What is Discipler 123?
A campaign starting on the first Sunday of March for three months. It is for one Discipler gathering two friends to meet once a week to have devotion with them and encourage them to have daily devotion all through the three months from March through May.

Today's Reading: 2 Samuel 21
Please read 2 Samuel 21 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 2 Samuel 21:
These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men. 2 Samuel 21: 22


Jesus showed me today the importance of building up the team spirit of my leaders; David built up the team spirit of his mighty warriors. How wonderful and powerful it was that David did not have to fight but there were capable leaders fighting for him! I praise the Lord for there are numerous mighty prayer warriors and capable leaders surrounding me so that I and my family have been prayed for daily and protected in every kind of way.

On contrary, the sin of Saul had such a poisoning influence on his family that seven men of his family - two sons and five grandsons, had to die because of his sin! What an irony and a warning to all of us!


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to build up this 'Navy fleet' which you gave me to glorify your mighty name. 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!

    Here is what I received in prayer: "Join the team today. Many hands make light work. Your prayers make a major difference. Prayer is 'ownership', stewardship, involvement, surrender, an open heart."
