重點: 注視君王 (耶穌基督)
我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌 (或譯：仰望那將真道創始成終的耶穌)。他因那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，便坐在神寶座的右邊。 那忍受罪人這樣頂撞的，你們要思想，免得疲倦灰心。(來 12：1-3)
所以，你們因信基督耶穌都是 神的兒子。你們受洗歸入基督的都是披戴基督了。(加 3：26-27)
在周圍環境，所遇到的事物，我都不能明白，為何會在我身上發生；無論怎樣，你的眼目專注在基督身上，祂必護佑你到底。
代禱重點：
1. 求神將祂純正的福音在加拿大展開，使每人都能曉得我們的君王是萬君之耶和華。
2. 求神在加拿大建立祂的國度，使每個居住在此處的人都歸向我們獨一的君王，萬主之主。
3. 求神在加拿大興起更多祂的兒女，多關心在所居住的地方，勤為主傳揚福音，等到見那位榮耀的君王時不至於羞愧。
4. 求主幫助我們作好見證，讓祢在我們身上顯明祢是萬世的君王，把我們的指望專注於祢。
Fix Our Eyes Upon the Lord
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Galatians 3: 26-27)
We cannot understand why certain things happen to us or around us. Nevertheless, when you fix your eyes upon Jesus, He will protect you till the end.
Key Prayer Items:
1. Ask God to allow the pure gospel to be spread in Canada, so that people will know that our King is LORD.
2. Ask God to establish His kingdom in Canada, so that all who live here will turn to the one and only King, our Lord of Lords.
3. Ask God to raise up his children in Canada, so that they will earnestly spread the gospel wherever they may reside. When they meet the glorious King, they will not be ashamed.
4.Ask God to help us to be good witnesses, so that we may reflect that You are the King of all ages. May we fix our hope upon You.

重點: 人人需要耶穌
耶稣說：「我就是道路、真理、生命；若不藉着我，没有人能到父那裏去。」(約14：6)
耶穌從那裡往前走，看見一個人名叫馬太，坐在稅關上，就對他說：「你跟從我來。」他就起來跟從了耶穌。耶穌在屋裡坐席的時候，有好些稅吏和罪人來，與耶穌和他的門徒一同坐席。法利賽人看見，就對耶穌的門徒說：「你們的先生為甚麼和稅吏並罪人一同吃飯呢？」耶穌聽見，就說：「康健的人用不著醫生，有病的人才用得著。經上說：『我喜愛憐恤，不喜愛祭祀。』這句話的意思，你們且去揣摩。我來本不是召義人，乃是召罪人。」 (太 9：9-13)
神學家奧古斯丁說：「每一個人的心中都有空位，唯有找到上帝才得以滿足。」物質的享受固然可以使人得到快樂，但擁有耶穌基督的生命更能使人活得豐盛、 幸福和美滿。 不管你已經受洗接受耶穌為救主有多長的時間，我們都再次謙卑來到上帝面前說：「我需要耶穌。」
代禱重點：
1. 主耶穌，我們知道除了祢以外並無別的拯救。主耶穌，有很多在福音以外的人是 蒙蔽，不肯接受祢，他們自以為靠自己得救；主耶穌，求祢開他們屬靈的眼睛，使他們看見自己需要祢，除祢以外沒有別的可以尋得到永生。
2. 感謝主 ! 教會在宣教事工工場有負擔，求主繼續使用祢的僕人和使女，使每個人 都參與。神與他們同在，將神的事工展開。
Keypoint: People Need the Lord
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 )
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and ‘sinners’?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:9-13 )
Augustine wrote, “There is empty space in everyone’s heart that only God can fill.” Although worldly pleasures can make people happy, only life in Jesus Christ can make people’s lives abundant, blessed and fulfilled. No matter how long you have accepted Jesus as your savior, we still need to come humbly before God to say that we need Jesus.
Key Prayer Items:
1. Lord Jesus, we know that salvation is found in no one else. Many outside the gospel are unaware of You, unwilling to accept You. They try to save themselves. Lord Jesus, open their eyes spiritually, so that they may see that they need You because salvation is found in no one else.
2. Praise God! The church has a burden on mission fields. We pray that God will continue to use His servants, that all may participate. Be with them to broaden Your work.

