DAY 294 - Watch out! You are a sleeping volcano!

Today's Reading: Genesis 34

Please read Genesis 34 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.

Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 34&version=MSG

The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defiled. They seized their flocks and hers and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields. Genesis 34: 27-28

What I heard from Jesus today is such a big warning: Watch out! You are a sleeping volcano!

I have to admit I am one of the sleeping volcano and without a daily intimate relationship with Jesus, I think this volcano can become a "living" volcano!

How sad it is to see a "killing field" when the volcano inside Jacob's sons erupted killing all the men of the whole city! I have seen too many similar "killings" in families and churches. Why? Why human beings choose to kill and destroy instead of to love and build!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Give me peace and love when I am being mistreated, slandered and attacked and help me to know that I am a sleeping volcano. Only you can keep this sleeping volcano to not become a living volcano, bringing destruction. Anoint me and use me as an instrument to bring healing, peace, love and to build godly relationships. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

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!
