1. Introduction: Restoring the Divine Image

Many have speculated on what I will share today. Today, I will share on the theme, Making a Significant Decision. If we hear a girl say, I am making the most important decision of my life, people would think she has chosen to get married. A few days ago, I saw a brother who made a choice. Previously, he was busy with work, and he also encountered many problems. Although he tried hard every day to prove himself, no one treated him like a human being.

One morning, this brother was walking on the road, thinking, My family is not short of money, but my work has become like this, being looked down upon. He is a man who loves the Lord very much, and he made a crucial decision that day. Back in Singapore, he brought his wife and children to see me. At that time, the child was six or seven years old but liked to crawl on the ground, and the expression he showed while playing was also strange. As the couple practiced praying more in the spirit, the child's transformation gradually improved. When he was in primary school in Singapore, his grades were not very good. When this brother saw his child's condition improving, he realized that he also needed to solve his problems. That day, he made a decision to no longer live like a 'slave' to work, no longer being controlled by work.

People who live in fear cannot do anything well. In a job, if the job needs you, you will do it more smoothly, and we have a dignified manner. Some time ago, I talked about the difference between beasts and humans. Beasts also reproduce, and humans also reproduce. But we must know that humans must restore their image. The soul of a beast goes down to the ground, but the spirit of a human being rises. We must make a decision not to be trapped by life and to restore normal prayer life. At that time, he thought his work would be affected, but after he made this decision, his work became smoother, and he was no longer regarded as an inferior.

Why do we believe in the Lord? It is to restore God's glorious image. When I first arrived in Singapore, my work was hard, and I was always in tears. One day, I walked into the church and heard praise songs, and I decided to follow Jesus. At that time, I decided to follow Jesus for the rest of my life. Later, my wife's incurable disease was healed. I knew that Jesus was the treasure of my life. I made a decision to live according to the words in the Bible. Since then, I have not missed a single Sunday, for 20 years. There were many problems in my IT job, but God was gracious to me, and I was able to solve them proactively. In the early 1990s, my younger brother's child had just been born and encountered a very serious problem. We prayed until dawn, and the next day the child's condition returned to normal.

We must restore our lives and make the right decision, which is to offer ourselves to God. This brother made such a decision on the way to work in the morning to restore his prayer life. After that, life and work were operating normally, and nothing collapsed. I encourage brothers and sisters to make an important decision today.

2. Scripture

And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. (Luke 15:11-24)

3. Prayer

We were originally God's children, and we are determined to return to You. May You restore the dignity and glory of our children. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen!

4. The Most Important Decision in a Person's Life is to Live Like a Human Being

The most important decision a person makes is to live like a human being. People originally had God's glory but lived like beasts, struggling hard, just like a child without a father. If you have a wealthy father, you can suffer much less. Our Father God loves us, but many people do not know it. If people are afraid of death, they will live in a state of bondage all their lives. Young lions still suffer hunger, but those who seek God lack nothing. If we are willing to turn back, God will put beautiful clothes on us. People must know who they are; God is the God who protects and cares for us.

5. There is a Heavenly Father Who Loves Us

There is a sister who has many diseases herself and suffers from serious illnesses. There is a lot of phlegm in her throat. In fact, people have a lot of phlegm in their throats before they die. Her father has already passed away from cancer. Their children are earning 3,000 a month, which is very hard, and there are some debts and other things. Many of our brothers and sisters are living very hard lives and have encountered many problems that need to be solved. This era is really an era of relying on one's father. But it doesn't matter, our Heavenly Father will protect us, and we have God's glorious image on us.

6. Start Living in Freedom

Today, many of us do not live freely. Why are we not free? Because we are afraid. Why are we afraid? Because many people are afraid of death. Many people are afraid. We must believe that Jesus Christ has accomplished everything for us. If God has given us eternal life, will He not give us all things? We have a wealthy Heavenly Father. Some people serve Mammon; we must choose to serve God, and the benefits of God's kingdom will be given to us. Now, we must learn to start changing. There is nothing good to serve in Mammon. We rely on God, and God will not make us lack.

There was a man in the Bible named Isaac. Isaac dug a well and it was taken away by others. He dug another one and it was taken away by others. He dug another one and it was taken away again. But Isaac didn't care at all because he knew that God would bless him. With God's protection, will we die? Definitely not. Our hearts must be broad. In fact, using worldly thinking, if there is no water, there will be a danger to life, but Isaac did not care.

