神的話滿有能力, 比蜜更甜

Habakkuk means “Hugging”

Habakkuk: 3:17-19

17: Though the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls,

18: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Saviour.

19: The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights.

Brothers and Sisters,

I am really inspired by God with this scripture. Even it seems that our life now is filled with hassles and problems. Our finance doesn’t seem going well. We need to rejoice, rejoice in God our Saviour. How about if Satan has taken all our sheep and cattle away from our territory? How about if Satan has taken the souls of the people who are around us? Do we still rejoice?? Yes, we do rejoice. We do rejoice. Take Paul as an example, no matter what the circumstance is, he learnt to rejoice in God. God recently has reminded me one thing that, even a junior Christian can also tell, as simple as that: He say: “I am God”. “You still have to know that I am God”

Brothers and sisters, let’s seek him, try our best to seek him, when there seem to be no ways. God will show you a simple philosophy --- I AM GOD!

Praise God,

May my heart be connected to your heart in Christ,

May God hold you tight and May you let God do so, Amen

Hi, Brothers and sisters, I would like to put my goals here for this year ( 20May2002-20May2003). Could you please remember me in your prayer? I need more power for this. You can just pray for it once.

Academic aspect:

1. Keep the study "on" frequently, never leave it till exam.

2. GPA-6s

Spiritual Life:

1. Ministry in Hope of God (My Church in Australia): Recognize what part I should serve God on and implement it. (Probably Keyboard in Worship)

2. Being a more mature Christian in front of others.

3. Go prayer meeting more & try to fast meals for prayer

4. Sleep earlier on Saturday nights

5. Free worship (More Breakthrough), to broaden my comfort  zone, to dance more....

6. Asking for even better relationship with God (Pray anytime, Pray anywhere)

7.One Chapter of Bible per day (start on 21May,2002)

弟兄姊妹,

你們好嗎?

我不斷在基督裹得著成長, 在這兒繼續更新. 經歷好多的事, 好多的恩典. 我一個月前轉了教會, 得了主平安的印證, 得以在這間教會得到更多的教導,成長及更適合我的團契. 好感謝主, 使我在大學的功課上, 雖然不是太好, 但都可以應付. 其實大學的功課都幾難. HAHA! 今天是母親節, 我今天在教會及靈修的時間都有為著家人禱告. 今天打了電話給媽媽, 得知哥哥多了跟爸媽說話, 他們正在準備在家外, 開一個香港的食物擋, 由哥哥定菜單, 暫定14或15號開始營業. 請大家記念我們.

另外, 我正在找工作, 已有準備, 成事還要看主了, 因為我的功課也是一個壓力. 我相信我要好需要智慧去分配時間! 我今年將有機會在這間教會, 浸禮加入教會, 已經決定, 但長細及時間還要肯定. 今天是我第一次在澳洲帶敬拜, 雖然只是一首歌, 但對我來說是一個鼓勵, 一個開始. 希望大家記念我及我的家庭. 澤安永遠在我心裹! : )

Cheers,

Raymond仔

Hey, guys, I have been searching my Christian way in my life in Australia, to be more devoted and more involved in Church! And for such reason, I have changed my church. I moved to one which got most of its population Singaporean. It is a church mainly having campus ministry. I have also been praying to God about if I really should go to this church. And, the answer was "yes". How did I know the answer? Did God speak to me as a physical voice? No, he didn't. I did it because, I lift this issue up to him and I have peace inside me. I really want to serve him! To equip myself in a church which is more suitable for me! Thanks God that he guided me thru all the difficulties in my life, and lately my studies, my assignments and Exams! I didn't do really really well for  both on my assignments and Exams actually. I just got passes for most of them! I am going to be even harder in the future both for God's work and my studies! As everyone of yours know I am studying Nursing and I am experiencing the learning process of becoming a professional! It is such a funny course! I like it so much! I love it. I never forget you guys! Yous are always my friends! You are always in my prayer!

