Frank Yan of Sacramento - Sunday Devotional: John 4:14

Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:14 (NIV)

He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of joy , such a fountain of consolation, that he is content and happy. Put him in a dungeon and he will find good company; place him in a barren wilderness, he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him away from friendship, he will meet the “friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Blast all his gourds, and he will find shadow beneath the Rock of Ages; sap the foundation of his earthly hopes, but his heart will still be fixed, trusting in the Lord. The heart is as insatiable as the grave till Jesus enters it, and then it is a cup full to overflowing. There is such a fulness in Christ that he alone is the believer’s all. The true saint is so completely satisfied with the all-sufficiency of Jesus that he thirsts no more-except it be for deeper draughts of the living fountain. In that sweet manner, believer, shalt thou thirst; it shall not be a thirst of pain, but of loving desire; thou wilt find it a sweet thing to be panting after a fuller enjoyment of Jesus’ love. One in days of yore said, “I have been sinking my bucket down into the well full often, but now my thirst after Jesus has become so insatiable, that I long to put the well itself to my lips, and drink right on.” Is this the feeling of thine heart now?

Frank Yan of Sacramento on The Prayer

Frank Yan would like to post a small prayer that was important to him right after he started to believe there was a God. In Frank’s early stages of belief, he was torn between belief and disbelief. Frank hoped that this inspirational prayer that helped him will help someone else.



This was the 1st occasion that Frank felt the Holy Spirit lead him to action. Frank told others to write a simple prayer, pray it consistently and believe in it with all your heart. Okay…. So it isn’t all that clear…. But how do you know when the Holy Spirit touches you if you never felt that touch before? Then it happens… It popped into Frank’s head as the sun shined upon him.



Lord, be strong in my life
Help me find my faith
And I will follow you!



Frank had nothing to write with at the time, so he committed it to memory right away. He said in his head 7 times. “Lord be strong my life, Help me find faith, and I will follow you.”…. And this was a new start. The process that had begun in his life with a loving and humble family, great and positive friends, and a life that reached a new climax. This simple prayer would lead he to accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior, and lead him to eternal life.



Frank Yan still have many faults and trials to overcome, but he knows that he will continue to walk the path and follow Christ.

Frank Yan of Sacramento posts an article on Psalm 100:2

Frank Yan of Sacramento posts an article from: Colin D. Smith: Sunday Devotional - Psalm 100:2

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with rejoicing. - Psalm 100:2 (NIV)

Psalm 100 is a sort of sister-psalm to Psalm 95. It too is a call to worship, an exhortation to come before God, to sing His praise, and to give thanks to Him. Verse 3 even mentions the fact that we are His people and the flock of His pasture, something that came up in last week’s verses from Psalm 95.

Consider what the psalm means when it commands us to serve the Lord with gladness. Joy and gladness are a constant theme for this psalm. Our worship of God should never be grudging or miserable. When we consider what we deserve, the fact that the Lord would permit us into His presence to acknowledge His goodness and greatness should make us smile.

While the words “come before Himimply the context of corporate worship, and that is probably the primary context of the psalm, these words apply to every moment of our lives. Indeed, if we are living sacrifices, and totally given over to the Lord, then everything we do should be an act of worship. We should live “in the presence of the Lord” that is, fully conscious of the fact that He is God, He made us, and we are His. So when we read that we are to “serve the Lord with gladness,I don’t think this means just in whatever capacity we might serve God on a Sunday morning, or in our church ministry. This speaks of everything we do, all of which should somehow seek to serve God. Whether it’s our 9-5 jobs, housework, schoolwork if we truly do everything to the glory of God, then everything we do is in His service. Remembering this might help us with our attitude to the mundane aspects of life. Even the things that seem drudgery and unimportant take on a whole new significance and meaning when we do them as service to the Lord.

We should pray that we would truly seek to serve the Lord with gladness, and as we give ourselves totally to Him, that we would indeed come before Him every day with rejoicing.
