The Language of Homecoming

Bible in a Year : Deuteronomy 26-27, Mark 14:27-53

We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!
Acts 2:11

Today's Scripture & Insight : Acts 2:1-11

Karen, a Jamaican Christian, had always studied the Bible in English. It was Jamaican Creole, however, that she grew up with at home. One day, a team from Wycliffe Caribbean, a Bible translation organisation, presented her with a New Testament translated into Creole. Reading it was a surprisingly moving experience for her. “It made me understand that God speaks my heart language,” she explained. “I felt at home and closer to God.”

Karen’s delight in reading the Bible in her native tongue calls to mind the astonishment experienced by the multinational Jewish crowd in Jerusalem at the first Pentecost. When the Spirit came to the disciples, tongues of fire above their heads indicated the gift of ‘tongues’, or ‘languages’, that the uneducated Galileans then began speaking miraculously (Acts 2:1–4). Impossibly, each person in the crowd, “from every nation under heaven” (v. 5) heard their language spoken: “we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (v. 11). God wanted them to hear the good news of Christ in their ‘heart language’ so it was personal and precious to them.

Even as a native English speaker, spoiled for choice with translations, I often find it helpful to spend time studying a passage, then writing it out prayerfully, using vocabulary and phrasing that sounds truly like me. This method of meditating on God’s word is a way we can hear God speaking in our own ‘heart language’.

Reflect & Pray
What makes God’s Word come alive for you? Which nations of the world could you pray for to have Bible translations in their own language?

Thank You, Holy Spirit, that You bestow us with gifts and bring God’s Word to our hearts. Help me to hear Your message today.

FASTING IS NECESSARY
Open Heavens
for Thursday, December 26, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More
REWARD FOR LABOUR
Open Heavens
for Wednesday, August 27, 2014
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain. Down the line, God had to intervene to enable Jacob eat the fruit of his labour. For a reader of this devotional, in every area that you...More
HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?
Open Heavens
for Friday, November 20, 2015
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"

Bible in one year:
