Today’s Reading: 2 Thessalonians 2
Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christians to have daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus. There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:
1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.
2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters)to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day.
I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.
3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a disciple. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online disciple to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
Please read 2 Thessalonians 2: 1 – 17 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf . (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

Please click the links below to 2 Thessalonians 2:
Today I received a wonderful encouragement from Jesus, "You'll be fine, son!"
But, I need to say to Him one word first, "Yes, Sir!"
Michelle and I went to the Pentagon (just outside) and the Arlington Cemetery today. We saw so many high rank Navy, Army and Airforce officers everywhere. They all looked so magnificent in their uniform by appearance. I know that is part of their training. I know that all of them have been trained well to say, "Yes Sir!" When we saw thousands of graveyards in Arlington Cemetery, I was so moved to know that by saying "Yes Sir", most of them laid down their lives for America, their country.
According to Paul in this chapter, the coming of the lawless one, the Antichrist, deceives people to be away from the Truth. The Deceiver will deceive people to not being able to say, "Yes Sir!" to Jesus but to say, "Yes Sir!" to the world and to his deceiving plan. God will let it happen when the time comes!
What should we do? We must be willing to be trained and discipled by Jesus and His servants so that we can be able to say "Yes Sir" to Him and so that we can be strengthened and encouraged.
Are you ready to say, "Yes Sir!" to Jesus now? I invite you to pray now, asking our Lord Jesus Christ to help you to do so.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Strengthen me daily so that I can be able to take my cross to follow you. Help me to say "Yes Sir" to you every time that you give your command. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
