The Comforter

The love of God has been poured out in our hearts

by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  

Romans 5:56

Today's Bible Reading: Romans 5:1-5.

Before He left His disciples, Christ promised that He would send a Comforter to help them in the trials, cares, and temptations of life. This word comforter means “one that helps alongside.” He is the Holy Spirit, the powerful Third Person of the Trinity. The moment you believe on the Lord Jesus, the moment you claim Christ as your Saviour, at that very moment, you are born again, and the Holy Spirit takes up residence in your heart. You may not emotionally feel Him there, but you must exercise faith. Believe it! Accept it as a fact of faith! He is in your heart to help you. We are told that He sheds the love of God abroad in our hearts. He produces the fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance” (Galatians 5:22-23). We cannot possibly manufacture this fruit in our own strength. It is supernaturally manufactured by the Holy Spirit who lives in our hearts!

Prayer: Lord God Almighty, I praise You for Your Holy Spirit who guides and keeps me in all my ways. In Jesus name. Amen.

Wisdom to Understanding

For the Lord gives wisdom;

From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:6

Today's Bible Reading: John 14:1-6.

When the Lord Jesus uttered His words of comfort in the first few verses of John's Gospel chapter 14, He concluded with, "And where I go you know, and the way you know” (John 14:4), Thomas said unto Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” (John 14:5). Jesus answered him with a statement which has in it the ring of eternity. It was sublimely simple and yet profoundly deep. Its meaning was clear to all, and yet the great theologians have never completely sounded its mighty depths. This is that statement, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6).

In one majestic statement, these words silenced Thomas’ questioning tongue and brought reassurance and peace to the hearts of the other disciples. Within the wonder of that authoritative sentence from the lips of the Son of God, there was enough comfort to pacify the sufferings of the tormented, enough wisdom to satisfy those who yearned for understanding, and enough power to set the great Christian movement in motion.

Prayer:  Father, Thank You that Your Son has made know the way to Heaven., I Praise and bless You 1n Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Generous By Name  

The generous soul will be made rich,

And he who waters will also be watered himself.

Proverbs 11:25

Today's Bible Reading: 1 Peter 4:7–11.

Generosity and hospitality are not optional virtues for the Christian—they are marks of a life shaped by Christ Himself. Proverbs 11:25 tells us, “The generous soul will be made rich.” Generosity is not merely an action; it flows from a transformed heart. When we give, serve, and welcome others, we mirror the gracious character of our Lord.

Peter encourages believers, especially in challenging times, to love fervently and to be “hospitable to one another without grumbling” (1 Peter 4:9). Hospitality is an open door to the Gospel. People are far more willing to listen to our message when they see Christ-like love in our lives. A closed home or a closed heart often leads to a closed ear. If we show no kindness, no time, and no willingness to help, why would anyone believe the Gospel has power to change lives?

Across cultures, generosity speaks loudly. It crosses barriers, softens hearts, and demonstrates that the Christian life is more than words—it is a living witness. Scripture reminds us that when giving hospitality “some have unwittingly entertained angels” (Hebrews 13:2). When we welcome others, we honour God, serve His people, and may even touch eternity in ways we cannot yet see.

Let us therefore be “generous by nature,” not from duty but from devotion. As we give, God waters our own souls, and through our hospitality, others may be drawn to the Saviour we proclaim.

Prayer: Oh Lord my God, make my heart generous and my home hospitable, that my life may faithfully reflect Your love to all I meet. For Christ's sake. Amen.
