His Word for Today

This morning's verses talk about being grateful to the Lord. How far has He led us from the days when we were sinners? We are now not only the righteousness of God in Christ (Ref 2 Corinthians 5:21) but have also borne fruits because of His faithfulness. (Ref John 15:5) We have been led by the Lord to make the Godly choices that also led to bearing Godly fruits. It is the day to think about the good things He has done through us.  Today, let us think about areas we can be gra

This morning's verses talk about the breakthrough that suddenly comes.  Israelis had to leave Egypt suddenly (Exodus 12:31, Exodus 12:39), which means that the door for freedom arrived out of the blue. Our breakthroughs to new levels in our lives may come suddenly. If the breakthroughs to new levels of responsibilities, opportunities are to come suddenly, what should we do now? We can be prepared with hope and expectation that the sudden breakthroughs shall come.  Today, let

This morning's verses talk about the first born. What do we do with our first born, the first fruit? The Lord is interested in our hearts. How do we reveal what is in our hearts? Through giving to Him our first fruit, our increase. The Bible promises that He will then give us abundantly. (Ref Proverbs 3:9) It is important that we trust Him with our resources surrendering to Him. This may be the opportunity for our financial breakthrough. Today, let us seek His guidance regard

This morning's verses talk about giving without expecting anything in return. We may be tested to be generous to those who may not have anything to thank us back in return. (Ref Matthew 25:35-40, Luke 6:35) But this is God's teaching which means that this is for our good. We need to remind ourselves that the more we have, the more responsibility we will have. His will is for us to have light burdens. (Ref Matthew 11:28-30) We can not only unload the responsibilities of managi

This morning's verses talk about comforting others the way we were comforted.  We may be faced in an uncomfortable situation in relationships having to deal with rude and offensive personalities. But how have we been offensive and rude towards the Lord Who has forgiven us of all of our sins past, present and future? (Ref 1 Peter 3:18) When we read through the Law in the Old Testament, the Scripture teaches us that the Law was given so that we may know how sinful we are. (Ref

This morning's verses talk about generosity. Our generous attitude produces blessings and prosperities in all we do.  As we release our finances onto the Lord Who will then direct us to release them to those in need, we feel lighter because we are not holding onto things, (Ref Matthew 11:28-30), experience joy because it is more blessed to give than to receive. (Ref Acts 20:35) And as our soul prospers, everything else also prospers. (Ref 3 John 1:2) Today, let us seek His gu

This morning's verses talk about His plan for us to be blessed. It is His will that we are debt free, have abundance in finances, and be the head and not the tail. Where are we now in these areas? He teaches that it is through being obedient to the Lord that we can experience these blessings. In the days we live in after Christ died on the cross for us, He lives in us so all of these blessings are already ours. (Ref Galatians 2:20, Galatians 3:29) But we can see these blessin

This morning’s verses talk about financial giving and the blessings that are connected.  To whom are our finances, resources belong to? Our God is the owner of our resources and we are His managers entrusted to steward to His ways. If we are His servant, it is obvious that whatever we do shall be blessed too. If we want to live out the abundant life Christ died to give us, (Ref John 10:10) we need to deal with the money matters first.  Today, let us ask ourselves if we have r

This morning's verses talk about our heart for the Lord. Where is our heart? He is commanding the Israelis to tithe but is directing them to use the tithe for the feast. He is not interested in receiving our wealth but our hearts. It is not so much what we do but our hearts, our motives that matter. (Ref Hebrews 4:12) Today, let us assess where our heart is. Our hearts can be found in what we treasure. (Ref Matthew 6:21) May the Lord continue to richly bless you!

