Day 13 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary

 

 

第十三天1015(六)

今早一醒来就有这念头,所以就把它上载在Facebook:

“上帝若要賜福你,他自然會也能,無視你的背景、條件、狀況、機會等等,他總會有辦法,在他沒有難成的事!你只要做討他喜悅的人。。。”

然后这首经文诗歌就出现:

耶和华如此说:“你们不要记念从前的事,也不要思想古时的事。看哪!我要做一件新事,如今要发现,你们岂不知道吗?我必在旷野开道路,在沙漠开江河。
~ 以赛亚书43:18-19 ~

依我的观察, 上帝若真的要赐福,他才不管你现在所处的环境、待遇、条件等等,按人眼光是否能让你步步高升、薪金优厚;他是全能和超智慧的,他自然有办法让你蒙福超过所求所想!就因为是超过人所能想像,所以那才叫神迹,人也不能夺取那荣耀,阿们!

 

 

Day 13 : Oct 15th (Sat)

As I got up this morning, this thought came to me, so I posted it on Facebook:

“If God wants to bless you, He Will and He Can regardless of your background, qualifications, circumstance, chances etc. He can always find a way, nothing is too difficult for Him! All you need to do is be a person pleasing to Him…”

Immediately these verses floated into my mind:

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
~ Isaiah 43:18-19 ~

From my observation, if God really wants to bless, He will not be bothered by the environment, situation, condition etc you are in, or whether from human perspective you have any good prospect to rise and attain attractive remuneration. He is all powerful with super wisdom, He naturally has the method to bless you beyond what you ask for and think! And because it is beyond what humans can imagine, that is why it is called miracle, and no one can snatch His glory too, Amen!

 

 

Day 12 : 禁食日记 / Fasting Diary

 

第十二天1014(五)

有几个晚上好像没做什么特别的梦,昨晚依然有祷告说:神啊,你若要透过梦境跟我说话,就如此行吧。。。

早上醒来,感觉神没说话,没有什么有印象或感觉特别的梦境。灵修读经时问上帝今天中午带领祷告的方向,突然昨晚一个梦境浮现,随着而来的是一段经文。。。原来神有说话!

我梦见我意想不到的两个年轻人也跟我们一起禁食,特别有一位都已离神很远,甚至没看到他在教会里。在梦里,他很瘦,说他也与我们一起禁食,我很惊讶!感觉上他和以前一样火热,我感到很高兴。。。可是如今看到的事实不是如此。

当这梦境倒回来时,马上这经文就出现在我脑海里:

“弟兄们,若有人偶然被过犯所胜,你们属灵的人,就当用温柔的心把他挽回过来;又当自己小心,恐怕也被引诱。你们各人的重担要互相担当,如此,就完全了基督的律法。”
~ 加拉太书6:1-2 ~

太多时候,我们对软弱退后、冷淡跌倒的人,都报以批判和论断的眼光。今天,上帝提醒我们,他还爱他们,我们当为他们祷告,以温柔的爱心尽量把他们挽回过来。

另,第二节的“你们各人的重担要互相担当,如此,就完全了基督的律法。”。。。原来要完全基督的律法是那么简单的一件事。。。

 

 

Day 12 : Oct 14th (Fri)

For a few nights I did not have seemingly very special dreams, last night as usual I prayed: O God, if You want to speak to me through dreams, then please do…

When I woke up in the morning, I felt God did not speak, there was no impression of or any dream I feel special. While reading the Bible during my devotional time, I asked God for the direction in today’s noon-time prayer. Suddenly one scene of my dream last night appeared in my mind, followed by some verses… Yes! God did speak!

I dreamt of two unexpected young people fasting together with us, especially one who is very far from God now, and I do not even see him in church sometimes. In the dream, he looked very thin, he said he is also fasting together with us. I was very surprised! It felt like he was on fire like before, I was very happy… but what I see in reality at the moment is not so.

When this dream reappeared in my mind, immediately the following verses came to my mind too:

“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.  Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
~ Galatians 6:1-2 ~

Too many times, we tend to be critical and judgmental toward those who have back-slidden, fallen or turned cold. Today, God reminded us, He still loves them, and we should pray for them and try our best to restore them with a gentle loving heart.

Also, verse 2 says “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”… Suddenly realized it is such a simple thing to fulfill the law of Christ…

第十一天1013(四)

今天领祷告时的感动。。。求主扩大我们的心胸,就在最软弱时还能给人鼓励,就在最缺乏时也还能祝福别人,而且纯粹因为爱和关怀,没有想到回报或上帝会有什么奖赏。。。

我们也宣告教会异象其中一点:“叫万国因我们得福”。

我必叫你成为大国;我必赐福给你,叫你的名为大,你也要叫别人得福。为你祝福的,我必赐福与他;那咒诅你的,我必咒诅他;地上的万族都要因你得福。
~创世记12:2-3~

这是上帝给亚伯拉罕的应许,圣经也说我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔;因此,这应许也临到我们身上。
我相信“大国”也可以指我们所做的会越发蒙福扩大,好让我们能成为越多人的祝福。
但何谓亚伯拉罕的后裔?即,无论怎么样都对神有信心的人。然而,我相信亚伯拉罕能成为大国,能那么蒙福并不止因为他有大信心,他也有很大,很会祝福人的心胸!

上帝赐福亚伯拉罕,也要亚伯拉罕赐福别人。身为亚伯拉罕的后裔,这一点我们一定也要活出来,才是真正活在神的旨意里。

有施散的,却更增添;有吝惜过度的,反致穷乏。好施舍的,必得丰裕;滋润人的,必得滋润。
~箴言11:24-25~

Day 11 : Oct 13th (Thur)

The prompting in my heart today as I led the prayer meeting… May God stretch our hearts that we may still encourage others even in our weakest moment, and bless others when we are the most lacking; and to do all these purely out of love and concern, not thinking about any return or how God is going to reward us…

We also proclaimed one of the points in our Blessed Vision: “That all nations will be blessed through us”.

I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
~Genesis 12:2-3~

This is the promise God gave Abraham, and the Bible tells us that we are Abraham’s descendants. Therefore this promise comes on us too. I believe “a great nation” can also mean whatever we do will be extended and blessed in order that we can become a blessing to even more people.
But what is Abraham’s descendant? It is someone with faith to believe in God no matter what. But I believe for Abraham to become such a great nation and so blessed, he not only had great faith, he had a very big heart that blessed others too!

God blessed Abraham, and He wanted Abraham to bless others as well. As Abraham’s descendants, we must live this out in order to be truly living in God’s will.

One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
~Proverbs 11:24-25~
