2026-堂主任的話

22/03/2026堂主任的話

   「喜悅」要踏進第八年了，我再次默想到啟示錄中，那間並未受責備的教會「非拉鐵非」的特質時，驚訝老約翰的描述，發現耶穌與我們的關係竟是這樣關係牢固。

「…那拿著大衛鑰匙的…」，那位掌握天國與歷史終極鑰匙的主，有一天站在你身旁說：「我知道你的力量，顯然只是微少甚至單薄的，在跟隨我的路上，你曾遵守，但失敗的也不少，正當有撒但用謊話來說：「看你這樣，神怎會愛你！」，我在身旁也倒吸一陣涼氣，然而你沒有選擇棄絕我，全然相信我仍是愛你。因此這扇隨時可以讓你來到我這裏的門，是永遠打開的；我要叫撒但在你面前跌倒。

你現在忍耐地持守我的道，就不用受將來世界的試練，再不多時，我就回來，你只管守住每一樣我已給你的，我若沒有給你，你就不要強求，免得有人趁機把你的冠冕也奪去。

我已揀選你作個守住神殿中的柱子，屹立不倒，普天下的人事物，都屬於神，你要為往教會之路把關，不被仇敵破壞。

     神國擁有無限遠景，深願我們「喜悅」都是那個不能震動的「非拉鐵非」人。

下週談談：回復熱誠的老底嘉人

As Favor 611 steps into its eighth year, I once again think about the church in Philadelphia described in Revelation—the church that received no rebuke from the Lord. Reading John's words, I am deeply moved to see how firm and close our relationship with Jesus really is.  

      “The One who holds the key of David…”—the Lord who holds the ultimate key to heaven and all of history—stands beside you and says:  

“I know your strength is small. I have seen you obey Me on the journey, though you have also stumbled many times. When Satan tries to whisper, ‘See how weak you are! How could God still love you?’—I feel your pain. Yet you have not turned away from Me; you still believe that I love you. Therefore, the door that leads you into My presence will always remain open. I will cause Satan to fall before you.”  

     You are faithfully holding on to My word. Because of this endurance, you will not face the trials that will come upon the world. I am coming soon. Hold tightly to all that I have already given you, and do not strive for what I have not granted, so that no one can take away your crown.  

     I have chosen you to be a pillar in the temple of God—firm and unmoved. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to God. Stand guard over the way of the church so that the enemy cannot destroy it.  

     The Kingdom of God has an infinite horizon. May our Favor 611 become like the faithful people of Philadelphia—unshakable and steadfast in the Lord.  

Next week: Let’s talk about the Laodiceans who restore their passion.

記在七週年堂慶的前夕⋯ ⋯

若說從六週年堂慶到今天七週年堂慶，神在「喜悅」作了什麼？就先從預言開始吧：

     在2025 三月份，鳯兒牧師預言：神看顧「喜悅」，從爭戰中得勝往前，C-mo 要成為新婦戰士，堅守教會，建造團隊，當喜樂師母，Pastor Joe當文士話語教導，性格慷慨財務蒙福，興起年青人，有多堂崇拜，神以笑臉看「喜悅」，弟兄姊妹生命大翻轉，恩膏湧流，禱告有力。

     到2025 八月份，Debby 牧師預言：看到三桶膏油傾倒流進「喜悅」，能醫治、使人有喜樂，生命再不一樣；恩膏家庭復活，兩代破裂関係得修服，Pastor Joe 和 Stella C-Mo手拿權仗擊退仇敵，建立很多年輕人。

那麼，神是怎樣帶領着「喜悅」呢？

透過祂自己的話語，過去12個月，晨禱已閱讀了新舊約中十卷書卷：詩篇、歌羅西書、箴言、以斯拉記、哥林多前、後書、歷代志下、馬可福音、以斯帖記、啟示錄。我們一章一章的閱讀，聖靈天天賜下新鮮嗎哪，每早晨大家可先得豐富靈糧，領受神當天的啟示。

崇拜主日信息方包括：1，蒙神喜悅系列，2屬靈兵器系列，3,職場但以理書系列，4服侍長大成熟系列，5反敗為勝以斯帖系列。涵蓋愛人、愛神、愛教會，職場、家庭、夫妻兩代関係。

週六黃昏開始了ANEW 中英雙語崇拜，與青少年同步進行；沒有年齡限制的週五早上榮耀崇；兒童教會基督小兵主日的更新流程，連同哈哈小樹苗提供八個月到3歲幼兒也可來到教會親子活動。

其間我們有 21/7-29/8/2025的40日禁食禱告操練；26-28/10/2025首次三代恩愛夫妻營；6-7/3/2026首屆生命釋放醫治營。

回顧這些事情，兩段預言在今天確實一一應驗，七週年看到神多麽豐盛的供應。

     弟兄姊妹，你有想過七年後的你會是怎樣呢？我真的不曾想到七年前和七年後的我，與Stella C-Mo 有能力跟隨神，與喜悅弟兄姊妹一步一步的往前走，神的作為真是又深又廣。

今天我們就開始為主展開夢想之旅，踏進第八個年頭，我們⋯⋯ 一起參與，一起投入，一起扶持，在「奇妙」的遮蓋下，勇敢面對，得著神為「喜悅」預備的獎賞。

On the Eve of Our 7th Anniversary Celebration⋯⋯

From our 6th to our 7th anniversary — what has God done in Favor 611 ? Let’s begin with the prophecies.  

In March 2025, Pastor Fiona prophesied that God is watching over “Favor 611 ” We will rise from battles into victory!  Stella C-Mo will be a bride-warrior, standing strong to build the church and the team. Pastor Joe will be a teacher of the Word, generous and financially blessed. Young people will be raised up, new worship services will begin, and God will smile on “Favor 611 .” Lives will be transformed, anointing will overflow, and prayers will grow powerful !  

In August 2025, Pastor Debby shared a prophecy of three jars of oil pouring into Favor 611 — bringing healing, joy, and renewed life! Families will be restored, broken relationships between generations will be mended. Pastor Joe and Stella C-Mo will hold God’s staff to defeat the enemy and raise up many young leaders.  

How has God led Favor 611 this past year ?

Through His Word!  

Over the past 12 months, our morning devotions has read ten books of the Bible — Psalms, Colossians, Proverbs, Ezra, 1 & 2 Corinthians, 2 Chronicles, Mark, Esther, and Revelation.  

We read chapter by chapter, and the Holy Spirit gives us fresh manna every morning — rich spiritual food and new revelations from God each day!  

Our Sunday sermon series have covered:  

1. Pleasing God  

2. Spiritual Weapons  

3. Daniel in the Workplace  

4. Serving and Maturing  

5. From Defeat to Victory – Esther  

These messages have touched on loving God, loving people, loving the church, and growing in faith, work, and family relationships.  

On Saturdays, we began the ANEW bilingual (English–Chinese) service alongside our youth service. Friday mornings now have the Glory Service for all ages. Our children’s ministry, Little Soldiers for Christ, has a new flow, and Haha Seedlings welcomes babies and toddlers (8 months to 3 years) with fun parent–child activities.  

During this time, we also:  

- Held a 40-day fast and prayer (21 July–29 August 2025)  

- Hosted our first Three-Generation Couples Camp (26–28 October 2025)  

- Launched our first Healing and Deleverance

Camp (6–7 March 2026)  

Looking back, every prophecy has come true — we can see God’s rich provision at this 7th anniversary!  

Dear brothers and sisters, have you imagined what you will be like seven years from now?  

I surely never imagined that seven years ago, God would give Stella and me such strength to follow Him — walking step by step with everyone in Favor 611. His works are truly deep and wide!  

Today, as we step into our 8th year, let’s begin another journey of dreams for the Lord.  

Let’s walk together, serve together, hold each other up — and under our mother church Wonderful 611 covering, bravely move forward to receive all that He has prepared for Favor 611 !

當我繼續前往撒狄城，沿途有陡峭，崎嶇的山路，我原知她是一座古城，有著過去的輝煌，但自持有天險之助，疏於防備，被波斯王古列其間攻入淪陷。我想這也對應現在撒狄人的寫照。我發覺沿途行人稀少，好不容易見到一小群人，彷彿這地方是没有人會來探訪的，終於看到一位像蒼老的長者，他看到我既驚訝錯愕， 問我到來是為什麼？我溫柔微笑，我就是要來造訪撒狄，他答道：找我！他這樣回覆，我也彷彿回到昔日初見的場景，這少年人專心聽著聽著，對一些如何當作的事情，就發問，明白了就滿心歡喜，該遵守的、該悔改的，都立意而行。

     但這次重聚，他默言不語，外表蒼老，我心中也明白，我告訴他，這回探望的目的，就是重新給你動力，其實，當初你能了解的有限，能作的也有限，所以，當日子一天一天的過去，若好像什麼都不用改，就只停留在昨天，面對你自己的成長，環境的改變，人與人之間有著更復雜的互動，若以為這個我明白，那個我都懂，其實這都是生命初階，不足以應付。

     你昔日的靈是幼嫩的，你要回復天天來親近我，你的名字不正就是「恢復活力」嗎？

不要只停留在起點，被塵埃封住，死氣沈沈，在我這裏，有活潑的道，你年紀漸長，面對不同的生命問題，仍有很多新的意念需要更新，我知你擔心世俗的價值觀會影響撒狄城，但只有外表的剛強，形式化，雖然你仍能勉強維持信仰該有的生活模式，但你也會乾固，靈性便怠惰，但只要記着，世界雖不斷改變，但我會給你智慧，就像你剛剛認識我，我給你的一樣，你保持渴慕的態度就對，其實要看透萬事，必要心意更新，不要像老油條，變得遲鈍。單以形式守住真道，是不足夠的。

     當年與你一起尋道的，他們也常求問我，我知道他們是站立得穩的，所以，不要故步自封，當你感受不到你內在的屬靈能力時，就知道是時候要停下來，回到我身邊，要更深認識我，我父，和賜給每一位天國公民的聖靈。羅馬的律法尚且對嚴重犯罪的人以取消公民資格，可況天國公民要求更高，但誠意認錯，回轉悔改卻是保留天國公民在生命冊的應許。

祝福「喜悅」的弟兄姊妹常常心意更新，活潑喜樂事奉，與主同行。

As I continued toward Sardis, the road was steep and rough through the mountains. I knew it was an ancient city with a glorious past. Yet because it trusted in its natural defenses, it became careless, and the Persian king Cyrus was able to enter and conquer it. I felt this also reflects the condition of the people of Sardis today.

