God speaks today Sunday | July 23, 2023

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. (Deuteronomy 6:7)

Effective instruments

To be an effective evangelist, a Christian must have total surrender to Christ, absolute faith in what they preach, reflect Christ in their lives, maintain communion with God, have knowledge and mastery of the Word of God, listen carefully and detect individual needs, persevere in the face of rejection, and let their heart speak while being humble. The reward is already given for obedience to this mission, and love is the best way to present Christ to those in need of knowing Him. Read more...

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : Thank you for speaking to me every day my LORD. I need you.
Dear Enrique Meneses Muñoz, Thank you for sharing your comment and expressing your gratitude to the Lord. It is beautiful to recognize our need for Him in our daily lives. In Milagros García Klibansky's devotional, she also highlights the importance of giving ourselves totally to Christ. As mentioned in point 1 of the requirements to be effective carriers of the message of salvation, we must renounce our self and live according to the word of God. It is in this process of delivery and transformation that we experience the constant presence of the Lord in our lives. Remember also the words of Jesus in Mark 8:34, where he calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow him. Our dependence on God leads us to recognize that we need to be close to Him at all times. May the Lord continue to bless your relationship with Him and strengthen you in your daily walk. God bless you!

Maria del pilar: How important it is to be light in the midst of darkness. The testimony of Timothy's grandmother and mother was very important for him to follow the true path that is to follow Jesus...we have to reflect God's love in our lives so that our children and grandchildren continue the legacy that our God entrusted to us. God bless you my brothers and thank you for the devotionals I receive daily.

God bless you abundantly!
Rosa María : Good morning, very good message, I personally liked it, I understood it and I totally agree with those six main points in the life of a Christian, we must reflect on each one of them that speaks pure truth. Just a few days ago I was thinking about all that because sometimes we are ashamed or afraid to speak about the word of God. (Although I feel fear or laziness in me.) I told myself something is wrong in my relationship with God because what I feel should not be where I detect FEAR! FEAR of FAILING my CREATOR!!! And I began to see every detail that you list Remedios in this devotional and I began to search with more delicacy, with more faith, with more love, with more credibility that my God is present and attends to me, listens to me 🙏 WHAT IS REAL and doing everything is not like for man but to put my eyes totally on him and do everything as for me Lord Jesus Christ and all fear and shame goes away!!! Although I am a woman of faith I know that at some point I will weaken, I am realistic and I know that sometimes even though I feel strong, I am weak. I am not perfect but my God will finish the work he has started in me. It's my feeling. Let us continue to grow until we reach the stature of Christ Jesus. I love you in the love of Christ Jesus Our Lord. Amen
Dear Rosa María, Thank you for sharing your experience and such sincere reflections. It is wonderful to see how you have identified the fear and shame that can sometimes arise when speaking the word of God. As you mention, this tells us that something may be unbalanced in our relationship with Him. But it is also inspiring to see how you have begun to search with more delicacy, faith, love and credibility in the presence of God.
