His Word for Today

This morning's verses talk about making the right choices.  There are consequences to the choices we make whether good or bad.  Today, let us be aware that there will be consequences to the choices we make, and make the right choices accordingly. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about receiving every place our foot treads on.  Israelis gained victories over territorial lands but the Lord wants our hearts in the New Testament days.  We are to renew our minds (Ref Romans 12:1-2) and reach out to non believers. (Ref Mark 16:15) Today, let us ask the Lord what areas of our mind He wants us to renew. There is nothing to add to what He has already given us. Let us simply receive His Word into our hearts. He is the Word. (Ref John

This morning’s verses talk about our hearts for the Lord.  As in the days of Deuteronomy, we no longer need to strive for the blessings as we have already received them. (Ref Ephesians 1:3) Because we have already received them in the spirit, everything starts from the spirit, soul, then onto body. (Ref 1 Thessalonians 5:23) Our hearts for the Lord are through faith and rest. (Ref Hebrews 4:3) For example, we are created in His image (Ref Genesis 1:27) and are like Christ. (R

This morning’s verses talk about the wilderness experience of the Israelis before entering into the promised land. One of the reasons why we experience wilderness is because of the test we need to pass just like Jesus did before He went on to begin His public ministry. (Ref Luke 4) Today, let us choose to pass the tests the Lord is giving to us so that we may proceed to the promised land the Lord has prepared for each one of us. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning’s verses talk about His grace which He revealed as the Israelis were released from Egypt into Wilderness.  We experience salvation through faith in His grace. (Ref Ephesians 2:8) Faith is about believing in what He has already accomplished. We can then experience His grace, His gift.  Today, let us choose to believe in the amazing work the Lord has already accomplished for us. We can then experience the supernatural, abundant life, Christ died to give us.  May th

This morning’s verses talk about the Israelis having grown in numbers despite being persecuted in Egypt.  His plans prevail no matter how challenging the circumstances we face are. In other words, our growth, success, prosperity does not depend on the environment we surround ourselves with, the pressures we face, but on His faithfulness. Because He has given us the power to enjoy challenges, (Ref James 1:2) we can even experience better results.  Today, let us not look to cir

This morning's verses talk about interceding and praying for the people around us.  The Scriptures teach us to pray in tongues when we do not know what to pray about. (Ref Romans 8:26) Do we understand the very needs of the people that need our prayers? The Scriptures teach us to be quick to listen. (Ref James 1:19) Today, let us intercede for others in prayer. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about the Lord being our inheritance.  When the Lord welcomed back the prodigal son, He told him that all He has is his. (Ref Luke 15:31) The Bible also teaches us that we are coheirs with Christ. (Ref Romans 8:17) This is an amazing and overwhelming truth. We receive everything from the Lord including Himself.  Today, let us remember that we have more than enough because of the Lord. Our part is to be a blessing to others. (Ref Genesis 12:2-3, Gala

This morning’s verses talk about the Word of God being able to be carried around with ease on tablets of stone.  Scriptures say that the Word of God is now written on our hearts. (Ref 2 Corinthians 3:3) It is within us in this day and age after Jesus died on the cross for our sins. This is how the Holy Spirit would reveal to us the Word of God, and we can confirm them by going through the Scriptures from the Bible.  Today, let us remind ourselves that the Word of God is in us

This morning's devotional talks about the Israelis complaining in the wilderness that the Lord is not capable of bringing them into the promised land.  Are we complaining to the Lord that He is not answering our prayers, not seeing our desires fulfilled? The Lord says in the Scriptures that the reason why they couldn't enter was because of their unbelief. (Ref Hebrews 3:19) For them it was the giants whom they thought were stronger than them. How about for us? Who are the gia

This morning's verses talk about the truth and the promise He has already given to us. Our role as believers is to take possession of what He has already given to us. The Lord wants us to take more territory of our souls. He wants us all to grow spiritually and others around us to know Him and grow accordingly.  Today, let us seek His guidance in terms of how we can grow spiritually. Because we have received His love, we are to share with others what He has taught us. (Ref 1

This morning's verses talk about intercession for others through prayer.  What can we pray about for others? Our spouses, family, relatives, church, friends, neighbors, colleagues etc.? Today, let us seek His guidance for prayer of intercession. May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about preparation before breaking through to the next season in life.  Moses went up Mount Sinai, remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights, did not eat food or drink water, then the 10 commandments were given. Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days tempted by the devil but then proceeded to begin His public ministry. (Ref Luke 4) Wilderness experience is a preparation, a set up for the next season in life.  Today, let us continue to pre

This morning's verses talk about His righteousness that gives us the victory. We can rest in the truth that when we believe in His righteousness we can experience His rest. (Ref Hebrews 4:3) When we receive, believe and confess that we are like Christ, (Ref 1 John 4:17) that we have the spirit of focus already in us already, (Ref Philippians 3:13) we can experience change effortlessly, having focus in our walk with Christ. (Ref Proverbs 18:21) Today, let us continue to choose

This morning’s verses talk about the Israelis driving out nations greater and more powerful than themselves.  One of the ways to know if we are in the will of God is if we are facing challenges bigger than ourselves. Are we comfortable doing what we are doing or is there a sense of discomfort? His will is for us to choose discomfort taking on challenges bigger than ourselves so that His glory can be revealed through us.  Today, let us choose to take the challenging path, espe

This morning's verses talk about the Lord giving us the power to get wealth, and that He would give us good things at the end to test us and so that we would depend on Him.  Our access to His wealth requires our faith with actions. (Ref James 2:17) We may have been faithfully following Him but the desired provision may not have come about yet. Today's verses teach us that He wants us to depend on Him each day. He promises that His provision will be there at the end of the day

This morning’s verses talk about manna, our daily bread.  He says that He allowed the Israelis to go hungry so that they may thirst not only for physical bread but most importantly for the Word of God. It is important that we first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, so that He can add to us what we need abundantly. (Ref Matthew 6:33) Today, let us seek Him first above all else. How do we start each day? May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's verses talk about not to be afraid, and take small steps to move forward to take new territories, to increase His influence through us.   The Word "fear" is used in this instance which is a verb. In other words, fear is not an emotion but an action.  What matters is what we do honoring the Lord despite emotional fear. We can still continue to do what the Lord is leading us to do despite emotional fear. Have we mistaken His peace for our comfort? We may not feel

This morning’s verses talk about the steadfast lovingkindness of our Lord. What is He speaking to us to do today so that we can experience His lovingkindness? With the foundation that we are like Jesus, as He is, so are we in this world, (Ref 1 John 4:17) we can choose to think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Ref Philippians 4:8) He fills our blindspots with His Word with His lovingkindness so that we can continue to grow and breakthrough to new levels.

This morning's verses talk about His love for us that is unconditional but still expects us to respond in faith to experience victory.  The Lord loved Israel not because they were large in number who seemed qualified to be loved because they would be able to do what the Lord wanted them to do.  They were in fact the fewest.  However, the Lord still expected them to obey His commandments so that they could experience the victories that the Lord desired in the promised land.  T
