Devotions
“What your heart holds onto can easily take hold of you. When we hold onto God’s Word in our hearts, it becomes our stronghold.”
In the whirl of everyday activities, how do we find the time to take care of our spiritual life? With so many conflicting forces fighting for our attention, it’s more important than ever before to spend quality time daily in the Living Word of God – the one source of truth and constancy we can always depend on! As
Matthew 24:35 says, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” As you read these devotionals from the God’s Heart TV Team, we pray that God would open your heart to His wisdom and help you to see
life clearly – through His eyes.
WISEMEN STILL SEEK JESUS
Matthew 2:11-12, “On coming to the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.” As Christians, we’re on a journey and faith is our movement towards God. In the process of navigating the narrow path that is set before us…
LET IT BE ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD
Matthew 1:20, “But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.’”In this world where there are so many conflicting views and voices, what is the factor that holds sway in your heart? What is the prevailing influence when it comes to your daily life…
FROM SCARS TO SERVICE
Matthew 14:13-14, “When Jesus heard what had happened, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed Him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.” The news of the death of His cousin, John the Baptist, and the associated feelings of grief, could not stop Jesus Christ from responding with compassion when He saw people without faith and hope. He didn’t…
CHANNEL YOUR HURT INTO HELP
Colossians 3:13, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” The fact that you are following Jesus does not make you immune to words that can wound, opportunities that can offend and relationships that can cause reproach. What you have passed through, while living in this imperfect world, may have caused you real pain, but it will only poison you to the degree that you believe…
UNFORGIVENESS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND
Matthew 18:21-22, “Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.’” Why are many people merely managing their lives when they could be maximizing? Limping through it, when they could be leaping? Surviving when they could be thriving? It is often simply symptomatic of a life that has become…
SEE BEYOND THE MIRACLE
Luke 17:17-19, “So Jesus answered and said, ‘Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?’ And He said to him, ‘Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.’” The Bible makes clear that no matter the situation, God can make a way where there seems to be no way. But take note: He will not make a way for you that takes you away from Him. In…
TOOLS OF TRANSFORMATION
Luke 5:4-6, “When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ‘Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’But Simon answered and said to Him, ‘Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your Word I will let down the net.’ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish.” People of God, God is not behind your pain, but He can use it as a tool of transformation when you…
TRUST IS RESERVED FOR GOD ALONE
Psalm 118:8-9, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” People of God, any relationship must be formed on the framework of mutual trust, mutual love and mutual understanding for that relationship to move forward. And while we should expect others to do what is right, we should be governed by this principle: we love everyone but trust is reserved for God alone. Although…
GOD’S REWARD IS SPIRITUAL
Proverbs 22:1, “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” People of God, how do you define success, blessing or progress? The world measures success by material things. For example, we think someone is successful because of their stature, their financial resources or their position in society. I’m not saying that such things cannot be a sign of success, but we should not use worldly definitions or yardsticks knowing that…
