Today’s Reading: 2 Thessalonians 3
Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christians to have daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus. There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:
1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.
2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters)to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day.
I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.
3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a disciple. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online disciple to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
Please read 2 Thessalonians 3: 1 – 18 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.)

Today is the 190th day that we have been prayed for 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. You may not know how blessed we have been in the past 190 days. It is just beyond words can explain. Without your prayers, I think that things would be very different!
Paul in this chapter states very clear that we, as God's servants, always receive many kinds of attacks - outside and inside. Paul was speaking about the attacks by Christians inside their circle!
I do hope and pray that today you will write down your name on at least one slot of our prayer list found on the top of this page. I beg you, pray for us please!!!
Dear Lord Jesus,
When our dear brothers and sisters read this line, please move their hearts to write down their names in our new list of 3rd phase 300 days/24 hours a day prayer campaign. Help them to learn and know that you will smile on them when they pray like that. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
