士师记第十章|Book of Judges 10【兴起，发旺！】
11/01/2023
引言：不是停在发芽，而是继续成长结果子。
一、从卑微中被兴起（V1-2）
陀拉的意思是‘虫’。他应该是一出生就不被父母看重，采取了这样的名字。他虽然卑微，但是并没有放弃。当神拣选他成为士师时，他愿意起来拯救了以色列。
自卑的领袖在带领团队的时候是非常多挑战，但是我们要把眼光从自卑转移到神的身上，领受从神而来的信心，建立属神儿女身份的自尊，起来成为属神的领袖。
二、兴起中要有发旺（V3-5）
睚珥是一位有钱有势力的士师。圣经并没有记载很多他的作为，反而记载了他有三十位儿子，而且他们都有驴驹。有三十座属于自己的城邑，可以是物质上是非常兴旺与丰盛的。睚珥有许多资源，大可以培养出三十位属神的儿子。但是最后却没有一个儿子可以起来成为领袖。睚珥去世后，以色列变得比以前更加败坏。
今天，当神拣选我们成为领袖的时候，我们不要停留在享受丰盛的资源和稳定的牧养中，而是要起来走进神的心意，建立门徒，使神的儿女都可以起来成为下一代的领袖。
三、失去领袖民就乱（V6-9）
自从士师睚珥过世以后，以色列人当时是没有一位民族领袖的。睚珥没有做出什么的功绩，但是却一直地为自己和儿子累积财富，所以就导致以色列民的生命没有被很好地建立起来。
1.百姓违逆神的话（V6）
当百姓们没有领袖再加上没有太大难处的时候，就开始觉得没有神也一样可以过日子。与神的关系忽冷忽热，开始寻找一些特别的事物来满足自己。这一次的悖逆，一下引进了七个外邦的偶像，可以想像百姓已经把神忘了一干二净。
2.神的管教来临（V7-9）
以色列人到处引进偶像，神就到处兴起难处来管教他们。神让他们自食其果, 拜谁的假神，那里的人就起来攻击他们。结果以色列民就被欺压了十八年。
我们要留心，不要等到神的管教来临，经历十八年的欺压，才后悔莫及。
四、复兴从回转开始（V10-16）
百姓体会到偶像是无益的神，所以百姓这次不但向神哀求、认罪，也愿意接受神的管教，并且用实际行动除掉他们中间的外邦神，事奉耶和华。
当百姓把心中那个中心的位置让给神的时候，神向着百姓的心肠立刻就从管教转移到怜悯和同情。因为我们的神不是高高在上地看着我们受苦，而是在死荫的幽谷中陪我们一起经过，心中担忧我们的软弱。
五、复兴后兴起领袖（V17-18）
当下亚扪人正安营在基烈，以色列人随时面对争战，所以以色列人知道他们急需一位属神的领袖。一位属神的领袖，对于神的百姓来说，就是这么地重要。
当以色列人没有领袖的时候，他们就没有方向，也没有遮盖和保护；甚至在当时的士师年代，当以色列没有领袖的时候，以色列人不仅是属灵上没有得到带领和保护，甚至是他们在肉体上也是随时会受到仇敌的攻击。
总结：不是停在兴起领袖，而是继续发旺，建立更多属神的领袖起来带领！
以色列民过去不断面对复兴又回到败坏的循环，因为领袖没有传承，百姓也没有起来继承导致民都忘记了神。我们不但都要起来兴起成为领袖，而且还要不断建立门徒，传承神的教导，要发旺！
Judges 10: Rise and Shine! GK611 Morning Devotion 11/01/2023 Speaker: Asher Chang
Introduction: Not stopping at germination, but continuing to grow and bear fruit.
1. To be raised up from humility（V1-2）
The meaning of Tola is 'worm'. He should have been unappreciated by his parents at birth and adopted such a name. Although he was humble, he did not give up. When God chose him to be a judge, he willingly rose up and saved Israel.
It is very challenging for leaders with low self-esteem to lead a team, but we need to shift our vision from low self-esteem to God, receive the faith that comes from God, build up the self-esteem of being a child of God, and rise up to be a leader of God.
2. There will be prosperity in the rise（V3-5）
Jair was a wealthy and powerful judge. The Bible does not record many of his deeds, but rather it records that he had thirty sons, and they all had donkeys. Having thirty towns of his own, he could be materially very prosperous and plentiful. Jair had many resources and could have produced thirty sons of God. But in the end, none of the sons could rise up and become leaders. After Jair's death, Israel became even more corrupt than before.
Today, when God chooses us to be leaders, we should not stay in the enjoyment of abundant resources and stable Shepherding, but rise up into the heart of God and build up disciples so that all of God's sons and daughters can rise up and become the next generation of leaders.
3. Without a leader, the people were in chaos（V6-9）
Since the death of Jair, the judge, the Israelites were without a national leader. Jair did not do much, but kept accumulating wealth for himself and his sons, so that the life of the Israelites was not well established.
(1) The people disobeyed God's Word（V6）
When the people had no leaders and no great difficulties, they began to think that they could live without God. Their relationship with God was hot and cold, and they began to look for something special to satisfy themselves. In this rebellion, seven Gentile idols were introduced at once, so you can imagine that the people had forgotten all about God.
(2) The Coming of God's Discipline（V7-9）
The Israelites introduced idols everywhere, and God raised up difficulties everywhere to discipline them. God told them to reap what they sow, and to worship false gods, and the people there rose up against them. As a result, the people of Israel were oppressed for eighteen years.
Let us take heed, and not wait until God's discipline comes and we experience eighteen years of oppression before we regret it.
4.Revival Begins with Turning Back （V10-16）
The people realized that idols are unprofitable gods, so the people not only pleaded and confessed their sins to God this time, but they were also willing to accept God's discipline and serve the Lord by getting rid of the foreign gods in their midst with practical actions.
When the people gave up the central place in their hearts to God, God's heart toward them immediately shifted from discipline to mercy and compassion. For our God does not watch our sufferings from on high, but walks with us in the valley of the shadow of death, worrying in his heart about our weaknesses.
5. Raising up leaders after revival（V17-18）
Now that the people of Ammon were camped in Gilead and the Israelites were facing war at any time, the Israelites knew they desperately needed a godly leader. A godly leader was so important to God's people.
When Israel did not have a leader, they had no direction, no cover and no protection. Even in the days of the judge, when Israel did not have a leader, the Israelites were not only spiritually unprotected, but they were also physically vulnerable to the enemy at any time.
Conclusion: We are not stopping at raising up leaders, but continuing to flourish and building up more godly leaders to lead.
The people of Israel used to face revival and then return to the cycle of corruption because the leaders were not passed on and the people did not rise up to inherit, causing the people to forget God. Not only must we all rise up as leaders, but we must continue to build up disciples and pass on God's teachings, and prosper!
