Today's Reading: 1 Kings 16
Please read 1 Kings 16 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 1 Kings 16:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha: "I lifted you up from the dust and made you leader of my people Israel, but you walked in the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to provoke me to anger by their sins."
1 Kings 16: 1-2



Have you been betrayed by those people whom you raised up? Were you thinking at that time similar to what God thought in King Baasha's time, "How can you do that to me? I raised you up from nothing and you betray me like that?"

Watch out! Unforgiveness is perhaps the most poisonous virus in a human's soul to destroy one's life. What God told me today is wonderful, "Can you imagine how painful I was in those times when every king walked in the ways of evil. See how I poured down my wrath on them if they really were so evil. So, let go of your anger and trust that only I can deal with those people, not you."

What are the names and faces of people who hurt you for years and you cannot forgive? Think of the names here in this chapter: Baasha, Elah, Zimri, Omri and Ahab. If God allowed that to happen, then He could also allow something similar to happen to you to challenge you and to build you up.


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to forgive and take all those hurting moments to be challenges from you to build me up. 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!
