Golden Verse 金句

 “All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God."
                               John 16: 1-2


我 已 將 這 些 事 告 訴 你 們 , 使 你 們 不 至 於 跌 倒 。
 人 要 把 你 們 趕 出 會 堂 , 並 且 時 候 將 到 ,凡 殺 你 們 的 就 以 為 是 事 奉 神 。
 他 們 這 樣 行 , 是 因 未 曾 認 識 父 , 也 未 曾 認 識 我 。
                                            
                                                                        約翰福音 16: 1-2

     What I got from Jesus is: Secret of not going astray!
     
     What I got from Jesus today is the secret of not going astray when we are hated by other people, seeing others pastors and leaders being put out of churches or even being killed, or we are being chased and killed, we will not lose our faith and go astray.

     I have seen much of this kind of putting people away out of Christian organizations and churches, especially this year. It is somewhat discouraging and make people hopeless.

     The point is that Jesus already told that to his disciples and us. Nothing new! Those people do this to put you our or even to kill you is in the name of God and thinking that they are doing a good job for God! Terrible!

     The secret is that if we know the Father and Jesus and we allow the work of the Holy Spirit in us, then we those horrible and painful things happen, we won't go astray leaving Jesus behind us and we hide in the darkness created by our own fear!  

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be able to remember what you tell us today that when we are being attacked, chased or killed we won't go astray.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

**NEW link for the 12th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from December 04, 2012 to March 14, 2013)

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 1,200 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 1,200 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!
