Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week then prayerfully 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.

Choose my instruction instead of silver,

knowledge rather than choice gold,

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,

and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Proverbs 8: 10-11

What I received from Jesus today is: My precious!

If you have watched "Lord of the Rings" than you know what "My precious" means. What is that "My precious" that you long for and use much of your time to get it. I hope that's not material things like it describes here as "silver, gold or rubies" but some eternal thing like wisdom and relationship with God that you can receive wisdom from Him.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us not to waste our time in pursuing perishing things and seek wisdom. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Now then, my sons, listen to me;

pay attention to what I say.

Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths.

Many are the victims she has brought down;

her slain are a mighty throng.

Her house is a highway to the grave,

leading down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7: 24-27

What I received from Jesus today is: Sex could bring you down!

If you substitute the word her to "the Deceiver" and see what you can get from Jesus?

Now then, my sons, listen to me;

pay attention to what I say.

Do not let your heart turn to the Deceiver's ways or stray into the Deceiver's paths.

Many are the victims the Deceiver has brought down;

the Deceiver slain are a mighty throng.

The Deceiver's house is a highway to the grave,

leading down to the chambers of death.

Well, if you are being tempted, trapped and stepped into the darkness of that "grave" and committed adultery or any kind of sexual misconduct then you need to know it is not a "he" or "she" who tempt you but the Deceiver makes use of a "he" or "she" to tempt you and pull you into the trap of darkness!

Don't let that "arrow to pierce your liver, like a bird darting into a snare with little knowing it will cost you your LIFE!

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to be aware of the sweet temptation of the Deceiver and be able to follow you only. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

How long will you lie there, you sluggard?

When will you get up from your sleep?

Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?

So is he who sleeps with another man's wife;

no one who touches her will go unpunished.

But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment;

whoever does so destroys himself.

Proverbs 6: 9, 27, 29, 32

What I received from Jesus today is: Don't burn yourself because of spiritual laziness!

What I got from Jesus today is a warning connecting to two situations in this chapters.

One is the spiritual laziness and the second is someone will be burned if he or she commited adultery!

According to one of my reading source: People who have known God, yet still commit adultery will experience lingering trouble and disgrace. Though the guilt of adultery may be forgiven if a person truly repents, the shame will remain because the emotional and relational scars are never completely removed. No action can ever completely make amends for this kind of unfaithfulness. Because of the far-reaching and fearful consequences of adultery on everyone involved, we should run from every temptation and avoid any relationships that might entice us to be unfaithful to God and others. We should pray for strength to resist and be freed from temptation (Mt. 6:13) and then make wise decisions to avoid tempting situations. We must also remember the warning God gives us in his Word: "So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall." (1 Cor. 10: 12)

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to get away from spiritual laziness so that we won't burn by all kinds of fire set up by the Destroyer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress?

Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?

Proverbs 5: 20

What I received from Jesus today is: Why be captivated by sex?!

Money, sex and power are the three main traps of the Devil to put us into captivity like Egypt or Babylon. I have seen so marriages broken because of one or both committed adultery. I have seen so many people being captivated in all kinds of addiction of sex destroying everything in their lives.

Everybody know that King Solomon was being destroyed of being captivated by sex. And, he wrote this chapter? He wrote this, he got numerous warnings from God and he still couldn't control and lost it! How sad! He did everything he said that one could not do in this chapter! How could that happen?! Do you think you are better than King Solomon?

Are you being tempted or captivated by the Devil using sex as an instrument to pull you away from Jesus as your Lord? Do you have anyone you know who need your prayers and help to pull away from this kind of captivity?

Dear Lord Jesus,

Help us to know that you are holy and we need to be holy. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
