DAY 365 - To Separate from Uncleanness

Today's Reading: Leviticus 15

Please read Leviticus 14 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=Leviticus 15&version=MSG

"You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them." Leviticus 15: 31

This chapter may be one of the many chapters that some Christians do not want to read for that does not concern with them and is not comfortable to read. What I received today is how detailed it was for God to tell His people what was clean and unclean and how much God cared and loved His people. We do not need those regulations for we have good medical knowledge and good doctors and hospitals. But they did not have those things four thousand years ago! But actually nowadays many Christians do not know what is clean and unclean according to God's standard. We need the Holy Spirit to tell us so that we can be separated from uncleanness!

I was so joyful to know that a father and his daughter have been using my blog as their daily devotion two weeks ago. The question the father asked me is he could not explain to her daughter why I chose those chapters talking about how to build the tabernacle. No! One of the purposes of this blog is to help Christians to finish reading the whole Bible in 1,189 days for there are 1,189 chapters in the Bible.

Today is an important and meaningful day for this is DAY 365! Which means I have been faithfully writing this blog for a whole year! There are over 50,000 views of this blog the past 365 days!

Tomorrow is the 1st Anniversary of this blog and I would like to invite all of you who have been reading my blog to write a short thanksgiving sharing of how this blog helps you to have a better daily devotion and leads you more closer to Jesus. Statistically speaking there will be only less than 10% or just 1% of you will do so but I pray that there will be more. Out of the ten men who had leprosy only one came back to thank Jesus. And, you can't wait for tomorrow for there won't be a "tomorrow" if you do not write it now. So, please start writing at the end of this blog in the comment slot. I think we will all be encouraged by your sharing! Please do so now and not later!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to know what is clean and unclean that we can be able to separate from uncleanness. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

We are home after our five days of holidays to Seattle and Portland! It was such a joy that we saw our godson Moses and his grandparent Mr. and Mrs. Chu when we went to a Hong Kong style restaurant for a Chinese dinner tonight. See how joyful we were!

My son, Ignatius, completed his three weeks mission in Ethiopia a few days ago.We are so joyful to welcome him home and know that he experienced God mightily in that three weeks. His one word of experience is "JOY"! Please click this link to read his wonderful sharing:http://21ethiopiandays.wordpress.com/

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!
