TODAYS WORD FOR FRIDAY JANUARY 13, 2012.
WAR
DEFINITION:
Armed conflict among nations, or between parties; any strife or conflict
SCRIPTURE:
“But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.” Luke 6:27-28.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
War is a very complicated and disturbing subject both to the believers and the non-believers. We must first as believers consider the condition of the fallen world we live in. War is a natural consequence of sin and some conflicts are fueled by evil intentions and desires. Other conflicts are mainly a battle between right and wrong. God does not like bloodshed, but if evil is not forcefully resisted, the wicked will prevail.
The Lord established government as a means to promote good and to restrain evil. Some rulers abuse the authority given them and act wickedly with the result being war. We share this word “war” with you today because so many of our wonderful friends who are reading these daily devotionals are living in “war zones’. We pray that these thoughts will be a source of encouragement to those living every day with “war.”
The Old Testament gives us evidence that at times God uses war to achieve His purpose. He commanded the Israelites to fight for the possession of the land He had promised them and to kill the inhabitants who were very evil. (Deuteronomy chapter 20) God also used war to judge and punish wicked nations. (Jeremiah chapter 25) God also used war to punish His own people for their evil ways. (Jeremiah 5)
Many people ask a very important question: “How can the God who told Israel to destroy the Canaanites be the same God who told us to love Your enemies and to do good to those who hate you?” To understand this we must be able to understand that God distinguishes commands given to nations and instructions given to individuals. Look at two verses to clarify this in your mind. In Romans 13:4, God calls nations or governments ministers of God for good and entrusts them with avenging evil. But in Romans 12:19 He is talking to individuals when He says for us to never take your own revenge.
Jesus also tells us in Luke that loving our enemies is the only way to protect ourselves as believers from bitterness. Unfortunately, many people today turn this around. They are quick to fight personal battles but slow to affirm the avenging of evil as a nation.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in James 1:5.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
PRAYER:
Help me to remember that Your goal is to destroy wickedness and not people. Help me to do my part in overcoming evil as I look toward the day when You will defeat all evil and I will reign with You for an eternity.

Service: January 12, 2012
TODAYS WORD FOR THURSDAY JANUARY 12, 2012.
SERVICE
DEFINITION:
An act of helpful activity; the serving of God in obedience; work done in serving another.
SCRIPTURE:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
The apostle Paul, whose life we have used as our illustrations this week, also lived a life of service, second maybe to no one in Biblical history. God called Paul to a ministry of faith and service. No other person did more to spread the good news of the gospel and shape the history of Christianity than Paul. It was Paul whom Christ used to write 13 of the New Testament books and win the first European convert to Christianity (Acts 16:14).
Paul also lived a life of service by becoming a great missionary bringing many Jewish and countless Gentiles to a saving knowledge of the Lord. Paul was also used by God to explain many of the doctrines of the new faith. Paul suffered many hardships throughout much of his life for serving the Lord. He did not let any of his suffering deter him from preaching the gospel. Truly, the apostle Paul lived a life of service to His Lord after he had that encounter with God on the road to Damascus.
In the book of Romans we find many principles of service that Paul refers to in his life that we can apply to our lives. Paul was a person with unshakeable convictions and unswerving confidence in the gospel. These are the first two principles that believers today must grasp. How many people, including yourself, would you say you know that have unshakeable convictions and unswerving confidence in the Bible? One guideline would be to look at the Ten Commandments and see if any are broken in your daily life or in the lives of the believers you know.
Paul is blunt in his presentation as a preacher, evangelist or teacher, in calling sin what it is. He is equally strong in describing the all encompassing potential of God’s forgiveness for any and all of these sins through the provision of Jesus Christ. His message is always clear, without compromise and to the point. Paul also preached integrity with the truth. He insists that integrity and truth be incarnated into a practical day by day life, not simply as a system of thought.
Paul in his life of service to the believers constantly presented a solution to the frustrating sense of failure by describing one’s new life in Christ as a Spirit-filled life that brings triumph over condemnation and all adversity. Paul was a master in giving practical Biblical directives for the application of spiritual truth to the problems one faces in daily life. He showed people how to live what they believed. As believers today, we need to work on these principles. Read the book of Romans and you will understand the great truths of the gospel that Paul applied to his life of service. Consider how to apply these truths to your life today.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in James 1:5.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
PRAYER:
Help me today to learn how to live a life of service. Prepare my heart with the answers I need to serve You in someone’s time of need. Lead me to that person today where I can be used of You.

