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 48

Please read Isaiah 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 Isaiah 48:
Bible Study

Isaiah shows that Judah was full of people who claimed to worship God but in fact they had broken their covenant and were living in rebellion against him. God used His prophets to prophesied Israel's captivity and release, proving that He is the one true God. Isaiah prophesies Cyrus, king of Persia, as God's chosen instrument to overthrow Babylon.

Isaiah prophesies the coming of the "new thing" include the coming of the Messiah who is empowered by the Holy spirit and the new heavens and earth at the end time.

My Spiritual Journal

What I receive from Jesus is: How treacherous we can be!

Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth.
For my own name's sake I delay my wrath;
for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to cut you off.
See, I have refined you, though not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this.
How can I let myself be defamed?
I will not yield my glory to another.
Isaiah 48: 8-11

In the midst of all those prophesies God told the Israelites that they were treacherous and to be called a rebel!

Do you know that we as human beings can be so treacherous and rebellious. Do you think you can be sometimes treacherous and rebellious?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to see our weaknesses that we won't let you be defamed. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
