TODAY’S SCRIPTURE“Teach us to number our days, that we may

gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaSometimes our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It’s

easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t

go our way or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to lose

focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on

what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.

I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that

you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that

can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalm-ist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.” He was saying, “Teach us to value every moment we’ve been given.” As you

daily keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart of wisdom. You’ll draw closer to God and experience the full blessing that He has

for you each and every day!

A PRAYER FOR TODAYHeavenly Father, thank You for the gift of to-day. I choose to focus on the blessing of each moment instead of allowing the little things

to steal my joy. Keep me close to You always as I submit every area of my heart and mind

to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Ganoderma CoffeeCoffee is a widely used dark and bitter drink made from the roasted seeds or beans of the coffee plant. It contains caffeine – an addictive chemical. Coffee with caffeine may contain both health benefits and

health risks. It makes people feel more mentally and physically alert, and increases body coordina-tion. But, apparent alertness means an increase in the heart rate, blood pressure and basal metabolic rate. Therefore, according to some clinical nutri-

tionists, excessive intakes and long term use of coffee may leave harmful effects such as irritating effect on gastric mucosa, liver function disorders,

nausea and vomiting, restlessness, anxiety, de-pression, tremors, and sleeplessness, nutritional deficiencies and the exhaustion of key organs like the liver, pancreas and adrenal glands as a result of repeated stimulation. Therefore, the best thing is to go for side-effects free alternatives to coffee. Clinical nutritionists recommend herbal bever-ages which do not have toxic substances such as

ganoderma coffee.

Gano Healthy Coffee gives you an energizing hours-long boost not from caffeine, but from a time-honoured medicinal herb ganoderma lu-

cidum, which is a rejuvenating and restorative herb . It enhances the body’s resistance to stress, trau-

ma, anxiety and fatigue. This herb is being used not only in the treatment of fatal diseases but also as a

cure for everyday stress. In order to benefit from its healing properties in everyday life, ganoderma ex-tract is presented in the form of gano coffee which

is a natural coffee, free from side-effects. Gano coffee fortifies human immune system, promotes

longevity, improves weight balance, regulates blood circulation and protects us from cancer. In addi-tion, there is no problem of developing addiction. On account these and other healing powers, gano coffee is being recommended as one of the healthi-

est coffees of the world. It is available @

He Still Opens DoorsToday’s Scripture

“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close”

(Revelation 3:8, NLT).

Today’s Word from Joel and VictoriaGod is ready to present you with new opportuni-ties. He wants to open new doors before you. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the world

around you, in the economy, the housing industry, or with job reports; God’s Word still remains true.

He rewards the people who seek after Him. He’s not the least bit concerned about how He’s going

to supply your needs. There is no recession in heaven. He has His eye on you, and He still opens doors that no one can shut! In an instant, He can bring the right people into your life, the right op-portunities, and the right resources to take you to

a new level.

But in order to go to a higher level, you have to have a higher way of thinking. You can’t stay

focused on what’s happening in the natural nor al-low worry and fear to fill your thoughts. Remem-

ber, God’s ways are higher than our ways. He is working on your behalf behind the scenes in the supernatural realm. Choose to keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. As you do, you’ll move

forward through the open doors of blessing God has prepared for you.

A Prayer for TodayFather in heaven, I bless Your holy name. Thank

You for opening doors for me that no one can close. Fill me with Your peace and joy today as I

wait on You. In Jesus’ Name Amen.

GANODERMA LUCIDUM, THE KING OF HERBAL MEDICINE

Among the time-honored Chinese wonder herbs that have passed the test of time is ganoderna lucidum or reishi or lingzhi. It is a large, bitter medicinal mushroom with shining exterior. It

grows in the dark and dense mountainous woods of high humidity in the tropical and temperate

regions of the world. It grows on decaying wood. It may take nearly 1 year to reach maturity. Its in-credible curative properties have won it the titles of ‘supernatural mushroom’, ‘magic mushroom’

and ‘plant of longevity or immortality ’.

