1 Peter 2:10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
彼得前书2：10 你们从前算不得子民，现在却作了神的子民；从前为曾蒙怜恤，现在却蒙了怜恤。

Always remember that what we have today is solely because of the finished works of God, it is never by our obedience and achievement but only by what Christ has done for us at the cross. How wonderful it is to know that though once we were separated from God and we were not his people, we were there helpless and living in a slavery life. But because of Jesus, He despised all the shame that he faced, knowing that the greater joy is ahead, He chose to die for all of us, not only that He brought us out and gave us the identity as a child of God! It is because of Jesus, that now you've been transferred to the kingdom of God. You are now the child of God with authority, and not only that you're now in His grace! We did not enjoy grace before but now because of Jesus, we enjoy such amazing grace of Him! In His grace and mercy, we found hope and life! Always remember, in His grace, you have supply and you shall not be in want! :)

永远记得，我们今天拥有的一切是因着基督的完工，从来都不是因着我们的顺从和成就，而是耶稣在十字架上为我们做成了。这是何等的棒，当我们晓得，虽然曾经我们与神隔绝，曾经我们算不得子民，曾经我们那么的无助并过着奴隶般的生活。但因着耶稣，祂因那摆在前面的喜乐，就轻看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦难，选择为我们众人死，祂不但把我们救赎出来，还给了我们神孩子的身份！因着耶稣，现在你已经在神的国度里了。现在你不仅是在祂恩典里，你有孩子的身份且带有权柄！我们从前无法享受神的恩典，但因着耶稣，我们得以享受这奇妙的恩典！在祂恩典和怜悯中，我们拥有盼望的生命！常常记得，在祂恩典中，你有供应，你必不致缺乏!:)

Isaiah 33:6 “He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.”
以赛亚书33:6 ‭‭你一生一世必得安稳,有丰盛的救恩，并智慧和知识，你以敬畏耶和华为至宝。‬‬

A foundation is something that you build upon, and it causes the building unshakable. Likewise, in life, we cannot lay our lives on unsure and shaky foundation, for when storms come and rain falls, a weak foundation cannot sustain our lives! Therefore, Know that Jesus is your sure foundation and you'll end up unshakable! We are to lay our lives on His Word, on His finished work, and let what He has said and done become our definite and sure foundation! In Him, we shall find rich store of salvation, and salvation includes wholeness, health, abundance and rescue! My friend, You're in Christ, and that makes you more than a conqueror!! So stand firm in Christ and nothing can move you! ‬‬

你立定根基的作用是为了要使建筑物不会被动摇。同样，在生命中，我们不能把生命的根基立在那不安稳和摇摇欲坠的根基上，因为当暴风雨来临时，一个不稳固的根基不能支撑我们的人生！因此，知道耶稣是你坚定的根基，你的人生就不会动摇！我们要把生命立定在祂的话语上及祂的完工上，让祂的话成为我们稳定的根基！在祂里面，我们有丰盛的救恩，这救恩包括了完全、健康、丰盛和被救赎的生命！朋友，当你在基督里，你是得胜有余的！所以当你在基督里站立得稳，就没有什么能够来动摇你！

Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’
启示录 7:17 因为宝座中的羔羊必牧养他们，领他们到生命水的泉源。神也必擦去他们一切的眼泪。

A sheep is the shepherd's responsibility, and you can never see a sheep lead it's shepherd alone. Likewise, you are the sheep and Jesus is the shepherd. You're His responsibility and you can never go on your own. But even if you fall into the pit today, even though you walked through the valley of the shadow of death; know that the rod and the staff of Jesus is always ever ready to lift you up and comfort you! Moreover, as it is a shadow of death, a shadow can never harm you! Therefore you can be assured today that there's no issue bigger than Jesus!
So my dear friends, whatever sorrow you have today, know that Jesus has put a full stop to your problems. At the cross, He has put a full stop over your sickness, lack, curses, broken marriage and all! So, Let Him be your shepherd today, and as you follow Him, you'll encounter that He is the best comfort, He is the provider and He is the only source of joy! ‬‬‬‬‬‬

