Going deeper...to go further

Daily Bible reading strengthens our relationship with God, nourishes our spirits and equips us to live a fruitful, effective life for Him.

This month we're looking at Scriptures about the names of God to go alongside our Sunday message series. We’ll also be finishing off Deuteronomy and reading Joshua. As we read the Word it’s important that we apply what we read and pray it out over our lives. One of the way you can do this is by using the acronym SOAP. To find out more about SOAP watch this video.

Below you’ll see what we’re reading today. To go forward or back a day in our reading plan use the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

The Names of God

  • In scripture the Name denotes the person and says something of his character.
  • The Names of God describe different aspects of His character.
  • He is the Lord, the ultimate authority.
  • His Name is holy; He is perfect in every respect.
  • His Son is named Jesus – Saviour. Christ the Anointed One.
  • God always acts for the honour of His Name.
  • Believers have the privilege of praying in the Name of Jesus; not only using His Name but praying with authority, faith and expectation because they pray according to His Word.
  • Believers are to say and do everything in Jesus’ Name. Saying what He would say, doing what He would do, all for the glory of God; speaking, praying and acting with His authority.

The Morning Star

Names of God

Revelation 22:16-17

16"I, Jesus, sent My angel to reveal these things to you for the benefit of the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star."17The Spirit and the bride say: "Come." Let he who hears say: "Come." And let the thirsty come, he who wants to receive the free gift of the water of life.

Judges 14

1Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman.2When he returned, he said to his father and mother, "I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife."3His father and mother replied, "Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me. She's the right one for me."4(His parents did not know that this was from the LORD, who was seeking an occasion to confront the Philistines; for at that time they were ruling over Israel.)5Samson went down to Timnah together with his father and mother. As they approached the vineyards of Timnah, suddenly a young lion came roaring toward him.6The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told neither his father nor his mother what he had done.7Then he went down and talked with the woman, and he liked her.8Some time later, when he went back to marry her, he turned aside to look at the lion's carcass. In it was a swarm of bees and some honey,9which he scooped out with his hands and ate as he went along. When he rejoined his parents, he gave them some, and they too ate it. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the lion's carcass.10Now his father went down to see the woman. And Samson made a feast there, as was customary for bridegrooms.11When he appeared, he was given thirty companions.12"Let me tell you a riddle," Samson said to them. "If you can give me the answer within the seven days of the feast, I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.13If you can't tell me the answer, you must give me thirty linen garments and thirty sets of clothes.Tell us your riddle," they said. "Let's hear it."14He replied, "Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet." For three days they could not give the answer.15On the fourth day, they said to Samson's wife, "Coax your husband into explaining the riddle for us, or we will burn you and your father's household to death. Did you invite us here to rob us?"16Then Samson's wife threw herself on him, sobbing, "You hate me! You don't really love me. You've given my people a riddle, but you haven't told me the answer.I haven't even explained it to my father or mother," he replied, "so why should I explain it to you?"17She cried the whole seven days of the feast. So on the seventh day he finally told her, because she continued to press him. She in turn explained the riddle to her people.18Before sunset on the seventh day the men of the town said to him, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" Samson said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have solved my riddle."19Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power. He went down to Ashkelon, struck down thirty of their men, stripped them of their belongings and gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he went up to his father's house.20And Samson's wife was given to the friend who had attended him at his wedding.
