A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. (Proverbs 13:17)
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, (2 Timothy 1:1)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Full life to be messengers of the only gospel

A new wave of false apostles and administrators of grace has emerged, seeking adoration and recognition among innocent and humble believers. Paul was an Apostle because of God's will, and an apostle is someone sent with authority to act on behalf of the one who sent them. All believers are called to the apostolate of spreading the gospel, but some falsely claim to be apostles for their own glory. The church must not be silent in the face of these abuses and must preach the true message of Christ, who blessed the poor in spirit and exposed the hypocrisy of false interpreters of the law. We are called to make disciples of Christ, not ourselves, and have been given the authority to tear down strongholds for the glory of God. Read more...

Carlos A. Borja Flores: I am glad to receive these devotionals in my email again, after three days without receiving them. They are of great help for my Christian journey. The topic that Faustino de Jesús deals with is important in these days, where false ministers of the gospel have arisen, who only seek to proclaim themselves, instead of glorifying Christ, who is the only way that leads us to eternal life.
Carlos A. Borja Flores, it is great to see your joy in receiving again the devotionals that strengthen you in your Christian walk.

Masiel pardo : Very well, in that today there are many men seeking to be boasted and seekers of their own and there are many in this time God makes known through the sifting of those such men. Now although there are men like that, that is not justification for not continuing to believe in the miracles and wonders of the Lord because today they are still in force by the laying on of hands I say this because it is my own testimony and the tithe when doing it with all your heart to the Lord is a blessing and no it is not an obligation today but doing it with all your will and heart is a blessing and that is faith too because today they try to deny those to highlight others really this is a balance of all the things of the Lord blessings
Masiel Pardo, I appreciate your thoughtful and balanced commentary on the current situation where some seek their own glory instead of glorifying God. It is true that in the midst of this, God gives us discernment to recognize those who proclaim themselves and do not follow His true path. As you mention, it is important to maintain faith in the miracles and wonders of the Lord, without falling into extremes, as highlighted in Hebrews 11:1. It is vital to find a balance, as you mention, in our relationship with God, where the tithe and all our actions are the fruit of a sincere and voluntary surrender to Him. May you continue to be guided by divine wisdom in your walk of faith. God bless you abundantly!
María : Very good, excellent, and speaking of the word as it is written without adding or taking away, because we are in times where apostasy is already enveloping the world and many Christians are being deceived.
Maria, thank you for your thoughtful comment. It is essential, as you mention, to hold fast to the Word of God as it is written, without adding to it or taking away from it, as highlighted in Proverbs 30:5-6. In these times where apostasy and deception are present, it is crucial to remain rooted in divine truth so as not to be led away by false teachings. May you continue to be firm in your faith and in the study of the Scriptures to discern the truth in the midst of confusion. May God strengthen you and guide you on His path!

Sabino Marroquín López: My faith and hope is in God, that we can carry out the project, to take advantage of the rainwater and generate thousands of jobs, so that these poor families have the sustenance for their children and their elderly parents.
Sabino Marroquín López, it is inspiring to see your faith in God and in His provision to bless those most in need. May the project you mention, aimed at generating employment and improving the quality of life of poor families, be guided by the hand of God and bring abundant fruits to those who need it.

Francisco Diaz S.: It is evident that there are many merchants of the temple who make the exercise of the ministry of God a business, abusing the good faith of believers. However, the Churches and preachers are supported by the help of the participants who together form a congregation. Each one must contribute according to his ability since a good work, if not nourished, does not progress and can be ruined. Each one acts according to what his heart dictates. God is the one who judges.
Francisco Díaz S., it is true that unfortunately there are those who abuse the exercise of the ministry for personal and lucrative purposes, as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional. However, it is important to remember that churches and preachers need the support of the congregation to carry out the Lord's work effectively, as noted in 2 Corinthians 9:7. Each one must contribute according to what God puts in his heart, voluntarily and generously, so that good works can prosper and bless those who need it. Trust that God is the one who judges hearts and intentions, and He will reward the faithfulness and generosity of those who serve with integrity. May God guide you in your actions and bless you abundantly for your commitment to His work!
Betty Casanova: In the Lord's vineyard there is everything and that is why we have to learn to know the truth of his word so as not to be deceived and to subject ourselves to the cover where the Father has sown you.
Betty Casanova, your comment is very accurate. In these times where the diversity of teachings can lead to error, it is essential to hold on to the truth of God's Word as Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas mentions in his devotional. Knowing the truth protects us from being deceived and helps us remain firm in the faith, as emphasized in John 8:31-32. Furthermore, being under the covering that God has provided for each of us is crucial for our spiritual growth and protection. May the Lord guide and strengthen you in your walk, giving you discernment and wisdom to keep you rooted in His truth. God bless you and hold you in His loving care!
