奉獻和捐助—-歷代志上29:14B[因為萬物都從祢而來, 我們把從祢而得的獻給祢.][故事]有一位敬虔愛主的農夫, 他樂善好施, 鄰居和親友們都不明白, 他奉獻如此之多, 何以仍然這麼富裕?農夫說”這很容易解釋. 你瞧, 我不斷地鏟入神的倉庫裏. 而神也不斷地往我的倉庫裏回鏟, 可是祂的鏟子比我的大的多.” [思考]奉獻和捐助人不但是聖經的吩咐, 也是蒙福的管道. 不單是學習遵行聖經上的教導, 更是一種生活的態度. [禱告]親愛的天父上帝, 我們獻上感恩, 因為祢創造我們, 又賜給我們一切的好處, 顧念我們生活所需要的, 使我們沒有缺乏. 我們願意將我們的金錢, 時間和才幹奉獻給祢使用, 也要有憐憫的心, 看到身心靈有缺乏和需要的人, 也要大方的以行動去幫助他們, 關心他們. 因為萬物都是祢所創造, 我們的一切都是從祢而來, 也當獻上給主. 禱告是奉主耶穌基督的名, 阿們!
Dedication and donation – 1 Chronicles 29:14B [Because all things come from you, we dedicate to you what we have received from you.] [Story] There was a farmer who was pious and loved the Lord. He was good at giving to his neighbors, relatives and friends. We all don’t understand why he is still so rich after he has given so much. The farmer said, “It’s easy to explain. You see, I keep shoveling into God’s storehouse. And God keeps shoveling back into my storehouse, but His shovel is much bigger than mine.” [Thinking] Dedication and Donor is not only a command of the Bible, but also a channel of blessing. It is not only learning to follow the teachings of the Bible, but also an attitude towards life. [Prayer] Dear Heavenly Father God, we express our gratitude because You created us and You created us. Give us all the benefits and take care of what we need in life so that we have nothing to lack. We are willing to dedicate our money, time and talents to your use, and we must also have a compassionate heart and see the lack and need in body, mind and soul. People should also act generously to help them and care for them. Because all things are created by You, everything we have comes from You, and we should also offer it to the Lord. This prayer is in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen !
