January 5 | My Lord is coming back!

by

January 5
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power…” (Rev. 4:11).
In Matt. 2:11 we see wise men at worship. They fell down and worshipped the young child. Then they
presented their costly gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. By coming from such a long distance they
acknowledged His worthiness. When they brought such precious gifts, they acknowledged in a symbolic
way that, the One Whom they had come to worship is God Who became man (Gold), the One Whom they
had come to worship had come to suffer for them (Myrrh), the One Whom they had come to worship was
going to save them (Frankincense).
In Luke 7:37, 38 we read about a woman in the city, a sinner. The Lord’s presence made her conscious of
sinful condition. She wept in brokenness over her sin, and washed His feet with her tears. Her love was
spontaneous, and her worship true. She had an inward revelation of her sins being forgiven and she
worshipped Him, by pouring the ointment on His feet.
In John 12:1-3 we find Mary worshipping the Lord. She had known the Lord before, but now she had a
new and a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and power of resurrection and she poured out her
worship to Him by anointing His feet with a very special ointment with sweet fragrance which filled the
house. When we see Him working in us, we also worship Him in a new way.
In Matt. 26:2,6,7 we see a similar scene of worship, and yet different in its significance. Here it was only 2
days before the Passover, and we see her anointing His head, because she realized that He was about to
die for the sins of the whole world.
Finally, we see a more glorious sight which is described in Rev. 5:11-12. It is the glorified Church of the
Lord Jesus Christ, with angelic hosts – all in oneness worshipping Him.”… Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing”.
`
After worshipping the Lord we take part in the Lord’s Table, saying, “My Lord is coming back! When He
comes back, the work which He began will be perfected”. We declare by faith that we are waiting for that
Day. We believe it will be a wonderful Day when we shall be like Him, and reign with Him. In His broken
Body and shed Blood, we see every provision made to make us like Himself. In me, I see nothing but
infirmity, failures and shortcomings, nothing but iniquity; but in Him, I see perfection.
In Eph. 3:18 we notice the importance of being together. His love and purpose can never be
comprehended by us. We need the help of all the saints. There is a great mystery here. We find love
coming in a greater and fuller measure, when we are brought together as one family. In this family, there
is no Jew nor Gentile: male or female. All are ONE. People from different families, countries, nationalities,
all partake of the same Lord.

Fullness of joy

by
January 3
“In thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalm
16: 11).
Joy multiplies as we live in the presence of God, and it is only there that full joy is found.
Many can testify that their names are written in the Book of Life, but they cannot say that
they are living constantly in the presence of the Lord.

It is possible to live with the Lord’s
children, and to worship and work with them, and yet to be out of touch with the Lord. We
can even be in a prayer meeting and not feel the Lord’s presence – not be in conscious touch
with Him.

But if you do not feel His presence, then you do not have full joy. This may be due to various
things, but it may be your own fault. As a child of God your heart is pure and your conscience
right before Him, you can feel and know His presence.

Our prayer is that you may learn this secret of dwelling in the presence of the living and loving
God, for this is His intention and purpose for His people.

🙌 Praising Verse

Thank you, Jesus, for healing my soul.

Trusting God’s Presence , For every new believer, it’s a reminder that Jesus doesn’t just heal our physical bodies—He heals our hearts, our minds, and our souls. When we come to Him with our burdens, He restores us with love and peace. His healing touches every part of our life.

As a new Christian, you may still be learning what it means to follow Jesus. But one thing is always true—Jesus brings healing. Not just once, but every day as we walk with Him by Faith.

Let this praising verse be the start of your daily devotional time. Every morning,  say:
“Thank you, Jesus, for healing my soul.”

✨ Faith Confession

“I will not be afraid, for God is with me.” – Isaiah 41:10

This faith confession is powerful for every new believer. Life can feel uncertain. You may have fears about your future, your family, or your walk with Christ. But God gives us this promise in His Word: You are not alone.

God is with you.
He holds your hand.
He walks before you and behind you.
He covers you with His love.

When fear tries to rise up, speak this confession out loud.
Say it boldly: “I will not be afraid, for God is with me.”

This is a simple and strong new believer’s prayer that builds trust in God’s presence.

📖 Daily Bible Verse

Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”

God didn’t say we’ll never go through hard times. He said, “When you pass through the waters…” That means tough seasons will come, but we won’t face them alone.

