信实不变的爱

Wednesday, February 17, 2016

哥林多前书1：30『【但你们得在基督耶稣里是本乎神，神又使祂成为我们的智慧、公义、圣洁、救赎』】。

上帝祂晓得我們的骄傲、憤怒、忌恨、贪婪软弱等，但祂却是看重我們在基督里的身份。离了基督，我们一无是处，没有价值。但是当我们在基督里，我们是义人，上帝藉着独生爱子的死，恢復我們與祂的关系（罗马书5： 9-10），那无罪的耶稣基督，代替我们成为罪人，钉在十字架上，救赎我们脱离罪的枷锁，使我们成为义人（哥林多后书5：21）。
在旧约圣经的何西阿书，讲论上帝对祂不忠的百姓信实且不变的爱。可能你会纳闷，耶和华为什么要何西阿去娶一位不贞的女人，而带给何西阿極大的痛苦呢？（何西阿书1：2-3）。后來，她真的就為別的男人抛弃了何西阿，上帝卻要何西阿再娶她回來。这就預表了「以色列人，虽然偏向別神。。。，耶和华还是是爱他们。」（何西阿书3：1）
如同今时今日的我们，本不配被饶恕，上帝却以祂独生爱子替换了我们，给了我们全新且公义的生命。这就是天父无与伦比的大爱，无论我们犯了滔天大罪，祂仍然以仁爱和慈悲包容我们，且爱我们不会改变。祂是那为从昨日、今日，一直到永远都爱我们的神（希伯来书13：8）。
慈爱的天父，我感谢祢，當我失足跌倒，祢依然对我不离不弃；而当我回转向祢，祢依然把我拥在怀里，以恩惠慈爱待我。阿门！

Revolves Around Him

Tuesday, February 16, 2016

Colossians 1:17- “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
‭‭
If you are encircling man, relationship, marriage, parenting, your career and all things in your life by your own, you will realize that you can't take care of all those better than God taking care of them for you! You will end up exhausted, lost, depressed, disappointed, why? Because you are trying to work things out on your own, and revolves your world around so many things at one time. Therefore it's time for you to let Jesus do His part! Let your world revolves around only one man - Jesus, for He loves you unconditionally and you are forever in His heart! Things may be in broken pieces now, but in Christ, He holds all things together, just for You! He holds your marriage, your children, your career, your relationship, your future, far more better than you can handle yourself! Just remember, forever in His heart, you can never fall away!

In Him There's Hope

Monday, February 15, 2016

Psalm 39:7- ““But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.”
‭‭
Yes, weeping may last for a night for God's grace is new again every morning. Yes, disappointment may seems to be overwhelming but God promised you reappointment. And yes, fear may looks great right now, but in Christ, fear is demolished by love. Therefore, waking up today no matter what is ahead of you, no matter what is going to be the great challenge that you thought, know that a Father who loves you is always by your side, sustaining and guiding you towards his better plan and purpose. He loves you too much to see you fall! My friend, Disappointment will not last when a Father in Heaven who loves you deeply knows exactly what you need, and He is a Father that will not fail you. Therefore, choose to Have a confident expectation of good, knowing that as you hope in Him, He will never ever disappoint you!

遵行神的道

Monday, February 15, 2016

诗 128：1 - 凡敬畏耶和华、遵行祂道的人，便为有福。

太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神。（约 1:1）神的道就是神的话，神的气息，而圣经里很清楚的告诉我们，出于神的话，没有一句不带能力的。是的，神的话句句都是炼净，是大有能力的，凡投靠祂的，祂便作他们的盾牌。你知道吗？神口里所出的每一句话是决不徒然返回的，却是要成就祂所喜悦的。今天，我们如何讨神的喜悦？圣经里告诉我们，人非有信，就不能得神的喜悦，因为到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信祂赏赐那寻求祂的人。也就是说，我们要肯定的相信神话语的真实，知道我们的神不会背弃祂的诺言，祂必定会成就一切祂所应许给我们的。

