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

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"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."

Today's main passage:
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears; Isaiah 11:1-3

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received today is: Come quickly to receive the promise on Jesus from God through Isaiah!
Now please try to check the seven points below like a mechanic checking cars for maintenance. These seven points is according to Isaiah 11:1-3 of how Isaiah prophesied what would happen to the Messiah when He came. It is because we have Jesus as Lord and King, these seven points should also happen to us and those anointing should be more and more and the way we show others of these new character should also be more and more obvious.

1. More fruitful
2. Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
3. More wisdom and understanding
4. More ability to counsel other people and more power
5. More knowledge and fear of God
6. Delight in fearing God
7. Not taking the position of God as judge and not listening to gossips
Actually this is the verses Bishop TJ gave to me ten years ago during my installation as the bishop of AM Canada. He told me that this is his blessing to me and that this is what God will grant to whoever is willing to have Jesus as Lord and King!
When I look back of the past ten years as a bishop, I become into an awareness that these seven new characters really keep happening in my life more and more!
May your daily renewal leads you to have these seven character change more and more, your anointing will be more and more and more obvious to other people!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to receive the promise of your coming and that because of our daily renewal of becoming more like you, these seven characters will be more and more obvious in us and to other people. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of inspiration and invitation have you received from today's message ?
2. What is your next step to receive this promise from God?
