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 Kingdom and God's Lordship as well as reading a chapter of the New Testament each day. 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 Kingdom of God

  • The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are titles of the same Kingdom.
  • This Kingdom is not a piece of territory, but wherever Jesus Christ has established His reign in the hearts and lives of men and women.
  • This is an eternal Kingdom to which all who have received the gift of eternal life belong.
  • The teaching of Jesus is the good news about God’s heavenly Kingdom that He was sent to make available to all who believe in Him.
  • His parables are illustrations of either the present reality of the Kingdom among us and within believers, or of the future fulfillment of God’s Kingdom purposes when Jesus comes again.
  • The healing and miracles of Jesus, and of believers in Him, are evidences of the presence of the Kingdom of God.
  • The church is to preach the Kingdom in word and power. Jesus will then build His church!

Psalm 45:1-7

For the director of music. To the tune of "Lilies." Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil. A wedding song.1My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. 2You are the most excellent of men and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God has blessed you forever. 3Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.4In your majesty ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.5Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.6Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.7You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.

Hebrews 1

Jesus sustains creation1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets, on many occasions and in a variety of ways.2Now, however, He has spoken to us through His Son, whom He has made the heir of everything that has been created. For through Jesus, God created the entire universe, and He is the One who shines with God's own glory.3When He became man He expressed God's nature perfectly. Not only is He the Word through whom everything was brought into being, but the whole of creation is sustained through Him. The reason He became man was to provide the means by which we can be purified from all our sins. This He accomplished, and so He now sits in triumph at God's right hand, reigning in majesty in heaven.4When He returned to heaven He took His rightful place, far superior to that of the angels; for the name of Jesus is so much greater than the name of any created being in heaven or on earth.Christ superior to the angels5Did God ever say to any of the angels: "You are My Son and I have now become Your Father"? Did He say to any of them: "I will be Your Father and You will be My Son"?6However, when God sent His firstborn Son into the world He said: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."7How does He regard the angels then? "He makes His angels as winds, servants who are as flames of fire."8What He says about His Son is entirely different. He addresses Him as God and says: "O God, Your throne will last for all eternity; and You will rule with authority in Your Kingdom because of Your righteousness.9For You have loved what is right and hated what is evil. For this reason I, Your God, have set You above all others by anointing You with the oil of joy."10God also says of Him: "O Lord, You created the earth at the very beginning, and even the heavens were made by You.11The earth and the heavens will come to an end, but You will outlive them.12In due course of time they will cease; they will be as worn out clothes that need to be replaced. But You will not change and You will never die."13Did God ever say to an angel: "Sit at My right side until all Your enemies are crushed beneath Your feet"?14Angels are spiritual beings sent by God to serve those who are chosen to inherit salvation!
