安靜

讚美及感恩
1.  思想最近使你開心歡笑的時刻

知罪，認罪，悔改 (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method 轉位靈修法  https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/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侍奉主、見證主，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。」

3.  司徒德牧師每天早上的 "活像基督"祈禱 John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

   "天父，求你使我今天活在你的同在中，你一天比一天更喜悦我。

    主耶穌，求你使我今天能背起我的十字架去跟隨你。

    聖靈，求你在今天充滿我，使你的果子能彰顯在我的生命中: 仁愛，喜樂，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信實，温柔及節制。"

             

親親爸父, 唱詩歌頌

 

今日親親親爸父經文連結: http://api.pastoralcareschool.org/twa/

親親爸父經文:(詩篇 149:1-9; 馬拉基書 1:1-2:17; 啓示錄 21:1-27; 箴言 31:10-24)

你 們 要 讚 美 耶 和 華 ！ 向 耶 和 華 唱 新 歌 ， 在 聖 民 的 會 中 讚 美 他 ！

2 願 以 色 列 因 造 他 的 主 歡 喜 ！ 願 錫 安 的 民 因 他 們 的 王 快 樂 ！

3 願 他 們 跳 舞 讚 美 他 的 名 ， 擊 鼓 彈 琴 歌 頌 他 ！

4 因 為 耶 和 華 喜 愛 他 的 百 姓 ； 他 要 用 救 恩 當 作 謙 卑 人 的 妝 飾 。

5 願 聖 民 因 所 得 的 榮 耀 高 興 ！ 願 他 們 在 床 上 歡 呼 ！

詩篇 149:1-5

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

   今日我從主耶穌領受的主題是: 親親爸父，唱詩歌頌!

    因為在過差不多三年的疫情中，我學到最大的功課就是從主耶穌吩咐我每天在早禱及午禱的二個錄影都唱詩歌頌主中幫助很多人得着無比的釋放，安慰和力量，更重要的是經歷神的同在!

    二年前和孫女伍穌怡ZOE玩一個Board Game(紙版遊戲)，每行一步要答一個分享性的問題，增加彼此的認識。她選到一張咭的問題是: 你發怒時會做甚麼? 

    ZOE答, "When I am angry, I will worship ! 當我發怒時，我會唱詩歌頌敬拜主!"

    這是因為她從出世開始至當時五歲，我們的兒子伍因信牧師及媳婦Anna每天在家他們三個人都有幾次唱詩歌頌敬拜主的時間，我們住在他們樓上，經常聽到ZOE大聲唱詩歌頌讚美主大聲歡呼喜樂的聲音，所以她學到解決憤怒，不安及不開心的最好方法就是唱詩歌頌敬拜主!

    詩篇全卷150篇在昔日至現在猶太人的傳統都是唱出來讚美主的，所以每天用唱詩歌頌去敬拜主必然為大家帶來一個更甜蜜的親親爸父經歷!

    讓我們從今日的詩篇 149:1-5中，明白當我們用盡一切方法，唱歌，跳舞，擊鼓，彈琴敬拜主時，主會喜悅我們，詩篇 149:4 "他 要 用 救 恩 當 作 謙 卑 人 的 妝 飾 "，     NIV版是 "Crowns the humble with victory"，即是唱詩歌頌去敬拜主就是謙卑緊靠主的人，他會使我們得勝，並賜我們勝利的冠冕!

    是的，今天主耶穌正如昨天一樣再一次告訴你，與他相近讚美他的，必大大得力!

     親愛的主耶穌, 

     求你感動激勵我們的心去愛你，每天很渴望有多些時間親近你，多些唱歌讚美你，使我們能大大得力得勝，得着你賜我們勝利的冠冕，奉主耶穌基督名求，阿們。

     省察問題

 1. 今日的信息對你有何啓發? 

 2. 你的下一步是什麼行動?

   

   

家庭角落

找機會與家人一起分享今日的領受。

Nicky Gumbel's Bible in one year today:

https://evoturi-zcmp.campaign-view.eu/ua/viewinbrowser?od=3zd157131b6d471dd26510cd1848ef8722&rd=119344be5cfa4b4f&sd=119344be5cf9e233&n=11699e4c2191850&mrd=119344be5cf9e219&m=1

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.   Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)

          Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

      

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 and having Jesus as my Lord. 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 gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 149:1-9, Malachi 1:1-2:17; Revelation 21:1-27; Proverbs 31:10-24)

    Today's main passage:

        Praise the Lord.

        Sing to the Lord a new song,

        his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.

        Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;

    let the people of Zion be glad in their King.

            Let them praise his name with dancing

    and make music to him with timbrel and harp.

      For the Lord takes delight in his people;
    he crowns the humble with victory.

     Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
    and sing for joy on their beds.

        Psalm 149:1-5

    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 to Jesus as you listen to him.    

    My Listening

    The topic I received today from Jesus is: Time with Abba, Singing Praising

    The most important thing I learn in the past almost three years in the midst of this pandemic is that the importance of Singing and Praising and how our Lord Jesus Christ to command me to have videos each day in Cantonese and English to help people to sing and praise God each day to experience His Comfort and strength. Most important, His daily presence!

    Two years ago when our granddaughter Zoe, Michelle and I were playing a Board Game together, the card she got is to answer a question:

    What do you do when you are angry?

    ZOE answered, "When I am angry, I will worship! "

    Wow! What a surprise!

    Because starting when Zoe was born until now, our son Ignatius and his wife Anna have Time with Abba each morning with Zoe and we always can listen to their songs of praise loudly. That's how Zoe learned the best way to solve her uncomfortable feeling or even angry is to sing praises to God!

    All 150 Psalms according to Jewish tradition are songs of praise and for Jews to sing, not to read. May we understand what it means in today's Psalm 149:1-5 that when we use all we have to sing, dance, playing drums, trumpets and everything to praise God, God will be delighted!

    And, according to Psalm 149:4 "Crowns the humble with victory" meaning God will reward us with a crown, a crown of victory. Wow! When we praise God in all circumstances, even in distress and calamity, we will experience victory!

    Do you believe that will happen to you? 

    

    Yes, Jesus is telling you this just as He tells you through Psalm 148: 14,

    those who are close to His heart praising Him and worshipping Him each day will be strengthened! 

    This morning I had the honour to attend late Archbishop Yong's funeral and experienced a glorious singing and praising of more than 400 Christians praising and worshipping God giving thanks to the life of our dearest Archbishop Yong. We were all strengthened in a miraculous way!

    

     Dear Lord Jesus,

   Stir up our hearts to love you more and to be close to your heart more each day to sing praises to you more that we can be strengthened by you and you will give us the crown of victory. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

     

     Reflect on these questions:

     1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

      

      2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus?
