Please sign up for the 8th stage - 800 days **NEW link for the 8th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (Jul 22, 2011 to Oct 29, 2011)

The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe 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 you 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 many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!


Today's Reading: Psalm 48

Please read Psalm 48 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 Psalm 48:


Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise,
in the city of our God, his holy mountain.
It is beautiful in its loftiness,
the joy of the whole earth.
Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion,
the city of the Great King.
God is in her citadels;
he has shown himself to be her fortress.

Psalm 48: 1-3

What I received from Jesus today is: How well have you helped to build Jerusalem?

This psalm is pointing to Jerusalem, the city of our God and the Great King. It will be established forever(v. 8). What God built in the Old Testament he will complete in the new Jerusalem at the end of time as describes in Revelation 21: 10-22:5.

What is Jerusalem to you? Do you have to go to Jerusalem to meet God? Where is you Jerusalem? It needs to be your own local church, the place you and your people worship God.
How much have you helped in building your Jerusalem to make it a city of God? Come, let's try all our best to build your church, the Jerusalem!

And, we need to pray for Jerusalem, the Jerusalem in Israel because God teaches us that we need to pray for Jerusalem:

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
For the sake of my brothers and friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you."
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity. Psalm 122: 6-9

Let say a prayer for Jerusalem daily, just 10 seconds and you'll never know how important will that 10 seconds be until you are in heaven! Let's pray for Jerusalem!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to try all our best to build the Jerusalem you prepare for us, our own local church that you name can be glorified. In
Jesus name we pray. Amen.
