得勝向上或向下—-啓示錄21:7［得勝的, 必𠄘受為業. 我要作他的神, 他要做我的兒子.］我們處在一個動盪的時代. 全球政經局勢產生翻天覆地的變化. 美國覇主岌岌可危. 歐洲動盪不安. 每個人都在這個過程受到影響. 我們的工作, 家庭, 經濟, 社會, 心理, 信仰都受到衝擊, 最後究竟是向上還是向下？向上得勝的是指建立神與人的關係. 不管環境多麼惡劣難堪, 得勝一直是耶穌留給基督徒的教導. 在我們裡面的比外面更強大. 得勝就是新耶路撒冷的神與人同住, 同在. 而非世俗的成功致富, 消災解厄, 趨吉避凶, 或不擇手段的向下得勝. 在該隱的以諾之城奉行的是向下得勝, 正如世人拷貝上帝更新一切的態度一樣, 可惜世俗的向下得勝只是物競天擇, 優勝劣敗, 如果不能悲天憫人, 不能與神同在, 是無法真正得勝, 而只是徒勞而無功, 緣木而求魚. 自古以來, 人類歷史就在戰爭中前進, 地上的國在波斯魔君的背後主導下生靈塗炭, 並在羅馬帝國達到第一個高峰. 耶穌也應驗了但以理的異象, 選擇在羅馬帝國中建立神的國. 教會企圖徹底改變政權背後的黑暗權勢. 但地上的國一直試圖干擾天上的國, 政教合一更是教會歷史上揮之不去的傷口與惡夢, 一直到今天. 基督徒得勝的榜樣是但以理, 他的老闆跟同事都是極端異教徒, 甚至在職塲受逼迫. 不但無損他的靈命, 甚至帶動他得到末日的啓示. 戰爭的本質是政治, 政治的本質是屬靈爭戰. 神的國不屬這世界. 凱撒的歸凱薩, 基督徒關心政治但不受困於政治. 每一次的經濟動盪都是財富重新分配, 產業再出發, 是工革命的無限循環, 是資源的自然調節, 也是社會秩序的重整. 對某些人是向上, 對某些人是向下. 基督徒看重的是在一次又一次的金融危機中, 我們如何得勝, 不只是賺錢. 而是如何真正建立合神心意的理財觀, 如何正確看待金錢, 所謂得勝不是只為自己發財致富, 而是實現天國的信仰. 天國的信仰使我們得勝向上, 而不是向下.
Victory upward or downward – Revelation 21:7 [He who overcomes will receive it as an inheritance. I will be his God, and he will be my son.] We are in a turbulent era. The global political and economic situation Earth-shaking changes have taken place. The American hegemon is in danger. Europe is in turmoil. Everyone is affected by this process. Our work, family, economy, society, psychology, and beliefs are all affected. Will it be up or down in the end? Victory upward refers to the establishment of a relationship between God and man. No matter how bad and embarrassing the environment is, victory has always been the teaching left by Jesus to Christians. What is within us is stronger than what is outside. Victory means that the God of the New Jerusalem lives and is with man. In. Rather than worldly success and getting rich, eliminating disasters, seeking good fortune and avoiding disasters, or defeating downwards by any means necessary. In Cain’s City of Enoch, we pursue downward victory, just as the world copies God’s attitude of renewing everything. , it is a pity that the worldly downward victory is only natural selection, the better wins and the worse loses. If you cannot be compassionate and compassionate, and cannot be with God, you will not be able to truly win. Instead, you will just work in vain and without success, fishing for fish based on trees. Since ancient times, human history As they advanced in the war, the kingdoms on earth were devastated under the leadership of the Persian demon king, and reached their first peak in the Roman Empire. Jesus also fulfilled Daniel’s vision and chose to establish the kingdom of God in the Roman Empire. The church attempts to completely change the dark forces behind the political power. But the kingdom on earth has always tried to interfere with the kingdom in heaven. The unity of politics and religion has been a lingering wound and nightmare in the history of the church until today. The example of Christian victory is Dan Daniel, his boss and colleagues were all extreme pagans, and were even persecuted at work. Not only did this not damage his spiritual life, it even led him to receive the revelation of the end of the world. The essence of war is politics, and the essence of politics is spiritual warfare. God Our country is not of this world. What is Caesar’s is for Caesar. Christians care about politics but are not trapped in politics. Every economic turmoil is a redistribution of wealth and a restart of industry. It is an infinite cycle of the industrial revolution and the natural change of resources. Adjustment is also the reorganization of the social order. For some people it is upward, for some people it is downward. What Christians value is how we overcome in financial crises again and again, not just making money, but how to truly Establish a financial management concept that is in line with God’s will and how to treat money correctly. The so-called victory is not just to get rich for yourself, but to realize the faith of the kingdom of heaven. The faith of the kingdom of heaven makes us win upward, not downward.
