「你們要這樣禱告」聖經營勸勉在每天生活中尋求神

上週六(3月2日),以馬內利青年部舉行了每月一次的聖經日營,以「你們要這樣禱告」為題,幫助聖經學生明確生活中的優先順序:每天凡事尋求主。

兩位宣教士先後分享兩場聖經講座:「我們在天上的父」和「我們日用的飲食,天天賜給我們」。

一位宣教士首先指出天上有一位父親熱切地聆聽祂兒女的祈求。 「我們祈求與神來交談,祂以祂的話語來回答我們,」所以,「非常感謝我們有可以祈求的一位天父,因為祂是全能的,並且祂是如此地愛我們,甚至將祂的唯一的獨生子,耶穌基督賜給我們」,她說。

罪人是很容易被神以外的事物所綑綁,「因此我們需要每天每天帶著真誠的心,來仰望祂的信實。」

隨後,宣教士也進一步呼籲大家要成為神真正的兒女,寶貴地看重神的名字,也為在這地上成就神的國度和義而活出自己的一生。

在第二講中,另一位宣教士提醒大家為日用的飲食禱告的原因:「是訓練我們凡事依靠神,在日常生活中來到神面前。」

從路加福音11章5-8節,他分享道:「朋友的『情詞迫切的直求』就是愛。有了這種愛,我們就可以喜樂地禱告祈求,然後神一定會豐盛地賜予。」

「我們每天祈求的生活,其實是把我們領進更深的愛的層次當中,同時我們的心也會變得寬廣,能夠劃更大的愛的圓圈」,「我們祈求神所得著的最大的獎賞就是賜予我們聖靈,用別的話來講,就是神自己。因此,我們透過禱告去經歷與神同行的生活以及祂奇妙的作為。」他補充道。

“Pray Like This” Bible Camp Urges to Seek God Daily in Their Lives

Last Saturday (March 2), Immanuel Youth organized its monthly Bible Day Camp with a theme of “Pray Like This”, and helped Bible students to identify the priority of their lives: seeking the Lord daily in everything.

Missionaries conducted two Bible lectures of “Our Father in Heaven” and “Give us Today Our Daily Bread”.

A missionary firstly pointed out there is a Father in heaven eagerly listening to His children’s prayers. “We pray to speak with God, and He answers us with His Words,” therefore, “it is very thankful to have Heavenly Father for us to ask since He is the mighty one and loves us so much even to give us His one and own son, Jesus Christ”, she said.

Sinful men are easily to be trapped in everthing other than God, “we need to look back at His faithfulness with our sincere heart, day by day.”

Then, missionary further urged to become true God’s son and daughter to treasure His precious name, and live out their lives for fulfilling His Kingdom and righteousness on earth.

In second lecture, another missionary reminded everyone the reason to pray for their daily bread: “training us to rely on God for everything and come before Him in daily lives.”

From Luke 11:5-8, he shared, “the ‘shameless audacity’ for his friend is love, and with this love, we can ask in prayer joyfully and then God will surely and abundantly give.”

“The life of seeking God daily, actually leads us to a deeper level of love. Meanwhile, our hearts will become broader and we can draw a greater circle of love,” “the greatest reward of seeking and asking is to grant us Holy Spirit, in another word, it is God himself. Therefore, we can experience a life of walking with God and His amazing works through prayer,” he added.
