This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out. Numbers 9: 8

The Lord opened my eye to see the army of God marching forward in the desert. With the two silver trumpets sounded. Each divisions with their own flags and numerous units within each divisions. Wow! How glorious!

Then the Lord led me to see another picture today. God's army in a mess! No one is listening to any one. Each one is marching on their own way, speed and form. Generals fighting other generals. Divisions fighting other divisions. Units fighting other units. Soldiers setting traps for their Captain to step in. Pride kills God's army! Oh, It feel so painful to see this dark picture. Why? Why do we have to do the thing we want, to control, to insist, to discourage ...Why? How difficult it is for us to listen, to obey?

Let us Rise Up as God's mighty army and be willing to obey the chains of command from the Lord. If not, we have no way to face the vast army of the Destroyer!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me find my position in your army and be willing to be in your chain of command. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

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!
