ECWA Food for the Day – 7th May, 2025
Jesus had compassion on the hopeless crowds and called for more workers to help bring in the harvest. Today, the need remains great, and God seeks available, faithful people to serve.

Even demons recognize the authority of Jesus Christ. In Matthew 8:28–33, two violent, demon-possessed men were delivered by Christ’s command. Do you carry His authority as a believer?
Jesus demonstrated His power over nature when He calmed the storm, reminding us that no situation is beyond His control.
Jesus encourages us to persist in prayer, trusting in the goodness of God. Like a loving father who gives good gifts to his children, God is faithful to answer and reward those who seek Him earnestly.
Even in death, Jesus’ identity as the Son of God was affirmed by those who witnessed His crucifixion. Despite opposition and doubt, the truth of who He is remains eternal. Will you stand boldly for Him today?
Jesus was falsely accused, yet remained silent, enduring injustice with dignity. Though found innocent, the crowd chose a criminal over Christ, a reflection of the world’s preference for darkness over light. In a world where pressure often wins, we’re called to stand boldly for what is right.
In Matthew 26, we see how religious leaders plotted to kill Jesus and found a willing accomplice in Judas Iscariot. This devotion reminds us to search our hearts for any hidden intentions against others and to turn away from all forms of evil plotting.
Marriage is a sacred union, but many face turmoil due to being unequally yoked with unbelievers, ‘strange women’ who do not follow God’s ways. Nehemiah confronted Israel’s disobedience in marrying pagans, reminding us of the importance of honoring God’s covenant. Are you guarding yourself and your family against such entanglements?
Spiritual revival is a personal and collective awakening that brings us back to God’s presence. In Nehemiah’s time, the Israelites longed for change, actively listening to God’s Word and separating themselves from anything that hindered their faith. Today, we must seek the same revival, removing ungodly influences and ensuring integrity in all areas of life, especially within the Church. Are you ready for true spiritual renewal?
Being a steward means managing responsibilities with trust and integrity. In Nehemiah’s time, faithful stewards ensured resources were distributed justly. Today, God calls us to the same standard, whether in the church, workplace, or community. Are you a faithful steward in what God has entrusted to you?
