- I Corinthians 1:18-21

29th November

For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those being lost, but to us being saved, it is the power of God.

For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the perceiving ones."

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the lawyer of this world?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom did not know God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe.

- Isaiah 53:4-6

28th November

Surely He [Jesus] has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities;
upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

- John 15:16-17

27th November

Jesus said: "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
These things I command you, so that you will love one another."

- Daniel 6:25-27

26th November

Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:

"Peace be multiplied to you.
I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever;
his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.

He delivers and rescues;
he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions."

- Romans 12:11-13

- Matthew 7:1-5

24th November

Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged.
For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

- John 8:31-32

who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices.

- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

21st November

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.

But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!

Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?

And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

- 2 Timothy 3:1-5

20th November

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power.

Avoid such people.

- 1 John 3:1-3

19th November

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.

The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

- Colossians 3:5-11

18th November

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you:
sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

On account of these the wrath of God is coming.

In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.
But now you must put them all away:
anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

- Romans 6:23

17th November

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

- Ephesians 2:4-9

16th November

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ
—by grace you have been saved—
and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

- Matthew 7:24-27

15th November

Jesus said:
"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

Antonio's Story

Hi my name is Antonio. I am from North Carolina USA.

I want to start by saying that the Lord liveth and blessed be the rock and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

I am 30 yrs old. I accepted Jesus as my savior when I was 11.
I didn't know Him as Lord till much later, my testimony happened in between.

- Revelation 22:12-13

14th November

"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

- Matthew 6:1-4

13th November

"Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others.
Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

- Romans 2:15

12th November

It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet."

- Colossians 1:15-20

10th November

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church.

He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

- 3 John 1:11

9th November

Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good.
Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God.

- Matthew 6:14-15

8th November

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

- Luke 13:24-25

7th November

"Strive to enter through the narrow door.
For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying,

'Lord, open to us,'

then he will answer you,

'I do not know where you come from.'

- 2 Timothy 2:19

- John 14:23-24

3rd November

Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them.

Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me.

And remember, my words are not my own.
What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me".

- Job 23:10-14

2nd November

But He knows where I am going.
And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.

For I have stayed on God’s paths;
I have followed His ways and not turned aside.
I have not departed from His commands, but have treasured His words more than daily food.

But once He has made His decision, who can change his mind?
Whatever He wants to do, He does.
So He will do to me whatever He has planned.

He controls my destiny.

- Psalm 34:14-15

1st November

Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help.