「我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺在我們前頭的路程。」 (來12：1)
「向著標竿直跑，要得 神在基督耶穌裡從上面召我來得的獎賞。」 (腓 3：14)
面對生命所帶來的挑戰和外來的引誘，要走完神所定的人生路程是不容易的，最重要是明瞭我們的諸般軟弱，讓我們能「放下各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的 罪。」，專注仰望主耶穌，朝著標竿忍耐直跑。(7月3日 天賜糧源 II)
代禱重點：
1. 求主使我們認識自己的身份。我們是屬神的兒女，曉得分別為聖，作主的門徒同奔向一個目標，就是神的國。
2. 求主教導我們不要與世界為伍，定意以討神喜悅為目標。
3. 我主，我神，我要尊崇祢，敬畏祢；求祢保守我有謹守的心，渴慕祢的話，專心尋求祢，向著目標努力。
4. 求聖靈潔淨我們內心的雜念，晝夜思想祢的話語，使我們能在祢面前得蒙悅納。指教我們如何忘記背後，努力面前，向著標竿直跑。
Keypoint: Going For The Goal
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” (Hebrews 12:1)
“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)
It is not easy to finish God’s designed life journey for us while we need to face all kinds of life challenges and outward temptations. The most important is to understand all kinds of weakness. Let us “lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily diverts us.” Keep going for the goal by focusing on Jesus only. (3rd July Our Daily Bread II)
Key Prayer Items:
1. May the Lord help us to know our identity in Christ. We are children of God, to be sanctified to be His disciples for reaching one goal which is God’s kingdom.
2. May the Lord teach us not to partnership with the world but set our mind to please God as our goal.
3. My Lord, my God, I have the desire to respect You and fear You; may You protect our heart so that we long for Your words, seek You with whole heartedness to reach the goal earnestly.
4. May Your Spirit cleanse our inner being so that we can meditate on Your words day and night and live our lives pleasing You. May You teach us how to live a life of forgetting our past, pursuing ahead to run for the goal.

重點: 多方禱告
「況且我們的軟弱有聖靈幫助，我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是聖靈親自用說不出來的歎息替我們禱告。」 (羅8：26)
「我要晚上、早晨、晌午哀聲悲歎；祂也必聽我的聲音。」(詩55：17)
「靠著聖靈，隨時多方禱告祈求；並要在此儆醒不倦，為眾聖徒祈求。」(弗 6：18)
當我們發覺難以祈禱時，更要努力迫切地禱告。神知道我們的軟弱，祂能藉聖靈幫助我們有效地禱告，使我們從沒有願意的心改變成為愛禱告的人，以基督的心為心來看事情。 (1月27日 天賜糧源II )
代禱重點：
1. 求神激勵弟兄姊妹曉得在任何事上禱告，事情便能解決 ：
→ 教會前面方向非人所能預測；但藉著會衆同心多方禱告，神必定帶領。
→ 教會事工非我們所能承擔；但藉著弟兄姊妹同心多方禱告，神必與我們同在，使永生神的家得以建立。
→ 肢體相處問題非我們所能了解；但藉著會衆同心多方禱告，神的愛就在其中，把互相埋怨變為互相接納。
→ 肢體在團契、小組投入及參予非我們所能控制；但藉著會衆同心多方禱告，使之團結，同享主內團契生活。
這些都是藉著神的工作及憐愛才能做得到。主啊，願祢的名被高舉！我們得藏在祢的蔭庇下是何等的幸福 。
2. 求神在我們教會中間感動肢體放下自己的執著及成見；藉著禱告得勝自我，能彼此包容、寬恕、相愛、勸勉和幫助，成為真的基督徒，神家的肢體。

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.” (Romans 8:26)
“Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice. (Psalms 55:17)
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:18)
Pray hard when you find it hard to pray. God knows our weakness. Through the Holy Spirit, He helps us to have effective prayers by changing us to become men/women of prayer so that we can see things through His heart. (27th January Our Daily Bread II)
Key Prayer Items:
1. Ask God to stir our brothers and sisters to know to pray whatever, believing that God can solve our problems:
→ Although our church faces a lot of uncertainties; through brothers and sisters united together to pray on all occasions, God will lead us.
→ To carry out the church ministries well is not easy; with brothers and sisters
united together to pray on all occasions, God will be with us, and a family of the living God will be established.
→ To deal with relationship is not an easy task; through our prayer together on all occasions, God’s love is in our midst to change our complaints to acceptance.
→ To have commitment in fellowship and cell group is out of our control; through
praying together on all occasions, we can be united and enjoy the moment of
fellowship.
Only through God’s work and His mercy, we can fulfill the above requests. Lord,
may your name be exalted! We are so blessed to be secured under your protection.
2. May God move our brothers and sisters to let go of their insistence and prejudice; through prayer, we can overcome our own self, we can be patient with one another, forgive one another, love one another, exhort one another and help one another so that we are true Christians and body of Christ.