Some people have never seen money, have never seen the world, and love money very much. Now, we must start to let go of these things. God is the God who solves our problems. Do not be controlled by money, and come out of the control of fear. Do not live like beasts. We do not want to be poor people. People who trust in themselves will receive curses. Those who seek God lack nothing. This sister named Xiaoxue suffered all kinds of torture, but when she started to fight, she began to be victorious, defeating the devil.

Start living a wealthy life. If we decide to trust God, we will be blessed, and God and the angels will rejoice. A philosopher passed by day after day, and the cleaner asked strangely, What are you doing here? Who are you? The philosopher said helplessly, I also want to know who I am. Many people are beginning to despair, not knowing how to go forward and not knowing who to rely on.

Make a decision to start restoring the fire in your heart. Seek glory and do not care about things in the world. Do not seek this world, and start experiencing God. The answer to diseases is in Jesus Christ. We have performed many miracles. Our God is a God who does divine things. Know Jesus Christ as a treasure.

7. What Are You Pursuing Today?

What exactly are people painstakingly pursuing? Make a decision today to return to the Father God and personally experience all His honor and glory. Those who seek honor, glory, and immortality, God will repay them with eternal life; those who only pursue this life, God will repay them with poverty and disease. We must begin to be willing to personally experience the grace, health, and wealth of the Father God; the answers to our diseases and poverty are in Him. Throughout this life, God has performed many miracles through my hands. Today, if you encounter such problems and you need a miracle, you need the powerful Gospel, esteeming the knowledge of Jesus Christ as the most precious treasure, and considering all things as dung. Forsake everything for the Lord Jesus, forsake houses, family, and land, to receive a hundredfold today and eternal life in the age to come.

More than that, I count all things as loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish so that I may gain Christ. (Philippians 3:8)

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

We all have a wealthy Heavenly Father. I walked into the church and made the most important decision in my life. I was originally destined to die, but I came to know this God and began to understand the meaning of life. If a person lives for 20 or 30 years and constantly returns to the starting point, what you need is God, you need God to lead you into the promise. There is nothing better in the world than God's promise, and the answers to our lives are in the Bible. Claiming the promises is through our faith. We must know that our Heavenly Father loves us, even giving us His only begotten Son.

Conclusion

We must make a decision to enter into Jesus Christ and live out God's honor and glory. We have a brother here who works as a senior manager in a multinational corporation. No matter what kind of company it is, there will be very complex political struggles. If we are very concerned about this job, the job will become our bondage; if we are doing business, and we are very concerned about the business, this will become our bondage; if we see raising children as an important thing, we will be bound.

There is a book called Who Moved My Cheese? which talks about how if someone moves our things, we will fight them to the death. But our God is untouchable. As long as we love and serve Him alone, we don't have to be entangled in losing our job or entangled by the devil. Forsake brothers, houses, and children; if you do not forsake them, the devil will surely come to bind you. If we entrust all this to God, we will live out God's honorable and glorious image. If we value our parents, the devil will come to bind our parents, as well as our family relationships and business. Brothers and sisters, make an important decision today not to be bound by these things, and we can return to the Father God. We yearn to be identified. When we begin to know that God's salvation includes physical healing, and we maintain our health through service, we don't need to fear what diseases may come in the future. The medical welfare of this society cannot solve the problem; it may give you a false illusion that these can solve the problem, but we can see that even with very good welfare, those who suffer from cancer will still die. But our God is our greatest doctor, our reliance, and the answer to all problems.

Make a decision today to act according to God's word, and clearly know that our God is a God who cares for us, a God who heals us, and a God who protects us. Some people worry about whether our Heavenly Father can still accept us, and some people feel that we have not been chosen by God. In fact, our Father God has been waiting for us for a long time, and the promises in the Bible are all ours. If you are willing, put the Bible on your chest, and let us make a declaration together.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I declare that I will act according to God's word. I know that I am a child of God, and today I will return to Jesus Christ, and through Jesus Christ become a child of the eternal God. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I declare that my God is a God who heals me, a God who cares for me, and a God who protects me. I will keep and follow God's word, and all the promises in the Bible are ours. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Make an important decision today not to be bound by work, not to be bound by disease, and from now on, do not be afraid, do not worry, and restore the image that God originally created us in.