羊群是牧羊人的责任，你不会看到一只落单的羊在闲幌。同样的，你是主耶稣的羊，而祂是你的牧人。你是祂的责任，你不能靠着自己来过你的人生。但今天即使你不小心掉入坑里，即使你不小心走进死荫的阴谷；耶稣的杖和杆随时把你举起并安慰你！此外，即使处在死荫的幽谷，你也不会受伤害！所以你可以放心，没有什么问题是大过耶稣！
我亲爱的朋友，无论今天你的痛苦有多深，你要知道耶稣已经把你的问题画上了句点。在十字架上，祂已经终结了你的病痛，你的缺乏，你的咒诅，你破碎的婚姻和一切不好的！所以，让祂成为你的牧者，当你跟随祂，你会经历到祂是最好的安慰，祂是你的供应及祂是你唯一喜乐的泉源！

Proverbs 4:18 The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
箴言4:18 但义人的路好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。
‭‭
Righteousness cannot be gained by your good works or even your effort. Righteousness is what Christ has purchased and given to those who believe in Him. The moment when you accept Jesus, you are righteous! And this righteousness is unshakable and cannot be removed. You will not lose the righteousness because Jesus has done a perfect sacrifice for all of us! Because of that, we are to enjoy this identity that God has given us, being as a righteousness of God through faith in Christ Jesus, you enjoy a lot of benefits as a righteous! The path of your future is shining even brighter than your yesterday, for this is a gift to those who are in Christ. As a child of God, don't dwell and mourn over yesterday but move forward knowing that the day ahead is better, greater and brighter! For Good things are in store for you!! ‬‬‬‬‬‬

公义不能靠着你的善行或是你的努力获得。公义是基督重价赎回，并给那些相信祂的人。当你接受耶稣的那一刻，你就是公义的人！这义是不能被动摇，且是永永远远的。因着耶稣的一次为你我献祭，你不会失去这份公义！因此，我们要享用神给我们的这一个身份，身为一个义人，藉着在基督里的信，你得以享受义人的所有好处！你未来的道路是越来越明亮的，因为这是在基督里所给你的恩赐。作为上帝的孩子，不要停留在昨日的悲伤里，而是往前走，并知道前面的路是更加美好更加明亮的！因为所有的美物都给了你！

Luke 12:42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time?
路加福音 12:42 主说：“谁是那忠心有见识的管家，主人派他管理家里的人，按时分粮给他们呢？”

Hi friend, are you a faithful servant today? First of all, we are to know that we are servant because all that we have is neither from ourselves nor earn by ourselves, but all that we have are all from God-the Maker of all things. In Him, all things held together, He is the sources of everything. Therefore, the gifting, talent, abilities, prosperity, assets, time, spirit, soul, body, health, wealth and even a mouth of breath are all from God. So with all that God has placed in our life, do we handle them with the will of God? The will of God is for us to live life more abundantly, so do you? His plan is to prosper us and not harm us, do we live out our life that way? Our God gives us authority to build instead of destroy, do we use it correctly? When we are faithful to what He has assigned to us, He will surely bless us and give us more than what we can imagine of.
Remember this, friend, whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? (Luke16:10) So what is the least in the eye of God? Is money, therefore, dare to bless others around you who is in need. We are blessed to be a blessing! If we can trust God in the least-money, only then we can trust God in bigger things such as healing, prosperity, peace, joy, good relationship, and all that He has done at the cross 2017 years ago! So, let's response to the unfailing love of God with all that we can. In Him, we are truly blessed!

嗨朋友，今天你是一位忠心的好管家吗？首先，我们当知道我们之所以是管家因为我们所拥有的一切既不是从我们自己来的，更不是我们所能赚取的，而我们所拥有的一切都是从那一位创造天地万物的主宰而来的。在祂里面，一切都靠祂而立，祂才是所有一切的源头。因此，恩赐、才干、能力、丰盛、资产、时间、灵魂体、健康、富贵、甚至是我们所能吸进的一口气，都是从神而来的。我们既有了神所给与的一切，是否有照着神的旨意来使用它们呢？神的旨意是要我们活得更丰盛，你是这样活着的吗？祂的计划是赐平安的意念而不是降灾祸的意念，我们是否照着如此活着的呢？我们的神给我们权柄是来建立而不是拆毁，我们是否用得正确呢？当我们忠心于神所托付的一切时，祂肯定祝福我们超乎我们所能想象的。
朋友，你当记得，人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不义，在大事上也不义。倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心，谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢? (路加福音16:10-11) 在神的眼中什么才是最小的事呢？是钱财，因此，大胆地祝福身边有需要的人。我们被祝福为成为众人的祝福！倘若我们在最小的事上-钱财上能信靠神，那么我们才能在更大的事上信靠祂，就包括了医治、丰盛、平安、喜乐、好的关系并且耶稣2017年前在十字架上所成就的一切！所以，让我们竭尽所能来回应神那永远不变的大爱吧！在祂里面，我们是何等蒙福啊！

