Today's Devotional

What is your treasure?

"Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”."
- Acts 3:6

When the apostles were walking towards the temple, they saw a man begging for alms because he was crippled and couldn't work. Faced with such a needy person, being 'empty-handed' wasn't a problem, because the apostles had something more valuable.

Evaluate your life right now, is the most valuable thing something you can hold in your hands? You see, our faith in Christ is the greatest security we can have in life, and it is our path to salvation.

They trusted in the power of Jesus' name, do you trust that Christ's name can meet your needs? Just believe, get up, and go praise the Lord for everything he has already done in your life.

Take your Stretcher and Walk

  • Pray to the Lord for renewed faith.
  • Understand that your most precious possession is spiritual, not physical.
  • Share this immaterial blessing of salvation with your neighbor.

Pray:

Lord, creator of heaven and earth, who healed that crippled man through the power of Jesus' name, I ask you to renew my faith. Help me to believe in your power to change my life. I entrust my needs to you and trust that you can help me. I ask this in the name of Jesus.

Yesterday's Devotional

A call on those who make a difference!

" 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine."
Psalm 33:17-19

There are times when we seem to be drifting, everything seems to be heading for failure. No matter how hard we try, things aren't going well. It's at these times that we should stop looking for "earthly solutions" and turn our eyes upwards!

Are we putting God into our struggles, or do we only call on him when we've exhausted all our alternatives to try to solve our problems? Even with dedication and willpower, our victory comes from God! We may have strength, talent - even financial means - but without God, there is no chance of salvation.

God is faithful to protect us, even in times of scarcity. Trust in him, because the Lord protects those who fear him!

Call on those who make a difference!

  • Seek God's presence, and ask for his direction.
  • Having good conditions is not a sign that we are doing well. Seek God even more!
  • If things aren't going well, cry out to Him! God is ready to hear your voice and wants to do great things in your life. Don't put it off.

Pray:

Lord, take care of me! Without you, everything I do is unsafe. My strength is limited and only your presence can make a difference in my life. Guide me with Your mighty hand. In Jesus' name, amen!

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Receive peace in all its forms

"16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you."
2 Thessalonians 3:16

Every day we have a gruelling routine of hard work and rushing around. All we want after those days is a moment of peace and rest. But sometimes, when we return home, we seem to get even more tired! It's at these moments in our lives that we should ask for help from the one who calmed the raging sea, Jesus.

Our God is the source of all peace, in his Word we find refreshment and help to sooth our hearts. To bring peace to our homes and work places, we must first start with ourselves. That's why the Word of God is so important: it nourishes us, and the Holy Spirit moulds us, giving opportunities for us to act differently.

As you turn to the King of Peace, may you rest in him. May the Lord pour peace into your home, your workplace, and your relationships with others. May God be with you and may his peace be lasting and fill every part of your life!

Experiencing peace in all its forms:

  • Ask the Holy Spirit to shape your behaviour, transforming you into an instrument of peace and not war, of reconciliation and not division.
  • Set aside an hour of your day to meditate and pray. Prayer and meditation on God's word nourish and comfort us.
  • Reflect on how your attitude and behaviour can promote a peaceful and reconciliatory environment. Peace is contagious and those who seek peace do not go to war.

Pray:

Lord Jesus, I ask for your peace and your spirit to come upon me. May the anointing of love and peace overwhelm my life, my home and everywhere I go. Thank you, in Jesus' name. Amen.

What is the Daily Devotional

The Daily Devotional is a special moment of your day that you dedicate to having a precious time of intimacy with God. It is very simple to establish an exciting routine of discovery and spiritual growth. You will achieve this by setting aside a moment each day to draw near to the Lord. During the Devotional, you will read a Bible verse with a meditation on the text. Then, you will meditate on the teachings and how to apply them in your life. In the end, you can pray.

How to do your Daily Devotional

Here are some tips for making the most of reading the Bible message during the Daily Devotional:

  1. Set aside a moment and choose a specific place: your devotional time will be more beneficial if you set aside the hustle and bustle and invest in a pleasant time alone with God.
  2. Read the verse or Bible passage attentively: develop a lifestyle committed to the Word of God every day and avoid distractions.
  3. Read the daily meditation: reflect and try to understand God's purpose for your life through the comments.
  4. Practical application: jot down your findings and don't forget to put into practice everything you have learned through the Bible.
  5. Share what you learned: try to share with people around what God has been teaching you in your moments of daily devotion as you go about your daily conversations and interactions.

Don't forget the importance of living a life fully committed to the Word of God!
