But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. Romans 7:6

Have we really been rescued by Jesus or just by the Church? This is the question that I received from Jesus today. Am I a Christian or just a 'churchman'? If we have been rescued by Jesus, then we should be serving in the new way of the Spirit so that we will bear fruit to God. Do we have any signs showing our new way of serving in the Spirit? Do people see our fruits?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thanks you for rescuing me to be a Christian and not just a 'churchman'. Help me to serve you in a new way by the Holy Spirit so that I can bear fruit, much fruit. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

We have started our 2^nd phase of 100 days of prayer. I am calling you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ to fill in your names in the new list below. Many wonderful things have happened in the past 100 days. Can we follow our King, our Shepherd, our Lord Jesus Christ to use an hour’s time to pray for His protection and blessings to my new ministry as the Bishop of ACiC/AI, all our ACiC/AI clergy, leaders and people? Pray that in the Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we can win over Satan's tricks, in order to strengthen our brothers and sisters so that His Kingdom will be extended.
