我的神必供应你们一切的需要。 

保罗在狱中写信给腓立比教会,却能满怀信心地说:“我的神必照他荣耀的丰富,在基督耶稣里,使你们一切所需用的都充足。”这并非一句只适用于安逸时期的经文,而是在艰难困苦中淬炼而成的真理;若想亲眼见证这真理如何应验,只需翻阅《但以理书》第三至六章。那里记载了四个真实故事,涉及四种绝境;在每一个故事中,神都亲自显现,并精准地供应了祂子民所需的一切——往往以一种无人能预料的方式。

先看《但以理书》第三章中的烈火窑。沙得拉、米煞和亚伯尼歌面临一个简单的抉择:要么向金像下拜,要么被烈火焚烧。他们的回答堪称圣经中最伟大的信心宣言之一:“我们的神能救我们……即或不然,我们决不……下拜。”请注意,他们真正需要的并非脱离火窑,而是神在火窑中的同在——而这正是他们所得到的。尼布甲尼撒向内窥看,发现有第四个人与他们同行;那人毫发无损,甚至连衣服上都没有烟火的气味。我曾陪伴过许多身处严酷试炼——如失业、病痛或丧亲之痛——的人,每一次的领悟都如出一辙:神并不总是将我们从火中救出;有时,祂只是亲自走进火中与我们同行,而这种同在,正是我们自始至终真正需要的供应。

接着在《但以理书》第四章,我们再次见到尼布甲尼撒。此时他已因极度谦卑而陷入疯狂,像牛一样吃草长达七年,直到他承认至高者在世人的国度中掌权。这位傲慢的君王需要什么呢?不是更多的权势,也不是更多的金银。他需要的是理智的恢复与内心的谦卑,而神按着这个次序赐予了他这两样东西。这是一种奇特的怜悯,但终究是怜悯。有时我们祈求的是安逸,得到的却是管教,因为唯有管教才能真正拯救我们。

《但以理书》第五章则带我们见证了伯沙撒王与墙上的字迹:“弥尼、弥尼、提客勒、乌法珥新”。意即:在天平上被称量,结果却显出亏欠。这位君王拥有一切,唯独缺少了最重要的一样——对神的敬畏;结果就在当晚,他的国度便被夺去了。这幅画面令人警醒,但即便在审判之中,神仍有供应,因为祂差遣但以理直言真理——既不阿谀奉承,也不为迎合王室的耳目而粉饰太平。当一个国家需要被唤醒时,神会兴起传讲真理的人;直到今天,祂依然如此行事。

接下来是《但以理书》第六章记载的狮子坑事件,这或许是所有故事中最受人喜爱的。尽管深知后果严重,但以理仍坚持每日三次敞开窗户,面向耶路撒冷祷告。他被投入狮子坑,却在次日清晨说道:“我的神差遣使者,封住狮子的口。”那一夜,但以理真正需要的是什么?不是安逸的慰藉,也不是逃避苦难的捷径。他需要的是在次日清晨仍能开口,将荣耀归给神——而这正是神所赐予的。

贯穿这四章经文,我们可以看到一个一贯的模式:神不仅仅满足人主观感受到的需求,祂更满足人真实的需要——在烈火窑中的同在、使骄傲者学会谦卑、向妥协者显明真理、护佑忠信之人。这就是我们所事奉的神,祂从未改变。我年轻时曾受教导——主要是通过观察普通人如何为病人祷告并凭单纯的顺服付诸行动——明白信心并非一种空谈的理论,而是一种实际的行动。但以理和他的朋友们不仅仅相信神能满足他们的需要;在尚未见到任何凭据之前,他们便已按着“神必供应”的信念去行,而神也在他们的行动中与他们相遇。无论本周你正面临怎样的烈火窑、狮子坑或难以逾越的墙垣,请务必振作起来。那位曾封住狮子口的同一位神,如今依然有能力、也乐意照着祂在基督耶稣里荣耀的丰富,精准地供应你所需的一切。

 Prophetic word for students -

Our Sunday service starts at 11.00 and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We begin each service with lively worship, featuring songs from around the world, followed by inspiring, Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church, that is, both online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, or X, or catch up with the recordings later.

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you.
