我们，激励我们，给我们盼望的一切。箴言4：23说“你要保守你心，胜过保守一切，因为一生的果效是由心发出”。所以要如保守我们的心，是取决于我们自己，当我们心的方向对了，人生的方向也对了!啊们！

Know that even if you can't see your future and you do not know what is ahead, you only need to recognize who is the one who holds your future! Remember that because Jesus has lived, and now seated at the right hand of the Father, therefore you can face tomorrow and you can wake up in hope! So do not be afraid or discouraged, even when things try to pull you down, know that the Lord is with you and He is the source of all things in your life! So my friends, Never be worried about your future, always know that Jesus is walking ahead of you! He is personally ensuring and planning that it is good, your family will be good, your career will be good, your health will be good, so trust Him, He will never fail you!

Don't you know that you are more precious than any sparrows in the world? Look at the lilies of the field, the Lord clothes them with the most beautiful outfit, taking care of them all; look at the birds in the air, they do not worry about where to find food, they do not worry on how is the economy of this world, how much more you who are more valuable than them? My friends, if you are worry and trouble about many things, if you are worrying about tomorrow, about the debts that you could not pay, about the future that you can't see, meditate this today, if your Father in Heaven can give you the best of Heaven - Jesus; what else that He cannot give? What else is too difficult for Him? If He can feed the birds and clothes the lilies, guess what? You who are more valuable will also be well supplied and clothe on! Your future will surely be good and your hope will never ever be cut off! Find your confident and assurance in Him today, He is a wonderful Father, He is a giver, not a taker!

During the Passover, the Israelites were partaking the lamb in their house while the spirit of death could not do any harm on them but to pass over. Know that during that time, being enslaved under the power of Egyptians, they do not have any wealth, and possibly most of them were sick as the result of long suffering under the hand of Egyptians! However, they came out with silver and gold, and none of them were sick. What's the secret behind this tremendous change over a night? The blood and the lamb. Likewise today, we are no longer enjoying the shadow representing Jesus' blood and body, but He has died for us in person, gave himself up for us all, and guess what? We now have the true substance of Jesus! So how much more that we are able to enjoy health and wealth because of His once and for all sacrifice? My friends, Health and wholeness is the inheritance of the children of God. Therefore, know that by Jesus' sacrifice, you're as healthy as Jesus, with long life you're satisfied, and from head to toe, from inside to outside, all your cells, organs, parts are strong!

Many of times when we come to Jesus, we thought of we are the one serving Him, we are the one who give; but do you know that He come to serve you and not to be served? Serving you simply means He wants to take what is in His plate and put it in your plate! If it is healing that you need, He wants to take His health and put it in your plate; if it is supply that you need, He wants to take His abundance and put it in your plate; if it is a breakthrough that you need, He wants to take that miracle and put it in your plate! Today, rest at Jesus' feet and know that He loves you deeply, He cares what you care, and He knows exactly what you're going through. Let Him serves you with what He has today, be still and know He is God! Since He has became your ransom, being the Redeemer of yours, know that you belong to Him and He belongs to you, and all that you need shall be found in Christ!

What you've deposited in will eventually be what you'll withdraw out; so what do you keep in your heart lately and thought of it often? Many of times we tend to think of the problems, magnifying in our mind, pondering of the possibilities to get worst in our thoughts! Guess what? Since you have already more than a conqueror, then all that you need is to adjust the battlefield of your mind! Think what the Word says, have the mind of Christ! If you want to see changes and transformation in your life, all that you need is to have renewal of your mind, guard your heart with the Word more than anything else! So my friends, Align your mind to think of the Lord's goodness, keep on thinking "Jesus loves me", and it shall release salvation in all areas of your life!

Philippians 2:5
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

Dear friend, regardless what situation you are in right now, remember your identity in Christ Jesus, you are a victor and not a victim, you are no longer fighting for victory but you are fighting from victory because Jesus has conquered It all and made you more than conquerors!
In time of trouble, remember that we have the mind of Christ, therefore our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Instead of boasting about how big the trouble is, we are to boast that our God is the greatest and nothing is too hard for Him to accomplish!
When you are sick, remember that we have the mind of Christ, therefore our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Instead of compromise to the sickness, we are to proclaim and experience the healing through Jesus' stripes!
When you are lacking, remember that we have the mind of Christ, therefore our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Instead of focusing on the lack that bothers you, we are to grateful that God supplies all our needs according to His glorious riches!
When things you have planned aren't work out as what you expect, remember that we have the mind of Christ, therefore our attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Instead of complaining and give up, we are to commit to the Lord whatever we do and fully trusted in Him!

Nothing is impossible in God. So, carry the mind of Christ in our daily life, holding the same attitude Jesus has, for as He is, so are we in this world.
When 5000 men are hungry, Jesus did not see the lack that appear, but He give thanks to the Father for what He has and from there 12 baskets of leftover been multiplied.
When Jesus sees the sick, He did not boast about the sicknesses, but instead, He healed the sick.
So, today, let's hold on to the power that we have and walk our journey with the abundant blessings Jesus has done for us at the cross 2016 years ago.
Keep on meditating the love of God through the Word of Christ and we shall surely experience the overflowing blessings from God.
Amen!

There may be a lot of times that you are faithless, but always remember that God remains faithful! He is a keeper of His Words and He is watchful in accomplishing them! God is faithful in accomplishing what He has promised you in your life; therefore know that as you are in partnership with Jesus, it simply means you enjoy all that He has! This partnership can never be determined by your performance, but this partnership is established because of God's faithfulness and because of Jesus' finished work! Hence, the world's partnership can be separated, but your partnership with Jesus can never be separated! It is firm and established for eternity! So my friends, in this partnership, as He is healthy, so are you in this world! As He has abundance of supply, so are you in this world! As He is full of glory, so are you in this world!
