Day 150 - Resolve To Revere God Read: Psalm 119:81-88; Proverbs 2:19-22; Hebrews 3; Joshua 21-22 Hebrews 3 8  Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, 9  Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. 10  Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, 'They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.' 11  So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' " 12  Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13  but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14  For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 18  And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19  So we see that they could not enter in b

Day 149 - To Save Us Read: Psalm 119:73-80; Proverbs 2:16-18; Hebrews 2; Joshua 19-20 Hebrew 2 17  Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18  For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. Christmas is just over. But, the true meaning of Christmas must always be remembered. Why did Jesus need to come as a Baby? Recently, a kitten fell into a drain. My neighbour and I were trying our level best to rescue the kitten, even to the extend of going down into the drain. However, the kitten ran away from us. I called the “Bomba” (fire brigade) to come. 6 strong men came and went down into the drain as well. The kitten was still running away from us and up until today, the kitten is still in the drain. What a good illustration as to why Jesus had to come as a Baby in the form of a hu

Day 148 - Possess What God Has Given Us Read: Psalm 119:65-72; Proverbs 2:13-15; Hebrews 1; Joshua 17-18 Joshua 18 3  Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you? 4  Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me. God reminded me that I cannot be complacent and neglected to go and possess the “land” which the Lord God has given to us. We are to go out and to make disciples for the Lord, to bring in more people to God’s Kingdom in obedience to Jesus’ Last Command but our First Concern (Matthew 28:19-20). In fact, Christmas season is the best time for us to reach out and bless the community to tell them the Greatest Story ever told that Baby Jesus was born to die for us so that we will not die an eternal death (hell) but to enjoy and

Day 147 - Reason For The Season Read: Psalm 119:57-64; Proverbs 2:10-12; Philemon 1; Joshua 15-16 Joshua 15 17  So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 18  Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?" 19  She answered, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. How we just need to ask. Ask and we shall receive. The daughter of Caleb, Achsah knew her father well. She knew that the father has abundance and will be gracious and merciful to her. Similarly, we know our Heavenly Father has more than we can ever imagine or think. His love for us is so wide and long, high and deep that we shall never comprehend the extend of love He has for us. Suffice that we kno

Day 145 - The Secret Success of a Leader Read: Psalm 119:41-48; Proverbs 2:4-6; Titus 2; Joshua 11-12 Joshua 11 15 As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses. There is no doubt that Joshua was a good leader. Here we have a glimpse as to his secret of success. He was obedient to his mentor, Moses. The words used are, “left nothing undone of ALL that the Lord had commanded Moses”. To be a good leader, we must first obey our leader. As Christians, our leader is none other than our Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lord Jesus Christ. Are there areas in our lives that we ourselves have not been obedient to Jesus? Are we still struggling to to be obedient ourselves? Learn from Joshua who had gone before us who showed us the secret of success of a leader. #devotion #leadership #SuccessOfALeader #success #mentor #obedient https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC

Day 146 - Wholly Follow the Lord Read: Psalm 119:49-56; Proverbs 2:7-9; Titus 3; Joshua 13-14 “Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God. So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children’s forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.’ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with
