Golden Verse 金句

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

                                             Matthew 6: 24

" 一 個 人 不 能 事 奉 兩 個 主 ； 不 是 惡 這 個 ， 愛 那 個 ， 就 是 重 這 個 ， 輕 那 個 。 你 們 不 能 又 事 奉 神 ， 又 事 奉 瑪 門 （ 瑪 門 ： 財 利 的 意 思 ） 。"

                                            

                                                  馬太福音 6: 24

     What I got from Jesus is: No one can serve two masters!

     

     What I receive from Jesus today is the key to our lifestyle of Christlikeness. This whole passage is talking about one thing, and that is whether you are serving God.

     If we are not serving God, then we must be serving other gods. Those gods can be anything or anyone controlling ourselves. If we are being controlled by other gods our character will be very different. We would be full of worries because those gods, including ourselves could never satisfied us. And, our character would become very judgemental and very insecure. Always thinking that we would not have enough even though we are a Christian.

     If we are serving God, then everything would be changed. We can be able to walk in the light and our lives would be full of light. We would live peacefully each day and we are satisfied. Our character would be more and more positive, more appreciative and more secure.

     Do you want to have such kind of powerful and anointed life? Then, serve only master and that is God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to be able to serve only one master everyday. 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!
