and to be able to memorize one golden verse everyday.
We will cover New Testament in one year(Dec.1,2012 to Nov. 30,2013), 
Old Testament in another year(Dec.1,2013 to Nov. 30,2014)


Golden Verse 金句

"Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.”
                                                                       Mark 4: 20


那 撒 在 好 地 上 的 , 就 是 人 聽 道 , 又 領 受 , 並 且 結 實 , 有 三 十 倍 的 , 有 六 十 倍 的 , 有 一 百 倍 的 。

                                            
                                                                      馬可福音 4: 20
                                                                                  
                                          

Today's Reading: Mark 4:1-20

Please read Mark 4:1-20 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 my Devotion on Fire blog:

     What I got from Jesus is: Fruitful? How many times?
     
     What I got from Jesus today is a challenge from Jesus to you today:
     If you are fruitful, how many times can you produce a crop?

     If you think that you are the good soil, then you should be very fruitful. I mean not only fruitful, but very fruitful. You are reading this blog, which means you are not an average Christian. An average Christian usually won't read this blog because this blog is simple and brief, without much teaching but only consists of my daily spiritual journal recording what I heard from Jesus. And, to memorize a verse in the Bible a day. So, you are reading this blog and you must be very special! Praise the Lord!

    So, today's question for you from Jesus is for you to make sure that you are the good soil or you have been trying all your best to be the good soil. What are those things preventing you from being the good soil? Read this passage carefully again and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal within you of what are those things preventing you from being the good soil? Busy-ness? Desire? Sufferings? Worries? Wealth? Money? Loneliness? ...

    If you are the good soil, then the fruitfulness that you can be will be beyond what you can think of. Remember, thirty times(folds) is already 1,000,000,000. If you are the least of the fruitful disciples of Jesus then you may be able to bring 1,000,000,000 saved souls to the Kingdom of heaven. Or, in other words, God uses you, your time, your money and your everything to have 1,000,000,000 saved souls to heaven. If you are the top of the list of one hundred times then it is thirty zero after one. I think that must be St. Peter, St. James, St. John, St. Francis, St. Ignatius, St. Athanasius,Billy Graham, John Stott...

    Fruitful? How many times? 

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be willing to give our time, money and everything to you sos that we can be fruitful and have at least thirty times.  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!