重點: 帶著期望來禱告
「我們若將起初確實的信心堅持到底，就在基督裡有分了。」(來3：14)
「人非有信，就不能得 神的喜悅；因為到 神面前來的人必須信有神，且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。」 (希11：6)
按神的旨意求告，懷著期望來祈禱，就看見祂在我們的生命中動工，令祂旨意實現不落空。 祈禱而不期望有成，等於不信，卻假裝相信。 (12月26日 天賜糧源II )
代禱重點：
感謝主拯救了我們，願神的恩不斷的恩待我們的兒女、子孫。願我們的禱告是帶著期望，就如亞伯拉罕深信神的應許。又如聖經記著說：「當信主耶穌，你和你一家都必得救。」 (徒16：31)
1. 主啊，但願我們世世代代的兒孫都是屬主的人，為主而活，為主所用。
2. 教會是永生神的家，是我們共同得屬靈造就的地方。求神復興教會, 又讓教會找出不能成長、停滯的原因，使我們同心認罪悔改，成為聖潔。求聖靈再次如火挑旺我們的靈命，教會便能成長。

“We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.” (Hebrews 3:14)
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
When with expectancy we pray according to God’s will, we’ll see Him working in our lives His purpose to fulfill. Prayer without expectancy may be unbelief in disguise.
(26th December Our Daily Bread II)
Key Prayer Items:
Thank God for saving us, may His grace continuously flow through our children and their generations. May our prayers be full of expectancy just like how Abraham truly believed in God’s promises. As the Bible recorded, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved - you and your household."
1. Lord, may our descendents all belong to You, live for You and be used by You.
2. Church is a home of the living God and is a place where we are nurtured spiritually. May God revive our Church. May He help our Church to find out the reasons of not growing and becoming static so that we can confess, repent and pursue holiness together. May the Holy Spirit rekindle our spiritual life; so our Church will grow.
「我們若將起初確實的信心堅持到底，就在基督裡有分了。」(來3：14)
「人非有信，就不能得 神的喜悅；因為到 神面前來的人必須信有神，且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。」 (希11：6)
按神的旨意求告，懷著期望來祈禱，就看見祂在我們的生命中動工，令祂旨意實現不落空。 祈禱而不期望有成，等於不信，卻假裝相信。 (12月26日 天賜糧源II )
代禱重點：
感謝主拯救了我們，願神的恩不斷的恩待我們的兒女、子孫。願我們的禱告是帶著期望，就如亞伯拉罕深信神的應許。又如聖經記著說：「當信主耶穌，你和你一家都必得救。」 (徒16：31)
1. 主啊，但願我們世世代代的兒孫都是屬主的人，為主而活，為主所用。
2. 教會是永生神的家，是我們共同得屬靈造就的地方。求神復興教會, 又讓教會找出不能成長、停滯的原因，使我們同心認罪悔改，成為聖潔。求聖靈再次如火挑旺我們的靈命，教會便能成長。

Prayer's Wall (October 24, 2007 - October 30, 2007)
重點: 言與行
「惟獨從上頭來的智慧，…沒有假冒。」 (雅3：17)
「因為耶和華是你所倚靠的；祂必保守你的腳不陷入網羅。你手若有行善的力量，不可推辭，就當向那應得的人施行。你那裡若有現成的，不可對鄰舍說：去吧，明天再來，我必給你。你的鄰舍既在你附近安居，你不可設計害他。」 (箴 3：26-29)
當人的行為與言語常常一致，信息也就響亮清晰。 (9月14日 天賜糧源I)

Keypoints: Words and Action
“But the wisdom that comes from above is…………….sincere.” (James 3:17)
“For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow” when you now have it with you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.” ( Proverbs 3:26-29)
When mans deeds are always consistent with his words, the message became loud and clear.
Key Prayer Items:
1. O Lord! Our Father, We are willing to serve you for your sake.
- May the Lord cleanse us so that we may be holy, fit for His use.

