主讲: 丘均发传道



一、名单首列 领袖名字（拉2:1-2）

名单中的第一批人物是领袖。神复兴计划从恢复合神心意的领袖开始。

每一个有影响力的人都应该知道自己的身份，今天的教会也是这样。领袖们都要知道他的职分、岗位和角色，起到他的作用。
 
二、数点家族 回归人数（拉2:3-35）

每一个人都应该知道他属于哪个家族、家有多少人。就像今天的教会，要知道有几只“羊”，不然怎么会知道有“羊”迷失了呢？
 
我们受洗归主即是归入神国家族。当世界说“你无足轻重”，神说：“你名刻在我手心上！”（赛49:16）不论身世如何，神都将我们安置在祂的国之中，我们的名字不会被忽略。

每一间教会，有多少信徒、多少工人都应该清楚，这样就可以有好的管理，不至于糊里糊涂的。

三、不同岗位 各按其职（拉2:36-63）

1. 圣职人员 各尽其责 (V36-58)

神不仅信实带领百姓归回，也重新恢复祂家中的“圣职秩序”，不论是祭司、利未人、歌唱者、守门的，还是殿役仆人，都各尽其责、同心事奉。

每一个“受感”肯为圣殿的事工摆上的人，神都记念！

2. 身份不清 职分暂停（V59-63） 

这些人归回想参与服事，但因为血统未明、身份模糊，被暂时搁置。

我们需要省察自己属灵身份，不忘记自己的身份、职分，是很重要的！忘记身份，你的生活可能就变了，活得“有失身份”；忘记职分，你在工作时，就可能“有失职责”！甚至导致你“失职”！
 
 四、全人全家 全心建造（拉2: 64–70）

1. 归回全体 齐心摆上（V64–67）
这段经文总结归回人数：不只是“个人”归回，而是“家庭”、“群体”、“产业”都一同归回。牲畜数字象征他们将生活资源都带入神的计划中。

不要让信仰只停留在“我自己信就好”，而是带动群体归回，一同摆上！

2. 首领带头 甘心奉献（V68–70）

归回的首领带头甘心奉献，成为全民榜样，带领百姓不只“到达”耶路撒冷，还立刻“甘心献上”财物，支持圣殿的重建工程。

信心不只是脚步的回应，更是财务的委身！ 

总结：

你我的名字，也可以写在这“属灵建殿”的名册上！不要只是“聚会者”，要成为“建造者”！




    
  

Ezra Chapter 2: The Name List of Those Returning to Rebuild the Temple 
GK611 Morning Devotion
16/07/2025
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Daniel 

 I. Leaders Are Listed First (Ezra 2:1–2) 

The first group of names recorded in this chapter are the leaders. God's plan for revival always begins with restoring leaders after His own heart.

Every influential person must be aware of their identity. The same is true in today’s church—leaders must be clear about their appointment, position and role, so they can function effectively.

II. Family Lineages and the Number of Returnees (Ezra 2:3–35) 

Everyone needed to know which family they belonged to and how many were in their household. Just like the church today—leaders need to know how many "sheep" are in the flock; otherwise, how would they know if there were any lost sheep?

Through baptism, we are joined into God's family. When the world says, “You don’t matter,” God says, “I have engraved your name on the palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:16). Regardless of our background, God places us in His kingdom and never forgets our name.

Every church should clearly know how many believers and workers it has. Only then can there be proper organization instead of confusion.

III. Different Roles, Each Serving in Their Position (Ezra 2:36–63) 

1. People in Ministry Roles Serving in their respective roles (verse 36–58)

God not only faithfully led His people back, but He also restored the holy order in His house. Whether priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, or temple servants—they each fulfilled their duty and served with one heart.

Everyone who is moved to offer themselves for the work of the temple is remembered by God!

2. Unclear Identity—Service Suspended (verse 59–63)

Some who returned wished to serve, but because their lineage was unclear and their identity uncertain, their service was temporarily halted.

We must examine our spiritual identity. It's important not to forget who we are or what our calling is. When you forget your identity, your lifestyle may change and become “unworthy of your calling.” If you forget your duty, you may end up neglecting your responsibilities—or worse, failing your calling entirely.

IV. Whole Being, Whole Families Building Whole Heartedly (Ezra 2:64–70) 

1. The Entire Community Returned and Gave Whole heartedly (vv. 64–67)

This section summarizes the total number of returnees. It wasn’t just individuals who returned, but entire families, communities, and possessions. Even the number of their livestock symbolizes that they bring all the living resources into God's plan.

Faith shouldn't stop at “personal belief.” It should inspire whole communities to return and offer themselves together.

2. Leaders Took the Lead and Gave Willingly (vv. 68–70)

The returning leaders led by example, giving willingly. They became a role model for the people.
not only arriving in Jerusalem, but immediately offering their wealth to support the rebuilding of the temple.

Faith is not just a response of footsteps, but also a financial commitment!

Conclusion: 

Your name and mine can also be written in this “spiritual registry of temple builders”! Don’t just be a participant—be a builder!
