**NEW link for the 13th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from March 15 to June 22, 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!
Golden Verse 金句
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
Matthew 26:26-28
耶 穌 拿 起 餅 來 ， 祝 福 ， 就 擘 開 ， 遞 給 門 徒 ， 說 ： "你 們 拿 著 吃 ， 這 是 我 的 身 體 ；
又 拿 起 杯 來 ， 祝 謝 了 ， 遞 給 他 們 ， 說 ： 你 們 都 喝 這 個 ；
因 為 這 是 我 立 約 的 血 ， 為 多 人 流 出 來 ， 使 罪 得 赦 。"
馬太福音 26:26-28

What I got from Jesus is: Sheep/Give, Goat/Take!
What I got from Jesus today is a clear explanation for yesterday's passage. What is a sheep and what is a goat.
This is an ABA form. First the passage shows us about the giving of a woman to anoint Jesus with a perfume worth one year's wage. Then Judas betraying Jesus of taking money from the chief priests. Then Jesus' prayers in the Lord's supper of giving his life as the sacrifice of a lamb.
Can you see what happens here?
The woman - Give
Judas - Take
Jesus - Give
You - ???
Jesus also reminds me of the four actions in the last supper according to verse 26:
1. Take: Taking of what we have got
2. Bless: Blessing of what we have got
3. Breaking: Breaking of what we have got
4. Giving: Giving of what we have got
This is what Jesus wants to demonstrate to us with his setting an example as the sacrifice of a lamb. He is the lamb, sheep. This is what the woman demonstrated as her willingness to take the expensive perfume she had, bless that for God's use and was willing to break the jar and gave it to anoint Jesus.
Judas did this sequence in an opposite way. He took what he wanted, curse, betray rather than bless Jesus, not willing to break himself but to break Jesus and he took Jesus life by betraying Him.
So, are you a sheep or a goat?
How do you live out the taking, blessing, breaking and giving lately?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be able to follow your example to sacrifice ourselves as a sheep to live out your four actions in the Last Supper. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