Prayer's Wall (October 17, 2007 - October 23, 2007)
重點: 做光做鹽 (10月17日至10月23日)
「若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺哄自己的心，這人的虔誠是虛的。在神我們的父前，那清潔沒有玷污的虔誠，就是看顧在患難中的孤兒寡婦，並且保守自己 不沾染世俗。」 (雅 1：26-27)
「你們是世上的鹽。鹽若失了味，怎能叫它再鹹呢？以後無用，不過丟在外面，被人踐踏了。你們是世上的光。城造在山上 是不能隱藏的。人點燈，不放在斗底下，是放在燈臺上，就照亮一家的人。你們的光也當這樣照在人前，叫他們看見你們的好行為，便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。」 (太 5：13-16)
當我們各人在周圍的罪惡環境中，作鹽和光，就必能對環境施加強而有力的積極影響。鹽可以延遲腐敗又使食物有滋味。光可以驅除黑暗，供人照明。當基督徒可以調味又帶來光明之時，就能為他們所生活的社會造福，又能保持社會免於敗壞。 (8月9日天賜糧源I)
代禱重點：
1. 主啊 ! 人若不聖潔就不能得神的喜悅 。
- 求祢幫助我們成為世上的光，世上的鹽，得祢喜悅。
- 求祢在我們生命裡不斷地引導，使我們成為祢所喜悅的人。在未信主的家人、朋友、親戚、伙伴及同事面前，做光做鹽。
2. 求主興起教會的肢體，有負擔作守望的禱告。
- 求主興起教牧同工、執事、有負擔作守望的禱告。
- 求主興起長者，有負擔作守望的禱告。
- 求主興起弟兄姊妹，使我們在軟弱時靠着禱告可以得勝。3. 求主教導我們謹慎我們的行為態度，因這是可以使人興起，否則便會使人跌倒。
Keypoints: To Be Salt and Light Of The World
“If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” ( James 1:26-27)
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can itbe made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrownout and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praiseyour Father in heaven.” ( Matthew 5:13-16)
When we are salt and light in a sinful environment, we can have a strong and positive impact on those surrounding us. Salt delays decay and makes food tasty. Light can drive away darkness and enlighten people. (August 9 Our Daily Bread I)
Key Prayer Items:
1. O Lord! No one can please God unless they are holy.
- Help us to be the light of the world and salt of the earth and be pleasing to you.
- Lead us in our lives all the time. Make us people that are pleasing to you. May we be salt and light before our unconverted family members, friends, relatives, partners and colleagues.
2. Ask the Lord to raise up members in the church with the burden to watch and pray.
- Ask the Lord to raise up pastors and deacons with the burden to watch and pray.
- Ask the Lord to raise up seniors with the burden to watch and pray.
- Ask the Lord to raise up brothers and sisters so that we can overcome our weakness through prayer.

practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came
down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house,
yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
( Matthew 7:24-25)
God gave us His word so that we can obey. With obedience we can experience his faithfulness and his guidance. Obeying God’s word will let you personally experience that His way is higher and better than our way.

Prayer's Wall (October 3, 2007 - October 9, 2007)
重點: 重整生命 (10月3日至10月9日)
「我為主被囚的勸你們：既然蒙召，行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。」 (弗 4：1)
「如果你們聽過祂的道，領了祂的教，學了祂的真理，就要脫去你們從前行為上的舊人，這舊人是因私慾的迷惑漸漸變壞的；又要將你們的心志改換一新，並且穿上新人；這新人是照著 神的形像造的，有真理的仁義和聖潔。」 (弗4：21-24)
你害怕破碎的健康、期望和承諾令你失去用處嗎？不要懼怕！雖然某些事物破碎後會失去用處，但擘開的麵包和破碎的生命是有用的。
假若你把生命呈獻給神，祂不會浪費你所經歷的任何一個小片段。在神手中，破碎的都會變為有用。 (3月22日 天賜糧源II)
代禱重點：
1. 為本教會教牧、傳道人、執事的靈命禱告 :
- 求主挑旺和復興各人的靈命。

