You may choose to follow my first blog which I started in July 2009. The easiest way to go to my first blog is to type my name "Silas Ng" and have a google search. It will be on top of the list and the name of the blog is "Devotion on Fire". The site of this blog is:http://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html


Today's Reading: Matthew 4


Please read Matthew 4 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method you may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf.

Please click the links below to Matthew 4:


Jesus said, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Matthew 4: 17


Jesus showed me today the top three traps for Satan to pull us out of the heavenly Kingdom:

1. Pay no attention to God's Word (vv. 3-4)

2. Do not trust God and His servants (vv. 5- 7)

3. Worship other people and things other than God only (vv. 8-10)


All these traps are targeting to every Christian trying to pull us from the heavenly Kingdom. If we fall into any or all of these traps, then what we need to do is to repent so that we can get back to the heavenly Kingdom. And the way to prevent us to step into these top three traps would be:

1. Live on God's Word - real daily intimate personal relationship with God through His Holy Word. Never before in my life have I felt so secure, relax, rested and full of energy since I started to use a lot of time in having a daily intimate personal relationship with God to write this blog and then to have the new blog and two podcast daily. Yes, I need at least two to three hours daily to do that but it seems I gain four to six hours daily. You won't understand until you spend more time with Jesus each day and you'll know what I mean.

2. Trust in God - Trust is a relationship and a major target for Satan to attack. The devil want it so hard to pull you out of that trusting relationship with God and His servants and all source of spiritual support. Once he cut loose of those trust then you are finished!

3. Worship God only - The devil deceives us in worshiping so many people and things. Lots of

Christians worship their pastors but they don't even know God. Lots of Christians worship movie stars, brand names, top positions and everything but never God!


Dear Lord Jesus,
Open our eyes to see those traps and help us not fall into those traps so that we can enjoy your protection and anointing in your Kingdom daily. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage those who join our Disciplers 123 to have a place to start their daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus. There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:
  1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.

  2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters) to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day. I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.

  3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a discipler. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
