November 15, 2024 Only He Can Wash Away Our Sins
Acts 22: 15-16
In this chapter of Acts, we see Paul sharing his testimony with the Jews who were accusing him of bringing Gentiles into the temple.
Paul asked the commander for permission to address the crowd, and he proceeded to share his story. However, the crowd was uninterested, and the soldiers took him to the barracks.
During his testimony, Paul emphasized an important point: he had been baptized, and his sins were washed away by calling on the name of Jesus, who provided Paul with the opportunity for salvation.
Jesus is the only one who can forgive our sins, which can burden us greatly. As Romans 6:23 states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." So today, give your sins to Jesus so that He can forgive them.

November 14, 2024 This Is Not Our Final Destination
Acts 21: 12-14; Ephesians 1:13-14
In this chapter, the disciples express their concerns about Paul going to Jerusalem because they know he will be handed over to the authorities. Despite their worries, Paul remains untroubled; he understands that if this is the end of his life, it will be worth it for the sake of the Lord Jesus. This scripture reveals a Paul who fully trusts in Jesus and is willing to die for Him.
Paul has a heavenly perspective; he once persecuted believers, but after encountering Jesus, he transformed into a disciple tasked with sharing his story of redemption with those who have yet to know the awaited Messiah. Throughout his journeys, Paul finds joy in serving Jesus. He experiences the fulfillment of seeing converts repent and receive the Holy Spirit as the seal of their inheritance in heaven.
Today, take a moment to be grateful that you are on your way to a new home, even as we depart from this life. This new home is filled with love and peace, where we will rejoice with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

November 13, 2024 Giving Has Benefits
Acts 20:34-35; Psalm 50:10-12
In this chapter, Paul encourages the church in Ephesus to remember his lifestyle, where he worked diligently and contributed to his fellow ministers, emphasizing that it is better to give than to receive.
There are countless reasons to give, but one key truth stands out: we should give because God gave us His most precious possession—His only Son.
We are called to give because we receive from the Father, who owns everything, as expressed in the Psalm "the cattle on a thousand hills" are His. We are merely His stewards here on earth.
Moreover, giving offers emotional benefits; we tend to be happier when we give, unlike those who hoard and do not share.
So today, consider giving to your fellow ministers, your church, your family, and your friends. Since God has given so generously to us, we should honor Him by giving in return.

November 12, 2024 Great Fruit After Been Forbidden
Acts 19:6,10-12, 19-20; Acts 16:6
Today, it’s time to change our attitude towards the things that God has forbidden us to do. Whether we act on them now or later is up to Him, as He knows when our efforts will bear fruit.
In Acts 19, God granted Paul the right anointing to heal people, cast out demons, and, most importantly, make disciples in the name of Jesus. While we may only see a limited distance ahead, God can see all the people who will benefit from our presence and work at the appointed time He has destined for us.
Paul experienced great rewards by waiting for all the Jews and Greeks in Asia to hear the word of the Lord from him. God had previously prevented him from going, but on his second attempt, the field was ready for him to plant seeds and witness their growth.
So, don’t be discouraged today if you wish to act right now but feel God is asking you to wait. Focus on what needs to be done in the present, and trust that God will guide you to pursue what you desire at the right moment.

November 11, 2024 Instruct New Believers
Acts 18: 1-5,24-28
In this chapter, we see Paul interacting with fellow believers, working at his trade, and demonstrating his independence from the financial support of other believers. Paul exemplified what it means to be a true disciple of Christ, as he devoted himself to guiding others in His way.
We also learn about Apollos, a Messianic Jew who accurately shared the gospel with the Jewish community. Initially, he only understood the baptism of John, but he was later taught the correct path to God by Priscilla and Aquila when they took him aside. After this, he effectively demonstrated through the Scriptures that Jesus was indeed the Christ.
The key takeaway from this chapter is the importance of teaching our brothers and sisters the Scriptures with love and respect, avoiding any embarrassment in front of others. We should encourage new believers to preach and share the Scriptures, even if their understanding is limited to the essentials.
Let us motivate one another so that the gospel can spread more rapidly and accurately throughout all regions of the world.