Isaiah 55:11 So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
以赛亚书 55:11 我口所出的话也必如此，决不徒然返回，却要成就我所喜悦的，在我发它去成就的事上必然亨通。

Do you believe the power of God’s word?
In Luke1:37 “For nothing is impossible with God” tells us clearly that God means what He said. Just like what we can see in Genesis Chapter 1, God created the world by His word. (Hebrews11:3) When God said “Let there be light” and there was light. (Genesis1:3) Whatever God said, things happened according to His word. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. (Psalm33:9) So, stop listening to what the world says, do not focus on what the circumstances say, do not entertain what your feeling says, but start to listen to what the Lord says and even start to proclaim the word of God in your life.
His word says “you are rich, you are prosperous”, and therefore you are to live life abundantly as what the word of God proclaimed!
His word says “by His stripes you are healed”, and therefore you are healthy and well in Him!
His word says “restoration is yours”, and therefore whatever brokenness you have in life shall be restored by God’s glory!
His word says “God can multiplies 5 loaves and 2 fishes”, and therefore your life shall be overflows with lots of blessings!
His word says ”God opened red sea through Moses”, and therefore you can open the red sea in life through the tremendous power in you where it seems to be no way!
His word says “Peter walked on the water”, so do you, can walk on top of your problems!
So, grab what the word of God says, believe from heart and act on what the promises of God said! Surely, you are to receive freely and effortlessly from Him!

你相信神话语的能力吗？
在路加福音1:37 “因为出于神的话，没有一句不带能力的”很清楚告诉我们神说话算话。就如同我们能在创世纪1看见, 神藉着祂的话创造了世界 (希伯来书11:3)
当神说“要有光”， 就有光。(创世记1:3) 神说什么，事情就照着祂所说的成就了。祂说有就有，命立就立。(诗篇33:9)
所以，停止听世界所说的，不要专注环境怎么说，别去理会你的感觉怎么样，而开始听神怎么说，并且开始宣告神的话在你的生命中。
祂的话说“你是富足，你是丰盛的”，那么你就是过着如同神的话说那丰盛般的生命！
祂的话说“因祂受鞭伤，你全然得医治”，那么在祂里面你就是健康的！
祂的话说“修复是你的”, 那么不管你所面对怎样的破碎，你都能在神的荣耀里完全被修复了！
祂的话说“神能倍增5饼2 鱼”, 那么在你的生命中肯定是福杯满溢的！
祂的话说“神藉着摩西开红海””, 那么在你生命中同样也能经历神那浩大的能力，如何在看似没有出路的时候开启那红海！
祂的话说“彼得能走在水面上“, 同样的你也能走在你生命中的问题上！
所以，捉住神的话所说的，从心里相信并且按着神的应许来行动！很肯定的，你必从神白白且毫不费力地领受！

Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭26‬ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ‬‬‬‬‬‬
马太福音6:26 你们看那天上的飞鸟，也不种，也不收，也不积蓄在仓里，你们的天父尚且养活它。你们不比飞鸟贵重的多吗？

We can worry and trouble about a whole lot of things but don't you realize that it never solves the issue but instead making you more and more stress?
God never demand you to settle those issues your own, but rather He asked that you'll rely on Him and see what He can do for you. We may be limited by our effort, but through God, all things are unlimited!
So my friend, today know that you're Heavenly Father's responsibility, If He can take care the birds of the air, how much more you? Therefore worry not, for He shall supply all your needs according to His glorious richest!

