     What I got from Jesus is: My kingdom is not of this world!
     
     What I got from Jesus today is a warning to all of us who are we really working for and what kind of war are we fighting. Are we working for the wrong person and fighting a wrong war?

     How much time do you spend each day to work for this worldly kingdom and how hard you fight a war against people around you? I have seen too much misunderstanding, hatred, separation and killing because so many people are fighting a wrong war in a wrong kingdom.

     Jesus reminds me now of Ephesians 6: 10-18:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

      Rise up soldiers, be careful to choose what kingdom you are in and which king you serve.  Don't serve a wrong king and waste your time, energy, money and everything!

     Jesus says, "My Kingdom is not of this world!" How do you reply to Him now? 

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be able to serve you in your mighty Kingdom and not wasting ounderstand that without you we are doomed to fail.   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!