November 08, 2024 Let's Relate But Share The Truth
Acts 17:23-31
In this chapter, Paul goes to Athens and shares the message of repentance by relating to the Athenians. For they were worshiping God in their ignorance, without even knowing Him.
Paul also shares that God cannot be created or worshiped by idols made by our human thoughts or the arts of gold, silver, or gold.
Then Paul related to the people by letting them know that it is God who gives us life, breath, and all things to be lived in his appointed set time on this earth. He clarifies that in Him, we live, move, and exist. We cannot go anywhere without God knowing where we are, as it states in Psalm 139:7–12.
Paul told them that their alter made to the Unknown God is the eternal one he was proclaiming, and they needed to repent, for one day they would be judged by the Appointed one who was raised from the dead.
Today, relate to your friends, but always share the truth and that is with love and kindness. God is in the art of relationships and communion with us so, that we can be grateful for our days and live, move, and have our being in His full view.

November 07, 2024 On the Way
Acts 16: 6, 10, 14-16,18, 28-33. Proverbs 2:6, 10
The Lord opens the hearts of those He saves, just as He did for Lydia. He can do the same for you. God saved Lydia and her household.
On the way to the house of prayer, Paul delivered a slave girl from a spirit of divination. However, her masters beat Paul and Silas, causing them to be thrown into prison. While in prison, they remained faithful to God through worship and prayer, and God heard them. He sent an earthquake that opened the prison cell doors, yet they chose not to escape. The guard, thinking they had fled, almost killed himself. Paul stopped him, assuring him that they were still there. The guard then brought them out and asked, "What must I do to be saved?" Paul and Silas responded, and he and his household were saved and baptized.
Therefore, even on our journeys, we may face hardships, but God always provides moments of joy. Unexpectedly, He opens the door for us to enjoy the rich harvest of souls being saved through our efforts on the way.

November 06, 2024 What Consecrate Us As Gentiles?
Acts 15: 1-2, 4-5,8-10,20,29; Mark 7:18-20
What defines us as gentiles is not the law, but what comes from the heart. Jesus changes hearts and lives.
When Peter, Paul, and Barnabas preached to the Gentiles, they received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which cleansed their hearts. God provided them with a new way of living: to accept Jesus as their Savior. He fulfilled the law and gave His life as a ransom for many who believe in His saving grace.
We no longer need to be circumcised to enter heaven or strictly follow the law of Moses, for Jesus left us two new commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength," and "Love your neighbor as yourself."Matthew 22:34-40. By following these two commandments, we effectively obey the law and are saved by grace.

November 05, 2024 Our Faith Can Make Us Well
Acts 14:1-10, 19-22; Matthew 24:13; James 1:2-4
You may be facing a major challenge or obstacle in your life, whether it’s related to your health, finances, or a fundamental lack of faith. I encourage you today to have faith. Pray those bold prayers for provision and healing that you have been longing for. As it says in 1 Corinthians 10:13a, God does not give us more than we can bear. Some struggles in life require more faith than others. In those moments, we need to pray fervently, trusting and hoping that our prayers have been heard.
I personally struggle with negativity; I often look at the worst-case scenario, and I’m grateful when things don’t turn out as bad as I imagined. Recently, I earned a certification in positive psychology, which taught me the importance of evaluating my thoughts. This allows me to ask myself, "What am I thinking?" and then to step back from those thoughts.
Today, I invite you to have faith in your miracle, for after enduring several trials, it will come. Life is filled with ups and downs, but during our low moments, we need to trust with even the smallest seed of faith we may have in God to bring about a miracle, renew our lives, and restore our well-being.

November 01, 2024 God Gathers His Chosen
Acts 13
In this chapter, we see that Paul, Barnabas, and the apostle John fulfilled Jesus's command to spread his message to the ends of the earth, which included reaching out to the Gentiles. Paul and Barnabas were set apart by the Holy Spirit before heading to Antioch. And at the end of visiting that city they were filled with joy and the The Holy Spirit for they preached to those God fearing men and appointed gentiles and Jews in that community.
This chapter illustrates that God calls those He has predestined or appointed for eternal life, who believe in the message that Paul and others shared with them—specifically, their belief in Jesus as Savior.
I encourage you to preach to everyone, as God has predestined many, though only He knows who these individuals are. When we proclaim the good news, God beautifies the humble and grants them eternal life once they believe.
