Is not my word like a fire? says the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 23: 29.

I worked for a time on the production line of a firm. One of my colleagues generally read a book during the breaks, while the others chatted about anything and everything. That man, however, avoided all superficial talk. He always turned to his reading matter.

Some time later I noticed that he didn't read various books: he always had the same book with him and read it every time. I observed him for weeks and months. Still the same book after all that time? "How boring!" I thought.

At some stage I took courage and asked that older colleague, "Tell me, what is that book that you are constantly reading? Doesn't it get boring?" - "You know," he replied, "it depends on the book that you are reading. You are in fact right. I couldn't read the same book for ever. But this book is different: You see, it's the Bible, through which God Himself speaks to me, and that has never become boring."

I still could not grasp the fact that someone could read the selfsame book for months, yet somehow it fascinated me. So I started reading that book, secretly and at home. Now I did not understand everything in it, but I could ask my colleague. Gradually I sensed that God was speaking personally to me, showing me Jesus Christ as the Saviour who died for me to bring me to God.

Sometime later my colleague invited me to come to a service with him, where I could get to know other Christians who believed in the Lord Jesus. Now, 35 years after my conversion, I should not like to be without that fellowship.

Today‘s reading: 2 Kings 6: 1 - 17 · John 18: 33 - 40

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

CAN SATAN RIGHTLY ACCUSE YOU?

Besides discouragement, another weapon Satan uses often against believers is their weaknesses. He simply studies an individual for a period of time and not long after, he identifies the fellow's weakness and capitalizes on it. Take for instance Peter. Satan discovered that Peter is a cowardly person-lacking in...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More

SATAN INTIMIDATES

When Goliath came to the battlefield, he took the form of a big problem but he later became a big opportunity. He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus' Name.