当我们遵守神的道，昼夜思想祂的话，我们的生命就像一棵树栽在溪水旁，按时结果子，叶子也不枯干，凡我们所作的尽都顺利。不但如此，祂也保守我们所有的一切，包括了我们的健康，事业，家庭，经济，以及一切我们所在乎的，并且我们的世世代代神都为我们看顾。我们的主要赐福给我们，祂要我们一生一世都有恩惠慈爱跟随着我们，好叫我们的生命是为主发光，是有神迹奇事跟随着我们的，能够见证我们所相信的耶稣基督，我们所传的道是真实的。

朋友们，我们的好处不在神以外。祂是我们的葡萄树，而我们是祂的枝子，离了祂我们不能做什么。因此，我们只管遵行神的道，不管面对什么问题，不管面前的山有多高，浪有多大，我们只管相信我们的主是平息风浪的主，是叫我们得胜有余的神。阿门！

凡事都有定期

Monday, February 15, 2016

传道书3：1 凡事都有定期，天下万务都有定时。

很多时候，事情并不会按着我们期望的时间来完成或实现。即便我们很周全的策划，尽心尽力把一切都准备好，但事情还是会有意外的出错，这一切确实看似不从人愿，使到我们很沮丧。
但倘若你确信并坚定耶稣基督的信实，你在祂里面也是有盼望的，那至终都会有好的结局；箴言23：18说“因为至终必有善报，你的指望也不致断绝”。当你耐心等候，必欢呼收割，因为你的神祂说到就做到。神的话也鼓励你不可丢弃勇敢的心，因存这样的心必得大赏赐。
你当耐心等候，给它时间酝酿发酵，就如同一瓶好酒的出产，都必须经过时间的淬炼，不是吗？

耶利米哀歌3：25凡等候耶和华，心里寻求祂的，耶和华必施恩给祂。

Fear Free Life

Sunday, February 14, 2016

Psalm 34:4- “I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.”
‭‭
Fear is not of God, and the opposite and the enemy of fear is love. Fear takes away and drains up all your energy and hope, while love imparts hope and security in you. Dear friends, Jesus never come to impart you fear, for He comes to demolish all the stronghold of fears in your life, He longs to see you living a fear free life, being bold and courageous in possessing all that He has given you! Know that Jesus is the answer of your life, so seek The Lord with all your cares, for He really cares for you! Place all your anxiety to Him, look to His faithfulness instead of your fears. Find rest in Him, instead of striving to achieve anything by your own. You know what? Fear has no right to stay when you're in love, therefore dwell in His love and let His perfect love casts out all fears!

Boast Only In The Lord

Saturday, February 13, 2016

Psalms 34:2- “I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are helpless take heart.”
‭‭
David wrote this psalms when he was facing a great challenge, the enemies are encamping around and yet he chose to praise The Lord! So, imagine when you're surrounding by enemies and challenges, many of times we will choose to complain and murmur on the issues around, we will speak of what we see instead of what God has promised us. King David said he will boast only in The Lord, therefore, no matter what is before your eyes right now, choose to boast only in The Lord! Don't boast about how great is your issues, but boast about how great is Jesus! Choose to Eye on Jesus, the One who loves and accepts you unconditionally; boast not your issues of life but Him alone, and you shall see impossibles become possibles, water into wine, five loaves and two fish become twelve baskets full of leftover!