Along the road I saw very few travelers. After a long while, I finally saw a small group of people, as if this were a place no one would visit. At last I saw someone who looked like an elderly man. He was surprised to see me and asked why I had come. I smiled gently and said I had come to visit Sardis.

He replied, “Looking for me?”

His words brought me back to our first meeting long ago. As a young man, he listened attentively. Whenever he did not understand what he should do, he would ask questions. When he understood, he was filled with joy, and he was willing to obey and repent where needed.

But this time, when we met again, he was silent. His appearance was aged, and I understood in my heart. I told him that the purpose of this visit was to give him new strength again.

At the beginning, what you understood was limited, and what you could do was also limited. But as the days passed, if nothing seemed to need changing, you remained where you were yesterday. Yet as you grow and as circumstances change, relationships become more complex. If you think, “I already understand this and that,” you must realize that such understanding belongs only to the early stage of life and is not enough to face everything.

Your spirit was once young and tender. You must return to draw near to me every day. Is not your name “Revived Strength”?

Do not stay only at the starting point, covered with dust and lifeless. With me there is living truth. As you grow older and face different issues in life, many new thoughts still need to be renewed.

I know you worry that worldly values will influence the city of Sardis. But if there is only outward strength and empty formality, even if you manage to maintain the appearance of a faithful life, you will become dry and your spirit will grow lazy. Remember this: although the world keeps changing, I will give you wisdom—just as when you first knew me. Keep a longing heart. To truly see through all things, your mind must be renewed. Do not become dull and hardened. Holding the truth only in form is not enough.

Those who once sought the truth together with you often asked me questions. I know they stand firm. So do not limit yourself. When you no longer feel the spiritual strength within you, it is time to stop and return to me—to know me more deeply, my Father, and the Holy Spirit given to every citizen of the Kingdom.

Even Roman law removes the citizenship of those who commit serious crimes. How much higher are the standards for the citizens of Heaven. Yet sincere confession and true repentance carry the promise that a citizen of Heaven will remain written in the Book of Life.

May the brothers and sisters of “Favor” always renew their minds, serve with living joy, and walk together with the Lord.

「推 雅 推 喇」不要放縱，要明辨真愛與溺愛！

     寄語「別迦摩」要勇敢堅持找到自己在主裏的使命後，我便往東到下一站「推 雅 推 喇」，這地方名字源自希臘語，意為女兒的意思。

     從遠處看到的推雅推喇，金碧輝煌，呈現出城市繁榮的一面，因著，銅鑄造技術純熟，宏偉中有細緻，表現出他們的優秀工藝能力，各處裝飾華麗，器皿都是經過銅匠刻意打做，都是價值高的產物，心中讚嘆！神所賞賜給當地人的智慧，何其美栽！神確實很愛這城市的人，當踏進城市慢步，更感受到那獨特的紫色布藝，貴族色彩，連同皮革、陶器，都是這些行業卓越領導者的建樹，彷彿告訴我們，在這裏孕育出來的，是有氣質、有品味、富智慧，非一般之輩。

     「推雅推喇」啊！可見你從小就非常可愛，你勤努、認真，又有品味，實在令人疼愛你，在職場中要保護你，在休閑處也要察看你。但在過分溺愛中，你開始任性，刁蠻起來，不自覺地被一些別有用心的人，想操縱你，起初他們奉承你，叫你不自覺離開正道，讓你天天與他們一伙享樂，他們是放縱肉體，邀請你參與淫亂色情活動，他們是騙子，與他們聯合，神最終必追討他們的罪。

     你要快快回到「其餘的」人中，就是從起初，就潔身自愛，即被嘲笑、孤立，也守住純正信仰，不跟世俗妥協，拒絕那些不是所需要的利誘，神要更新你們的眼光，賜給你們新的創意能力，足以勝過那些自私集團，還記得那位保羅在腓立比遇上的婦人呂底亞(推雅推喇人)嗎？她的慷慨渴慕忠誠才是你們的真榜樣。

弟兄姊妹，盼望我們在推雅推喇教會的啟示中，不要只貪圖享受愛中成長，更要提防自己丢進溺愛陷阱而不自知。

下週分享作個冊上留名的「撒狄」人

Thyatira — Do Not Indulge Yourself, But Learn to Discern Between True Love and Spoiled Affection!

After encouraging the believers in Pergamum to stand firm and find their mission in the Lord, my journey now takes me east to Thyatira.  

The name Thyatira comes from Greek, meaning “daughter.”  

From afar, the city glitters like gold—rich and lively, a picture of prosperity. The people here are skilled in bronze work: strong yet delicate, simple yet beautiful. Their ornate streets and finely crafted vessels show the remarkable talent that God has placed among them. Truly, God has poured His wisdom and grace upon this city’s people.  

Walking through its lanes, the royal colour of purple stands out—a mark of dignity and elegance. The craftsmanship in leather and pottery is also outstanding. It feels as though this city gives birth to people of character, style, and intelligence—unique and full of grace.  

O Thyatira! You are lovely from your youth—diligent, thoughtful, and refined. You draw affection easily; people wish to protect you, whether at work or at rest. Yet too much indulgence has made you restless and willful. Without noticing, you have been drawn in by those with impure motives. They flatter you, pulling you quietly away from truth. They invite you to live for pleasure, to chase desires that dishonour your soul. These deceivers will one day face God’s judgment for their sins.  