Keypoints: Reforming Our Lives
“As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” ( Eph 4:1)
“Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” ( Eph 4:21-24)
Are you afraid that broken health, expectations and promises may make you useless? Do not be afraid. Some things lost their function when they are broken. However, broken bread and broken lives are useful. If you offer your life to God, He is not going to waste any part of it. In God’s hands, broken lives can become useful.
(March 22 Our Daily Bread II)

當懼怕衪
「 所以，不要怕他們；因為掩蓋的事沒有不露出來的，隱藏的事沒有不被人知道的。我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要明處說出來。你們耳中所聽的，要在房上宣掦出來。那殺身體、不能殺靈魂的，不要怕他們；惟有能把身體和靈魂都滅在地獄裏的，正要怕他。」(太10：26-28)
「但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖。以他為你們所當怕的，所當畏懼的。」(賽8：13)
正確的畏懼能令我們不致犯錯。 (6月11日 天賜糧源I)

In Awe Of God
“So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:26-28)
“The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread,” (Isaiah 8:13)

「 所以，不要怕他們；因為掩蓋的事沒有不露出來的，隱藏的事沒有不被人知道的。我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要明處說出來。你們耳中所聽的，要在房上宣掦出來。那殺身體、不能殺靈魂的，不要怕他們；惟有能把身體和靈魂都滅在地獄裏的，正要怕他。」(太10：26-28)
「但要尊萬軍之耶和華為聖。以他為你們所當怕的，所當畏懼的。」(賽8：13)

父在暗中察看
「他顯明深奧隱秘的事，知道暗中所有的，光明也與他同居。」(但2：22)
「要叫你施捨的事行在暗中。你父在暗中察看，必然報答你。」(太6：4)
「所以，時候未到，甚麼都不要論斷，只等主來，祂要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念。那時，各人要從 神那裡得著稱讚。」(林前4：5)
每一天的生活，每一天的行為，都完全顯明在主的面前，多少的付出，心中有什麼意念，父必天天在暗中察看。不要只在眼前事奉，討人的喜悅，總要凡事為榮耀神，作個忠心跟從主腳蹤的人，暗中察看的父到了時候必報答我們。
代禱重點：
1. 求神挑旺我們事奉的心志，彼此勉勵，因為我們是為主而作，父必暗中察看。
2. 我們拿甚麼報答主恩，願我們同心參與神家的事工，使主得著榮耀。
3. 雖然我們所作的可能不會被別人認同。但主啊！求祢賜給我們一顆正直及謙卑的心 , 主必在暗中察看。
4. 求神賜恩給教會牧者、執事、參與教會事工的肢體都有從神而來的印證、有力量作主所託負他們的事工
Key Point: God Father Is Watching
“He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him.” (Daniel 2:22)
“So that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” (Matthew 6:4)
“Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.” (1 Corinthians 4:5)
How we act and live everyday will all be revealed before our Lord. God Father is examining all our motivation and how much we have given. Do not only serve in public for the compliment from other people but to glorify God’s name. To be a loyal follower of the Lord, and God Father will reward after his watch on us.
Key Prayer Items:
1. Ask God to ignite our passion for ministry, to encourage each other, as God Father is watching in secret the service we are doing for him.
2. What can we repay God for his grace! May we all participate in the ministries of the church with a united heart and to glorify the Lord.
3. Whatever we do may not necessarily be concurred by others. But Lord! Give us a righteous and humble heart and the Lord is watching in secret.
4. Ask God to be gracious to the pastors, leaders and all whom participate in the ministries of the church so that they all have the validation from God and to fulfill mightily the work entrusted to them by the Lord.

神知道我們做不到十全十美，但卻期望我們內心態度正確，只要我們存著悔改和謙卑
認罪的心，我們仍能討神的喜悅。

as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus
to do this more and more.” (1 Thessalonians 4:1)
God knows that we are not perfect but he still wants us to have the right attitude. As long as we have a humble and contrite heart, we would have pleased him already.

1. Dear Lord Jesus! We are weak, but the power of your love has given us endless hope, we pray that we would not be fruitless after we have received your grace.

