DAY 365 (2019) - Return to me! My blessing to you will like flooding! (Please click here for English podcast)




Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:



     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”



2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 150:1-6, Malachi 3:1-4:6; Revelation 22:1-21, Proverbs 31:25-31)


    Today's main passage:
      “I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years.

Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

Malachi 3:1-4, 7-10
       
      
 Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.

    My Listening
      The topic I received today is: Return to me! My blessing to you will be like flooding!

     Many people think that today's passage from Malachi talks about if God's people offer their tithing, which is one tenth of what they have to God, then God will bless their money to a level that they have no place to store those money!

     Wrong! This passage is talking about the change of relationship concerning with God's people! It's somewhat like a wife changes her love to her husband, not loving her family anymore, and more than that, the wife steals money from her husband to spend in an extravagance way, even to gamble and lose all, the result is a broken family and without anything!

    But, if this wife turns her heart back to her husband, then, the love of her husband will like flooding!

    If we follow God's standard and direction (who will bring offerings in righteousness) to make offerings to God, just as what it says in Malachi 3:3-4, God's blessings to us will be like flooding! Because He delights in our love to Him and accepts our wholehearted offerings of love!

     Yes, that's so simple, God will open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that would somewhat like flooding!

     May you turn to God like that in 2020 to be sure to receive God opening the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing like flooding!

     

     Dear Abba Father,
     Help us to turn to you like that in 2020 so that we can receive your opening the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing like flooding. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
     
Reflect on these questions:

1. What kind of inspiration and invitation have you received from today's message?


2. What is your next step to turn to God like that?

安靜

讚美及感恩

知罪,認罪,悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法) http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1. 求聖靈光照,使你知罪,願意認罪悔改 
     "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, 
        求你幫助, 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。」


親親爸父, 聆聽主話(詩篇 150:1-6; 瑪拉基書 3:1-4:6; 啓示錄 22:1-21; 箴言 31:25-31)

新約聖經廣東話聆聽版: https://www.hkbible.org/revelation

今日的主題經文:
萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 說 : 我 要 差 遣 我 的 使 者 在 我 前 面 預 備 道 路 。 你 們 所 尋 求 的 主 必 忽 然 進 入 他 的 殿 ; 立 約 的 使 者 , 就 是 你 們 所 仰 慕 的 , 快 要 來 到 。
他 來 的 日 子 , 誰 能 當 得 起 呢 ? 他 顯 現 的 時 候 , 誰 能 立 得 住 呢 ? 因 為 他 如 煉 金 之 人 的 火 , 如 漂 布 之 人 的 鹼 。
他 必 坐 下 如 煉 淨 銀 子 的 , 必 潔 淨 利 未 人 , 熬 煉 他 們 像 金 銀 一 樣 ; 他 們 就 憑 公 義 獻 供 物 給 耶 和 華 。
那 時 , 猶 大 和 耶 路 撒 冷 所 獻 的 供 物 必 蒙 耶 和 華 悅 納 , 彷 彿 古 時 之 日 、 上 古 之 年 。

萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 說 : 從 你 們 列 祖 的 日 子 以 來 , 你 們 常 常 偏 離 我 的 典 章 而 不 遵 守 。 現 在 你 們 要 轉 向 我 , 我 就 轉 向 你 們 。 你 們 卻 問 說 : 我 們 如 何 才 是 轉 向 呢 ?
人 豈 可 奪 取 神 之 物 呢 ? 你 們 竟 奪 取 我 的 供 物 。 你 們 卻 說 : 我 們 在 何 事 上 奪 取 你 的 供 物 呢 ? 就 是 你 們 在 當 納 的 十 分 之 一 和 當 獻 的 供 物 上 。
因 你 們 通 國 的 人 都 奪 取 我 的 供 物 , 咒 詛 就 臨 到 你 們 身 上 。
10 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 說 : 你 們 要 將 當 納 的 十 分 之 一 全 然 送 入 倉 庫 , 使 我 家 有 糧 , 以 此 試 試 我 , 是 否 為 你 們 敞 開 天 上 的 窗 戶 , 傾 福 與 你 們 , 甚 至 無 處 可 容 。         瑪拉基書 3:1-4, 7-10

現在讓你有一個安靜的時刻,給聖靈一個空間,讓主耶穌可以藉着剛才讀過的經文,親自對你説話。

我的聆聽
今日領受到的主題是 :你轉向我! 我祝福你到水浸!

很多人以爲今日瑪拉基書這段是講如果神的子民有十一奉獻,神就會祝福你的財產到無處可容!

錯! 今日瑪拉基書的經文是講以色列人和神的關係轉變了,好像一個變了心的妻子不再愛丈夫,不年愛她的家,偷丈夫的錢去揮霍,去賭場,終於家破人亡,一無所有!

但如果這妻子的心再轉向丈夫,她丈夫全心全意的愛會有如水浸氾濫一様!

如果我們照着神的指示及標準(亦即憑公義)奉獻給神,正如瑪拉基書 3: 3-4一樣 ,祝福就有如水浸氾濫一様,因為神悅納我們真心,全心全意的奉獻:

"他 們 就 憑 公 義 獻 供 物 給 耶 和 華 。
那 時 , 猶 大 和 耶 路 撒 冷 所 獻 的 供 物 必 蒙 耶 和 華 悅 納 , 彷 彿 古 時 之 日 、 上 古 之 年 。


就係咁簡單,我們就在這關係的"轉向"中,領受主打開天窗,祝福你到水浸!

祝願你在2020年能這様轉向神,領受主打開天窗,祝福你到水浸!


親愛的爸父
求你使我們在2020年能這様轉向你,能領受你打開天窗,祝福我們到水浸,奉主耶穌基督名求,阿們。


省察問題
1. 今日的信息給您怎様一個提醒及邀請

2. 你願意在2020年能這様轉向神,領受主打開天窗,祝福你到水浸的下一步是甚麼?

家庭角落
找機會與家人分享今日信息的重要

讚美