Dear one, return to be among “the rest”—those who have remained pure and faithful from the beginning. Though mocked or left alone, they have held fast to genuine faith, refusing to compromise with the world or be tempted by false gain. God will renew their vision and fill them with creative strength to rise above selfish powers.  

Remember Lydia, the woman from Thyatira whom Paul met in Philippi She is your true example—faithful, wise, and generous, a woman who opened her heart and her home to the Lord.  

Brothers and sisters, may the message to the church in Thyatira teach us this: in love, do not only seek comfort and warmth, but also learn to guard against the trap of indulgence and self-pleasing.  

Next week, we will reflect on the people of Sardis—those whose names are written in the Book of Life.  ，

22/02/2026堂主任的話

每週所寫堂主任的話，其中最先閱讀的，有我的女兒舒齡(Donna)，當我問到她對上週內容回應時，她說這次比較難掌握，七教會中的士每拿，可對應哪一段跟隨主的寫照呢？

     如果說以弗所是年青的小伙子，士每拿應該是歷盡滄桑的穩重信徒，不容易失腳，大家聽罷士每拿的獨白，在患難中，要拒絕誘惑，選擇簡單生活，不好高騖遠，腳踏實地，這樣，主必看顧我們，活得喜樂。但是，士每拿的處境只是在跟隨主中的一段時刻，來！我們繼續往下一站：危機重重的別迦摩(Pergamon)。

     從士每拿繼續往北，不到二小時的車程便到達別迦摩城，在古代，這裏已是集政治、文化、醫學與宗教中心，也是羅馬帝國亞西亞行省省府，這裏有著冒險家樂園的吸引力。

     面對當代的該撒(皇帝)崇拜，異教神祇臨立，按猶太傳統，安提帕是使徒約翰的門徒，並由約翰親自按立為別迦摩教會的第一任主教，他因堅持傳講基督，被異教祭司指控，為主殉道。是什麼讓別迦摩信徒，面對這些衝擊，仍能堅守主道，繼續往前呢？

     不要怕，世界好像黑暗在掌權，會對你說：你什麼都不能！撒但在通俗文化掩飾下，處處與神為敵，引誘人把純正信仰參雜了，沾染在祭鬼邪術行列，跌進色情陷阱，放縱肉體。然而要從這麽多的絆腳石中，不被絆倒，那麼你對神的話，需要有特別執著的偏愛，深深相信神口中所出的話，如一柄兩刅利劍，能剖開一切虛假偽裝，堅守以神的話為絕對標準，相信神的審判是公義的，縱使我們周圍的世界像危機重重的別迦摩，弟兄姊妹今天神在喜悅611，也要孕育出你們有著冒險家的精神，敢於為著真道，尋找個人在神心中的特別計劃，過著神為你量身定造、身份合適，looks 又Fit 又Good的生活。為著自己信念，必尋見神應許那隱藏的嗎哪，天天得着供應，和那塊專屬你的白石！ 謹記，基督用水藉着道，把教會洗淨，成為聖潔的了。

下週談談「推 雅 推 喇」Thyatira ～真愛與溺愛

Every week, the first person who reads my “Pastor’s Word” is my daughter, Donna. When I asked her what she thought about last week’s message, she said honestly, “This one felt harder to grasp. Which part of Smyrna’s story really shows what it means to follow Jesus?”  

 If Ephesus represents a young believer—earnest and full of energy—then Smyrna speaks of a faithful disciple who has walked through trials and learned to stand firm. When we listen to Smyrna’s story, we are reminded that in the midst of suffering, we can still choose a simple life, say no to temptation, stay humble, and keep our feet steady on the path of faith. When we live this way, the Lord cares for us, and we find a joy that the world cannot take away. Smyrna’s journey is just as one season along the road of following Christ. Let’s now continue to the next stop—Pergamon, a place filled with tests and challenges.  

Traveling north from Smyrna, less than two hours away, lies the ancient city of Pergamon—a center of politics, learning, healing, and religion, once the capital of the Roman province of Asia. In its glory days, it was a city of great allure, dazzling and dangerous at the same time.  

There, emperor worship ruled, and idols filled the temples. Tradition tells us that Antipas, a disciple of the Apostle John and the first bishop of Pergamon’s church, was martyred for preaching Christ faithfully. His courage raises a question for us: what gives believers the strength to stay true to the Lord amid such powerful opposition?  

The Lord’s message is clear: “Do not be afraid.” Even when darkness seems to rule the world and voices around us say, “You have no power,” God’s Word reminds us that we are never without hope. Satan hides behind the glamour of culture, twisting truth and tempting hearts to compromise—blending the holy with the unclean, drawing people toward idolatry, impurity, and self-indulgence. To walk faithfully through such a world, we must cling to God’s Word with unwavering love. His Word is a double-edged sword—it cuts through every disguise and half-truth. Let Scripture remain our final standard, for God’s judgment is always righteous and sure.  

So even when the world feels as perilous as Pergamon, let us remember that God is still shaping brave hearts in His people. He delights in children who carry a spirit of holy adventure—ready to seek His perfect plan, live out the identity He designed uniquely for them, and walk in the beauty of a life that truly “fits” His purpose. As we hold fast to our faith, He promises to give us the hidden manna of His daily provision and the white stone of His intimate approval.  

And never forget: Christ is sanctifying His church, cleansing her by the washing of water through His Word, making her beautiful and holy before Him.  

Next week, we will reflect on Thyatira — True Love and Over-Protective Love.

