Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 25
Please read Deuteronomy 25 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 this link to worship with us - Here in My Life

Please click the links below to Deuteronomy 25:
Do not have two differing weights in your bag - one heavy, one light. Do not have two differing measures in your house - one large, one small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. For the Lord your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.
Deuteronomy 25: 13-16


It is so easy for us to say, "It's not fair!" But, it is so difficult for us to see the unfairness, the judgement and the dishonesty are from us! Can we admit that we have two differing weights in our bag to cheat people? No, we are all honest people, how can we do that? Lots of time we have two or more system of standards. We like to accuse and judge other people that they have too many systems of standards. God set out detail rules in the Laws for all Israelites to follow and yet they could make use of many "grey" areas to ignore or cheat. Who are we? Are we be any different from those Israelites? I don't think so. We need to admit that we are human, and that we have our own pride, selfishness, insecurity. We need Jesus and the daily intimate relationship with Him through the Bible and His presence so that we know what is fair and unfair, and that we can be righteous and faithful disciples of Christ.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to understand that only in you can I know what is fair and unfair, what is right and wrong and what is holy and filthy. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.


There is no better teaching I have heard than what our Chairman bishop, Rt. Rev. Chuck Murphy, teaches about tithing. So you really need to see all the clips now from his talk of Theology of Stewardship last Saturday in our 1st ACiC/AI Regional Conference. That way at least, you will know why you need to tithe, though like many people you might still do what you want to do and not what God wants you to do:

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!

Please click the links below to Deuteronomy 24:
"Haven't you read," Jesus replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Matthew 19: 4-9


It seems in this chapter that God allows divorce but Jesus clearly explained that it is not the case now. It is a "no" to divorce to Jesus unless for unfaithfulness situations.

Jesus said that Moses permitted them to divorce their wives because their hearts were hard. Yes, God has His tailor-made standard in various ages just because human hearts were hard. And only in Jesus can we get the true interpretation of what God wants us to do. You need to know learn more in the Bible and also to establish a more intimate daily devotion with Jesus so that you know what to do and what not to do.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to know the "Yes" and "No" from you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

For the Lord your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
Deuteronomy 23: 14


Today Jesus gave me a scene in some movies when the actor was in a devastating situation, "Why? Oh, not me! Don't leave me, God!" Do you think God would leave you in that situation? No! Never!

But this chapter clearly states when God will leave His people. This is when they are unclean in God's standard. There were some considered to be unclean who could not enter the assembly of God. The uncleanness in the camp could cause God to leave! Funny? It's not funny. We need to know that we have to be "clean" and "holy" so that we are under His protection and He will deliver our enemies to us!

If you do not want God to leave you, then you need to be "clean" and "holy"!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be clean and holy so that we can be under your love and protection. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Please click the links below to Deuteronomy 22:
If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy 22: 22


Many Christians have not read the whole Bible. Many of them, when reading a chapter like this one might stop reading, for we are not following those rules now and it is irrelevant for us. But Jesus told me today, "There is no grey area, right is right and wrong is wrong." You may not agree with what God commended the Israelites to do but you need to know that a hundred years ago in China people still killed both man and woman when a man had sex with someone's wife.

In those days God's standard was so clear and sometimes harsh but the key word appears three time is this chapter: You must purge the evil from among you.

I can't even think of how many cases in which I have seen the destruction of a family because of sexual immorality. It all started with, "Well, it is a grey area. We do what we want to do." I do hope that we can purge the evil from among us, and we will see that right is right and wrong is wrong!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to see there is no grey area here. Your standard is so clear for us to follow. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Please click the links below to Deuteronomy 21:
Then all the elders of the town nearest the body shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, and they shall declare: "Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. Accept this atonement for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O Lord, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man." And the bloodshed will be atoned for.
Deuteronomy 21: 6-8


It is so easy for people to say, "This is none of my business." But God wanted the nearest city to be accountable for a bloodshed. Why? So people could not say, "This is none of my business." The nearest city to the dead body would be accountable to kill a heifer as the atonement for an unsolved murder.

What I heard from Jesus today is "Accountability". In this age of "none of my business" and "none of your business", people are used not being accountable to each other. Without accountability, I don't think we can have a healthy family or a healthy church.


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to build up a workable system of accountability so that we can have a healthy family and church. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