重點: 力量何來？
「你們當順著聖靈而行，就不放縱肉體的情慾了。因為情慾和聖靈

Keypoint: Where Does Our Strength Come From?
“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Gal. 5:16-18)

重點: 控制肉體的渴求
「不叫我們遇見試探；救我們脫離兇惡。〔或作脫離惡者〕因為國度、
權柄、榮 耀，全是你的，直到永遠。阿們！」 (太6：13)
「 祂自己既然被試探而受苦，就能搭救被試探的人。」 (來2：18)
「 體貼肉體的，就是死；體貼聖靈的，乃是生命、平安。原來體貼肉體的，
就是與 神為仇；因為不服 神的律法，也是不能服。」 (羅8：6-7)
代禱重點：
1. 求神賜姊妹／弟兄勇敢的心，將福音傳給未信主的男朋友∕女朋友，並使他們能靠著主有美好的見證。
2. 求神保守姊妹／弟兄能謹守自己的心，為祢名、為自己的原故；在戀愛發展期能控制肉體的渴求，使將來的家庭可以誇勝。
3. 主啊！聖經說：「信與不信的原不相配」，求聖靈感動主內肢體明白與未信者談戀愛，神是不會喜悅的。求聖靈憐憫在戀愛中的肢體認真的面對此事。求神感動未信的(丈夫∕妻子)家人接受主，認識我們獨一的真神。我們能靠著主基督，當與家人意見有分歧時，也能控制肉體的情緒，使我們能有和諧的家庭。
Key Point: Control The Urges Of The Flesh
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (or the evil one). For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever, amen.” ( Matt. 6:13)
“Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” ( Heb. 2:18)
“the mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.” ( Rom. 8:6-7)
Key Prayer Items:
1. May God give brothers and sisters courageous hearts to evangelize their non-believing girlfriends and boyfriends, that their witness will be beautiful when they rely upon God.
2. May God protect the hearts of brothers and sisters, that they will hold steadfast in controlling the desires of the flesh in romance. For your name’s sake and their own sake, so that their future family will boast victorious.
3. O Lord, the Bible says, “Believers and non-believers cannot bear the same yoke.” May the Holy Spirit allow believers to understand that God is displeased when believers and non-believers are involved in romance. May the Holy Spirit have mercy on the believers to be serious about this.
4. May God move the non-believing spouses and family members to know the true God. By the grace of Jesus Christ, when there is dispute with family members, believers can still control their emotions, to achieve a harmonious family life.

「所以，時候未到，甚麼都不要論斷，只等主來，他要照出暗中的隱情，顯明人心的意念。那時，各人要從 神那裡得著稱讚。」 (林前 4:5)
「人在那根基上所建造的工程若存得住，他就要得賞賜。人的工程若被燒了，他就要受虧損，自己卻要得救；雖然得救，乃像從火裡經過的一樣。」 (林前 3:14-15)
「因為時候到了，審判要從 神的家起首。若是先從我們起首，那不信從 神福音的人將有何等的結局呢？若是義人僅僅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人將有何地呢？」(彼前 4:17-18)「能贏得神的信任是多了不起的一件事！祂信任你！祂信任我！我們每個人有一天都會站在神前為我們的聖職服務作報告。」 艾利斯史坦立長老

Key Point: Get Ready
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom…. Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” (Matthews 25:1-13)
“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.” (1 John 3:2-3)
“So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:12)
“Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.” (1 Corinthians 4:5)
“If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.” (1 Corinthians 3:14-15)
“For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And,
"If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner ?" ” (1 Peter 4:17-18) To win the trust of God is such an incredible thing! God trusts you! God trusts me! One day we will all have to stand before God and be accountable to what we have done for our ministries.
Key Prayer Items:
1. We want to worship Him and to exalt His name in many nations. Ask the Lord to give us a fearful heart, and to use our family as an altar to worship Him, and also make us ready to meet Him at any time.
2. Lord, we honor you, please revive us and revive the church; let everyone know of your grace and righteousness, so that we may equip ourselves and to fight the war for gospel with full armour.
3. Ask God to prepare the churches for united spirit, united prayer and united battle of kingdom of heaven for the gospel. “O Lord! We need your help to motivate our pastors, and deacons to spread your gospel with a united heart. We pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to get us ready for unity.
4. Ask God to have mercy for all churches, so that we will cry out to the Lord to get ready for revival, and with a heart of urgency saving lost souls.

