Daily Devotions for Spirit Filled Living

God's Word is spiritual food and nourishment. The Bible uses many metaphors: bread, milk, meat, food, water, honey, seed, rain, light, lamp, gold, sword, etc. for itself. God's Word is the basis for our faith. It is God's power at work in our lives. As you receive God's Word expect to receive wisdom and guidance. Expect to be healed, delivered, transformed. Expect God's supernatural power to work miracles in your life. His Word never return void or unfulfilled.

Each daily devotion is about five minutes in duration. We have intentionally developed the daily devotions around a weekly theme. So there are seven days of daily devotions that focus on the theme and bring you insight, understanding and revelation from the Bible. Each week's theme is listed as a series. So you can listen to the current week's daily devotions or go to any previous theme/series that speaks to your present need.

You can watch the video or download and listen to the audio. Almost all daily devotions end with a prayer. You can access these from this page as well as from the Home page of this website.

All our daily devotions are also available on our free church App for you to listen on your mobile device. Download our free church App from App or Google Play stores. Search for "All Peoples Church Bangalore".

Hard Work (Daily Devotional)

by Ps Nancy Ramya
{ccconsent}{/ccconsent}

Welcome everyone, thank you for joining us once again. We're talking about ingredients for success. Today, I'd like to talk about hard work and who better to consider while talking about hard work than the ants. Even the Bible invites us to look at ants, Proverbs chapter six and verse 6-11, ‘Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, Which, having no captain, overseer, or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep - So shall your poverty come upon you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.’ So that passage there, it's encouraging in one way because it's calling us to be inspired by the ant. But the other side of it is almost a rebuke for laziness. So, as we look at this passage, we can take the lessons that it wants us to have from the life of the ants. I'm just going to enlist a couple of things that come through, we see here that the ants are self-motivated, so they don't necessarily have someone leading them all the time. We do know that there are leaders among the ants, but in general, they're quite self-motivated and don't have to be told what to do, you put something sweet on your table and there you have these ants, they are very self-motivated and ready to work, and they are hardworking because we see that they work when food is available. So, in the summers, they work knowing that winter is approaching and that is really a lesson for us. We also must have foresight and work hard today, prepare for the seasons that are coming tomorrow and that is something that we can learn from the ant as well. And they don't make any excuses, when we look at the size of the ants, sometimes we marvel at all the amazing feats that they accomplish, they are able to climb the tallest cupboard, they are able to go into the nooks and crannies, they are just able to do whatever they want to do no matter what the limitation. And also, when we study about the size of the ant, we're told that an ant can carry up to 50 times its body weight. How they do it? We don't know, but the point is that limitations are not an excuse and for us in our lives, as we go through our various tasks, there will be restrictions and limitations and many things trying to confine us, but like the ant we can strategize, we can plan, and we can still do better. I just want us to take these lessons from the life of an ant and not complain, if they can do it, I'm sure we can do it. Let's pray and ask God for strength to work hard, Heavenly Father, we thank you that there are lessons and wisdom for us in your word. We pray that you will help us learn from the ant and that you will enable us to put in the work in every season, that we can keep excelling in what we do. We give you thanks and praise, in Jesus’s name we pray, Amen.
