The Word For The Day

Jesus said, "I am the Way-no one comes to the Father except through Me."

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. Until now you have not asked for anything. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." John 16:23-24

Miracles happen in Jesus' name.

Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." The man got up and he walked. In Jesus’ name supernatural signs, wonders, healings, and miracles happen and satan trembles at the name of Jesus!

There were five thousand hungry men besides women and children. They had been listening to Jesus' teaching for hours on end. The disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away."

Jesus told His disciples to do the impossible: "You give them something to eat.” “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied.

Jesus said to Peter, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon Peter answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” WHEN THEY HAD DONE SO, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. Luke 5: 4-6

I am sure that no matter what you are going through or what you have already been through, the best is yet to come! All you need to do is hold on because help is on the way! Jesus will help you!

The disciples invited Jesus into their boat, then they followed His instruction, even though, it didn't make any sense. The result was the boat was full of fish that they were almost sinking. That’s something we have got to learn to do when it comes to following Jesus-- to do as we are told.

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” — Acts 1:8

Is this promise only for the early Christians? What do the scriptures say?  "The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off" (Acts 2:39). Jesus said, "If you being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:13).

Acts 2:17 In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

This promise is yours for the asking. Ask and you will receive so that your joy may be full.

Prayer

"Honour your father and mother, that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." Ephesians 6:2-3

This promise is mentioned in Exodus 20:12 as well.

Parents are not perfect. They may have done several things to annoy you or hurt you. But they have done umpteen things that we need to be grateful for.

One of the main ways you can honour them is by showing them respect and treating them well.

Make sure your parents always know how much you love and respect them. God will honour you if you will honour your parents.

“Let your father and mother be glad, let her who bore you rejoice.”– Proverbs 23:25

Let's live in a way that causes them to rejoice.
