05/07/2022
引言：
我们懂得人生要为以后去做准备，好顺利地度过一个又一个不同的阶段。主其实从过去到现在也一直在预备跟随祂的人，要迎接神国降临。
一、预备门徒面对主的殉道与复活
1. 登山变相显荣耀（V1-8）
主透过登山变相让亲密的三位门徒看见祂的荣美，祂的圣洁，除了是在预备他们之后面对主的殉道，更是在建造他们对主的信心，看见主就是神的儿子，所以他们都当听主所吩咐的话。
2. 以利亚已经来到（V9-13）
主亲密的三位门徒对主弥赛亚已经临到的兆头，就是以利亚必须先来，有所疑问。主回答：其实施洗约翰就是为他预备道路的以利亚，他是已经按着预言来到了。在末后主再来以前，以利亚必会再来到，预备主回来的道路！
3. 预言受死后复活 (V30-32)
主对着门徒预言自己将要受死，然后三天后要复活，虽然门徒不理解，但祂仍然在耐心地预备门徒去经历日后会将要发生的事。今天主仍在耐心地预备祂的教会，迎接祂的再来！
二、教导门徒神国里全新的生活方式
1. 禁食祷告破营垒（V14-29）
主赶鬼的经历，让我们看到，在面对属灵的坚固营垒时，我们需要有禁食的信心，去做赶鬼和释放的工作！这种神国的生活方式教导我们，要突破生命中的辖制，就要去把属灵的需要摆在属肉体的需要前面！
2. 谦卑服事才为大（V33-37）
再次跟世界的生活方式不一样，神国的生活方式让我们看到，谦卑服事人的才是最大的。
3. 接纳不同的肢体（V38-41）
神国的生活方式教导我们要接纳同属基督，但有所不同的肢体。
4. 不要使别人跌倒（V42）
神国的生活方式教导我们不再让绊倒别人，就是不要使别人失去对主的信心，甚至是落入到罪中！
5. 保守自己不失脚（V43-49）
神国的生活方式教导我们，要竭力保守我们的生命活在圣洁中，好让我们不会在救恩的路上失脚。
6. 活出基督的香气（V50）
神国的生活方式教导我们，要做主的光和盐，使人和睦，成为主美好的见证。
总结：
主过去如何预备门徒经历祂受死复活的神迹，并教导门徒神国里与世界不一样的生活方式，今天祂也同样地在预备我们迎接祂的再来！愿我们都做对回应，继续预备我们的心，也活出神国里的生活方式，好迎接神国最终完全的降临！
Mark 9: Preparing Disciples For The Coming Of The Kingdom Of God GK611 Morning Devotion 05/07/2022 Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan
Introduction:
We know that life is about preparing for the future, so that we can go through one different stage after another smoothly. The Lord has actually been preparing those who follow Him from the past to the present to welcome the coming of the kingdom of God.
1. Preparing the Disciples to Face the Martyrdom and Resurrection of the Lord
(1) The transfigure on the mountain shows the glory (V1-8)
Through the transfigure on the mountain, the Lord let the three intimate disciples see His glory and His holiness, not only to prepare them to face His martyrdom afterwards, but also to build their faith in Him, and to see that He is the Son of God, so that they should all listen to what the Lord commanded.
(2) Elijah has come (V9-13)
The three close disciples of the Lord questioned the sign that the Lord's Messiah had come, that Elijah must come first. The Lord answered: In fact, John the Baptist is the Elijah who prepared the way for Him, and he has come according to the prophecy. Before the Lord's return at the end of time, Elijah will come again to prepare the way for His return!
(3) Prophecy of death and resurrection (V30-32)
The Lord prophesied to the disciples that He would die and then rise again three days later. Although the disciples did not understand, He was still patiently preparing them to experience what would happen later. Today, the Lord is still patiently preparing His church for His return!
2. Teaching the disciples a new way of life in the kingdom of God
(1) Fasting and prayer to break the stronghold (V14-29)
The Lord's experience of casting out demons shows us that we need to have fasting faith to do the work of casting out demons and deliverance in the face of a strong spiritual stronghold! This way of life in the kingdom of God teaches us that to break through the strongholds in our lives, we need to go ahead and put our spiritual needs ahead of our bodily needs!
(2) It is the one who humbly serves that is great (V33-37)
Once again, unlike the world's way of life, the way of life in the kingdom of God shows us that it is the one who humbly serves people that is the greatest.
(3) Acceptance of different members (V38-41)
The way of life in the kingdom of God teaches us to accept different members who belong to the same Christ.
(4) Do not cause others to stumble (V42)
The way of life in the kingdom of God teaches us not to let others stumble any more, that is, not to cause them to lose faith in the Lord, or even to fall into sin!
(5) Keep Yourself from Losing Your Footing (V43-49)
The way of life in the kingdom of God teaches us to make every effort to keep our lives living in holiness so that we will not lose our footing on the way of salvation.
(6) Living the fragrance of Christ (V50)
The way of life in the kingdom of God teaches us to be the light and salt of God, to make peace and to be a good testimony for the Lord.
Conclusion:
How the Lord prepared His disciples to experience the miracle of His death and resurrection and taught them a different way of life in the kingdom of God from the world, He is preparing us today for His return in the same way! May we all respond correctly and continue to prepare our hearts to live the way of life in the kingdom of God, so that we can welcome the final and complete coming of the kingdom of God!
