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 81

Please read Psalm 81 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 the links below to Psalm 81:


"I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.
But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me.
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Psalm 81: 10-12


What I received from Jesus today is: God is not my cup of tea!

God saved the Israelites and took them out of Egypt. God gave a visual picture of how a bird feeds its baby birds. All those little birds open wide their mouth and they were being filled. But the Israelites chose not to listen and not to submit to God and insisted on their own devices.

Stubborn hearts! That's the pride we have because we don't even want to open our mouth to be filled. Why? Very simple, "You are not my cup of tea!" That's how we answer to God's invitation!

If we have the faith to open our mouth and be filled, we will surely experience the joy to praise God in a loud voice. I so longed for a joyful praise and worship!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to open our mouth and be filled so that we can praise you with a joyful heart
In
Jesus name we pray. Amen.