Discipleship: January 11, 2012
TODAYS WORD FOR WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11, 2012.
DISCIPLESHIP
DEFINITION:
To teach, train and convert into a true follower, a disciple.
SCRIPTURE:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20.
KNOWLEDGEAND EXPERIENCE:
Jesus gave all believers the command to go and disciple new believers in the Word of God. The verse above is the commission of Jesus to His disciples and all believers after His resurrection and before He returned to heaven.
For the last two days we have looked at the “words” “conviction” and “conversion,” specifically in the life of Saul who later became the Apostle Paul. Today we have chosen to discuss the word “discipleship” and review what the scripture tells us about how God chose to disciple Paul after he became a believer.
First, God knew that Paul being a new believer needed help from a very special believer. The believer that God chose to disciple Paul was a simple unknown believer named Ananias. The traits that Ananias possessed were exactly what were needed by Paul. We need to understand that God is looking for people like each one of us, to disciple new believers and He wants us to study and know God’s Word well enough so we are prepared to help new believers.
Ananias was obviously a Godly man and devoted to the Lord. Ananias was also very sensitive to the call of God because he communicated daily with God through prayer. When God called him, he knew the voice of God and was prepared to follow what God wanted him to do. God chose Ananias to disciple Paul because Ananias was spiritually prepared and submissive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
God told Ananias what Paul needed to be taught and encouraged Paul to know, without any doubt in his mind, that he was a chosen vessel, a chosen instrument of God. This is also true for everyone that is reading this devotional today. God has the same message for us that He had for Ananias to give to Paul.
“You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain.” John 15:16.
Look at the many principles in this short study today from the life of Paul. God wants us to apply them to our lives today so we can be vessels to be used by Him.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in James 1:5.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
PRAYER:
Help me to spend the time needed in communication with You to be the chosen vessel You need to disciple new believers. Give me the wisdom and dedication to accomplish what You want from me. Bless my family and make us all disciples that can be used to be a blessing to others.

Conversion: January 10, 2012
TODAYS WORD FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 10, 2012.
CONVERSION
DEFINITION:
Spiritual change from sinfulness to righteousness; a change of attitude, emotion or viewpoint.
SCRIPTURE:
And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 9:17.
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE:
Yesterday the “WORD” discussed was “Conviction.” We left off when Saul and Jesus had their encounter. Saul was under great conviction and Jesus told Saul to “Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what you must do.” (Acts 9:6).
Saul did just what the Lord told him to do but we need to remind you that the Lord knew that Saul needed time for the Holy Spirit to do His work in Saul’s heart. Obediently, Saul waited for three days for God’s next words.
During these three days Saul was blinded. His eyes were closed. Saul was unable to eat or drink for these three days. The trauma drained all of Saul’s strength and he was completely exhausted. During these three days the Lord saw that Saul’s mind was completely shut up in the world of thought alone. He was left alone to pray and repent over his shameful deeds and to wonder what changes would happen in his life now.
Although Saul had lost his physical vision, he had a new vision of what he was and who Jesus was. Surely Saul must have visualized every stone he cast at Stephen as a stone cast at God, and every believer’s home he had stormed into as a home of those who worshipped God. Now he saw every man and woman that he drug through the streets as being a true follower of God.
After hours of seeing the past, Saul had to wonder, “Why was Jesus choosing him, the one who so fiercely opposed the Lord? “What did Jesus want from him and what was He going to tell him to do?”
The Lord now needed someone to help Saul come to know Christ and to be with Saul in his new found faith. God always has His people ready to do His work. God chose Ananias to lead him in his new found faith in the Lord (the verse above). God had changed Saul’s name to Paul, but Ananias knew all about Paul (when he was Saul) and just imagine the concern that Ananias had about going to the house where Paul was. Would Saul arrest him and take him to prison as he had done to so many others who followed Jesus?
Upon the arrival of Ananias at the house, God began to do His work. God gave Ananias the right words and the power to restore Paul’s eyesight. Ananias was willing to face difficult assignments. Reaching out and helping someone who denies that Jesus is God’s Son is always difficult and even more so with a person such as Saul. The more depraved the convert has been, the more difficult is the task.
Where do you stand today? Are you one that is waiting for the hour that you have your encounter with God? If so, now is the time. God is waiting for you to ask for forgiveness for your sins.
Are you the one waiting for God to lead you into the life of a new believer? God has that person for you today. Just pray and read the Bible and you will be amazed at the doors God will open for you.
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in James 1:5.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
PRAYER:
Help me to realize today that if I have never asked Jesus into my heart that now is the time. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins and I accept You as my Lord and Savior. I ask You Lord to lead me to a person today that I can share my testimony of faith and help them know you as their Savior.

Conviction: January 9, 2012
TODAYS WORD FOR MONDAY JANUARY 9, 2012
CONVICTION
DEFINITION:
The act or effect of convincing; a firm belief; proving to find guilty.
SCRIPTURE:
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went into the high priests, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues that if he found any of this way, whether they be men or women, he might bring them bound into Jerusalem. Acts 9:1-2.
KNOWLEDGE:
Before one can come to know Jesus as one’s personal Savior they must be personally convicted realizing that they are sinners. Then they must ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into their heart.
Most non-believers do not understand what we mean by conviction. The scriptures give us one of the clearest explanations of conviction with the life of Saul. Saul, later known as Paul, was a Jew, not a foreigner. He was born in Tarsus but was raised in Jerusalem because his parents wanted him to be educated in the Mosaic Law by Israel’s greatest teachers (Acts 26:4). Being educated in the strictest of the Jewish Law he became a Pharisee, a small sect of men who were totally dedicated to living out the law (Acts 23:8).
Saul was zealous about keeping the Law and as a practicing Jew he was zealously dedicated to persecute the Christians and the Christian church. He had this zeal believing that he was pleasing God. In Acts 9:1-2 we are told (above), he had a flaming fury against Christ and His disciples.
Saul actually hunted down believers and slaughtered them. He volunteered to the high priests and the Sanhedrin to go all the way to Damascus to arrest believers, both men and women, and bring them to Jerusalem for trial.
As Saul was walking down the road to Damascus to fulfill his plan to arrest Christian men and women and bring them to Jerusalem for trial, God had other plans for Saul. A bright light shone all around Saul and the men that were with him. It appeared suddenly from heaven, out of nowhere and totally unexpected. It was supernatural and miraculous, totally outshining the sun.
It was a confrontation between Saul and the Lord. Saul saw the appearance of Jesus in His glory and heard a voice speak to him. The men with Saul heard the voice but did not understand the words and they saw no one, only the light. The Lord was delivering a personal message to Saul. Saul was charged with a terrible sin. He was opposing and persecuting Jesus Himself.
How many times have you seemingly heard an inner voice trying to convict you of your sin? Jesus called his name twice: “Saul, Saul” showing tenderness, love and concern. Not only was God rebuking Saul but it was an appeal from God for Saul to listen and obey. Saul now realized that it was Jesus he was opposing.
Saul was stricken down, humbled, convicted, and frightened with his encounter with God on the road to Damascus. Saul cried out in desperation, “Who art thou, Lord?” He knew that it was the Lord that he was supposed to know, but he did not personally know Him. He cried out, “tell me Lord, identify yourself, and let me know You.” Saul was going through the conviction process.
When Paul realized that he had been opposing God Himself can you imagine the guilt he felt? Paul had been doing what he sincerely believed was right but he was sincerely wrong. He was lost and separated from God, bound for an eternal hell.
All this happened in a few short seconds on the road to Damascus in an encounter between Saul and the Lord. Have you had your personal encounter with God knowing you are a sinner and being convicted of that sin and accepting Jesus as your Savior?
LEARNING:
Our memory verse for this week is found in James 1:5.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
PRAYER:
Thank You Lord for the illustration that You have given us in Your Word out of a true life situation on the conviction of Saul. As You spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus may You speak to those in my family that need an encounter with You.
