To those who sold doves Jesus said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!" John 2: 16

What I heard from Jesus today is an important warning: Don't turn my house into a market!

Jesus is challenging us on a very important issue: Why do you go to church?

You want to get some business opportunities? You want to know a good girl, a good boy and then get marry? You want to learn something? You want to meet with some friends just like joining a club?

How often do you have that kind of zealous to worship our Lord Jesus Christ? How often can you taste the sweetness of the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ when we are worshiping Him in His temple? How much you have been filled, anointed and strengthened by the Holy Spirit? How much you feel and being blessed by the love of our Heavenly Father?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help me to prepare a heart yearning to worship you when I am in your holy temple. 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!
