OT 第 433天 - 神在今天呼召你做一個祈禱的人 (請按此處收聼廣東話 )

安靜
1.  停下來. 靜一靜
2.  等候主. 深呼吸經歷主之平安, 感受主的臨在, 呼出你的憂慮

讚美及感恩
1.  思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻
2.  為那些時刻及有關的人感恩
3.  敞開心懷讚美主

      你 們 要 讚 美 耶 和 華 ! 向 耶 和 華 唱 新 歌 , 在 聖 民 的 會 中 讚 美 他 !
            詩篇 149:1
                        
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.  求聖靈在你生命中工作
      "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。」


聆聽主話 (撒母耳記上 12:16-25)


    16 現 在 你 們 要 站 住 , 看 耶 和 華 在 你 們 眼 前 要 行 一 件 大 事 。
17 這 不 是 割 麥 子 的 時 候 麼 ? 我 求 告 耶 和 華 , 他 必 打 雷 降 雨 , 使 你 們 又 知 道 又 看 出 , 你 們 求 立 王 的 事 是 在 耶 和 華 面 前 犯 大 罪 了 。
18 於 是 撒 母 耳 求 告 耶 和 華 , 耶 和 華 就 在 這 日 打 雷 降 雨 , 眾 民 便 甚 懼 怕 耶 和 華 和 撒 母 耳 。
19 眾 民 對 撒 母 耳 說 : 求 你 為 僕 人 們 禱 告 耶 和 華 ─ 你 的 神 , 免 得 我 們 死 亡 , 因 為 我 們 求 立 王 的 事 正 是 罪 上 加 罪 了 。
20 撒 母 耳 對 百 姓 說 : 不 要 懼 怕 ! 你 們 雖 然 行 了 這 惡 , 卻 不 要 偏 離 耶 和 華 , 只 要 盡 心 事 奉 他 。
21 若 偏 離 耶 和 華 去 順 從 那 不 能 救 人 的 虛 神 是 無 益 的 。
22 耶 和 華 既 喜 悅 選 你 們 作 他 的 子 民 , 就 必 因 他 的 大 名 不 撇 棄 你 們 。
23 至 於 我 , 斷 不 停 止 為 你 們 禱 告 , 以 致 得 罪 耶 和 華 。 我 必 以 善 道 正 路 指 教 你 們 。
24 只 要 你 們 敬 畏 耶 和 華 , 誠 誠 實 實 地 盡 心 事 奉 他 , 想 念 他 向 你 們 所 行 的 事 何 等 大 。
25 你 們 若 仍 然 作 惡 , 你 們 和 你 們 的 王 必 一 同 滅 亡 。
                           撒母耳記上 12:16-25    
現在讓你有一段安靜的時間, 給聖靈一個空間, 讓主耶穌可以藉着你剛才讀過的經文, 對你說話:


我的聆聽

          Today's passage shows how the Israelites knew that their sins were beyond what they could bear, so they asked Samuel to pray for them. And Samuel replied to them that he would surely pray for them even though Samuel was so sad about their rebelliousness. 


讓我們聽聽 John Goldingay 教授的教導: 
           We often think of prophets as people who bring God's word to the people, and we think of priests as people who bring the people's offerings to God. But prophets are involved in a two-way mediation; being a prophet means taking part in the meetings of the heavenly cabinet, and this involves a responsibility to represent your people in those meetings as well as a responsibility to tell the people about the decisions it has taken. Priests are also involved in a two-way mediation. As the story of Hannah and Eli shows, they bring God's word to people as well as bringing their offerings to God, but in bringing people's offerings priests also bring the prayers and praises of which the offerings are an outward expression.  
          
John Goldingay. 1 and 2 Samuel for Everyone. Louisville,KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2011, p.63-64.

     
         May be you think that you are neither a prophet nor a priest, so today's passage has nothing to do with you.

         What I received from Jesus to you today is that Jesus is inviting you to become a man or woman of prayer. There is nothing more important for you to aware that every disciple of Jesus need to become a man or woman of prayer. 

          You need to join the weekly or daily Prayer Meeting of your church to learn to pray and to pray in unity. You need to pray as often as you can and to experience the sweetness of your time with Abba and the power of prayer.

          Are you willing? 

親愛的主耶穌,
   Help us to be willing to become a man or woman of prayer.  奉主耶穌基督名求, 阿們。

      省察問題
    1. How important it is for you to become a man or woman of prayer?

2. Do you think Jesus is calling you now to become a man or woman of prayer? How do you respond to Jesus's call?

    3. What have you got from Jesus today?

OT DAY 433 - God Invites You to Become A Man of Prayer Today (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
3.   Open your heart to praise the Lord

         Praise the Lord!
          Sing to the Lord a new song,
             his praise in the assembly of the godly!
           
                    Psalm 149:1

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 work in you:

     “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 (1 Samuel 12:16-25)


       
       16 Now therefore stand still and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. 17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.” 18 So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.” 20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And do not turn aside after empty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty. 22 For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself. 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, and I will instruct you in the good and the right way. 24 Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. 25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away,both you and your king.”
                                                                 1   Samuel 12: 16-25


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, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"

My Listening

          Today's passage shows how the Israelites knew that their sins were beyond what they could bear, so they asked Samuel to pray for them. And Samuel replied to them that he would surely pray for them even though Samuel was so sad about their rebelliousness. 

Let's see how Professor John Goldingay tells us: 
    
           We often think of prophets as people who bring God's word to the people, and we think of priests as people who bring the people's offerings to God. But prophets are involved in a two-way mediation; being a prophet means taking part in the meetings of the heavenly cabinet, and this involves a responsibility to represent your people in those meetings as well as a responsibility to tell the people about the decisions it has taken. Priests are also involved in a two-way mediation. As the story of Hannah and Eli shows, they bring God's word to people as well as bringing their offerings to God, but in bringing people's offerings priests also bring the prayers and praises of which the offerings are an outward expression.

          Are you willing? 

Dear Lord Jesus, 
    Help us to be willing to become a man or woman of prayer. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
    1. How important it is for you to become a man or woman of prayer?

2. Do you think Jesus is calling you now to become a man or woman of prayer? How do you respond to Jesus's call?

    3. What have you got from Jesus today?
