God wants us to be transformed by His Spirit into the image of Jesus our Lord, and to live a life that is holy and pleasing to our Father in heaven
(2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29; Matthew 6:10; 1 Peter 1:16).
一个教会的愿景和使命是神给予那个教会的焦点,即神要求我们成为什么样的人,
以及神要求我们在地上要做的是什么。
神要求我们被圣灵改变成我们的主耶稣的形象,并过一个圣洁的生命,是我们在天上的父所喜悦的(哥林多后书 3:18;罗马书 8:29;马太福音 6:10;彼得前书
1:16)。
God wants us to have the maturity of Jesus His Son, being always humble and meek, always repenting of sin and seeking first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, always showing mercy to others and keeping our hearts pure, and living as peacemakers and rejoicing under persecution (Matthew 5:3-12).
神愿意我们有祂儿子耶稣长成的身量,总是谦卑和温柔,常常为罪悔改并先求神的国和祂的义,常常向他人施怜悯并保守我们的心纯净,活做使人和睦的人并在受逼迫时喜乐(马太福音 5:3-12)。
God wants us to always do His will, and in this way, we live a life that is holy, that is set apart to do God’s will on earth (Matthew 6;10; 1 Peter 1:6).
In this way, we live a life that is pleasing to God (Romans 12:1).
神要求我们常常行祂的旨意,如此,我们就过一个圣洁的生命,在地上分别去做神的旨意(马太福音 6:10;彼得前书 1:6)。
如此,我们就过一个神所喜悦的生命(罗马书 12:1)。

