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)

The Word for Today Impact
We received the following testimony from Tomu who leads UCB Fiji…
An Indo Fijian lady approached me some two weeks ago. I did not recognize her, but she proceeded to tell me that she’s been a follower of Life FM and have been reading the devotionals I delivered to her in the beginning of the year.
She said that the book has been very helpful. She was beaming with excitement as she told me how she and her family have been using the book which had really changed her life. They proceeded to invite me to their home for a Sunday meal at a time of my convenience.
This simple interaction goes to show the level of impact the devotional book is affecting ordinary lives and changing families for Christ. I do not really know their background nor their personal stories, but the level of excitement as they shared about their commitment to read the book each day is enough to tell me that God is working wonders in their lives through simple messages they read in the TWFT.
If you want to help support Tomu in Fiji, we invite you to be part of the Prayer Watchmen team and pray with us daily for the things that we are believing for Fiji. Signup here to be part of the team and stand with us in prayer.

Inspiration for you from…
Getting the most out of your Bible (1)
‘Search for it as for hidden treasure.’ Proverbs 2:4 NIV
When you think about it, studying the Bible is like prospecting for gold or silver. It involves two things:
1) You must look for it. Solomon writes, ‘If you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God’ (Proverbs 2:4-5 NIV). Simply stepping into a mine and glancing around won’t cut it. If you want to get the gold or silver, you must be searching for it. Any miner will inform you that gold doesn’t strike you – you strike gold. The purpose of this devotional isn’t to replace regular Bible reading but to whet your spiritual appetite for it. According to the Barna Research Group, only 9% of Christians read the Bible every day. The question is, are you one of them?
2) You must dig for it. The Spirit of God within you speaks to you as you read His Word.
The story is told about a man who loved to study the Bible. Every time he came to something he didn’t understand, his friend Charlie would pop into his mind. Charlie was a great Bible student; he just seemed to ooze with Biblical wisdom. So whenever the first man encountered a Bible question, he would go to Charlie and say, ‘What does this verse mean? What is God trying to say here?’ One day as he was reading, the Holy Spirit spoke to him and said, ‘Why don’t you just ask me? I’m the one who teaches Charlie.’
So, expect God to speak to you today as you read His Word, and He will.