15/02/2026堂主任的話

 ……當心中仍默默為以弗所的小伙子禱告，祝福他快快拾回起初的愛心時，聖靈就使我穿越時空，來到天上榮耀大寶座前，有兩大羣人，一邊是以色列各支派，另一邊是數之不盡，身穿白衣的，忽然有一張熟悉的面孔，啊，士每拿！不錯、就是耶穌叫約翰寫信給七使者之中的士每拿。

    他成長的那片地土，是座古老城市，一度被毀於公元前600年，三百年後，希臘人起來重建，因擁有優良港灣、是交通樞紐，商業繁榮，被稱為亞西亞的冠冕。然而，在公元 178 年受地震所創，卻在羅馬統治下再被重修，保存至今，甚至「士每拿古集市」作為「伊茲密爾歷史港口城市」的一部分，被正式列入 UNESCO 世界遺產預備名單。歷史痕蹟像述說生活在其上的居民，心中有死而復活的毅力。

    士每拿啊，你是如何得勝的呢！他就告訴我，當年他所處的年代是面對宗教逼迫，生活貧困，被搶奪；聚會時，甚至被自稱是同胞(其實是撒但一會的)所出賣，隨時被捉下在監裏。那時的我，不怕難、不怕窮，反而靈內富足，簡單生活，使我活得輕鬆；收到老約翰的勉勵書信，我就立志，至死忠心，也不怕別人毀謗，堅守主道，相信主必為我平反，最終，嚴峻的試煉過去，患難止住，壓力測試達標，我也因而獲得人生最高榮譽冠冕，免去靈魂在火湖中與神永遠分離的審判，得以穿白衣站在這裏。我靠着羔羊的血，就是赦罪的恩典，把衣裳(沾污了罪的身體)洗白淨了，往後的日子，在神帳幕遮盍下，不再飢渴；日頭和炎熱傷不了我，神的話如生命水的泉源，滋潤生命，是神親手擦去過去一切的眼淚 ，現在，放在我面前的一條康壯的屬靈大道直通永恆。

下回探索危機處處的別迦摩

While I was quietly praying for the young believer in Ephesus, asking God to help him return to his first love, the Holy Spirit seemed to carry me to the glorious throne in heaven. There I saw two great groups of people: on one side were the tribes of Israel, and on the other side was a countless crowd dressed in white. Suddenly, I noticed a familiar face. It was Smyrna, the one whom Jesus told John to write to among the seven churches in Revelation.

Smyrna grew up in a very old city. The city was destroyed around 600 BC, but about 300 years later the Greeks rebuilt it. Because it had a good harbour and was a traffic hub, trade became very strong, and people called it “the crown of Asia.” Later, an earthquake in AD 178 damaged the city badly, but it was rebuilt again under Roman rule. Today, the Ancient Agora of Smyrna, as part of the “Historical Port City of Izmir,” is on UNESCO’s World Heritage Tentative List. Its long history seems to show that the people who lived there had a strong spirit that could “die and rise again.”

I asked him, “Smyrna, how did you overcome?” He answered that in his time the church faced strong religious persecution. Life was very poor, their belongings were taken away, and their meetings were betrayed by people who called themselves fellow Jews but were actually from the “synagogue of Satan.” Believers could be arrested and put into prison at any time.

He said, “Even then, I was not afraid of hardship or poverty. My spirit was rich. I lived a simple life, and that made my heart light and free. When I received the encouraging letter from old John, I decided to stay faithful to the Lord until death. I would not fear people’s lies or insults. I held firmly to His word and believed that the Lord would clear my name.”

“In the end, the heavy trials passed, the suffering stopped, and I passed the test. I received the crown of life, the highest honour. I escaped the second death and the judgment of being separated from God forever. Now I can stand here in white, because the blood of the Lamb has washed away my sins and made my robe clean. From now on, under God’s shelter, I will never hunger or thirst again. The sun and the burning heat cannot harm me. God’s word is like a spring of living water that refreshes my life. God Himself has wiped away all my tears. In front of me is a strong and bright spiritual road that leads straight into eternity.”

Next time, we will visit Pergamum, a place full of danger and spiritual testing.

開啟深廣2026的信仰與生活首篇——以弗所教會的聯想

     今次晨禱讀經，是閱讀啟示錄，其中有關於向七教會的啟示，聖靈在我心中有很大的感動、提醒，就像揭示一段一段跟隨主的旅程。

     起點是那位有才幹，得人喜愛，他充滿活力，是一個有理想、有熱情的小伙子，他對周邊發生的事情，都有興趣；他勤奮、盡責，又有耐心，正直不暴躁 ，但對那些虛偽作假的人，勇敢撕破他們的偽裝行為；擁抱着心中異象，就向着目標，持續不𢶷，彷彿有用不完的精力，身邊的家人，都引以為榮，成為同齡人效法的對象。

     他努力地一步一步走著，時間從身邊慢慢過去，有時非快的流失，有時又好像凝固不動，他開始無法駕馭，心中開始感到壓力，無奈，當留意到那些靜靜消逝的日子時，他對生活開始冷淡下來，昔日服侍的熱情消失了！我問聖靈為什麼會這樣呢？原來，人在陶醉自己的成就，目光只看重事情的結果，只作世人眼中為義為正之事，不懂珍惜生活的過程，方向就開始偏移，隨著時間的過去，偏差就浮現，我們不要錯失生命中與人相處的良機，事工是替代不了真實愛的聯繫，世界給予的虛榮是表面和短暫，唯有從人與人的互動，就算是一起哭，所結出生命的果子，才是神為我們預備，使我們心滿足，靈快樂的得勝生命。

預告下站的目的地是士每拿

Opening Deep and Wide 2026 — Reflections from the Church in Ephesus

As we begin our new year’s theme, Deep and Wide 2026: Faith and Life, our morning devotion led us to read from the Book of Revelation — the letters to the seven churches. The Holy Spirit deeply moved my heart, revealing to me a journey of walking closely with the Lord, one step at a time.  