天天背负我们的重担

Saturday, February 13, 2016

诗篇68:19天天背负我们重担的主，就是拯救我们的神，是应当称颂的。

哈利路亚！亲爱的朋友，你知道其实你可以无忧虑无惧怕地生活吗？
纵然当我们活在这世上是难免会遇到许多挑战和难题，但是感谢神，因为我们的主天天背负我们的重担甚至给我们所有的好处。
耶稣已带领我们进入得胜，使我们成为胜利者在我们的生命中。因此，不管你处于什么样的状况，当记得你是得胜有余的，因为耶稣已为你取得了永远的胜利！
当你生病时，信靠那天天背负你重担并且医治你的主；
当你软弱的时候，信靠那天天背负你重担并且使你刚强你的主；
当你缺乏的时候，信靠那天天背负你重担并且照着他荣耀丰富供应你的主；
当你忧虑的时候，信靠那天天背负你重担并且叫你把一切忧虑卸给他的主，因为他顾念你！

所以，生病的时候，赞美主；
软弱的时候，赞美主；
缺乏的时候，赞美主；
忧虑的时候，赞美主！因为在他里面并且藉着他，你现在得以在生命中掌权并且可以尽情地享受他赐给你那丰盛的生命！
赞美主！

Daily Bears Our Burdens

Friday, February 12, 2016

Psalms 68:19 Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

Hallelujah! Dear friend, do you know that you can actually live your life without worry and fear?
Though there are a lots of troubles and problems in this world while we are living our daily life, but thanks be to God, for the Lord our God has daily bears our burdens and even loads us with benefits.
Jesus has led us into triumphal and made us a victor in life. Therefore, no matter what kind of situation you may be in, do remember that you are more than conquerors for Jesus has won the victory!
When you are sick, trust in the Lord who daily bears your burdens and heals your sick;
When you are weak, trust in the Lord who daily bears your burdens and makes you strong;
When you are lacking, trust in the Lord who daily bears your burdens and provides you according to His glorious riches;
When you are worry, trust in the Lord who daily bears your burdens and cast all your anxieties to Him who cares for you!

So, praise God when you are sick;
Praise God when you are weak;
Praise God when you are lacking;
Praise God when you are worry, for in Him and through Him, you can now reign in life and enjoy the life He has given to you to the fullest!
Praise the Lord!

活出恩典的生命

Friday, February 12, 2016

多 2：11-12 - 因为神救众人的恩典已经显明出来，教训我们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日。

恩典，就是我们白白从神得来，不是靠着我们的行为，不是因着我们的的背景，不是因着我们自身的条件。我们的主耶稣基督早在两千多年前，为了我们的罪牺牲，把这恩典白白的赐给了我们，好叫我们今天不再是靠着自己的行为去讨神的喜悦。是的，罪已不能做我们的主，因为我们不在律法之下，乃是在恩典之下了。但是，我们在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪吗？断乎不可！神的恩典给我们，是要叫我们除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自守、公义、敬虔度日。意思就是，以前我们不好的行为，体贴肉体的情欲等的行为，都要因着神所赐给我们的恩典，我们能够拒绝这一切，因我们是新造的人，我们是已脱去旧人的行为，跟从前不好的说不再见了。

朋友们，如今我们在基督里，我们有个圣灵住在我们里面，我们是从圣灵而生的了。然而，若我们是从圣灵而生，就当靠圣灵行事。我们所做的要体贴圣灵，而非体贴肉体，因为体贴肉体的就是死，体贴圣灵的乃是生命平安。你知道吗？体贴肉体的人至终会被败坏的，因为很多时候所作的不能使自己得着益处，反而是在伤害自己。例如一个爱发脾气的人，若经常体贴肉体去发脾气，最终肯定会让自己的情绪不好，使自己烦躁；一个经常爱醉酒的人，夜夜醉得不省人事，肯定到最后是伤害自己的身体；一个爱赌博的人，天天好赌，最终肯定会使家庭不和睦，甚至破裂。想想看，这些事情是否因着我们是活在恩典之下就不再重要了吗？

其实，神赐给我们恩典是要叫我们活的更加自由，活的更加丰盛，而不是被世上的情欲来牵引我们。当我们晓得恩典，这恩典是让我们更加荣上加荣，更加敬虔，更加爱主的。因此，让我们不要徒受神的恩典，乃要活出更加精彩的生命，好叫人看见我们的时候能把一切的荣耀都归给我们在天上的父。阿门！

