"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and y blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."

John 6: 54-56

On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" John 6: 60

From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know what you are the Holy One of God."

John 6: 66- 67

It felt so painful for Jesus as many left him after hearing what he said about the eating of his flesh and the drinking of his blood. "Too hard to understand! Bye, bye!"

What would you feel when so many of your disciples leave you? Right now when I was writing this, I got some discouragements from some people telling me that they are not going to listen to my podcast again because I was too DJ style, too so and so... Thank you Lord that this same thing happened to me when you helped me to feel how you felt 2000 years ago when your disciples left you!

On the other hand, I've received so many positive appreciation of my blog and the new podcast. The visits of my blog jumped three times as compared to last week with hundreds of people from Canada, United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Rwanda, Singapore, japan, Kenya, China, United Arab Emirates and Australia, a total of 15 countries!

Remember, you have come to read this blog and listen to the podcast. The purpose is not to compare me with 'so and so' and how bad my sound is and so forth. What good can one bring to criticize people when they are doing God's work? Can you appreciate people more than criticize? You have come here to read and listen is because Jesus invites you so that through this blog you can build up a daily intimate personal relationship with Him. I try to do my best and to make improvements every day. Stay there and together we will have a better chance to be close to Jesus daily.

Do you want to be Judas or Peter?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to be able to help others to never leave you. You are my Lord, my Savior and my King. In Jesus' name I 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!