Prayer's Wall (June 13, 2007 - June 20, 2007)
重 點：必須謹慎
「不從惡人的計謀，不站罪人的道路，不坐褻慢人的座位，惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。」 (詩 1:1-3)
「你在 神面前不可冒失開口，也不可心急發言；因為 神在天上，你在地下，所以你的言語要寡少。」 (傳 5: 2)
「因為 神的旨意，我並沒有一樣避諱不傳給你們的。聖靈立你們作全群的監督，你們就當為自己謹慎，也為全群謹慎，牧養 神的教會，就是他用自己血所買來的。」 (徒 20: 27-28)
「所以主說：你這睡著的人當醒過來，從死裡復活！基督就要光照你了。你們要謹慎行事，不要像愚昧人，當像智慧人。要愛惜光陰，因為現今的世代邪惡。不要作糊塗人，要明白主的旨意如何。」 (弗 5:14-17)
代禱重點：
1. 求神讓孩子們融入教會：
· 讓為人父母的明白，教養孩子必須謹慎。鼓勵孩子參加教會聚會，是引導他們歸向神的最重要部份。
· 求神保守孩子們，在教會深深地認識和相信祢。以致在成長期得祢保守，曉得如何謹慎生命的成長。
· 也求神讓教會領袖們在培育孩童各階段的成長期上有好的計劃，建立他們持守與主的關係。

4. 求神幫助每位肢體的家庭，讓我們在工作、求學、教會事奉、別人相處和教養子女各方面都謹慎處理，使家庭互相協調，作神忠心管家。
Key Point: Be Cautious
“Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever hedoes prospers.” (Psalms 1:1-3)
“Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.” (Ecclesiastes 5:2)
“For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.” (Acts 20:27-28)
“for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.” (Ephesians 5:14-17)
If we do not live with the great love and wisdom of the Lord, we will be poor. In the contrary, with the Lord we will be better than the richest in the world.
Key Prayer Items:
1. Ask God to let the children be commixed in the church:
· Let the parents understand that they should be prudent to teach their children, to encourage their children to participate in the church, which is the most important part to lead them to God. · Ask God to protect the children that they may know and trust Him deeply in the church so that they will be protected by Him during their growth and be aware of the importance of prudence in their life development.
· Ask God to lead the church leaders to have a good plan to raise their children, build up their relationship with the Lord.
2. Ask God to let our family be commixed in the church:
· Ask God to preserve the spiritual life of all the members of the body of Christ, to focus on Him, to be cautious in what they do, to have good testimony to illuminate the families and church.
3. Ask God to give our control of tongues, to speak cautiously and not to be a stumbling block to others.
4. Ask God to help the families of the members of body of Christ, to cautiously manage their work, studies, ministries in the church, coping with others and teaching children, so they can coordinate with each other to be a faithful steward for God.

重 點：要逃避試探
「你們要逃避淫行。人所犯的，無論甚麼罪，都在身子以外，惟有行淫的，是得罪自己的身子。」 (林前 六: 18)
「人若自潔，脫離卑賤的事，就必作貴重的器皿，成為聖潔，合乎主用，預備行各 樣的善事。你要逃避少年的私慾，同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、 仁愛、 和平。」 (提後 二: 21-22)
「但你這屬 神的人要逃避這些事，追求公義、敬虔、信心、愛心、忍耐、溫 柔 。」 (提前 六: 11)
代禱重點：

Key Point: Run Away From Temptation
“Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.” (1 Corinthians 6:18)
“If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” (2 Timothy 2:21-22)
“But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.” (1 Timothy 6:11)
Key prayer items:
1. Ask God to keep us in His grace, to pray to Him frequently, whether long or short, any time for any matter. Ask the Lord to give us a heart to draw close to Him, and to have victory over temptation through Him.
2. Pray for the families with children, and ask God to protect them, whether it is in school, in society or choosing friends, so that the Lord will protect them, and give them wisdom to run away from and have victory over temptations.

