DAY 191 - Fight A Good Fight! Don't Mess Up!

Please click this NEW LINK to pray for us(March 9, 2010 to June 16)!!!

Today's Reading: 1 Timothy 1

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 1 Timothy 1: 1 – 20 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 1 Timothy 1:




Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. 1 Timothy 1:18-19


Jesus reminded me how my spiritual fathers gave me good examples and instructions to fight a good that I might have shipwrecked, made a thorough mess of my faith. We need to be very careful not to reject those instructions which come from God's servants. If Hymenaeus and Alexander could make a thorough mess because of rejecting Paul's instructions, who are we to escape this downfall if we do not cherish those instructions so that we can fight a good fight for Jesus?

Watch out for the Spirit of Rejection! Let love, appreciation and acceptance fill your heart and soul!


Dear Lord Jesus,
I give thanks to you for giving me quite a number of spiritual fathers and mentors in my life. Help me to cherish their good examples and to follow all those instructions that come from you so that I can be able to fight a good fight for you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
