牧者的话 - 06-07-2009

主内列位同道及朋友们平安:

上主日分享「五」属灵的数字。「五」在「十大真理」课程中是排第五课,提到主祷文的五种事:
1) 神的名字和圣洁
2) 神的国度和旨意
3) 今日的饮食
4) 债务和债务人
5) 试探和凶恶

1)及2)之愿望的动词是命令式的(Imperative),有二个是被动式(Passive),表明信徒当藉着听命与遵行与上帝合作,实现1) 与2)的愿望。

当全地都承认上帝的名并尊荣为圣,尊敬上帝并顺服上帝时,那时上帝的圣洁和荣耀都要完全实现。 我们当求上帝的名早日在地上为人所承认并尊敬。

在何处信徒相信顺服上帝,并让上帝治理一切,在那里,上帝的国已经在人间(路17:21)。上帝的国就是上帝掌权的范围。在地上的国要扩长,直到基督再来时他要建立那永远荣耀的国度(太13:43,25:34,26:29;可9:47,14:25;路13:28~29,21:31,22:16;彼后1:9~11)。

信徒不肯尊他的名,也不肯服在他的权柄之下,上帝的旨意就受阻。要进天国及已在天国中就必须遵行上帝的旨意,因为天国是上帝为那些遵行他旨意的人所预备的。

从本周开始恢复家庭分组聚会,求主让1)及2)之祈求能实现并力求完全,把荣耀归给上帝。

本主日下午六时陈月华长老分享信息,讲题是「思想,静默」,请领人出席。 敬祝

Dear fellow believers and friends,

Peace!

Last Sunday, I shared on the spiritual meaning of “five”. In the book “The Ten Truth” the number 5 is in the fifth chapter of the book which mentioned about 5 issues about the Lord’s Prayers.
1) Holiness in His name
2) His kingdom and His will
3) Today’s needs
4) Debts and our debtors
5) Temptation and the evil one

1) and 2) is in an imperative order and are passive, meaning believers have to comply; fulfilled and operate to achieve 1) and 2) above.

When the world acknowledges and honour His holy name, respect and obedience to God, only then will the holiness and glorious of God be accomplished. Our plea should therefore be that His name be established in this earth till the second coming of the Lord where He will establish is glorious kingdom.

Only when believers are willing to obey and let God control, God’s kingdom is being established in this world (Luke 17:21). God’s kingdom is where His authority encompasses. The work in this world has to expand till the second coming of Christ where He establishes the everlasting glorious kingdom. (Matthew 13:43,25:34,26:29;Mark 9:47,14:25;Luke 13:28~29,21:31,22:16;2 Peter 1:9~11).

Believers who are not willing to honour His name and not willing to submit to His authority, God’s will is being hindered. Wanting to enter into His Kingdom has to comply to His will for the Kingdom of God is for those who observed His law.

From this week we will revive the weekly cell groups. Through prayer may we achieve 1) and 2) and give all glories to Him.

This Sunday, Elder Esther Tan will share on “Thoughts and silence mediation”. Do invite people to attend.

Lets be prayer person.