MATTHEW 11:11
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
马太福音 11:11
11 我实在告诉你们,凡妇人所生的,没有一个兴起来大过施浸的约翰;然而天国里最小的比他还大。
JOHN 3:6 ESV
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
约翰福音 3:6
6 从肉身生的就是肉身,从灵生的就是灵。
Jesus said that among men born of women, the greatest is John the
Baptist, the cousin of Jesus, who prepared the way for the ministry of Jesus (Matthew 11:11).
Therefore, John the Baptist is greater than Abraham, Issac and Jacob, Moses and Samuel, David and Solomon, Elijah and Elisha.
耶稣说凡妇人所生的,最大的是施浸的约翰,即耶稣的表哥,就是那为耶稣的事工预备道路的(马太福音 11:11)。
因此,施浸的约翰比亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各、摩西和撒母耳、大卫和所罗门、以利亚和以利沙更大,
Yet today, anyone who is least and last in the Kingdom of heaven, (who is born of the Holy Spirit), is greater than John the Baptist.
Therefore, everyone in the Church today, who have been baptised in water, who have been born of the Holy Spirit, is greater than Abraham,
Isaac and Jocob, Moses and Samuel, David and Solomon, Elijah and Elisha (John 3:6).
然而今天,天国里任何最小和最后的,(那些从圣灵生的),比施浸的约翰更大。
因此,今天在教会里的每一个人,那些已经接受施浸的,已经从圣灵生的,比亚伯拉罕、以撒和雅各、摩西和撒母耳、大卫和所罗门、以利亚和以利沙更大 (约翰福音 3:6)。
God sees every child of God as a mighty man or a mighty woman of God, who can walk in all the blessings of heaven, and walk in victory over every situation that they face in their lives today.
Nothing shall be impossible for them in Christ Jesus (Matthew 17:20).
神看一切神的儿女都是大能的男女,他们可以行走在天堂各样的祝福里,并在今天他们生命里所面对的一切情况里,行走在胜利里。
在基督耶稣里就没有一件他们不能做的事了(马太福音 17:20)。
3. Every believer is full of the wisdom of God and the mind of Christ, and is filled with fervent love for God and for all men
3. 每一个信徒都是充满了神的智慧和基督的心,并且对神和对众人充满着炽热的爱
1 COR 1:30a; 2:16b
1:30a It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God.
2:16b But we have the mind of Christ.
哥林多前书 1:30a, 16b
1:30a 你们因着神得以在基督耶稣里,祂使基督成了我们的智慧。
2:16b 但我们是有基督的心(意)了.
MATTHEW 22:37-39
37 Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’
马太福音 22:37-39
37 耶稣对他说,“你要尽心、尽性、尽意爱主你的神。
38 这是诫命中的第一,且是最大的。
39 其次也相仿,就是要爱人(邻舍)如己。
JOHN 13:34
34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
约翰福音 13:34
34 我赐给你们一条新命令,就是你们要彼此相爱;我怎样爱你们,你们也要怎样彼此相爱。
God has answered us instantly the moment we prayed the Lord’s Prayer or any other prayer, when we ask God for a blessing (Mark 11:24).
Therefore, His Kingdom has come into this earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).
当我们向神求一个祝福,一旦我们祷告了主祷文或任何其它的祷告,神就已经立即回答我们(马可福音 11:24)。
因此,祂的国已经临到地上,如同在天上(马太福音 6:10)。
Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is in every person on earth and in every believer in Jesus (Luke 17:21; Matthew 19:23-24).
Therefore, heaven is in everyone on earth and in every child of God.
因此,天国就在地上每一个人里面,以及在每一个耶稣的信徒里面(路加福音 17:21;马太福音 19:23-24)。
因此,天堂就在地上每一个人,每一个神的儿女里面。
[Kingdom of God = Kingdom of Heaven;
Matthew 19:23 = Matthew 19:24;
Matthew 11:11-12 = Luke 7:28, etc.]
[神的国 = 天国;
马太福音 19:23 = 马太福音 19:24;
马太福音 11:11-12 = 路加福音 7:28,等]
Therefore, we are all full of the wisdom of God and the mind of Christ, as it is in heaven (1 Corinthians 1:30; 2:16).
Therefore, we love God with all our heart and love others just as Jesus has loved us, and we love our neighbours as ourselves, as it is in heaven (Matthew 22:37-39; John 13:34).
因此,我们都充满了神的智慧和基督的心,如同在天上(哥林多前书 1:30;2:16)。
因此,我们尽心地去爱神,并爱其他人,如同耶稣怎样爱我们,也爱我们的邻舍如己,如同在天上(马太福音 22:37-39;约翰福音 13:34)。
4. Every believer always shows mercy to the poor and needy and rules with Jesus as a king and priest on this earth today
4. 每一个信徒常常向贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯,并且今天在地上做王和祭司,与耶稣一同执掌王权
MICAH 6:8 BSB
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does Yehovah require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
弥迦书 6:8
8 人啊!耶和华已指示你何为善,祂向你所要的是甚么呢?只要你行公平、爱怜悯,谦卑地与你的神同行。
LUKE 12:33
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
路加福音 12:33
33 你们要变卖所有的施舍给(穷)人,为自己预备永不坏的钱囊,用不尽的财宝在天上,就是贼不能近、虫不能蛀的地方。
MATTHEW 25:34
34 Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’
[Those on His right >> Those who show mercy to the poor and needy in the family of God]
马太福音 25:34
34 于是王要向那右手边的说,‘你们这蒙我父祝福的,可来承受那创世以来为你们所预备的国。’
[在祂右边的人 >> 那些向神家里贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯的人]
MATTHEW 25:41
41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
[Those on His left >> Those who did not show mercy to the poor and needy in the family of God]
马太福音 25:41
41 王又要向左手边的说,‘你们这被咒诅的人,离开我!进入那为魔鬼和他的天使们所预备的永火里去!’
[在祂左边的人 >> 那些没有向神家里贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯的人]
Because God’s love is in every believer in Jesus, God wants us to obey Him and always love to show mercy to all those who need our help, even though they do not deserve our help (Micah 6:8).
This is the heart of God concerning the use of our money, that is, to always use our money to show mercy to the poor and needy (Luke 12:33; Jeremiah 22:16).
因为神的爱就在每一个耶稣的信徒里面,神要求我们要遵行祂,并常常喜爱向所有需要我们帮助的人施怜悯,虽然他们不配得我们的帮助(弥迦书 6:8)。
这就是神关乎使用我们的金钱的心思,即常常使用我们的金钱向贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯(路加福音 12:33;耶利米书 22:16)。
When we show mercy to the poor and needy in the family of God, Jesus says that we are blessed and will inherit the Kingdom of God prepared for us since the foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34).
However, if we are stingy and heartless, and do not show mercy to the poor and needy in the family of God, Jesus said that we are cursed, and we will be cast into eternal fire (Matthew 25:41).
当我们向神家里贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯,耶稣说我们是有福的,并可以来承受那创世以来为我们所预备的神的国(马太福音 25:34)。
然而,如果我们是吝啬和无情的,也不向神家里贫穷和贫困的人施怜悯,耶稣说我们是受咒诅的,并将被丢进永火里去(马太福音 25:41)。
5. Every believer rules with Jesus as a king and priest on this earth today
5. 今天每一个信徒在地上做王和祭司,与耶稣一同执掌王权
REVELATION 5:10 NKJ
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
启示录 5:10 NKJ
10 又叫我们成为我们神的君王和祭司,在地上掌权。
And as we walk in obedience to the commands of Jesus, we will rule and reign with Jesus over every situation we face on this earth.
This is because, by His blood, Jesus has made each child of God a priest and a king (Revelation 5:10 NKJ).
当我们行走在遵守耶稣的命令里,我们就必与耶稣一同作王掌管地上我们所面对的一切情况。
这是因为,藉着祂的血,耶稣已经使每个神的儿女成为一个祭司和王(启示录 5:10)。
6. This church is a huge, 100-feet long bus in the spirit, purple in colour, full of the kingly anointing
6. 这个教会在属灵里是一辆巨大的一百尺长的巴士,是紫色的,充满了王者的恩膏

