DAY 608 - Your Name in The Book of Life


This newly designed key chains will be given to all members of ACiC/AI churches on the first Sunday of March (March 6, 2011). Please click this link to my second blog - Discipler 123: http://discipler123.blogspot.com/ You can also listen to my daily podcast in English and Cantonese through this new site.




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.



Praise the Lord that we completed our 600 days/24 hours Prayer Campaign yesterday and start our 700 days/24 hours Prayer Campaign today! We have a new link for you to sign for the new stage. You really need to join us now to pray! The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week.




What you need to do is very simple. Choose one day. The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week then prayerfully remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do your work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as much participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!


Please sign up for the 7th stage - 700 days **NEW link for the 7th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (April 13 to July 21, 2011)




Today's Reading: 1 Chronicles 8


Please read 1 Chronicles 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.)

Please click the links below to 1 Chronicles 8:

First of all, sorry! For I skipped Chapter 8 two days ago. That's why today we need to go back to Chapter 8.


Many Christians stop reading the Bible when they come to Numbers for there are too many names. And if they survive Numbers, when they come to 1 Chronicles they'll disappear from the list of those who read the Bible daily. Their reason is: too many names, boring.

Today there are thousands of names in Vancouver Sun for each one of those participated in yesterday's Sun run their name and their record is in Vancouver Sun. So, if you ran yesterday, then today you would most probably buy a Vancouver Sun and check your name. I think you would be very unhappy if your name is not in there.

That's what I heard from the Lord today about this chapter. Names and names of people in the Tribe of Benjamite. Each name had their importance in the point of history. Like the last verse Ulam whose sons and grandsons were 150 in total and they were all brave warriors who could handle the bow. I wish my sons and grandsons will be described as brave warriors for Christ who know the power of prayers! And, the most important thing I received from Jesus today is that our names are in the book of Life. How joyful it is that our names are in the book of Life!


If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20: 15


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to know how blessed we are that our names are in the book of Life. In Jesus name we 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!
