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.

Like snow in summer or rain in harvest,

honor is not fitting for a fool.

Do not answer a fool according to his folly,

or you will be like him yourself.

Proverbs 26: 1, 4

What I received from Jesus today is: Are you a fool?

Your direct answer should be, "No! How can I be a fool?"

But wait, could you check those situations in this chapter to see if you are a fool and yet you do not know you are a fool! I'll just pick up some obvious points as follows:

1. Send foolish message. (v. 6)

2. Talk like a wise man but in a foolish way. (v. 7, 9)

3. Who hires a fool. (v. 10)

4. Who repeats his foolish acts. (v. 11)

5. Who is a sluggard. (v. 13 - 16)

6. Who deceives his neighbor like joking. (v. 19)

7. Who like to gossip. (v. 20, 22)

8. Who is a quarrelsome man. (v. 21)

9. Who has a fervent lips and an evil heart. (v. 23)

10. Who is a malicious and wicked man in disguise. (v. 24, 26)

11. Whose heart is filled with abominations. (v. 25)

12. Who digs pit and rolls a stone to do evil on others. (v. 27)

13. Who has a lying tongue and a flattering mouth. (v. 28)

Wow! Do you have any of these? Watch out! Be careful! Do not be a fool!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be careful so that we will not turns out to be just a fool. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man's rebuke to a listening ear.

Proverbs 25: 11-12

What I received from Jesus today is: What is real gold?

For centuries people have been searching, fighting and killing for gold. But, what is real gold?

Well, we've got the answer:

1. Real gold is a word aptly spoken by you. How careful are you lately on every word you speak? This is one of my weaknesses and the Lord has been using all kinds of methods to help me with this. I hope you also have an awareness on this before it's too late!

2. Real gold is when you are willing to listen to a wise man's rebuke. Well, most of the time we don't consider those who rebuke us as wise men or women, right? Most of the time we don't like any kind of rebuke and we dare not to rebuke anyone, right? So, you have lost lots of "GOLD"!

So, watch out when you speak. In a better way, be more cautious and make sure you have the same step with the Holy Spirit when you speak. Also, be willing to accept rebuke from other people. Listen! Listen! Listen!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to know how to find real gold and not wasting our time on the gold we cannot take to heaven. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs 24&version=MSG

Rescue those being led away to death,

hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

Proverbs 24: 11

What I received from Jesus today is: Be a rescue team member for Jesus!

There are lots of people being led to death like poverty, drugs, war, disaster or other critical situation and we are called to help them. Giving $40 a month to take care of a child through World Vision or other Christian organization is the way our son Ignatius has been doing for many years. Michelle and I started to do that about two years ago because of his witness. That's about physical death!

There are more people being led to eternal death because they do not know Jesus and that to me is more important than saving someone from physical death and is more difficult.

Jesus leads me to feel the call to be a rescue team member to both "death".

Are you willing to be a rescue team member for Jesus?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be willing to join in Your rescue team to free, heal and save. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Do not wear yourself out to get rich;

have the wisdom to show restraint.

Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,

for they will surely sprout wings

and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Proverbs 23: 4-5

What I received from Jesus today is: Money fly off to the sky like an eagle!

Money, money, money!

Money is so important to so many people and money can wear someone out!

How many people know and understand that money can fly off to the sky like an eagle? Why do we still cling to money so tightly and not focus our eyes to His Kingdom ministry?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to know that money can fly away to the sky like an eagle any time. Lead us to focus on you and your Kingdom ministry that we won't waste our time and energy to those things that will perish. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