我們可以为着很多的事情担忧愁烦，但你知道吗？就算你忧虑愁烦，也從來都不能把問題解决，却是讓你越來越壓力？
上帝從来都不要你靠自己的能力来解決問題，祂要你来依靠祂，并晓得祂為你所做的一切。我們可能被自己的能力限制，但藉着上帝，一切都是不被限制的！
所以我的朋友，今天知道你是天父的責任，如果祂能够照顧天空的飞鸟，更何况是你呢？所以不要忧虑，祂必照祂荣耀的丰富，使你们一切所需用的都充足。

2 Timothy 2:1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
提摩太后书2:1 我儿啊，你却要在基督耶稣的恩典上刚强起来。
‭‭
You might be facing great challenges now that make you weak and unbearable. You might be feeling giving up in life, thinking that it is hard for you to move on. But do you know that God is a God of Hope? He is your source of solutions and help? Whatever that seems to be great challenges, His grace is always sufficient enough to sustain you and lead you through!
Dear friends, be strong in the grace that's in Christ Jesus, He called you to be strong not depending on your own, but instead lean on and rely on His grace! His grace is inexhaustible, unending and overflowing; in His Grace, you find unmerited favor, even when your performance isn't good, even if you may be faithless at times, but in His grace, you can be strong! You can still move on, you can lift up your head! You are still more than a conqueror in life! There's nothing about your performance, but solely Jesus' perfect performance! Lean on Him today, and know that life has not come to the end yet, He is your way and hope! ‬‬‬‬‬‬

你現在可能面臨巨大的挑戰，让你觉得難以招架。你可能想过要放棄生命，人生路很難繼續前進。但你知道吗？你的神是充满盼望的神。祂是你的解決方案和幫助的源头。
無論看似多么大的挑戰，祂的恩典夠你用，并帶領你走過！
親愛的朋友，在基督耶穌的恩典上刚强起来，祂不是要你靠自己的力量刚强，而是靠祂的恩典。祂的恩典是取之不尽，用之不竭和满溢的；在祂恩典里，你寻得无尽的恩惠，即使当你表現不好，即使你有時失信了，但在祂的恩典里，你依然得以刚强，生命可以繼續前進！你可以抬起頭来！你得胜有余！这不关乎你的表現，唯有耶穌是最完美的献祭！今天来依靠祂，知道你的人生還沒有走到尽头，祂就是你的道路和盼望！

Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
马太福音6:26 你们看那天上的飞鸟，也不种，也不收，也不积蓄在仓里，你们的天父尚且养活它。你们不比飞鸟贵重的多吗？

Have you ever seen a bird talking to another bird worrying on their next meal? Have you ever seen that a bird was so emotional that it doesn't even want to fly or even sing? God says look at the birds of the air, they do nothing, they have no place to store their food, and yet everyday they find their supply, because the Heavenly Father feeds them! God wants us to be as worry free as the bird, and constantly be in a joyful state, singing our song and knowing that I do not have to worry what shall I eat, what shall I wear, where can this opportunity come from, where to find the right person, because all these things that we need, He knows!
Therefore, if we can know how much more valuable we are than the birds, that Jesus came to die not for the birds, but for you and I, so shouldn't we be much more worry free than the bird? Shouldn't we all the more singing louder than the bird? Because we know we have a good Father that will always supply all our needs more than we ask and imagine! Say it with me today: I am more valuable than a bird, if my Heavenly Father can feed them, I shall find my supply in Him too! I fear nothing, for I have Him!

你見過一隻鳥和另一隻鳥在讨论論它们下一餐的着落吗？你有沒有見過一隻鳥是如此的情绪化到甚至不想飞翔或是歌唱吗？上帝說，看那空中的飞鳥，它们不种也不收，也沒有地方存儲食物，但它们每天都可以有食物吃，因為是天父餵养它们！上帝要我們像飞鳥那樣無憂無慮的活着，在喜乐中歌唱，知道我们不必擔心應該吃什麼，穿什麼，機會從哪裡來，在哪裡可以找到对的人，因為這些我們所需要的一切，祂都晓得！
所以知道我们的生命是比飞鳥更贵重，耶穌不是為了鳥而死，而是為了你和我，所以我們岂不是應該比鳥儿更无需担心对吗？難道我們不應該比鸟儿更要大聲歌唱嗎？我們有一位好父親，祂供应我們所需要的一切是超乎我们所求所想的！今天和我这样说：我比飞鸟更贵重，如果我的天父尚且餵養它们，我也會在祂裡面得着供應！我不会害怕，因為我有祂！
