                                                                Mark 10: 45


"因 為 人 子 來 , 並 不 是 要 受 人 的 服 事 , 乃 是 要 服 事 人 , 並 且 要 捨 命 作 多 人 的 贖 價 。"

     What I got from Jesus is: To serve And to give!
     
     Today Jesus asks us to have a self-examination of our motive to follow Jesus. Do we like James and John who wanted to get the most important position or do we know that to follow Jesus is to serve and to give, even giving our own lives.

     I have seen too many cases for pastors and Christians who want to control and to get in the name of serving God and his church. How beautiful and powerful a church will become if everyone in that church understand and practice to serve and to give. It's Jesus way to build up your church, not the other way round!

     Are you willing to be in this serving and giving team of Jesus? 
     
Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to understand that what James and John could not understand at that time of history.  Help us to be able to serve and give so that your Kingdom will be extended and your name will be glorified.  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!
