DAY 94 - Open My Eyes, Lord Jesus!

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). 

Golden Verse 金句

“Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

                                           Matthew 20:33-34

他 們 說 ： 主 阿 ， 要 我 們 的 眼 睛 能 看 見 ！

 耶 穌 就 動 了 慈 心 ， 把 他 們 的 眼 睛 一 摸 ， 他 們 立 刻 看 見 ， 就 跟 從 了 耶 穌 。

                                            

                                                  馬太福音 20:33-34

     What I got from Jesus is: Open my eyes, Lord Jesus!

     

     What I received from Jesus today is a plead from the bottom of our hearts. This passage starts with an event that even the two closest disciples of Jesus, James and John, could not be able to see what Jesus was doing and wanted Him to give them positions when time came.

     The eye-opening miracle happened right after that give us a clue of what Matthew wanted us to see. We need to see that we are blind lots of time. To acknowledge our blindness is not easy because most people think that we have no problem to see things. Then, to ask Jesus to open our eyes is the key because Jesus is the only who can open our spiritual eyes.

    How do we know if our spiritual eyes have been opened? Very easy, you will follow Jesus closer and closer as the two blind men did in this passage. If you are not following Jesus close enough, I think your eyes have not been opened yet!

Dear Lord Jesus,

We want to see! Open our eyes Lord.  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!
