DAY 92 - Why So Many People Divorce?

Please join our new Mentor 123 campaign starting this coming Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013!

What you need to do is to find two more people meeting once a week for three months, encouraging each others to have daily devotion - a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus!

To create a momentum to this new yearly campaign I am going to start a new blog and podcast on that day. I will direct my two blogs and podcasts to that new site to have a 40 days BREAK.BUILD daily devotion. For a preliminary format please go to this site: http://www.breakbuild.blogspot.ca/ . 

You can see the layout and titles of all 40 days. Come on , let's get two more people to start a daily tasting of Jesus wonderful banquet specially prepared for us! 

This blog is to help you to have a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus 

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).

     What I got from Jesus is: Why so many people divorce?

     

     What I received from Jesus today is a sad question. Do you have the answer? Do you know any relative or friend who is divorced?

     This is always a relational question. It's all about relationship. Something happen to the relationship between a husband and his wife and their relationship finished! How sad!

     May be we can find the remedy in the passage after that passage. If both of the husband and wife can come to Jesus like little children, then they can both listen to what Jesus says and can be able to accept and to love each other again. Do you think so? 

     For the past 25 years since I was ordained as a priest, I helped quite a number of husbands and wives in this matter. Those who successfully made their marriage to work again were those who were willing to come to Jesus for remedy and not insisted on their own ways. "My way" is always the "dead" way!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead more husband and wives to understand that they are one flesh in you so that they can love each others more and more each day. 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!