It begins with someone full of talent and joy — a young man brimming with dreams, energy, and passion. He’s charming, sincere, and ready to take on life. He cares about what’s happening around him and works hard with patience and integrity. He’s not quick-tempered but brave enough to confront hypocrisy. With a clear vision burning in his heart, he presses on toward his goal with unstoppable strength, making his family proud and inspiring those around him.  

But as time passed, something changed. The days began to slip by — sometimes too fast, sometimes painfully slow. He started feeling lost inside. The pressure grew, and without noticing, his heart cooled down. The passion he once had in serving the Lord faded away. I asked the Holy Spirit, “Why does this happen?” And the Spirit gently showed me this truth:  When people become focused only on their achievements or on doing what seems “right” in others’ eyes, they easily lose sight of the journey itself. Life turns into a list of results instead of a path of love. Slowly, the direction shifts — not all at once, but little by little. When that happens, we miss the priceless opportunity to truly connect with others. Ministry can never replace genuine love. The praise of the world is short-lived, but the fruit that grows out of heartfelt relationships — even through tears — is what God truly blesses us with. 

That kind of life fills our hearts with peace and joy.

在2025年終，「喜悅」已構建出一個涵蓋較全面的框架，從嬰孩吃奶的到銀髪一族，在喜悅611大家庭裏，都被看顧，牧養成長，甚至遠在紐西蘭的生命點，每主日他們聚在一起，透過晨禱、線上學房、摸索出獨特的成長路，兩位忠心的小組長按時分糧，神正引領着我們走每一步 。

深廣2026，既對前景充滿盼望，也提醒我們要在現有基礎上，穩固擴展好這根基。在約翰福音10:10節，盜 賊 來 ， 無 非 要 偷 竊 ， 殺 害 ， 毀 壞 ；我(耶穌) 來 了 ， 是 要 叫 羊 （ 或 作 ： 人 ） 得 生 命 ， 並 且 得 的 更 豐 盛 。 耶穌會陪伴着我們面對屬靈爭戰。

     聖靈正帶領着我們走進以斯帖記普珥節的流裏，一起重新審視，我是怎樣與人溝通的呢，彼此的関係是薄弱還是深厚，觸摸自己的內心世界，體會行在先関係後事工，所帶出爆炸性的果效，更深更廣就是在現有的根基下，挖掘出種類更多、質量更佳和更豐富的隱藏珍寶，祝福大家在神給予我們的服侍領域裏，與神的心意更吻合。已報名參加「醫治一」裝備課的，深刻認識影響著屬靈生命健康成長的特徵，除去那些深藏的雜質，得着神寶貴的應許，回復神創造中的美好。

By the end of 2025, Favor 611 has built a fairly complete framework. From babies who are just learning to feed, to our senior members with silver hair, everyone in the family of Favor is being cared for and pastored as they grow. Even our Life Point in New Zealand gathers every Sunday. Through morning devotion , online Bible classes, and by exploring a unique path of growth, two faithful small group leaders share God’s provision in season. God is truly guiding us step by step.

As we enter “Deep and Wide 2026,” we are full of hope for the future, and at the same time reminded to strengthen and expand what has already been built. John 10:10 tells us:

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Jesus walks with us as we face spiritual battles.

     The Holy Spirit is also leading us into the flow of the Book of Esther and Purim. Together, we reflect again: How do I communicate with others? Are our relationships shallow or deep? We are invited to touch our inner world and to experience the powerful impact of putting relationship first, before ministry.

To go deeper and wider means to dig within the foundation we already have, to discover more kinds of hidden treasures—better in quality and richer in abundance—so that we may bless others and align more closely with God’s heart in the areas of service He has entrusted to us.

For those who have signed up for the “Healing 1” training course, may you gain a deeper understanding of what affects the healthy growth of our spiritual life, remove the hidden impurities within, receive God’s precious promises, and be restored to the beauty of God’s original creation.

今天主崇是長大成熟系列最後一講。起初，我們的視角先由一個獨立的個體開始，感謝神，Janice 為這主題作破峰第一講，以前的她，常覺得牧養為什麼總要和組員吃飯，教導、解釋聖經和禱告便可以嗎！但如今我們的Janice 已經突破昔日的框框，可從”我“到“我們”，不是事工導向，而是以人為本，在開組時常常開放家庭與組員一起愛筵，若對應今天深廣2026的主題，就是一個可量度的轉變。

     之後，弟兄姊妹就在church camp一起共渡三日兩夜營會生活，更是透過模擬人生Sim life，讓大家對人生作多角度的體會，而我就在那次崇拜中，把大家從個人視角，擴展到一個家庭，我們從頭腦明白到行動實踐，最佳的操練地點，就是自己的家庭，透過天天一起生活，認識了解家中的不同身份，從互動摩擦中，提升改善，最終能彼此配合，使家庭溫度增加，成為一個神喜悅的家庭。

