《今日靈修默想》:『只要你們行事為人與基督的福音相稱。』(腓1:27)

默想一:基督徒為什麼要在行事為人上都要與基督的福音相稱?我們既然信了主成了天上的子民,我們的行事為人應有天上的樣式。無論我們在甚麼地方,我們必須堪配作天國的公民。我們的行為要合於福音所宣示的生命能力及其表現。若我們所講的是福音,在生活上卻行不出來,那我們所信的就與福音不相稱了。

默想二今天我們傳福音沒有果效的主要原因是什麼?不是我們傳福音沒有熱心、口才、方法、技巧、組織或策略,而是基督徒生活沒有見證。無孔不入的撒但不怕你讀經禱告,也不怕你一天到晚敬拜讚美,更不怕你熱心宣教。撒但最怕什麼?就是你活出生命的見證!

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮揀選我成為兒女,這是何等尊貴而榮耀的身份。求袮的聖靈時刻充滿我,引導我行在袮的光中,管理我的生活。願我心中所存的意念、口中所說的每一句話、頭腦裡所想的、手中所作的每一件事,在袮的恩膏下成為眾人的祝福。奉主耶穌的聖名祈求,阿們!

 《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.” (Php 1:27)

Meditation one: Why should Christians conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ? Since we have believed in the Lord and become citizens of heaven, we should behave in the manner of heaven. No matter where we are, we must be worthy of being citizens of heaven. Our conduct must be consistent with the strength and deeds of the life proclaimed by the gospel. If we are talking about the gospel but cannot reveal it in daily life, then what we believe is not in a manner worthy of the gospel.

Meditation two: What is the main reason while our evangelism is not effective today? It is not because we do not have enthusiasm, eloquence, ways, skills, organization, or strategy in evangelism, but because our Christian life has no testimony. The pervasive Satan is not afraid of your Bible reading and praying, or worshiping and praising all day long, not to mention your zealous evangelism. What is Satan t most afraid of? It is your testimony of living out the life!

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me to be Your child. What a noble and glorious identity this is. May the Holy Spirit of You fill in me all the time, guide me to walk in your light, and rule my life. May the mind in my heart, words in my mouth, thoughts in my head, and deeds in my hands, are all under Your anointing to become a blessing to others. I pray in the holy name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!
