God speaks today Sunday | April 28, 2024

Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. (Joshua 13:1)
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Yes, but not yet!

God's promises should motivate us to continue living in hope, but we need to have faith and trust in God's timing and plans. Even when leaders grow old and are unable to continue leading, the work of the Kingdom continues under the direction of the Lord. We must continue to obey, be loyal, humble, consecrated, sacrificial, and loving towards others. God will fulfill his promises, and we are simply servants and ministers in his work. We have already achieved some goals in Christ, but we must keep dyeing the sky with hope and trust that others will take on our responsibilities and continue the work of advancing the Kingdom.

Comments:

Omar: All writing is good for edifying and rebuking man. It always nourishes me and makes me grow. Blessed be the name of YHWH, Father of our Lord Yashua HaMashiaj. Blessed be his Ruah HaKodesh forever.
What a beautiful comment, Omar! It is true that the Word of God nourishes us and makes us grow spiritually. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it is essential to hold on to God's promises and have faith in what is yet to happen, even if it has not yet been completely fulfilled. As it says in 2 Corinthians 4:16, "Therefore we do not faint, but although our outward man is failing, yet our inward man is being renewed day by day." It is a powerful reminder that, despite external difficulties, our spirit is constantly renewed thanks to the strength we find in the Word of God. May the blessing of the Lord continue to accompany you in your spiritual growth!
Enrique Meneses Muñoz : GOD will do his work in me.
What a beautiful and powerful comment, Enrique. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, God is the one who carries out his work through us. Sometimes, as mentioned in the text, we may feel limited by our age, our strength or our circumstances, but it is in those moments when we must remember that God is the one who directs the work. Let us remember that, as expressed in Joshua 13:1, although it seems that there is still much to conquer, God is the one who enables us and guides us in every step. Let us keep faith that He will keep his promise and carry out his work in us. May the work of God continue to manifest in your life, Enrique!
Francisco Diaz S.: Good morning beautiful and necessary congregation - My hope is in Jesus, in meeting Jesus Christ again, in his long-awaited return to put order in this world, to gather his flock and to cleanse the world of evil. - Lord, your will be done and not mine
What beautiful words, Francisco. Your hope in Jesus and his return to bring order and cleanse the world of evil is a powerful reminder that our faith is in the One who is in absolute control. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it is essential to have the conviction of what is expected and to trust that God will fulfill his promises in his perfect time.

Ruth Vives.: Our works go beyond the descent of our flesh. The Holy Spirit stirs us.
What a profound comment, Ruth. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, our works and the advancement of the Kingdom of God go beyond what we can see with the naked eye. It is the Holy Spirit who guides us, transforms us and enables us to accomplish the work that God has prepared for us. Let us remember that, as mentioned in his text, God expects from us obedience, humiliation, prayer and a passion to depend more and more on our relationship with Him every day. It is through the Holy Spirit that we are strengthened and enabled to carry out the will of God in our lives and in the world around us. May the transformative work of the Holy Spirit continue to act in your life, Ruth, and may you continue to be an instrument in God's hands to bring His love and His light to others.

Sabino Marroquín López.: I am 88 years old, and 32 years ago I realized: that water is running out all over the world, and 15 years ago I began to develop the project for the use of rainwater, I have faith in GOD; Someone to carry out this project, thank you GOD amen.
What an inspiring testimony, Sabino. Your dedication and faith in God to carry out a project as important as the use of rainwater is truly admirable. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, sometimes we may feel that our strength is diminishing with age, but it is in those moments when God can take the reins and carry out His work through us. Your faith that God will guide someone to carry out this project reflects a deep trust in His providence and His perfect plan. May your example of perseverance, dedication and trust in God be a light for many, reminding us that, at any age, God can continue using our lives to carry out His purposes. May the Lord continue to bless you and guide you in the completion of this important project. May His grace and wisdom accompany you every step you take, Sabino! Amen!
leida ferrer: God's promise is yes, amen and it is true and it is on the way, certainly, we lack total dedication to achieve that promise: paying the price of consecration, a genuine relationship with God. Today, talking to God, I asked that I need fasts to break and remove genders that only come out with fasting and prayer. amen. awaiting the promise of salvation for my children... amen
What a beautiful expression of faith, Leida. Your conviction in God's promise and your willingness to pay the price of consecration to achieve that promise are examples of total surrender and trust in the Lord. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional, it is through obedience, humiliation, prayer and a genuine relationship with God that we can move towards the promises He has for us. Your request for fasting and prayer to break barriers and advance the salvation of your children is an act of faith and dependence on God. Let us remember that, as mentioned in the biblical text of Joshua 13:1 and in the reflection of Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas, although it seems that there is still much to conquer, God is working and will fulfill his promises in his perfect time. May the Lord strengthen you in your journey of faith, Leida, and may your example of constantly seeking a deep relationship with God inspire others to trust in His promises. May the promise of salvation for your children be a reality in His hands. Amen!