     往後的第三、第四講，Ceci 和亞Paul 就從教會生活探討，因著內心回應耶穌的愛，主動參與小組，也開始關心身邊的新朋友，參與教會不同的活動，在互動中漸漸成長，無私的擺上，發自內心的服事，經歷以主為中心的生命，在衆多不同服侍中，我們就更成熟。連同剛過去的第五講，611的十一個核心價值，就更俱體幫助大家，在動盪的時代裏，站立得穩，把錨牢牢的繫在屬靈的根基上，今天最後一講，挑戰大家，都要成為，得着一個主所應許的蒙福人生，並且能代代傳承。

回顧我們在主崇分享長大成熟系列的六講，橫跨2025 年十二月到2026一月，由我和五位同工分別負責，透過我們不同的生命經歷，展示每個人從不同的低位的改變。原來不知不覺神已帶領著大家一起走進深廣2026裏。大家就彼此扶持，在神的保守引領裏，勇敢向前。阿們

Today’s Sunday service is the last message in the Growing to Maturity series.

At the beginning, we started from the view of an individual. We thank God for Janice, who shared the first message and opened this theme. In the past, she often wondered why pastoral care always involved eating with group members. She thought teaching the Bible and praying should be enough. But today, Janice has broken through her old way of thinking. Her focus has moved from “I” to “We.” Her ministry is no longer task-focused but people-focused. When her group meets, she often opens her home and shares meals with members. If we connect this with the Deep and Wide 2026 theme, this is a real and measurable change.

After that, brothers and sisters spent three days and two nights together at the church camp. Through the “Sim Life” experience, everyone reflected on life from different angles. During that Sunday service, I led everyone to move from an individual view to a family view. We learned that it is not enough to understand with our minds; we must put it into action. The best place to practice is our own family. By living together every day, we learn the different roles in the family. Through interaction and even friction, we grow, improve, and learn to work together. In this way, the warmth of the family increases, and it becomes a family that pleases God.

In the third and fourth messages, Ceci and Paul shared from the perspective of church life. Because of their response to Jesus’ love, people began to join small groups actively, care for new friends, and take part in different church activities. Through interaction, they slowly grew. With selfless giving and sincere service, they experienced a Christ-centered life. Through serving in many different ways, we grow more mature. Together with the fifth message just shared, the eleven core values of 611 helped everyone in a very practical way. In a shaking world, we can stand firm and anchor our lives on a strong spiritual foundation. Today, in this final message, we are challenged to all receive the blessed life God has promised and to pass it on from generation to generation.

Looking back at the six messages in the Growing to Maturity series, shared from December 2025 to January 2026, they were delivered by me and five co-workers. Through our different life stories, we shared how each of us changed from different low points. Without us even noticing, God has been leading us together into Deep and Wide 2026. As we support one another, under God’s protection and guidance, we move forward bravely.

Amen.

18/01/2026堂主任的話

我們這週晨禱閱讀以斯帖記，故事是拯救猶大人在被擄時期，在瑪代波斯王朝下，亞哈隨魯王的大臣哈曼屠殺猶大人的計劃裏，如何反敗為勝，整卷以斯帖記沒有隻字提及神的名，而結果哈曼卻被自己所定的日子，反被消滅，神是拯救猶大人的主，神是何其深廣。

上主日我以”深廣2026的底氣”為題 ，分享究竟詩篇第八篇所讚美天上的主，我們的神是如何又深又廣，透過認識那墮落的天使長Lucifer 路西法，明白神在創造救贖中我們這嬰兒吃奶的人生命，的目的，但如何才有這底氣能彰顯岀神的榮耀，來見證撒但的不是，我們其實不都是一樣有驕傲貪婪叛逆不信麽。

有弟兄姊妹會後問我，這一年該如何實踐「深廣」？  

要明白「深廣」原是形容可以被量度的實體——有深度，有廣度；而靈命的深廣，也能被看見。  

例如：  

- 你渴慕神話語的深度如何？是天天參加晨禱，還是偶爾一次？  

- 當別人頂撞你時，你的反應是立刻報復，還是像耶穌那樣順服天父、以愛為先？  

- 在夫妻親密關係中，你的信任是否會被未證實的謠言動搖？  

- 在時間運用上，你是否常以滿足自己為優先？  

這些都是真實可見、可量度的「深廣」。

就像嬰孩每天需要奶才能健康成長，我們屬靈生命也一樣，需要神話語作為「屬靈的糧」。我們承認自己的心思意念容易偏差、力量微小，因此常要依靠聖靈的提醒與引導。但當我們漸漸長大，是否會開始對人指指點點，自以為是，看輕神的話，不再禱告求問？若這樣，我們就容易落入驕傲與謊言的陷阱，站錯了屬靈的陣線。

然而，神的愛是何等廣闊！耶穌為世人的罪付上贖價，使我們成為新造的人，得以在主裡活出敬虔生命，建立以神的愛為中心的家庭。611所提的「深廣」，正是呼籲我們：不是靠自己，而是凡事依靠與連於神。不要批評論斷，不要活在分辨善惡樹下，而是彼此建立，持續渴慕、相信、效法、全心依靠。如此走過每一天，我們必會經歷，神那深廣的智慧與能力，在我們生命中奇妙彰顯。

This week in morning devotion , we read the Book of Esther. It is a story of how the Jewish people were saved during the time of exile under the Medo-Persian Empire. Haman, an official of King Ahasuerus, planned to destroy the Jews, but in the end, the situation was completely reversed. Throughout the whole book of Esther, God’s name is not mentioned even once, yet Haman was destroyed on the very day he had chosen for others. This reminds us that God is the One who saves His people, and His work is truly deep and wide.

