Prayer's Wall (November 21, 2007 - November 27, 2007)

重點: 奔向目標

「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.

Prayer's Wall (November 14, 2007 - November 20, 2007)

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。


Keypoints: Pray On All Occasion

“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.

Prayer's Wall (October 31, 2007 - November 6, 2007)

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。


Keypoint: Pray Expectantly

“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.