More than 2000 tthousand years of regular use in China and Japan and the modern clinical trial re-search studies have shown that it is a cure-all kind

of herb, a virtual elixir of life which though can not make man deathless and ageless, can save him from many living deaths such as AIDS, cancer and other fatal diseases which make man’s life a night-mare worse than death. The most important thing is that it is safe to use it for a long time. It has no

side effects, if not overdosed.

Instead of side-effects it brings extra benefits. It can stay with man through out his hectic life in the modern world, saving him from fatigue by

restoring his energy and stamina. It is due to its restorative properties that it is being used to make

coffee also—a coffee which brings you health. Though this herb was discovered thousands of

years ago, it was not available for common man.

In the past, it was among the rarest herbs. In addition, in the woods, the mushroom could not preserve its nutrients from the surrounding envi-

ronment and from the winds for a long time.

The winds scattered its spores which were col-lected randomly along with foreign matter. There-fore, the Chinese herbalists had to trawl through

lands to get the right mature wild ganoderma with full nutrients for the Chinese emperors and royal officials. But now, after years of rigorous research work on its cultured cultivation, it’s being grown indoors where high humidity and darkness are

created for its better growth on a very large scale to meet its high pharmaceutical demand in the in-ternational medicine market. Special nets are used

to cover the ganoderma cultivation area. In this way, its spores are protected from being scattered by winds. Now, it is within the easy access of com-mon man at the health food stores and a few clicks

away on internet. It is being produced not only in its native East Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia but also inthe USA. Continue page 14

Revelation 3:8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my

word and have not denied my name.

For Your Own SakeTODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will

not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:14–15, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaIn life, we all have unfair things that happen to us. We can choose to hold on to the hurt, become bitter and angry, and let it poison our future; or, we can choose to let it go and trust God to make it up to us. You not

think that you are able to forgive because someone hurt you so badly. You might say, “Joel, you don’t

know how I was raised.” “My ex-spouse caused me a lot of pain.” “This friend betrayed me.” “I just can’t let it go.” But realize, you don’t forgive for their sake;

you forgive for your own sake. When you forgive, you are taking away their power to hurt you. But if you hold on to that offense and stay angry, you are only poisoning your own life and disconnecting yourself

from God.

Forgiveness is like a door on your heart. If you shut the door and refuse to forgive, then God cannot

forgive you. But when you open the door and allow forgiveness to flow from you, then His forgiveness can flow into you. Choose to forgive and open the door to

receive God’s life, peace and healing today.

A PRAYER FOR TODAYFather God, thank You for the gift of forgiveness that

sets me free. Help me to truly understand what it means to forgive so I can receive Your forgiveness.

Search me today and have Your way in my heart. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Recognize What You HaveTODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the

Philistine and killed him” (1 Samuel 17:50, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaSo often we focus on what we don’t have, how big our obstacles are, and how bad the economy is. “Joel, I don’t have the connections. I’ve got this problem, but I don’t have anybody to help me. I’ve got this dream, but I don’t have the resources.” No, here is what I’ve learned; every-thing you need to fulfill your destiny is within reach. God will always use something that’s close to you. It may not look extraordinary, but you have what it takes to fulfill

your destiny.

When David faced the giant, Goliath, all he had was a slingshot and five stones. It looked ordinary. He could have thought, “I’m not going to face Goliath. That would be foolish. I don’t have a chance.” No, David knew that with God on his side, those ordinary stones would be ex-actly what he needed. Sure enough, David defeated Goli-

ath and made history.

Today, remember, victory isn’t about what you have, it’s about God’s anointing on what you have. With God on your side, all things are possible! Focus on Him and what He can do in your life because He has extraordinary

things in store for you.

