Today's reading: Numbers 4:1-20

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17

Three Italian workers returning home from Switzerland after the holiday season met on the St. Gotthard pass. The first said, "This year was my best one so far. I earned a nice sum of money as a waiter in the Imperial Hotel. Another year like that and I won't have to work as a waiter again."
The next also reported that financially, his season was good. "What about you?" they asked the third man. His tale was different. He said, "In the hotel where I worked, I cared for a very sick guest who wouldn't go to hospital. As he neared his end, he asked, â€˜Isn't there anyone here who can comfort a dying man?' He took my hand and pleaded with me to say a word of comfort and assurance of faith to him."
"Sweat broke out all over me. I couldn't say a word, I was so embarrassed. Then I remembered my mother's Bible at the bottom of my suitcase. I fetched it and read the man a few verses that my mother had underlined. I came across the verse: â€˜God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
The dying man lifted up his hands and repeated the words. Suddenly a change came over him. The anguish in his heart vanished, and his face radiated with joy. With an effort he managed to say, â€˜Thank you, now I have everlasting life and will go to Jesus in heaven.'
Since that happened, I have read the Bible myself every day. And I have also found Jesus as my Saviour and beem made happy. So I can also say that this was my best year."

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain. Down the line, God had to intervene to enable Jacob eat the fruit of his labour. For a reader of this devotional, in every area that you...More
