      "親愛的聖靈, 求你光照我心靈的深處, 使我看見我的罪, 我和主耶穌的阻隔,
        求主幫助, 奉主耶穌基督名求。阿們。"

2. 透過聖靈的工作, 安靜一刻, 省察自己, 之後祈禱:
     「親愛的主耶穌,感謝你為我的罪釘死在十字架上,我願意在你面前承認我的罪(凡聖靈光照到的,請逐一說出),求你用你的寶血赦免我的罪,我願意打開心門讓你作我的救主,求你救贖我,我願意一生跟隨你讓你作我生命的主,求你帶領我。聖靈,求你充滿我,使我得著恩賜及力量去事奉主、見證主。奉主耶穌基督名求,阿們。」


聆聽主話 (民數記 11:1-35)



24 摩 西 出 去 , 將 耶 和 華 的 話 告 訴 百 姓 , 又 招 聚 百 姓 的 長 老 中 七 十 個 人 來 , 使 他 們 站 在 會 幕 的 四 圍 。
25 耶 和 華 在 雲 中 降 臨 , 對 摩 西 說 話 , 把 降 與 他 身 上 的 靈 分 賜 那 七 十 個 長 老 。 靈 停 在 他 們 身 上 的 時 候 , 他 們 就 受 感 說 話 , 以 後 卻 沒 有 再 說 。
26 但 有 兩 個 人 仍 在 營 裡 , 一 個 名 叫 伊 利 達 , 一 個 名 叫 米 達 。 他 們 本 是 在 那 些 被 錄 的 人 中 , 卻 沒 有 到 會 幕 那 裡 去 。 靈 停 在 他 們 身 上 , 他 們 就 在 營 裡 說 預 言 。
27 有 個 少 年 人 跑 來 告 訴 摩 西 說 : 伊 利 達 、 米 達 在 營 裡 說 預 言 。
28 摩 西 的 幫 手 , 嫩 的 兒 子 約 書 亞 , 就 是 摩 西 所 揀 選 的 一 個 人 , 說 : 請 我 主 摩 西 禁 止 他 們 。
29 摩 西 對 他 說 : 你 為 我 的 緣 故 嫉 妒 人 麼 ? 惟 願 耶 和 華 的 百 姓 都 受 感 說 話 ! 願 耶 和 華 把 他 的 靈 降 在 他 們 身 上 !
30 於 是 , 摩 西 和 以 色 列 的 長 老 都 回 到 營 裡 去 了 。

                                      民數記 11:24-30

現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可能以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:

我的聆聽
     We can see lots of things happening here in this chapter. The grumbling of Moses' people, the discouragement of Moses to the point of seeking to die, the encouragement of God to Moses and his seventy top leaders by filling them with the Holy Spirit and their exercising gifts of the Holy Spirit. The marvellous and miraculous provision of God giving them quail and then severe punishment of God by giving them a plague to teach them a serious lesson of trust.

     Now, I am going to focus on one thing. One very important thing that could bring discouragement to your pastors and leaders so as to destroy your whole church. We need to learn that to let go of our need and urge to control in order that the Holy Spirit may come filling everyone. That's the best way to solve church conflict! 

讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導: 
     God did put onto seventy senior Israelites some of the spirit that was on Moses. The sign is that they "prophesy," which means something like speaking in tongues, a sign for them and the community that God's spirit has come upon them and that they can share in Moses' responsibility. Amusingly, this even affects two of the seventy who had not come to the meeting tent. Joshua is worried about this, but Moses is fine about it. Maybe that says something to the later Israelite community and its leadership about not feeling the need to control everything that God's spirit may do.

John Goldingay. Numbers & Deuteronomy for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2010, p.30.



      Grumbling, complaint and discouragement always happen to God's people. Do you think it is just in your church? No, it is since Moses time. You need to know that to grumble is the most serious sin according to the book of the Numbers. It is grumbling that the Israelites had to wander in the desert for more than 38 years!

      Can you imagine the Holy Spirit came and some of them could speak in tongues? Not in the Day of Pentecost but in Moses time!

      We have so many conferences, seminars, courses and talks on how to solve conflict in churches. Well, that's not a topic we need to talk about! Why? Because since Moses time God already gives us the best way to solve church conflict, and that is:
       No need to control everything but let the Holy Spirit fill everyone

       It's not talking about the whole church but all the key leaders. If all the key leaders can be in unity, let go of their control instinct and to be filled by the Holy Spirit, there won't be any church conflict.

       I am honoured to be invited by the new bishop of Sabah, Rt. Rev. Melter Tais to preach in the church that he is the rector, St. David's Anglican Church yesterday, Day of Pentecost. I witnessed the wonderful and powerful work of the Holy Spirit to fill everyone in yesterday's service, more than 350 of us were filled by the Holy Spirit. I see the sweetness of unity in a church that has no grumbling, complaining or control issue but everyone are filled by the Holy Spirit to praise the Lord and doing God work joyfully. I have learned a lot! Praise the Lord! 

親愛的主耶穌,
Help us to let go of our control instinct, stop all grumbling and complaints and be ready and willing to be filled by the Holy Spirit. May Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done. 奉主耶穌基督名求, 阿們。

省察問題
1. Do you think grumbling, complaint and the need to control would kill a church and its leaders? How so? 

2. How can you let go of your control instinct so that you can be filled by the Holy Spirit? How can you help more people to experience that so that your church can be in unity doing God's Kingdom work? 







There were more than 500 deers behind us! We were in a deer farm run by the Government.


Bishop Melter came to have afternoon tea with us and to lay hands to pray for Michelle and me. He also prayed for our driver, the Diocesan Project Manager on his birthday.







感恩讚美