Prayer's Wall (May 30, 2007 - June 5, 2007)
重點：提防貪心
「然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。只要有衣有食，就當知足。但那些想要發財的人， 就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裏，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。」 (提前 六: 6-10 )
渴求得著更多東西，或希望得到屬於別人的東西，都是危險的。使徒保羅稱這種強烈慾望為「拜偶像」。（西 三:5）
主要我們在祂裡得滿足，所以祂發出警告；「你們要．．免去一切的貪心。因為人的生命，不在乎家道豐富。」（路十二:15）
代禱重點：
1. 求神保守我們的心志，讓我們尊主為大、為聖。以祂為中心，使我們不至愛慕世界過於祂。
2. 神啊！求祝福我們的家庭都敬重祢，以祢為主。並且愛丈夫/妻子，不貪戀別人的美貌和錢財，以致抛棄家庭，甚至遠離祢。
3. 為每對夫婦都能持守婚姻而向我神呼求。求那嚴謹的主，親自介入「有問題」的家庭，蒙祢眷顧，婚姻得保守，並過著儆醒的生活。
4. 神啊！我們知道禱告就是我們的力量，使每個人都能從神支取能力，扺擋魔鬼。主啊！願我們在祢裡面多依靠祢，向祢呼求。這樣可使我們勝過貪念、勝過引誘、勝過強烈慾望。我主我神！求祢幫助我們過聖潔生活。
Key Point: Beware of Greediness
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)
The desire to possess more or to covet other’s possession is dangerous. This is what apostle Paul referred to as ‘idolatry’, like he admonished us in Colossians 3:5, “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.” The Lord likes us to find satisfaction in Him, therefore He warned: “Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."” (Luke 12:15) You cannot find happiness in greed.
Key Prayer Items:
1. Ask the Lord to preserve our will, so we shall honor and glorify the Lord, and we will make Him center of our lives, and not loving the world more than Him.
2. O God! May you bless our family to revere you, and make you Lord, so that the spouse will love one another, and not covet other’s beauty and wealth, leading to breaking the family and departing from the Lord.
3. Each couple will call upon the Lord and keep the marriage; may we invoke the solemn Lord to personally intervene with the family with problems; may God look after them, so that their marriages will be protected and lead to a watchful life.
4. O God! We know that prayer is our strength, and we can all receive strength from God to defend against the devil. “O Lord! May we rely on you more and call upon you so that we may overcome our greed, temptation, and lustful desire. My Lord and my God! Please help us to live a holy life.”
「然而，敬虔加上知足的心便是大利了；因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世上來，也不能帶甚麼去。只要有衣有食，就當知足。但那些想要發財的人， 就陷在迷惑、落在網羅和許多無知有害的私慾裏，叫人沉在敗壞和滅亡中。貪財是萬惡之根。有人貪戀錢財，就被引誘離了真道，用許多愁苦把自己刺透了。」 (提前 六: 6-10 )

3. Each couple will call upon the Lord and keep the marriage; may we invoke the solemn Lord to personally intervene with the family with problems; may God look after them, so that their marriages will be protected and lead to a watchful life.
4. O God! We know that prayer is our strength, and we can all receive strength from God to defend against the devil. “O Lord! May we rely on you more and call upon you so that we may overcome our greed, temptation, and lustful desire. My Lord and my God! Please help us to live a holy life.”

Prayer's Wall (May 9, 2007 - May 15, 2007)
重點：讓 他 來 調 教 吧！
經 文：疲 乏 的，他 賜 能 力； 軟 弱 的，他 加 力 量。(賽 四 十:二十九)
但 那 等 侯 耶 和 華 的，必 從 新 得 力。 他 們 必 如 鷹 展 翅 上 騰，他 們 奔 跑 卻 不 因 倦，行 走 卻 不 疲 乏。(賽 四 十:三十一)

代 禱 重 點:
1. 求 神 使 牧 者、長 執 和 事 奉 的 肢 體 都 明 白 神 的 旨 意。同 時，也 讓 神 來 調 校 方 向；無 論 是 植 堂、差 傳、團 契、小 組 和 肢 體 溝 通 等 推 動 的 事 工，若 有 不 合 神 心 意，求 神 親 自 調 校，以 致 就 得 更 好，更 蒙 神 悅 納。
2. 主 啊! 願 你 來 調 校 生 活 的 時 間 表 (包 括 教 會 事 奉) - 懂 得 好 好 去 分 配，不 因 只 單 顧 工 作 而 忽 略 身 心 健 康。
3. 求 神 調 校 我 們 懂 得 將 一 切 事 奉 和 工 作 都 全 然 交 託。
