**NEW link for the 9th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from February 6 to May 16, 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: Isaiah 11
Please read Isaiah 11 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below.

Please click the links below to Isaiah 11:
There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
and faithfulness the belt of his loins.
Isaiah 11: 1-5
What I received from Jesus today is: Jesus in you, victory!
Jesus reminded me of a gift, a big picture frame, I received from Bishop TJ on the day of my Installation as a bishop at Richmond Emmanuel Church, September 12, 2009. (Some pictures above were taken during the Installation) I was so thankful for his thoughtfulness and love to prayerfully designed, got it custom made and took it to the airplane all the way from South Carolina to Vancouver! Thank you TJ!
As you can see in the picture above, I put the picture frame in the foyer of the entrance of my home. I am so thankful to the Lord for giving me TJ as my spiritual father, bishop and coach for five years before I succeeded him to be a bishop. As you can see in the pictures is Isaiah 11: 1-5 and a picture of Archbishop Bishop Yong Ping Chung, Bishop TJ and me taken after our prayer walk around our piece of land to build our Toronto Emmanuel Church building project. It was -20 C that night!
This chapter is about who the Messiah is. Jesus reminds me through TJ's gift that whenever I have Jesus in me as my Lord and I in Him as His faithful disciple, Jesus will always prevail, victory! With Jesus we'll always be fruitful, filled with the Holy Spirit, full of wisdom and power. And, we will live out through our lifestyle of Christlikeness what fear of the Lord really means!
Yes, Jesus in you, victory!
Dear Lord Jesus,
You are our Lord and King! In you there is always victory. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
