一﹑本週經文Scriptures: 列王紀下 2:9-10 2 Kings
9 過去之後,以利亞對以利沙說 :我未曾被接去離開你,你要我為你做甚麼,只管求我。以利沙說:願感動你的靈加倍地感動我 。10 以利亞說 : 你所求的難得。雖然如此,我被接去離開你的時候,你若看見我,就必得著;不然,必得不著了。
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. 10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
- 為東南亞國家禱告:東南亞地區因甲基安非他命(俗稱冰毒)
的產量與日俱增,價格暴跌,更容易取得, 使得冰毒流通至澳洲和紐西蘭,當地也開始盛行非法交易。 求主此賜給各國政府徹底防備的智慧, 讓人們不再追求非法的金錢誘惑與享受, 並從罪惡道路中迴轉歸向神。
Pray for Southeast Asia. Due to the increasing production of methamphetamine in Southeast Asia, the price has plummeted and it is easier to obtain. This has led to the distribution of methamphetamine to Australia and New Zealand, where illegal transactions have also begun to prevail. May the Lord give the governments of all countries the wisdom to take precautions, so that people will no longer pursue illegal money temptations and enjoyments, and turn back to God from the sinful path.. - 為年終感恩餐會禱告:12/18下午在教會舉行年終感恩聚餐,
