God speaks today Thursday | April 13, 2023

Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. (Nehemiah 5:14)

Integrity, Presentation of the Christian

The passage from John 1:45-51 shows the importance of cultivating the character of Jesus, especially in a society that values credentials over character. Nathanael was praised for his integrity, and we should strive to be true to our values and not deceive others. Let us take care of the image of Jesus that we present to the world. We cannot reach the stature of Christ on our own, but we can ask the Holy Spirit to help us live lives worthy of being called children of God. Read more...

Pedro Jiménez : Every day at dawn God speaks through his preaching, God bless you greatly
Amen, Peter! It is impressive how God speaks to us through his Word and the teachings of spiritual leaders like Fanny Rodríguez. In the passage from John that she presents to us, we see how integrity is an important quality for God and how we must cultivate it in our lives to impact others. It is also interesting how Nehemiah demonstrated his integrity by not accepting the governor's bread and thus avoiding any conflict of interest in his leadership position. May God continue to guide us in our walk with Him and strengthen us to live lives worthy of being called children of God!

Gustavo Martinez Afanador : In general, the world always looks at the children of God, because we are a letter read and that is why we stand out before the world that we are children of God, we must have the quality that we represent CHRIST before the world as a pure Christian, holy, complete., a testimony where there is no falsehood. Blessings
Amen Gustavo! As children of God, we must be a living testimony of the transformation that He has made in our lives. As you well mention, we must stand out before the world for our integrity and purity as Christians. It is important that we cultivate the character of Jesus and that we be a letter read so that the world sees through us the image of Christ.
