Silence
1. Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2. Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.
Praise and Thanksgiving
1. Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2. Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

My Listening
The message I got today from our Lord Jesus Christ is so moving, important and meaning:
"You are numerous and very powerful! Charge! "
Today's Psalm 56:4 challenge us about one thing:
Do you really trust God each day or do you live in fear each day?
We can see that Joshua told the tribes of Joseph which consists of Ephraim and Manasseh that they are numerous and very powerful, but are afraid that they could not take out the Canaanites in the Valley of Jezreel.
Joshua said, "So what, even if they have chariots fitted with iron, so what! You can drive them out! Charge!"
Then, today's Luke 19: 1-10 gives us the best way to charge and drive out our "Canaanites". Do you know how Zacchdaeus drove out the Spirit of Pride and Greed?" There is only one answer: Jesus
Jesus says, "I come to seek and to save the lost."
We are so honoured to have Archbishop Kolini, eight African Anglican bishops, one Sudan Anglican bishop, one Myanmar Anglican bishop, three Anglican Mission International bishops and me to be in last week's AM International Inauguration and Retreat. I am so honoured to be the preach of their closing Eucharist last Friday. Yes, in the Name of Jesus we are charge to confront Satan's kingdom of darkness!
Do you know that in Jesus, you are numerous and very powerful!
Do you trust in Jesus that in Him there is no fear and can drive out all those things pull you in wickedness, darkness and despair.
Charge! In Jesus, you will surely prevail!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to realize and to experience that in you we are numerous and very powerful so that we have the courage to charge for the victory of your Kingdom. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. Are you afraid of something recently? What cause you to have such kind of fear?
2. How can today's message remove your fear and give you the courage to charge and to have victory in Christ ?
3. What have you received from Jesus today?
3. What have you received from Jesus today?
