DAY 279 - Sent by God to Destroy

Today's Reading: Genesis 19

Please read Genesis 19 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.)

Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 19&version=MSG

"Because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it." Genesis 19: 13

Sent by God to destroy...how can that happen? It happened and was recorded in the Bible! You may think, well, that is history, not any more, for 'God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3: 16-17)

God sent His son to save us. How can He send angels again like in the old time to destroy?

A question I received from Jesus today is this: If you know God would send angels to destroy your city in three years time, what difference would that be for you to change your lifestyle from now on?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to prepare myself as if you are coming any time. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Praise the Lord that Michelle had a wonderful first day of her second chemo today. Praise the Lord that my spiritual parents Archbishop Yong and Julia came to pray for her. We are very much being encouraged!

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 discipler. 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 discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
