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: Psalm 58

Chinese praise song -
Please click the links below to Psalm 58:
Surely there is a God who judges the earth."
Psalm 58: 11
What I received from Jesus today is: They mean destroy, He means rejoice !
The tune that David used in this psalm is the same tune "Do not destroy" as for Psalm 57 and 59. Some commentators says it is because of the sin of David that he had so many painful disasters, so many people wanted to destroy him including his own son. But, don't forget that David is being described as the one who is after God's heart.
What I got today is a very encouraging message from the Lord. It is because David was so close to God's heart that he could face with each of those destruction that wanted to destroy him of his life and of his eternal life! Getting through of each scheme of destruction and winning each of the devil to pull him away from God gave him a stronger character to witness God's mighty power.
So, do not be afraid of any crisis in your life. Right in this moment, Jesus reminds me to turn to 1 Corinthians 10: 13 to give you a word of encouragement:
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
So, this is what I've got today from Jesus to give all of us a big encouragement:
They mean destroy, He means rejoice!
Dear Lord Jesus,
We trust you and we love you. Help us to rejoice when you put us to go through difficulties.
