**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).

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 1,100 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 1,100 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!

Today's Reading: Matthew 5: 13-20

Bible Study

This passage talks about if we live out that life of the kingdom heaven, a real life of Christlikeness, then three things will happen:
1. To become an Anti-Virus instrument for God
    Two thousand years ago, the main purpose of salt is to prevent food to go bad because they did not have ice or refrigerator. In modern term is like the anti-virus software that we put to our computer to prevent virus to destroy our computers.

2. To Shine
   If we live out a life of heaven, a real life of Christlikeness then we will shine just as a city on a hill or a lamp in a house.  Nothing can prevent us from shining, to bring light to this world of darkness.

3.  To fulfill God's law
     As N.T. Wright says:
     This passage, following the striking introduction to the Sermon on the Mount in verses 3-12, introduces the main theme that will occupy Jesus in what follows.  He has come to fulfil the law and the prophets.  Most of the rest of the Sermon explains exactly what that means, right through to 7: 11; then 7:12, echoing 5:17, sums it all up. 

How well are you doing those anti-virus jobs for Jesus and how bright you are recently?

Have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

What I heard from Jesus today is: Anti-Virus & to shine!

What I received from Jesus is a question to you of how well you are living out the beatitudes, from self-likeness to Christlikeness and from Christlikeness to be willing to take up your own Cross.  If you can live that out, then you are more and more being transformed to live each day a life-style of Christlikenesss. 

If so, then you will be doing your job as an anti-virus instrument for Jesus and you will shine. Yes, you will shine and bring light to other people who are in darkness and to help them not to go rotten in this rotten world!  


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be transformed by you to shine and bring light to those who are in darkness.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
