**NEW link for the 9th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from Oct. 30, 2011 to February 5, 2012).
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 116
Please read Psalm 116 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 116:
Then I called on the name of the Lord: "O Lord, save me!"
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
I will sacrifice a thank offering to you and call on the name of the Lord.
Psalm 116: 2, 4, 13, 17
What I received from Jesus today is: Call me!
Today Jesus asked me to send a loving invitation to all of you, "Call me!"
Jesus wants you to call Him as often as you can. When you ask someone to call you, that is an invitation to build a connection and relationship. When you tell someone, "Don't call me anymore", then you must be very angry wanting to end a relationship.
The psalmist was in a very difficult situation as describes in this psalm and yet his intention is to call on the Lord as long as he lives.
How often do you call him? Jesus loves to receive your call more often each day!
And the first word He wants to hear from you is the first word in verse 1, "I love you Lord!"
Dear Lord Jesus,
I love you Lord! Help me to be willing to call you more often each day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
**Four days ago(Sunday) Michelle and I were having lunch with our church choir members. Our Music Director, Edmund Cheung said, "Silas, I understand what you said about the best thing in last night's Schola Cantorum Emmanuel's concert was "life". I really experienced a powerful outburst of life in all of us when we sang especially when we sang "Hallelujah" and "Worthy is the Lamb/ Amen"." Yes, it was indeed a powerful concert yesterday night. Please click the two links in this post to listen to how we praise God yesterday. The recording was just taken from a small camera and not a good recording. I'll give you the link of our official recording once Andy Li is done for the whole concert. Don't know when yet.
When we praise the Lord like that spirit in this psalm we will know the "life" and power right away of the joy we received when we praise Him! All of our Schola members and those who attended yesterday's(Saturday's) concert felt the same way that we were richly blessed when we richly praised our Lord!
Thanks to our son Ignatius who took a wonderful and powerful photo of me capturing the "life" in this concert and with his comment on his face book:
Live fully. Live passionately.
You know that feeling when you do something you love, and time seems to stand still?
It's not quite clear, but you've lost in the moment of it.
Congrats to Schola Cantorum for singing Handel's Messiah today!
