DAY 289 - Those Deceive Will Be Deceived

Today's Reading: Genesis 29

Please read Genesis 29 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.

Message: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis 29&version=MSG

When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?" Genesis 28:16

What I heard from Jesus today is "Those who deceive will be deceived". We read how deceiving Jacob was and even he had been blessed richly all the way but he suffered what he sowed. Lots of time people think that it is OK to be selfish, spreading rumours, hurting other people and using unethical way to get what we want, but you will eat your own fruit!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to be always faithful and true to you and to others. Help me to not be discouraged if I am being deceived, trusting that you will act on those who deceive others. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Michelle's chemo hit in today so her white cell is very low just 0.6 and not good on her blood too so she had one bag of blood transfusion. Well, that is normal. But she is afraid that she is going to have fever like the last time. So, please pray that she is not getting fever this time please.

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 discipler. 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 discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
