Testimonies of the Impact of The Word for Today
We received the following beautiful testimony from Coxwain about how God is continuing to work through the lives of a local church that he was visiting…
Good afternoon Ian and Grant.
Trust you had a great and enjoyable Christmas celebration with your family members.
I happened to attend one of the local Churches in town last Sunday.
The preacher gave an opportunity for the Church members and attendees who wanted to share their life journey experiences and testimonies in 2023.
A number of Church members testified about their spiritual life and journey with Christ.
I did not expect but I heard a few of them talking about The Word for Today and how much it really helped and empowered them in their daily devotions and spiritual journey in 2022 & 2023 while sharing their testimonies.
They were asking when the 2024 edition would arrive. Fortunately, I was there and had to stand up and explained the situation.
Two of the elderly and senior women by the name of Nancy & Rose approached me and spoke to me about how much The Word for Today really means to them after the service.
Marama Nancy Riti, the wife of a former Moderator of the United Church In SI, late Philmon Riti was in tears when she testified, she expressed her joy and appreciation how The Word for Today really helped her spiritual life and journey.
She did not hesitate to declare to the congregation that she has been reading The Word for Today each day, following the allocated dates.
Unfortunately, I could get a better picture of her and Rose.
Marama Nancy Riti is in the far left standing, Rose Tora is sitting in front with her grandchild.
They insisted that as soon as the 2024 edition arrives, I would let them know so they can get their copies asap.
Kind regards,

Encouraged to bring our burdans to Jesus
This testimony from our team in Nepal celebrates the testimony from Suresh who is a graphic designer and how he found encouragement in The Word for Today devotion from the passage in 1 Peter 5:7 ‘Cast your burdans upon Him, for He cares for you.’ This passage drew Suresh closer to God in a new and amazing way.

Inspiration for you from…
A prayer of commitment to God
‘I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.’ John 1 7:4 NKJV
If the desire of your heart is to please God and fulfil His will for your life, here is a prayer for you:
‘Lord, I thank You that even though You know everything about me, You still love me. You know my thoughts, my mistakes, my sins, and yet You still call me your child. Your grace towards me is beyond comprehension. More than anything else, I want to know You intimately and sense Your presence in my life each day. If there is any part of me that I have kept from You, show me so that I can invite You to rule and reign there. Come into me, Holy Spirit, and revive my soul with rivers of living water. Then flow out through me into a dry and thirsty world (see John 7:38-39). Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You instead of others (see Hebrews 12:1-2). Lord, be my richest treasure always. Help me never to make an idol out of anyone or anything or allow possessions or the distractions of this world to get in front of You in any way. You are my healer, my hope, and my strength. When I need freedom, You are my deliverer. You are my shield from the Enemy, my counsellor when I need guidance, and my stronghold in the day of trouble (see Psalm 32:7). Truly, You are the God of miracles. Work Your miracles of grace in my life and keep changing me from day to day into Your likeness (see 2 Corinthians 3:18).
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.’
