Word For Today

God did not create us to live in solitude. He desires that we have healthy relationships with those around us. Our brothers and sisters in faith are treasures from God in our lives, helping us on our journey with the Lord. Therefore, we should value each one, and avoid conflicts, treating everyone with God's sublime love.

not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

Do not stop congregating. It is very important to stay connected to a faith community where the Word of God is proclaimed faithfully. Where you can bless and be blessed by communion. Many brothers and sisters leave their congregations and by distancing themselves from the family, take the risk of walking alone. But listening to messages and sermons online is not the same as being part of the Church of Christ.

The Church is like a large flock of the Lord, shepherded collectively. Sheep alone become easy targets for the Enemy.

If you are away from communion with the church, it is time to return! God wants you to grow spiritually alongside a family that is also growing. There are no perfect churches, but you can contribute to make yours more like Jesus. Be the person you hope others will be to you. Love, care, help, support, and encourage other brothers and sisters in faith to persevere in the Christian journey.

Are you living in communion with God's family? Here are some activities and things to do when gathered in Small Groups.

We will see changes in our situations when we embrace the help of God. God wants to give us a complete and satisfying life. But we have to learn to fight for what is important and to call upon the power of God.

‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
Jeremiah 33:3

When you call out to God, He hears you and comes to your aid. God does not ignore your prayers but faithfully acts to answer your pleas.

Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
Isaiah 65:24

Do not think that if you do not receive an immediate answer, God has forgotten you. It is not so, changes aren't necessarily immediate. He listens to you and takes action,

Sometimes He shapes us with gentle touches. Just as the potter molds clay with patience and dedication, God molds us to become more like Him.

The important thing is that you allow Him to do His work in you. For example, if you struggle with fear, ask God to help you trust in His protective power. Call out to the Father. Fill your heart with trust. And also, allow Him to transform you every day, to give you encouragement and courage. Fill your heart more with His Spirit and let Him transform you so that you can be more like Jesus.

God can transform you in every part of your life, for example:

• Family: God can transform the family by bringing love, forgiveness, and unity. God can heal wounds, strengthen bonds, and build a nurturing environment when we become more Christ-like, and embrace his teachings.

• Relationships: God can transform us through his gifts of unconditional love and complete forgiveness. When we show others biblical love, respect, and selflessness, God can bring restoration, harmony, and mutual growth.

• Work: God transforms us in the workplace by inspiring integrity, excellence, and humility. By relying on His wisdom and strength, we can approach our work with diligence, stewardship, and a servant's heart. God can also provide opportunities for growth, promotion, and using our skills to glorify Him.

• Ministry: God brings transformation by equipping us with the fruits of the spirit, passion, and vision to serve others. He deepens our faith, compassion, and dependence on Him as we seek to fulfill His calling. Through prayer, discipleship, and obedience to His Word, God can empower us to impact lives, build His kingdom, and bring glory to His name.
