DAY 535 - (Pray for Bishop TJ Johnston) After You Listened And Obeyed...











Special prayer for Bishop TJ Johnston!

This is what his wife Rees wrote and asked us to have as many bothers and sisters as I can to pray for TJ:

"I am writing to ask that you please pray for TJ’s health. He had the flu last week and it went into pneumonia. "

Today's Reading: 2 Samuel 8
Please read 2 Samuel 8 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.)

The Lord gave David victory wherever he went. 2 Samuel 8: 14


What Jesus reminded me today was to count His blessings of how He has been leading me in this path of "Listen and Obey". Many pictures, videos, waves, storms, tests, examinations, challenges.... Praise the Lord for this "Listen and Obey" journey!

What Jesus told me today is: After you listened and obeyed, then I'll give you victory wherever you go!

It seems so simple, but how difficult it is to listen and obey all time like David. Can you imagine what could be in David's heart when he heard from the Lord that he would not be able to build a temple for the Lord. He was going to die first then his offspring would finish his wish. After this, David said, "OK, may your Kingdom come, may your will be done!" Then the Lord gave David victory wherever he went.

How are you doing on your daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus?
How are you doing with your lifestyle of Christlikeness?
How are you doing on your tithing and other offerings? Do you spend your money wastefully on only your needs or do you offer your money to help in His Kingdom work?

Is 'listen and obey' so easy? Yes, and No! It totally depends on your daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus. If you really have that relationship, then you will be transformed daily into a journey of "victory". Victory may not mean that you'll win every time, have everything you want. But victory in God's way!

Special prayer for Bishop TJ Johnston!

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!