For those who are new to faith, this is a comforting truth. Maybe you’re going through a struggle right now—emotionally, financially, or spiritually. But this verse reminds us:
God is in it with you.

He doesn’t step back when life gets rough.
He walks with you through the storm.
You will not drown.

Hold this verse close to your heart during your daily devotion. Let it remind you that no situation is too deep for God to rescue you from.

✝️ Gospel Verse

Revelation 3:20 – “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

What a beautiful promise! Jesus is standing at the door of your heart.

Maybe you’ve just begun to open that door. Maybe you’re still unsure. But this verse tells us what Jesus desires—a personal relationship.

He’s not forcing His way in.
He’s gently knocking.
All you have to do is open your heart.

As a new Christian, this is your moment to say yes. Invite Jesus in, not just on Sundays, but every day. Let Him be part of your meals, your decisions, your thoughts, your dreams.

This is what praying for new believers looks like—welcoming Jesus to sit at the table of your life.

🙏 Prayer

My Lord Jesus,
Let my words and actions glorify You.
Help me to be kind, patient, and loving.
Teach me to trust You in everything I do.
When I feel weak, remind me that You are strong.
When I feel afraid, help me remember that You are with me.
Let my heart be full of Your peace.
Thank You for healing my soul, and for always being near.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

📜 The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13, NKJV)

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

This prayer is perfect for your daily bread—a spiritual meal to start your day. It teaches us how to speak to God with love and respect, to trust Him for our needs, and to live with a heart of forgiveness.

📌 Words of Encouragement for New Believers

If you are new to faith, you may be wondering:

  • How do I grow in prayer?
  • What should I read in the Bible?
  • How can I stay strong when I feel weak?

You are not alone. Every believer starts somewhere. The key is to walk with Jesus day by day. Speak with God in prayer. Read the Word of God slowly and simply. Trust that He is guiding you.

Here are a few simple steps for your daily devotional life:

  1. Start with praise. Say “Thank You” to Jesus for something in your life.
  2. Read a Bible verse. Even one verse can give strength for your whole day.
  3. Confess your faith. Speak truth over your life, like “God is with me.”
  4. Pray from your heart. Use your own words. Talk to Jesus like a friend.
  5. Listen. Sometimes, in silence, God speaks to your heart.

✍️ Faith Reflections for New Christians

Being a new believer is like planting a seed. At first, you may not see much, but the roots are growing deep. Your faith is getting stronger every time you pray. Every time you read the Bible. Every time you say, “Jesus, I trust You.”

Even if you make mistakes, Jesus doesn’t leave you. He loves you deeply.

Let this be your new Christian prayer each morning:

“Lord Jesus, I am Yours. Teach me. Guide me. Stay with me today.”

You don’t need long or fancy words. You just need an honest heart. That’s what Jesus looks for.

💬 Encouraging Prayers for New Christian Converts

Lord, for those who are new in faith, I pray:

  • Let their hearts be steady and full of peace.
  • Surround them with friends who love You.
  • Fill their days with joy and understanding.
  • Protect them from fear and confusion.
  • Let them feel Your love in every moment.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

💡 Devotional Thought – “Daily Bread for the Soul”

Just like your body needs food each day, your spirit needs the Word of God. Jesus called Himself the Bread of Life. When we spend time with Him, we’re feeding our souls.

Make time every day—even if it’s just five minutes—to sit with God.

🧡 Closing Words for Today

Dear reader, if you are a new believer, know this:
God is smiling over you.
He sees your heart.
He is with you in every step you take.

Whether you’re saying your first prayer, reading your first Bible verse, or just beginning to understand God’s love, you are on the right path.

Hold on to your faith confession:
“I will not be afraid, for God is with me.”

Daily Devotional | April 17 , 2025

by

Praising Verse
Thank you, Jesus, for your endless compassion.

Faith Confession
I cast all my burdens on the Lord, for He cares for me. (1 Peter 5:7)

Daily Bible Verse
Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.”

Gospel Verse
Galatians 2:20 – “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.”

Daily Devotional: A Word of Hope for New Believers

Dear new believers in Christ, welcome to the family of God. If you’re just starting your journey with Jesus, know that you are loved, accepted, and never alone. This daily devotional is written just for you—to encourage, uplift, and remind you of the strength found in God’s Word.

Today’s word of God comes from Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper.” This promise is powerful. As a new Christian, you might face challenges. You may feel the enemy trying to bring you down with fear, doubt, or temptation. But remember—God is your protector. He will not allow those weapons to destroy you.

