For Preparing and Saving

For Preparing and Saving

We received the following Testimonies from Tomu who leads UCB Fiji…

A PASTORS SERMON
I’ve also received word that a local pastor of a Methodist church uses the book to prepare his sermons every Sunday. The daily devotionals have become a helpful tool that he uses to prepare and share his sermons from the pulpit to his congregations every Sunday. It was very encouraging when I heard about this.

SAVING 3 MARRIAGES
A woman who helps with the distribution of the book to the local community shared about how the devotion each morning had saved 3 marriages. These individuals have contemplated divorcing their partners however, the readings from the devotionals each morning have inspired them to renew their vows and work through the marriage with their spouses.

Many Uses One Source

We received the following Testimonies from Tomu who leads UCB Fiji…

WOMENS PRAYER GROUP
The devotional has inspired countless people who use them on a daily basis. One instance, I received feedback from the women’s bible study group at a Local Methodist church that they use the devotional as their source and guide when they come together for their weekly prayer meeting.

SOLO MOMS MORNING DEVOTIONS
At the local Solo Moms Project, the ladies trained in this institution would use the book for their devotion every morning. This trend started way back in 2020 during the first shipment of The Word for Today. The trainees would be given a book each for their daily spiritual sustenance and encouragement in the word.

Enriched by The Word for Today

Enriched by The Word for Today

We received the following testimony from the Message of Hope team in Nepal…

My name is Sanjiv Shah, and I am a member of Experiences Church located in Bhaktapur. In my church, I have the privilege of serving as an assistant pastor, a role that I take great pride in. Over the past eight years, I have been a dedicated reader of “The Word for Today,” which has had a profound impact on both my personal and spiritual life. This publication has not only enriched my understanding but has also become an essential part of my daily routine. I truly believe it is one of the best sources of spiritual nourishment available to me. Its teachings and insights have guided me through various challenges and have significantly contributed to my growth as a person and as a spiritual leader. The wisdom I gain from it continues to inspire me and shape my faith journey. So I would like to Thanks to almighty God for this amazing ministry on earth also thank you to the writer and Message of Hope Nepal for this fruitful ministry.

Bhaktapur (Nepali and Sanskrit: भक्तपुर, pronounced [ˈbʱʌkt̪ʌpur]; lit. “City of Devotees”), known locally as Khwopa and historically called Bhadgaon, is a city in the east corner of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal located about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from the capital city, Kathmandu. Bhaktapur is the smallest city of Nepal as well as the most densely populated. (Bhaktapur data provided by Wikipedia)

Stop and ask for directions

‘The Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.’ John 16:13 NLT

Making decisions without seeking God’s guidance is like trying to fly without radar and a compass. You can do what makes sense based on your past knowledge and experience, but what ‘looks right’ can end up destroying what’s most important to you. The Bible says even the most profound human thinking is foolish to God (see 1 Corinthians 1:18–20). He alone knows the way, and He wants to go ahead of you. It’s a mistake to assume that every opportunity that comes along is from God.

Paul says, ‘Satan changes himself to look like an angel of light.’ (2 Corinthians 11:14 NCV) And while his invitations are packaged to look like he has your best interests at heart, his way invariably leads to ruin (see John 8:44). The Bible says, ‘Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path’ (Psalm 119:105 ESV), to guide you in the ways of righteousness. That’s why it can be fatal to pursue a path that seems right to you without first consulting Him.

Jesus said, ‘When the Spirit of truth comes, He will lead you into all truth. He will not speak His own words, but… only what He hears, and He will tell you what is to come.’ (John 16:13 NCV) The truth is that most of us don’t naturally seek God. It’s only as His Spirit speaks to our hearts that we start desiring His will. Take time to seek the Holy Spirit’s direction. Trust Him. He understands the ramifications of your choices. He will show you ‘the big picture’ and help you stay on the right road.
