DAY 411 - 12 Days of Fasting DAY 1: Do You Know Your Boundary?


Praise the Lord that we have completed 400 days/24 hours Prayer Campaign! Without this prayer shield I think I might not be able to face the storm of Michelle's leukemia. You really need to believe in this kind of power of prayers! You really need to join us! This is how the Lord commanded me more than a year ago to teach as many people as I can to pray as never before and to experience the power of prayers! Have you experienced yet?

Please sign up for the 5th stage - 500 days

Today's Reading: Numbers 34
Please read Numbers 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. (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 Numbers 34:
The Lord said to Moses, "Command the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter Canaan, the land that will be allotted to you as an inheritance will have these boundaries:" Numbers 34:1- 2

Today is the first day of the twelve days of fasting for our first ACiC/AI Regional Conference and our AGM. I would like to ask all of you to join us that this conference will be a fruitful one and can create a "momentum" for ACiC/AI. Pray for the speakers of this conference: Bishop Chuck Murphy, Very Rev. Canon Mike Murphy, Ven. H Miller, Rev. Canon Allen Hughes and Mr. Andy Piercy. Our AGM will be next Friday morning at 9a.m. to noon and the conference will start at 2p.m. Friday(October 15) to 4p.m. Saturday(October 16).

Today what I heard from Jesus is all about our boundaries. Three questions: 1. Do you know the boundary which God gives you? 2. Have you worked hard within your own boundary which God has given you? 3. Do you know how to ask God to extend your boundary as in the prayer of Jabez(1 Chronicles 4: 9-10)?


Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for giving me my boundary. Help me to work hard within my own boundary given by you, and to have the courage to ask you to extend my boundary. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.


My son, Ignatius, completed his three weeks mission in Ethiopia this past summer.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:

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!