灵魂的牧人

Friday, February 12, 2016

彼得前书2：25 -你们从前好像迷路的羊，如今却归到你们灵魂的牧人监督了。

今天，是什么正在牧养你的生命呢？是自己的作为，或是善行，还是我们的大祭司耶稣来牧养你的生命呢？或许如今的正处在水深火热之中，四处碰壁，但无论是什么，都要谨记如今你在耶稣基督里的身份，你是神的孩子，有权柄有能力践踏恶者的一切作为。

当耶稣是你的牧者，想想，一个牧者的责任是什么呢？是任由羊群被攻击呢？还是保护羊群的呢？耶稣是一个好牧者，在你生命里，祂保护你，监督你，引领你走对的路，你不再迷路了。可能你会说，有那么多祂需要照顾看护的人，怎么可能会在意你呢？但，祂就是你的牧者。祂就是有这样的能力。所以不要再怀疑，在祂的眼里，你最珍贵，祂把你铭刻在祂掌心上（赛49：16）。

当有祂的同在，你是不缺乏的。不要再听信任何的谎言，在那一个方面你都不缺乏；无论经济上，健康上，婚姻关系里，你都不缺乏；耶稣祂为你挡风遮雨！所以记住了，就算有时你觉得你是孤单一个人，祂也依然守护着你，更是时刻供应你。你和祂的关系是如此的亲密；所以尽情的享受祂的牧养吧，祂是你灵魂的牧人。哈利路亚！

He Understands

Thursday, February 11, 2016

Psalm 139:1- “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.”
‭‭
People may have know your weaknesses and yet rejected you;
Or there may be challenges seem too big that no one actually understands;
You think that you're walking in life alone, and no one seems to care, then you're wrong!
My friends, if you think that no one understands you, Jesus knows you well! He knows all things about you,
He knows when you will fall, but even if He knows, He still loves you! So,
Even if you have weaknesses, He knows it all and He never gives up on you,
Because of that, you can have the assurance to run to Him whenever you face challenges in life!
Knowing God knows you and loves you, you can walk like like a bold prince and princess!

Father

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

2 Corinthians 6:18- “And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭
In the Old Testament, you can never see God portrays Himself as a Father. But when Jesus came to the world, He came to introduce God in a totally new identity, which is a Father. Therefore for Jews and people of the law, this is a totally new teaching that they never heard it before! You know what?
A father's responsibility is to ensure security and protection over the children, and provide whatever that pertains to life to them. God is our wonderful father, that loves to give you good things! He cares all that concerns you, and whatever that matters to you matters to Him! When You're His, expect that you will be wonderfully supplied! When such a good Father is with you, you can have boldness and assurance knowing that your year will definitely be wonderful and good!

拿起你的权柄

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

路 10:19 - 我已经给你们权柄可以践踏蛇和蝎子，又胜过仇敌一切的能力，断没有什么能害你们。

权柄，就是你有能力发号施令，有权利去执行某项事情，是你可以做的事。我们活在这个世上，身为神的儿女，神早已把权柄赐给了我们，好叫我们靠着祂在这世上的生命是得胜有余的。但是很多时候许多的基督徒却不知道自己已经有了这权柄，反而一直把自己处于不好的情况下。其实，我们必须清楚地知道，当我们接受了耶稣成为我们生命的救主，我们就是神家里的一份子了，而身为神儿女的我们，拥有父所赐给我们的权柄。唯有当你晓得，你才能够使用。

