《今日靈修默想》:萬軍之耶和華說:「不是依靠勢力,不是依靠才能,乃是依靠我的靈方能成事。」(撒迦利亞書4:6b)

默想一:基督徒過得勝生活的秘訣是什麼?不是仗著你信主多久,也不是你有特出的恩賜,也不是憑著你豐富的人生經驗,這些都不能為主成就任何屬靈的大事。我們是靠聖靈而生,就得靠聖靈行事(加5:25)。只有謙卑在聖靈的引導之下,讓聖靈充滿並管理的人,才能過得勝的生活。。

默想二:今日教會最大的危機是什麼?不是沒有組織、人才、金錢與資源,也不是沒有方法、策略、技巧,而是沒有能力—對家庭沒有幫助,對社會沒有見證,對世界沒有影響力。這都是與教會不「依靠」聖靈有關。教會是屬靈的國度,只有聖靈充滿的教會,能帶來喜樂、能力和釋放,使弟兄姐妹經歷到上帝的愛。有聖靈工作的教會,會使那「在黑暗中行走的百姓,看見了大光;住在死蔭之地的人,有光照耀他們」(賽9:2)。

禱告:天父上帝,感謝袮賜下聖靈成為我們隨時的幫助與力量。求袮幫助我,因屬靈的事情只有靠祢的靈方能成就。求袮教導我,藉著每日的靈修生活,讓我全然地順從聖靈每時每刻的引導,並照袮的旨意生活。奉耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們!

《Today’s spiritual meditation》:  “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” (Zec 4:6b)

Meditation one: What is the secret of a Christian’s victorious life? It does not depend on how many years you have believed in the Lord, or whether you have special gifts or have rich life experience. All these things cannot accomplish any great spiritual work for the Lord.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit (Gal 5:25). Only those who are humbly guided by the Holy Spirit and filled and ruled by the Holy Spirit can lead toward a victorious life.

Meditation two: What is today’s greatest crisis of a church? It is neither because there is no sound organization, talent, money, or resources, nor because there is no methodology, strategies, or dexterities, but due to there is no power — no help to families, no testimonies to the society, and no influence over the world. This all has to do with the church not “relying on” the Holy Spirit. The church is a spiritual kingdom. Only when a church is filled with the Holy Spirit can bring joy, power, and freedom, so that brothers and sisters can experience God’s love. A church has the workmanship of  the Holy Spirit will make “the people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” (Isa 9:2).

Prayer: God heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the Holy Spirit to be the help and strength in time of need. Please guide me, for spiritual things can only be accomplished by Your Spirit. Teach me, through daily spiritual meditation, to obey the Holy Spirit’s guidance at all times, and live a life according to Your will. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