Some day in March

親愛的弟兄姊妹:

歌林多前書- 1 Corinthians

第9章- Chapter 9 (24-27)

24: 豈不知在場上賽跑的都跑、但得獎賞的只有一人．你們也當這樣跑、好叫你們得著獎賞。

25: 凡較力爭勝的、諸事都有節制．他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕．我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。

26: 所以我奔跑、不像無定向的．我鬥拳、不像打空氣的。

27: 我是攻克己身、叫身服我．恐怕我傳福音給別人、自己反被棄絕了。

靈命日糧的其中一個作者(Sper)這樣說: 人生就像賽跑, 有決心者才能抵達目標, 奧運金牌是不會頒給那些偶爾在跑道上邊喘著氣, 邊運動的肥胖生意人. 我記得我已前經常去參加田徑比賽, 因為我高, 我的腿生得長, 所以老師一定揀我去參加比賽. 而每一次的賽跑我都好俾心機去跑, 希望可以勝利, 但係每次都輸. 其後, 我每次的比賽都不付那大的祈望了, 沒有目標, 什會勝利呢?

An author of the “OUR DAILY BREAD”, called Sper, says, “Life is like a race, only the people who has made up their mind to finish the race can do. The Gold will never be awarded to a fat businessman who pants and exercises in the same time.”

As I remember, simply because I was tall, I was usually asked by my teachers to join the track and field competitions when I was in primary school and high school. And each time for me to play the games, I always wanted to win. As I didn’t win for several times, I didn’t have any hope or target to win the games anymore even I was still willing to join them. But, if there are no targets, how can I do it?

弟兄姊妹, 不要停頓, 不要閒懶. 要多靈修, 多禱告! 與神的關係好了, 就要馬上為天父作工啦!! 不知道在這一刻, 你是一個肥胖生意人還是一個很努力的向著標竿直跑, , 為要得那不能壞的冠冕的人呢?

Brothers and Sisters, Don’t stop, Don’t be lazy, more spiritual time, more prayer. Build up a good relationship with God, and do the work soon. I wonder you are the fat businessman or the person who is aiming to the target and getting the crown which will last forever.

親愛的弟兄姊妹:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

感謝主, 主在我回到澳洲後, 都一直在“修剪”我, 叫我有經歷, 有教導。

Thanks God, God did many things on me, for this time, I had experiences, and teaching from God.

在這個星期, 主讓我思想到關於以色列人進入應許之地的事。 今星期日, 教會來了一個來自墨爾本的牧師叫阿隆(ALUN) 。 他分享了以色列人沒有選擇進入應許之地, 卻選擇進了曠野的事。 (其實, 我時時都覺得以色列人的行為簡直是不合理的忘恩負義, 忘了是誰領他們出為奴之地的神, 他們竟可拜偶像, 我就一定不會這樣做。) 但是, 我又再反思, 如果將自己代入, 其實, 我們基督徒有很多時候, 都沒有選擇進入應許之地, 卻有著“想到曠野的心” 。 我相信不只是我有這樣的掙扎, 我相信有很多基督徙都有想過: “我到底選擇罪好, 還是選擇神好呢?” 好多人想到曠野去…

For this week, God’s let me think about the entering of promise land of the Israelites. This Sunday, there was a pastor from Melbourne came to my church, called Alun. He told that the Israelites didn’t choose the land of promise, but the wilderness. (Actually, I usually find that the Israelites always did something doesn’t quite make sense. They could just forget who is the one to bring them out of Egypt.) However, for me to think about it again, I put myself into the situation. We, as a Christian, didn’t choose the land of promise sometimes. But we have the heart of wilderness. And I believe that not only me have ever struggled over this. I bet that there are so many Christians who ever think of “Should I choose to “Sin” or to follow God?” There are so many people like to go to the wilderness.

講員又提到, 沒有人說進入那應許地是沒有難關的, 但試想, 如果你就是當時的以色列人, 你想主會否時刻帶領著你, 為你解決問題, 最後到祂的應許地呢?

The pastor also said, “No one said that there are no any difficulties to enter the land of promise”. But, brothers and sisters, think about it, if you are the Israelites, wouldn’t God just guide you thru all the things, solve all the problems for you, and finally get you to the land of promise?

在馬太福音6:19-21中, 父又再次提醒我千萬不要只掛念地上的事。 其實, 我們只是人生的過客, 千萬不可為了曠野而放棄 “耶和華你們神賜你們為業之地” 。

其實我自己對舊約不太熟悉, 只是想將好的道跟大家分享. 希望主繼續賜我更多恩典, 叫我能可以讀完聖經。

In Matthew 6:19-21, our father again remind me not to love the things in the Earth. Actually, we are just like a tourist in the Earth. So, brothers and sisters, please don’t choose the wilderness over the land of promise, which The Lord your father granted to you.

主內互勉

Cheers,