你知道吗？很多神的孩子们并不知道我们的天父已把权柄赐给我们，当他们面对问题的时候，甚至没有办法反抗，只能处于下风，只有挨打的份。当病痛来到，只能被病痛折磨；缺乏来到，只能苦上加苦；关系破裂来到，只能一拍两散；问题来到，只能逃避问题等。其实，身为神儿女的我们，我们是有能力反击的。因为我们有权柄可以命令一切不属于我们的东西，不能靠近我们。就好比当病痛来到时，我们可以奉耶稣基督的名字，祂是医治者，祂是完全健康的，所以对自己的健康说：我们是属神的，祂如何，我们在这世上也如何，因此祂没有病痛，我们的身上也不会有病痛的存在！拿起你的权柄，命令病痛要离开你的身体，因为我们是神的殿，神的灵住在我们里面，一切不属神的也肯定不属于我们。当面临危害时，不要忘了你有一位全能的父，祂是无时无刻与你同在的，呼求祂的名，祂必定应允你。

朋友们，要明白自己的身份，要懂得拿起神所赐的权柄，知道我们的神是随时帮助我们，并且对我们是不离不弃的。相信神的应许句句都是真实的，因为祂是一位信实的神，祂口所出的话绝不徒然返回的。所以，从此刻开始，不要再被蒙蔽了，而是要拿起权柄，过着得胜的生命！阿门！

当你从水中经过

Wednesday, February 10, 2016

以赛亞书43：2 你從水中经过，我必与你同在；你蹚過江河，水必不漫過你。

你曾否絕望到一个地步，就像在水中掙扎吗？的確，人生困境可能让人難以承受。雖然上帝並未许诺我們可以逃离人生的坎坷磨难，但祂确实应许说：「我总不撇下你，也不丟棄你。」（希伯來书13:5）。在我们受试探的时候，总会开一条出路给我们，叫我们可以跨越。（哥林多前书10：13。）

在这恶者掌权的世界，我们无法逃避问题，但非常感恩的是当有上帝与我们同在，就不至于惧怕；问题它不能打倒我们，我们却是走在问题之上。我们可以確信这位信实的上帝必与我們同在。祂应许说：「你從水中经过，我必與你同在；你蹚過江河，水必不漫过你。」

在遭遇困境時，更要过着敬虔谨守的生活，以一种荣耀的心态度过每一天。有時可能会令人沮喪和失望，但上帝是信实的，若我们坚持到底，就必看见转机。即便有时不明白难题该如何解決，上帝也將賦予我们能力，帮助我們继续往前走。加拉太书6：9亦提醒我們说「行善，不可丧志；若不灰心，到了时候就要收成」。阿门！

What Is Your Response

Tuesday, February 9, 2016

Romans 8:31- “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”
‭‭
Although there might be challenges in front of you that seems too big, although there are problems that you think it's impossible to solve, maybe you have no solutions, but towards all these things, what do you say in response? Many of times our lips tend to speak things that are not in line with the word of God, as he is in his heart, he speaks; so our response is the detector of what we actually believe in! When Jesus faced challenges before Him, He never speaks of a defeated word as His response; but instead He speaks life, He speaks according to the Father, He speaks the word, that's the response that He gave! He responded to the issues coming to Him by following to the will of the Father, if the will of God is to see you healthy, that's why Jesus spoke "be healed!" "Stand up and walk!" To those who are sick. So, what will be your response?
Always remember that Jesus is for you, He is with you and He is in you! Therefore, how to response to all the issues around you? By having confident in Him! My friend, sickness, lack, challenges cannot stand against you because you have Jesus!! That's the great privilege that you can enjoy, when Jesus is with you, nothing can be against you! :)

It's Done

Monday, February 8, 2016

John 19:30- When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

No one can comes to the Father except through the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is He who holds all things together in our lives, and it is Him, the Lamb of God who can take away our sins. A new life has begin when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our identity has made a tremendous change, from a sinner to a righteous, from a slave to a free man, from being rejected to acceptance, from nobody into somebody, because of Jesus, we can expect life never the same, it will not stay the same forever, but from glory to glory!
Therefore, you already have it! the healing that you need, it's done; the breakthrough that you need, it's done; the supply that you need, it's done; the opportunity that you need, it's done! It's all done through one man Jesus, so love your life and live it boldly!

