3.3.2013: 遵行上帝的心意

Luke 6:1-16

我是否看重教条多过看重人的需要?两者如何取得平衡?

我很看重教条,多过看重人的需要。有时,当我反醒的时候,我真的觉得我很像法利赛人,求主怜悯!例如:团契生活,在这里Putrajaya,只要我没被派到KL外面的医院,我都会出席的。但是,在Sibu时候,我真的不想去团契。总觉得很陌生,因为我几乎十年不在Sibu的了,觉得团契里的人很陌生。我记得去年十二月我去参加了团契,才坐了一下真的很想很想离开。我的朋友(非信徒,她是我小学的朋友)本来是约好了一起去,突然她肚子痛不能去。:( 在Sibu时,我之所以去团契是因为"基督徒一定要去团契"。我记得有一年,我回来时,玛娜姨姨带我去参加一个事工(I do not want to reveal it here)。当然,看到忽然有个新来的17岁的我,其中,有一位长辈问我你有去团契吗?我说没有。。。I don't know why, I was offended by his question or maybe the look that he gave me. But it's ok, it is true that I never been to any fellowship. I remembered, the first time when I went to fellowship is when Lilian Hii, my senior in CUCMS brought me to the fellowship @ her church there. I really enjoyed there, I will attend whenever I came back to Sibu for holidays and every Saturday, I will join their 5a.m. morning prayer. After that, we, the youth will go out and have breakfast together. Only recently, I decided to come back to my mother church youth fellowship. I won't think too much for the time being nor I will ask God why I was sent to Penang at the age of 13, believing that He has His plan, a plan which is the best for me.... The fact that I went to the fellowship when I was in Sibu because it is a must for Christian, the so called 团契生活make me feel like I was bounded to the rules. Unlike when I was in Putrajaya, I learnt a lot of new things through my cell group! Yay!

两者如何取得平衡? I don't know, I will ask someone better and more knowledgeable than me about this.

主耶稣作为上帝的儿子都要祷告,何况我呢?我的祷告生活如何?今年要有怎么样的突破?

当然需要!我时时刻刻,无论我在那里我都会祷告,可能是因为我经历过祷告的大能和明白祷告是什么。甚至有时我开眼睛的祷告,特别是在Ward round的时候。。。今年,我希望能早上五点爬起来祷告!!!求神帮助我,看重灵修和祷告的重要性,胜过一切!

2.3.2013: 更新操练 Learn to Spiritually renewed


Luke 5:33-39

1.我的生命与生活中的“需要”,“重要” 和 “优先次序”是怎样的?

In my daily life, having the quiet time in the morning has become my priority. Initially it is not like that.

When I have times in the morning, I will read the bible and meditate on God's Words. There are also times where I will do other stuff first in the morning. E.g. continue my assignments, read something or prepare my breakfast! I will have my quiet times at night, before I sleep.

However, as time goes by, I started to prioritize my quiet time with God and make it a compulsory thing in the morning, after I get myself ready to go to hospital/college. I even prioritize it over my breakfast. I no longer prepare my breakfast, I will just grab something in hospital/college. Why is it so?

Point 1: Beginning my day with spiritual food

I use Bible in One Year application in my iPad as the guide for my daily devotion. Everyday, I will have to read a small section from Psalms/Proverbs, New Testament and Old Testament. Following that, there is some explanation for the bible verse that I just read. The author of this Apps will extract some points from what I have just read. Hence, when I met any hardship during the day, I will browse back the verse that I have read or the point that I got in that morning. This give me peace and I can act wisely, rather than been very impulsive in response to the hardship. In the smooth and sailing times, I will remember God and praise Him, also, by meditating his Words that I had gone through in the morning. And as times go by, things get better. I started to control myself from being anger towards certain things that occur during the day, and now, I would say that my life had become better than the life I have before this!

Point 2: I don't want to Procrastinate

This is my based on my personal experience, once I stopped reading the bible and meditate for one day, I will persistently stop it, as if I am having a long holidays for reading the bible. It is not good because without God's Words, I could easily fall into the temptation.

Regarding my "needs" and my "desire". Honestly, I was a bit messed up with that. My needs is to study, and my desire will be all sorts of entertainment. And here, I need to learn how to control myself from spending too much times for my desire!!

26.2.2013: 木匠和渔夫

Luke 5:1-11

有何观念或思想成为我认识神的拦阻?

我对我自己没了信心,不知不觉也限制了神能行神迹的力量。就,我常常觉得我这个不行,那个也不行。可能是对我SPM成绩失望的阴影吧。。。把现在的我,不敢做决定,没有自信。可是,我现在时时刻刻会默想神在我生命里所行的奇迹,好让我靠着神给我的力量,能够更有自信的走下去!我一直提醒我自己,为我撑腰的是那胜过世界的神。没有什么事是难得到他的。加油利翩。

最近,在 facebook 里看到一个契友的信心摇动,我非常伤心。本身因为学业都忙不过气了,忽然又看到"他"facebook 里post 的东西,好担心。真的很想放弃联络这位弟兄,可是这不是圣经的教导啊。况且,我有信息过助长,叫她不要放弃,为什么现在我要沮丧呢?加油利翩,我会继续为他祷告,神啊,请你教我该怎么帮,我该怎么帮助他?我相信祢的意念高过我的意念,求祢救这位弟兄,如同五年钱,不管我在这么生气祢,埋怨祢,责怪祢,祢都把我救回来。能认识祢并在生活里经历祢,是我这一生的福气!

25.2.2013: 灵力充沛的生命与事奉

Luke 4::31-44

我是否把我的家族和工作场所看为我传福音的禾场呢?我的行事为人有哪些当改善的地方,好让我能成为家族中和职场上的福音使者呢?

是的,我把我的家族和读书场所看为宣教工厂。可是,论到传福音,我还不知怎么样。所以,我尽量遵行神的真理,学习耶稣的样式,好让其他人能在我身上看到一位基督徒。可是,我还有很多地方要改善的,例如;(1)我的脾气很不好。(2)我这个人没有原则。(3)我这人关心身边的人不够。(4)人家跟我讲话时我很少注意听,结果带来很多麻烦。

关于第二点,感谢主。。。昨天的讲章是谈到基督徒该如何有智慧的做决定!我从中学习到了很宝贵的教导!