This morning's devotional talks about believers being set apart.  Are we set apart? Do we see the fruit that we are different as lights in the darkness? Are we afraid of being different? We may feel uncomfortable being different but that may be a sign that we are set apart. We may even stand out in the Church among believers.  Today, let us accept the truth that we are holy and set apart as believers. We need to get used to being uncomfortable about being different from the m

This morning's verses talk about the Lord honoring our freewill.  Throughout the day, we are presented with the opportunity to make choices, whether good or bad in the sight of the Lord. But the key is the motive which He sees. (Ref Hebrews 4:12) We may not make the right choices, making mistakes but He is more interested in our humility to accept the wrong and focus on our growth. (Ref Proverbs 24:16) Today, let us focus on humility and growth. We may not get it right but we

This morning's verses talk about the Lord testing our faith. Lord created the heavens and the earth. He created some so that He can use them to test our faith to see which one we would choose, good or bad. (Ref Genesis 2:15-17) What we need to understand is that the good that we choose is about the attitude we choose, not necessarily about being right or correct.  We may be wrong but does this mean that our choice was bad? We can still maintain the good by choosing to accept

This morning's verses talk about following His guidance. What is He speaking to us today even what to eat and not to eat? There are consequences to every choice we make whether good or bad.  No matter what is going on in our lives, the Truth is that believers hear His voice and follow Him. (Ref John 10:27) Jesus did only what His Father did following His example. (Ref John 5:19) He perfectly obeyed the Father Who is perfect. (Ref Romans 5:19, 2 Corinthians  5:21) As believers

This morning's verses talk about the chosen ones. The Scriptures teach that many are called but few are chosen. (Ref Matthew 22:14) If we have heard of the Gospel and have accepted the Gospel through faith, we are saved. (Ref Ephesians 2:8) So what is the next step as believers? Today, let us work out our own salvation (Ref Philippians 2:12) because faith without action is dead. (Ref James 2:26) What is He speaking to us to do today? (Ref John 10:27) May the Lord continue to

This morning's verses talk about the attacks from the enemy. Are there any thoughts that are knocking on your mind that are trying to keep you away from following Christ? The key is to continue and be consistent in fighting the good fight, choosing to stay focused on Christ.  (Ref  1 Timothy 6:12) Today, let us continue to focus on Christ, the Word, and meditate on the Scriptures He has given to us.  May the Lord continue to bless you today, and the year 2026!

This morning's verses talk about idols in our lives.  Have we let anything take the place of the Lord? Finances, people’s expectations, approval from others, criticism from others etc.? It is the truth that sets us free. (Ref John 8:32) It is Christ that sets us free. He is the way, the Truth and the life. (Ref John 14:6) The Truth  used in these two verses in Greek is alētheia. Christ is the Word (Ref John 1:1) Who became flesh (Ref John 1:14). What Word of God has He spoken

This morning's verses talk about His test to us. In what areas are we being tested? He tests if we make the choices that please Him. For every choice that we make, there are consequences. Are we listening to His voice or the voice of the world's wisdom, what people may say because of their common sense? We may be under pressure to listen to what they say but when we listen to His voice, choose to follow Him, and do what He commands us to do, we experience peace. (Ref Galatian

This morning's verses talk about the truth that Christ is all we need. We can learn about Christ through the Scriptures. He gives us Scriptures to lean on in each season of our journeys. And those are all we really need to go through every season of our lives. What Word has He given to us that is unique in this season? We can meditate, confess them throughout the day experiencing His peace and joy from the Lord. (Ref Galatians 5:22-23) Today, let us continue to choose to focu

This morning's verses talk about continuing to renew our minds even if we still experience the old thought habits. (Ref Romans 12:1-2) It is important that we don’t give up on renewing our minds. It takes time for the old ways of thinking to go away. It may even come back but it is important that we fight back with the new Godly thought habits (Ref 1 Timothy 6:12) taking more territories of our hearts.  Today, let us continue to choose to renew our minds. If He directs us to

This morning's verses talk about listening to His Word, obeying them, and prospering.  Our emotions, mind may be going wild because of many ungodly thoughts but we have the mind of Christ. (Ref 1 Corinthians 2:16) We can entrust our soul under His care. Our choice should be to do what He wants us to do and succeed. Today, let us focus on doing what He wants us to do.  May the Lord continue to richly bless you!
