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
3.          **Sing a song to praise the Lord

      10,000 Reasons

      
     Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method) 

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 and having Jesus as my Lord. 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 sins 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 gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

3.  John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

           "Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.
             Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.
             Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

Key passage:  

 “  You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

                                                             2 Timothy 2:1-2


Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through today's TWA passages we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to Him.

The topic I received today from Jesus is: Be a four generations discipler and mentor for Jesus!

      Today's 2 Timothy 2:1-2 tells us that if Timothy can be strong and not timid to take up the three appointed positions as Herald(Evangelist), Apostle(Planter), Teacher(Discipler, Mentor), he will follow Paul's example to become a four generations discipler/mentor.

    Why? Because we can find that from 2 Timothy 2:2:
    1st generation: Paul
    2nd generation: Timothy, discipled by Paul
    3rd generation: Timothy's disciple, discipled by Timothy
    4th generation: Timonthy's disciple's disciple, discipled by Timothy's disciple

    May you be able to live out that three positions to raise up three more generations disciples for Jesus to enjoy the blessing of being a four generations discipler and mentor.

    And, I have a great joy to find out that Paul is the one who live out Jesus' four stages of the growing seed as reflect in our AM Canada's four years MicroMacro Discipling plan as:
    1st year:Raising up Disciplers
    2nd year:Raising up Evangelists
    3rd year:Raising up Mentors
    4th year:Raising up Planters

    



      Dear Lord Jesus,
    Help us to be willing to fan into flame by you so that we can live out these three appointed positions so that we can be a four generations discipler and mentor for you. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:    

1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

     2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus, to be holy - that is to do what Jesus wants you to do and not to do what Jesus wants you not to do?