Last Sunday, I shared a message titled “The Confidence of Deep and wide in 2026.” From Psalm 8, we learned how great and glorious our God is—the Lord of heaven. By understanding the fall of the archangel Lucifer, we can better see God’s purpose for our lives, we who are like babies still needing milk, in His work of creation and salvation. But how can we have this foundation to show God’s glory and testify against Satan’s lies? Are we not all the same, often filled with pride, greed, rebellion, and unbelief?

After the service, some brothers and sisters asked me how we can practise “depth and breadth” in this year.

First, we must understand that “depth and breadth” describe something that can be measured—it has depth and it has width. In the same way, spiritual depth and breadth can also be seen.

For example:

• How strong is your desire for God’s Word? Do you join morning prayer every day, or only once in a while?

• When others offend you, do you react with revenge right away, or do you respond like Jesus, obeying the Father and choosing love first?

• In marriage, is your trust easily shaken by unproven rumours?

• In how you use your time, do you often put your own satisfaction first?

All these are real, visible, and measurable signs of “depth and breadth.”

Just as a baby needs milk every day to grow healthy, our spiritual life also needs God’s Word as spiritual food. We admit that our thoughts can easily go off track and that our strength is small, so we must often rely on the Holy Spirit’s reminder and guidance. But as we grow, do we begin to point fingers at others, think too highly of ourselves, look down on God’s Word, and stop praying and seeking Him? If so, we can easily fall into the traps of pride and lies, and stand on the wrong spiritual side.

Yet how wide is God’s love! Jesus paid the price for the sins of the world, making us new creations, so that we can live godly lives in Him and build families centred on God’s love. What 611 speaks of as “depth and breadth” is a call to us: not to rely on ourselves, but to depend on God in everything and stay connected to Him. Do not judge or criticise. Do not live under the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Instead, build one another up, continue to desire, believe, follow, and fully rely on God. As we walk this way each day, we will surely experience God’s deep and wide wisdom and power being wonderfully revealed in our lives.

04/01/2026堂主任的話

在這一週，跨越2025到2026的時間，神給了我們在馬可福音中兩處經文。首先 是「你 們 要 謹 慎 ，看 哪 ， 凡 事 我 都 預 先 告 訴 你 們 了。13:23」；其次是「耶 穌 對 他 們 (門徒）說 ： 你 們 都 要 跌 倒 了 ， 因 為 經 上 記 著 說 ： 我 要 擊 打 牧 人 ， 羊 就 分 散 了 。但 我 復 活 以 後 ， 要 在 你 們 以 先 往 加 利 利 去14:27-28」

     新的一年，在我們不曉得會發生什麼事前，彷彿神預先告訴我們，要𧫴慎、要提防跌倒；但同時耶穌會如昔日對門徒說，祂復活後會在「加利利」等候衆門徒。

     今天對我們而言，我們也要領受屬靈的加利利，這不只是一個地理位置，更是每一個門徒生命轉變的起點，是與耶穌建立深厚關係、學習天國真理、見證神國度降臨的關鍵地域，並為後續的宣教使命打下了堅實的基礎。

在1/1/2026的月朔禱告會，我竟抽到神給予心意咭：詩篇23:2-3。我就知道神非常愛大家，每位弟兄姊妹、委身義工們、同工們，在新的一年裏就一同領受：

「祂 使 我 躺 臥 在 青 草 地 上 ， 領 我 在 可 安 歇 的 水 邊 。 3  祂 使 我 的 靈 魂 甦 醒 ， 為 自 己 的 名 引 導 我 走 義 路 。」的安慰帶領。

當收到母堂奇妙611的新年祝福：「2026神為你在生命樹下開每一趟門的鑰匙。」

我更肯定在喜悅611這裏將會是大家的「屬靈加利利」。

This week, as we move from 2025 into 2026, God has given us two passages from the Gospel of Mark. The first is: “Be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.” (Mark 13:23) The second is: “Jesus said to his disciples, ‘You will all fall away, for it is written: “I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.” But after I rise, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.’” (Mark 14:27-28)

In this new year, even before we know what will happen, it is as if God is telling us in advance: be watchful, be careful not to fall. But at the same time, just as Jesus told his disciples, after He rises, He will be waiting for all His followers in “Galilee.”

For us today, we too are called to receive a spiritual Galilee. This is not just a physical place, but the starting point of transformation in every believer’s life. It is where we build a deep relationship with Jesus, learn the truths of His kingdom, witness God’s kingdom coming, and lay a firm foundation for the mission that follows.

During the New Moon Prayer Meeting on January 1, 2026, I drew a card with God’s message for us: Psalm 23:2-3. I knew then how much God loves each one of you—every brother and sister, every committed volunteer and co-worker. In this new year, let’s receive this together:

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.”

And when we received the New Year blessing from our mother church, Wonderful 611:

“In 2026, God will give you the key to every door under the tree of life.”

I am even more certain that Favor 611 will be your “spiritual Galilee.”