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
启示录 5:10 NKJ

Because God has made us kings and priest through the blood of Jesus, we will always carry the kingly anointing.
We can always rule over situation we face by the power of the kingly anointing (Revelation 5:10 NKJ).
因为神已经藉着耶稣的血成为王和祭司,我们必常常携带着王者的恩膏。
我们必常常掌管我们所面对的情况,靠着王者的恩膏的权能(启示录 5:10)。
Purple is the colour of royalty, the colour of a King’s robe.
God sees His Church as a Church that is purple in colour, full of the kingly anointing.
紫色是皇族的颜色,王的袍子的颜色。
神看祂的教会是紫色的教会,充满了王者的恩膏。
7. This church is full of God’s glory, touching lives, changing nations, bringing God’s redemption to all creation
7. 这个教会是充满了神的荣耀,感触生命,改变国家,将神的救赎带给所有受造之物
JOHN 17:22
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one.
约翰福音 17:22
22 祢所赐给我的荣耀,我已赐给他们,使他们成为一,正如我们是一.
HAGGAI 2:9a
9a The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says Yehovah of Hosts.
哈该书 2:9a
9a 这殿后来的荣耀必大过先前的荣耀,这是万军之耶和华说的。
MATTHEW 28:19-20a
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20a and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
马太福音 28:19-20a
19 所以你们要去,使万民成为我的门徒;奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗,

21 That the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
罗马书 8:21
21 但受造之物仍然指望脱离败坏的奴役,得以进入神儿女自由的荣耀。
Jesus received the glory of the Father when He rose from the dead, and in John 17, He has given His glory to every child of God (John 12:23; 13:31; 17:22).
And in these last days, when the heavens and the earth are bring shaken, God has filled His Church with His great end-time glory, a glory greater than that of the early church (Haggai 2:7-9).
当耶稣从死里复活,祂接受了父的荣耀,而在约翰福音 17章里,祂已经将祂的荣耀赐给神的每一个儿女(约翰福音 12:23;13:31;17:22)。
并且在这末日里,当诸天和大地都受到震动时,神已经藉着祂末日的大荣耀充满祂的教会,一个比初期教会更大的荣耀(哈该书 2:7-9)。
The glory is the fullness of God’s presence, power and love.
With the glory of God, we can touch lives, change nations and bring God’s redemption to all creation (Matthew 28:19-20; Romans 8:21).
荣耀即是神全然的同在、能力和爱。
藉着神的荣耀,我们能感触生命,改变国家,以及将神的救赎带给所有受造之(马太福音 28:19-20;罗马书8:21)。

SUNDAY TESTIMONIES
星期日的见证
“Sister VV was healed of breast cancer when she repented of her sin of not paying her tithes”
“VV姐妹的乳腺癌得到痊愈,当她对没有缴纳什一的罪悔改”
Brother Andrew:
“About 25 years ago, when Brother Frankie and his wife were sent by God to serve with us in the church here, a church sister (Sister VV) asked them to pray for her healing.
Sister VV had black liquid coming out from her breasts, and she realised that it was a sign of cancer, and she had great fear because of her condition.
“Brother Frankie then prayed for her healing, and being a prophet in his calling, Brother Frankie asked Sister VV, ‘Have you been paying your tithes to the church here?’
She said, ‘No.’
“So Brother Frankie asked her to repent, and pay back to God what she had stolen from God (Not paying our tithes is robbing God; Malachi 3:8).
She repented, and asked God to forgive her sins of robbing God of the tithes and offerings due to God.
“In her act of restitution, she bought a van for the church here at Bethel of Glory (a Toyota Hilux), and another van for a Bible School in Penang.
Because of her repentance, her breast cancer was healed and never returned.
“To God be the glory for blessing us with the riches of His Kingdom when we repent (Matthew 4:17)!!!.
Andrew 弟兄:
“大约25年前,当Frankie弟兄以及他的妻子被神差到这教会里来与我们一起服侍,一位教会的姐妹(VV姐妹)要求他们为她祷告祈求医治。
“VV姐妹的乳房有黑色液体流出,而她意识到这是一个患癌的征兆,接下来她就因她的状况产生巨大的恐惧。
“接着Frankie弟兄就为她祷告祈求医治,而且因他受呼召作为一个先知,Frankie弟兄就问VV姐妹,‘妳有没有在这教会经常缴纳妳的什一?’
她回答说,‘没有。’
“因此Frankie弟兄就叫她悔改,并将她从神那里所偷去的偿还给神(没有缴纳我们的什一即是抢劫神;玛拉基书 3:8)。她就悔改,并祈求神赦免她夺取神所应得的什一和奉献的罪。
“因她补偿的行动,她给这荣耀伯特利教会买了一辆客货车(丰田Hilux),以及另外一辆客货车给在槟城的一间圣经学院。因为她的悔改,她的乳腺癌得到治愈不曾再复发。
“荣耀归于神因藉着祂国度的富足赐福与我们,当我们悔改(马太福音 4:17)!!!”