A PRAYER FOR TODAYHeavenly Father, thank You for equipping me for success and victory in this life. Help me to clearly see the oppor-tunities, connections and resources You have ordained for me. I trust that with You, all things are possible. In

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

He Holds the KeysTODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of

death and Hades”(Revelation 1:18, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaHave you ever been locked out of your car or

house? It can be very frustrating and inconvenient. Not having your keys can keep you stuck and

unproductive. It steals your time and can steal your peace and joy if you let it.

In the same way, we need spiritual keys to access what God has for us — eternal life, peace, freedom

and blessing here on earth. But we don’t have to stand on the outside and be frustrated because Jesus

holds the keys, and He has opened the way for us to walk through the door of eternal life. Eternal life begins the moment you make Him your Lord and Savior. You don’t have to live in defeat, mediocrity,

sickness, sin or any kind of bondage any longer; you have access to the abundant life Jesus came to give!

Today, if you feel stuck, locked out or defeated, remember, Jesus is the one who holds the keys. All you have to do is call on His name and He will an-swer. He promises to hear you and will deliver you.

He wants to be the hero of your story, so call on Him today and receive the victory He has prepared

for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAYFather God, I boldly come to You thanking You for giving me access to eternal life through Your Son,

Jesus. I surrender every area of my heart to You and invite You to make me whole and complete. Set me free from every bondage so I can live free in You. In

Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Sufficient GraceTODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness...” (2 Corinthians 12:9,

NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaEveryone has days when they feel weak or times when they feel overwhelmed. But God has given us His grace to carry us through these difficult times and empower us to move forward in victory.

Scripture says God’s grace is sufficient. The word sufficient simply means competent, enough or qualified. That means you always have whatever you need by His grace. You will never face any-thing that God’s grace cannot empower you to move through. We serve a God who is more than enough, and His grace is more than enough, too! Anytime you feel weak, remember, when you rely on His grace, that is when you are at your stron-gest. When you feel like you can’t go on, that’s

when He will carry you by His grace.

Today, remember, no matter what you may be fac-ing, you’re not facing it alone. You are not without hope, you are not without resources, and you are not without answers because His grace is suffi-cient! His grace is all you need to be equipped to

move forward into His victory.

A PRAYER FOR TODAYFather in heaven, thank You for Your sufficient grace. Thank You for empowering me and equip-ping me no matter what I may be facing. Today, I lift my eyes to You for You are my help. I receive Your grace for everything I need. In Jesus’ Name.

Amen.

1 Corinthians 2:3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling.

1 Corinthians 2:5 so that your faith might not rest on men’s wis-dom, but on God’s power.

2 Corinthians 1:11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gra-cious favor granted us in answer to

the prayers of many.

Galatians 3:5 Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe

the law, or because you believe what you heard?

Philippians 1:19 for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn

out for my deliverance.

Philippians 1:18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.

And because of this I rejoice...

Gifts By Grace

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE“We have different gifts, according to the grace given

to each of us...” (Romans 12:6, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and VictoriaGod has given each of us gifts, and He’s given us the

grace, the supernatural power to operate in those gifts. In other words, if God has called you to do something, He has equipped you by His grace.

Scripture says that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. That means when we are doing what we are

called to do, when we are operating in our gift, there will be an “easiness” about it. That doesn’t mean

there won’t be any opposition. It doesn’t mean there won’t be obstacles or that it won’t take effort on your

part. But what it does mean is that you will have a supernatural empowerment to do it. It will just come

naturally and flow out of you.

If you are doing something that always seems hard, always seems heavy and drains the energy out of you, you might want to spend some time in prayer before God and see if that’s really what He has for you. Just because it’s a “good” thing doesn’t mean it’s a “God” thing. But when it is God, you’ll know it. You’ll feel

His supernatural grace empowering you and refresh-ing you every step of the way.

A PRAYER FOR TODAYFather God, thank You for empowering me to live by Your grace. Help me to discern what You have for me and let go of anything that isn’t Your best for my life.

I love You and honor You in all that I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
