DAY 490 - Unity Is Just A Dream?




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
**NEW link for the 5th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (September 25, 2010 to January 2, 2011

Today's Reading: Judges 19
Please read Judges 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.)

Please click the links below to Judges 19:
When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. Judges 19: 29


This is such a horrifying chapter! Another chapter to show how the society and culture could become if "everyone does as he sees fit"(17: 6, 21:25).

In order to call everyone in unity to respond to a crisis, they 'needed' those horrifying 12 pieces of human flesh!

When Michelle first developed leukemia, we had many people coming to our weekly Saturday prayer meeting at 9a.m.. But just for a few weeks! A group leader was so happy when he found out that one of his group member started to have daily devotion again after she knew that Michelle got leukemia. A few weeks later he found out that she stopped to have daily devotions and asked her 'when did she stop?' Her reply was when she knew Michelle was OK; then she became lazy!

Is it really so difficult to call for unity to do something we need to do but we do not have the eagerness to do? How weak and sometimes how evil we as human beings can be? Lord, have mercy on us!

How sad it is when everyone does as he sees fit! Without God, without king, without leader, without anybody to be accountable to!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead me to help others to learn the importance of unity, to experience the power of unity and to taste the sweetness of unity. 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!
