《今日靈修默想》:耶穌(對被群鬼所附而得釋放的)說:「你回家去,到你的親屬那裏,將主為你所做的是何等大的事,是怎樣憐憫你,都告訴他們。」(可 5:19 )

默想一:當你嚐到信主的救恩之樂時,你想過要跟自己的家人分享嗎?跟家人傳福音有時真的很難,但你可藉著平時的生活,讓他們在你身上看到基督。家人的靈魂得救,要把握時機。領他們信主是愛主最真實的回應,也是愛家人最具體行動。

默想二:向親屬傳福音最大的障礙是什麼?自己沒有好的見證!見證不是講自己多棒,也不是讓他們羨慕你作基督徒的偉大及成功,而是見證自耶穌來住在你心的改變。你的「身教」比「傳教」重要。家人信靠主不是靠你的口才、學識、能力,而是你平日的關心及代禱。

禱告:感謝神,因我蒙恩都是藉著袮的恩才成的。讓基督成為一家之主是不容易的,但我相信在祢沒有難成的事。求祢光照我,讓我的言行舉止、心中所存的意念、口中所說的每一句話都在聖靈的恩膏下蒙袮賜福。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》: Jesus said (to the man who had been possessed then released), “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” (Mat 5:19)

Meditation one: When you are joyfully experiencing the salvation by believing in the Lord, have you ever desired to share it with your family? Sometimes preaching the gospel to your family is not easy, but you can let them see Christ in you through your daily life. Seize every opportunity to save the souls of your family. Leading them to believe in the Lord is the most truthful response of loving the Lord and the most genuine action of loving your family.

Meditation two: What is the major obstacle when preaching the gospel to relatives? It is that there is no good testimony! Testimony is not about how good you are, nor is it to make them envy your eminence and success as a Christian, but to witness the changes that have been made since Jesus lives in your heart. Your “teaching by example” is more important than your “explaining in words”. The trust of your family in the Lord is not depending on your eloquence, knowledge, ability, but your daily thoughtfulness and prayer. Prayer: Thank You God, for I am blessed through Your grace. It is not easy to make Christ the head of a family, but I believe that nothing is too hard for You. Please shine on me, and let my words and deeds, the thoughts in my mind and every word in my mouth be blessed through the anointing from the the Holy Spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
