5-Day Devotional (1/11/2026-1/17/2026)
Day 1: The Ministry of Reconciliation
Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
Devotional:
God has not only reconciled us to Himself through Christ but has entrusted us with the ministry of reconciliation. This is both a privilege and a responsibility. We were once separated from God by sin, but through Christ's sacrifice, we've been brought near. Now we serve as ambassadors, representing Christ to a world that desperately needs Him. Consider the weight of this calling: God makes His appeal through us. This isn't about our eloquence or perfection; it's about faithfully pointing others to the One who reconciles. As you go about your day, remember you carry the message that can transform lives. Who in your life needs to hear about God's reconciling love? Pray for courage to share it.
Day 2: God's Unwavering Faithfulness
Reading: Lamentations 3:22-26
Devotional:
"The Lord will not fail." These words anchor our souls in turbulent times. When everything around us shifts and changes, God remains constant. His mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness never wavers. In seasons of transition or uncertainty, we can rest in His unchanging character. The sermon reminded us that God has never failed and never will. This truth should embolden us to step forward in faith, to embrace new callings, and to trust Him with our future. Reflect on times when God has proven faithful in your life. Let those memories strengthen your confidence as you face today's challenges. His track record is perfect, and He will continue to guide you faithfully.
Day 3: Intentional Community
Reading: Hebrews 10:24-25
Devotional:
We were not designed to walk this Christian journey alone. Scripture calls us to consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together. Intentional community doesn't happen by accident—it requires deliberate effort. Just as the sermon emphasized, we must be welcoming, loving, and equipping by design. This means moving beyond Sunday attendance to genuine life-on-life relationships where we mentor and are mentored. Think about your current connections within the body of Christ. Are you isolated, or are you intentionally investing in others? Are you allowing others to pour into your life? Discipleship thrives in the context of authentic relationships. Take a step today to deepen your connection with fellow believers, perhaps by initiating a coffee meeting or joining a small group.
Day 4: Write the Vision and Run
Reading: Habakkuk 2:2-3
Devotional:
Vision provides direction and purpose. God instructed Habakkuk to write the vision plainly so that those who read it could run with it. Without clear vision, we wander aimlessly, but with it, we can run with purpose toward God's calling. The mission to connect to God, connect to others, and connect others to God gives us a framework for living as disciples who make disciples. This vision isn't just for the church corporately; it's for you individually. What is God calling you to pursue? What vision has He placed in your heart? Perhaps it's that one person He's laid on your mind—someone who needs to encounter Christ through your witness. Don't let the vision remain abstract. Write it down, pray over it, and then run with intentionality toward fulfilling what God has called you to do.
Day 5: Multiplying Disciples
Reading: Matthew 28:18-20
Devotional:
Jesus' final instructions to His disciples were clear: go and make disciples of all nations. This Great Commission isn't reserved for pastors or missionaries alone—it's for every follower of Christ. We are called to be disciples who make disciples, multiplying God's kingdom through serving, mentoring, and teaching. This requires us to say no to many good things so we can focus on the best thing. Satan doesn't tempt us only with obviously sinful distractions; he fills our lives with good activities that keep us from God's best purposes. Examine your schedule and priorities. Are you so busy with good things that you have no time for the Great Commission? Ask God to help you identify what needs to be released so you can invest in making disciples. Who can you serve, mentor, or teach this week? The multiplication begins with your faithful obedience today.