你不再一样了

Monday, February 8, 2016

弗 4:22-24 - 就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人，这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的。又要将你们的心志改换一新，并且穿上新人，这新人是照着神的形像造的，有真理的仁义和圣洁。

相信每一个人都希望自己变得更好，无论是在品格上，情绪上，外在，内在，甚至是在物质上，生活上，都能够更上一层楼。是的，每一个人都希望自己能够改变，可以越来越好，但是很多时候却事与愿违，我们不但做不到更好，反而却做了不想做的事。如今，当我们接受了耶稣基督成为我们生命的救主，在基督里我们就是新造的人，有圣灵住在我们里面。而这圣灵的工作就是时时刻刻提醒我们耶稣所说的一切话。

朋友们，当我们成为神的儿女那一刻开始，我们就脱去从前行为上的旧人，这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的。所以当圣灵住进我们里面时，它会时时刻刻提醒我们不要再重蹈覆辙，不要再走回以前会败坏我们的路了。如今的我们是已经焕然一新，所以要在我们的心志上改换一新，不要被旧的思想缠绕着我们，因为我们这新人是照着神的形像造的，是有真理的仁义和圣洁，是带着基督的样式的。从前我们的坏习惯，坏脾气，不好的行为已与基督同钉在十字架上，如今活着的不再是我们，而是基督在我们里面活着，因此我们的言行举止是越来越像基督。

你知道吗？你的旧人已经被埋葬了，已经死了，所以不要再被从前的事给缠绕了。我们如今是新造的人，是不再一样的，是充满着父的荣光，是被爱的，是被我们的主捧在手心上的宝贝。若你真的晓得自己新的身份，你肯定不会再留恋那从前的自己，而是会更加努力的往前进，好让一切的荣耀归给我们天上的父。阿门！

常常祷告

Monday, February 8, 2016

诗篇16：9耶和华听了我的恳求；耶和华必收纳我的祷告。

你是否正经历一波未平，一波又起的困境？前一天，你感謝上帝事情稍微平息了，但隔天醒來後卻發現，又有地方開始出差錯，問題還是沒有彻底解決。

在路加福音18：1提到：「耶穌設一個比喻，是要人常常祷告，不可灰心」。紧接下来就说到有一位寡妇不住地哀求官员为她申冤的比喻。最终那官为了不让这寡妇纠缠下去，就为她伸了冤（路加1：2-8）。世上的官即是如此，何况是我们的阿爸天父，祂岂不更要把最好的都给我们吗？

祷告不是吩咐上帝照我們的意思去做，而是与祂之间亲密的交通，如同在世上与我们所爱的人，我们时刻都会想要跟他/她说话。在祷告中，我們將自己的生命及面對的处境都交託在祂手中，相信祂必引领我们走过人生的低潮。當我們倚靠上帝的恩典，就能在等待祷告蒙应允的当中，学习完全交託，而且也能靠著祂的恩典，不停止脚步，相信祂的看顧，继续往前走。

主啊！感谢祢，在我面對困难時，祢从未离弃我，
我要保守我心，守住祢的话，有祢的恩典，一切都会变好；
祷告能改变一切。阿门！

Submit to God

Monday, February 8, 2016

Job 22:21 - “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.”
‭‭
God wants a relationship with you, intimately! Submission does not come by force, it flows out of love. Hence, submitting and agreeing with God does not require your special effort, or your will power to carry it on; rather, it just happens when you fall in love with Jesus! Instead of looking on what you should achieve, the moment when you look at what He has achieved for you, how much that He loves you, submission births out! Therefore, as you get to know Him through His words and submit to what He says, simply by believing that when the Word says so, it settles it; you shall be at peace!! Peace not of the world but peace that comes from Jesus! Furthermore, you shall see when you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all that you need will be added and come to you!