When you gave your life to Jesus, you were marked with His love and covered by His grace. No force in this world can stand against the power of Christ in you. Even when it feels hard, even when your faith is still growing, know this: Jesus is with you. He will never leave you.

Many new Christians wonder, “How do I pray?” or “What do I say?” You don’t need fancy words. Prayer for new believers can be as simple as talking to a close friend. Just be real with Jesus. He listens to your heart more than your words.

Let this be your new Christian prayer today:

“Lord Jesus, I’m new to this walk with You. Teach me. Guide me. Show me how to live in Your light. Give me strength to keep going, and peace when I feel anxious. In the name of Jesus Christ , i pray, Amen.”

That’s it. That’s a real prayer from a real heart. New believer or not, God hears every word.

Let’s look at another verse that gives us strength today: Galatians 2:20 – “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.”

When you accept Jesus, your old life dies and you receive a new life. Christ now lives in you. That’s the truth. As you grow in faith, remember this gospel truth—your strength does not come from yourself but from Jesus who lives inside of you.

New Christians often face confusion and questions. That’s okay. Faith is a journey. You don’t need to have all the answers. Just keep walking, step by step, with Jesus. He will lead you.

Daily Bread for the Soul
Today, ask the Lord for your spiritual food. Just as we need food to live, our hearts need the Word of God. Make it a habit to read one verse every day. Meditate on it. Think about it. Speak it out loud. Let it become your daily bread.

“Lord, give me today my daily bread. Feed me with Your Word.”

New believers prayer life grows stronger with time. Don’t worry if you miss a day. Don’t feel guilty if you forget what you read. Just come back again. God is not angry with you. He is patient and full of mercy.

Let’s talk about a few prayers for new believers:

  • Prayer for strength:
    “Jesus, I’m weak, but You are strong. Carry me today.”
  • Prayer for wisdom:
    “Lord, help me make good choices and understand Your Word.”
  • Prayer for peace:
    “Father, calm my heart when I’m scared or stressed.”
  • Prayer for growth:
    “Help me grow in faith. Let me know You more each day.”

Each of these prayers for new Christians is a way to build a deep and personal connection with God.

Faith Confession (Let’s repeat it again):

I cast all my burdens on the Lord, for He cares for me. (1 Peter 5:7)

Let that truth settle in your heart. You don’t have to carry your troubles. Jesus is waiting for you to hand them over.

Encouragement for Today

Are you feeling alone in your new walk with Jesus? Remember, there’s a whole family of believers around the world who are praying for you. You are not alone. And most importantly—Jesus is praying for you. He knows what it feels like to be tempted, tired, and rejected. He understands you completely.

When you feel attacked, remember today’s Bible verse: No weapon formed against you will prosper. Even when the enemy tries to discourage you, you are protected. You belong to God now.

A Prayer for You

My Lord Jesus, thank You for Your unfailing love. Help me to trust in You and not worry about tomorrow. Help me live by faith and not by fear. I give You my heart, my thoughts, and my day. Let Your peace rule over my mind. Teach me Your ways, my Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen.

And now let’s say the Lord’s Prayer together:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
(Matthew 6:9-13, NKJV)

Final Thoughts

If you’re praying for new believers, share this message. If you are a new believer, hold onto this truth—Jesus will never let go of your hand. Whether today is hard or easy, joyful or tearful, Jesus is right there beside you.

Keep growing. Keep praying. Keep reading His Word.

Your daily devotion can start with just one verse, one prayer, one moment in His presence. That’s enough.

May this message bless you today. Share it with someone who is beginning their walk with Jesus.

A New Believers’ Daily Devotional: Finding Strength Through Jesus

Praising Verse

“Thank you, Jesus, for being my rock and refuge.”

When life becomes unstable, Jesus is our stronghold. He embraces us and supports us to be firm, regardless of what comes our way. Today, let us start with gratitude. Thank you, Jesus, for being my strength whenever I am weak. You are my firm ground, my unwavering faith, and my  Savior.

Faith Confession

“I am a child of God, and nothing can separate me from His love.”
(Romans 8:38-39)

Regardless of what you’ve endured or how fresh you are to the faith, this is true: you are God’s. You are loved. You are His child. Nothing—fear, mistakes, the past—can remove that. As new Christians in Christ, it’s good to say this out loud. It strengthens our faith. It keeps our hearts mindful of the mighty love of God that will never depart from us.

