**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).

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 to pray for me, my family and my ministry, 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. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! 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: Hosea 10

Please read Hosea 10 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.)

Bible Study

This chapter tells us that the more Israel prospered, the more the people took God for granted and participated in idolatry.  They were just like unplowed ground that had been so neglected and become so hardened that it could not receive seed. 

They chose to worship idols and involved in the Canaanite fertility rituals with sexual activities carried out at the high places. God's judgment would pour down on them and they had no place to hide.

My Spiritual Journal

What I got from Jesus today is: The more worldly gain, the further people are from God!

It is so sad that in the history of mankind it happens so often. When people are in distress, they cry for God's help. But when they are fine and later turn their focus to have more and more worldly gain, they(or we)are further away from God! The worst situation would be people would involve in all kinds of sinful activities just like those Israelites did.

How can we cherish more spiritual renewal that we can be more and more closer to God should be a challenge to each one of us. And, a true warning too! 

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to cherish our daily spiritual renewal so that we can be more and more closer to you.  In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