Daily Bible Verse

Isaiah 40:31
“But those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength.”

This is a promise especially for anybody starting out his walk with Jesus. When we wait on and trust in the Lord, He gives us renewed strength. We don’t need to live anymore on our own. When we are exhausted, He lifts us up. When we are not sure, He guides us. This is your soul’s daily bread—a vow that He will refresh you.

Gospel Verse

Isaiah 53:5
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes, we are healed.”

This verse demonstrates the essence of the gospel. Jesus sacrificed everything so that we are free. To new Christian believers, this is the basis. He took your place. He carried your sin. He died for His life so that you might walk in peace, love, and healing. As a believer growing up, let this verse continually remind you of Jesus’ deep love for you.

A Simple Prayer for New Believers

My dear Lord Jesus,
I ask Your guidance and wisdom today. Strengthen me in faith every day. Guide me on the right path. When I am lost, remind me that You are always with me.
I desire to know You more, trust You more, and live for You day by day. Fill my heart with Your peace. Grant me strength today and hope for tomorrow.
Thank You for the rescue. I am new in faith, but I know that You are with me.
In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9–13, NKJV)

> Our Father in heaven,
> Hallowed be Your name.
> Your kingdom come.
> Your will be done
> On earth as it is in heaven.
> Give us this day our daily bread.
> And forgive us our debts,
> As we forgive our debtors.
> And do not lead us into temptation,
> But lead us not into temptation.
> For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

This prayer, which Jesus Himself uttered, is a complete model for all believers. It encompasses all that we require—praising God, requesting everyday supply, forgiveness, power to resist temptation, and defense from evil.

New Believers’ Daily Devotion: Trusting God Step by Step

As a **new believer**, every day is a new day to walk with Jesus. You don’t have to have it all together. God patiently and lovingly walks with you. This **daily devotional** is written for you—to encourage you, to strengthen your faith, and to make you feel connected to your heavenly Father.

Most **new Christians** wonder, “How do I pray?” or “How do I grow spiritually?” The answer is easy: just begin. Begin by speaking to God as you would to a loving Father. Read a verse of Scripture each day. Take a moment to be quiet and listen. Say thank you. Ask questions. Cry if you need to. God is listening.

Why Prayer Matters for New Believers

**Prayer for new believers** is similar to learning to walk. Initially, it may be awkward or uncertain. But with every step, you become stronger. You become more confident. Your relationship with Jesus is real and intimate.

These are some brief **prayers for new believers** to assist you in getting started:

– “Lord Jesus, I don’t know much yet, but I want to follow You. Help me.”
– “Father, teach me how to pray and read Your Word.”
– “God, I give You my heart today. Show me Your will.”

Whether you call it a **new believers prayer** or a **new Christian prayer**, the key is sincerity. God looks at your heart, not your words.

Daily Bread: Feeding Your Spirit

When Jesus instructed us to pray for our **daily bread**, He meant something greater than food. He meant the spiritual sustenance our hearts require every day. As a new believer, nourish your soul with:

– God’s Word (even a single verse daily)
– Brief prayers (such as the above)
– Fellowship with other believers
– Praise and worship

This is your **daily devotional** time—where your heart is renewed and your faith increases.

Today’s Word of God: Strength in Waiting

Let’s revisit today’s Bible verse:

> “But those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength.” *(Isaiah 40:31)*

This is your **today word of God**. Write it down. Reflect on it. Speak it out loud. In a world that moves fast, waiting on the Lord may feel hard. But it’s in the waiting that your faith is built. It’s in the waiting that your strength is renewed.

So if you’re tired, anxious, or confused today—know this: God notices you. He listens to your prayer. And He will strengthen you.

Praying for New Christians: How the Church Can Help

If you’re a member of a church or Christian community, **praying for new believers** is an act of love. Here’s how you can help them:

– Pray for them to grow in their faith and understanding.
– Pray that they sense the love of Jesus.
– Pray that they remain strong during trials.
– Pray that they discover good fellowship and spiritual leaders.

These steps of **prayer for new Christian converts** are potent. They have the potential to alter lives. They can instill hope and healing.

If you would be a new believer reading this, be assured that others are praying for you. You are not alone. You are part of God’s large family.

A Final Encouragement for Today

Belonging to Christ as a new believer is a process—one step at a time. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing.

Every day, spend some time with God. Read one verse. Say a simple prayer. Trust Him. He will guide you, instruct you, and fill your heart with peace.
