Unlike false gods, Yahweh is the eternal, covenant-keeping Lord who delivers (Ex. 6:2–7), sanctifies (Lev. 19:2), and reveals His glory (Isa. 42:8). Ultimately, Jesus—who said, “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58)—is Yahweh incarnate, fulfilling God’s promises and securing redemption for His people. 📖 Bible Readings: Exodus 3:14-15 (Exodus 6:2–7; Isaiah 42:8; Isaiah 45:23; Malachi 3:6; John 1:1–14; John 8:58; Philippians 2:10–11; Hebrews 1:10–12; Hebrews 13:8; Titus 2:13) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. Yahweh is self-existent eternal God.  2. Yahweh is God’s personal covenant name.  3. Yahweh is the God who keeps His promises.    💪🏼 Applications: 1. Aim to be a trustworthy and reliable person.  2. Aspire to be an unbiased truth-teller.  3. Abide in the promises of Yahweh.    🎙Discussion: How can you improve yourself to become a better truth-teller?  Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Yahweh Elohim, the great I AM, I worship You as the eternal, unchanging, and faithful Lord. Thank You for revealing Yourself to Your people, for redeeming us by Your mighty hand, and for keeping every promise through Christ. Help me to acknowledge Your holiness, adore Your power, and affirm Your promises in every season of life. Teach me to rest in Your covenant love and to live faithfully under Your Name. I trust Your Word and promises. In Jesus, who is Yahweh incarnate, I pray, amen.

Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo   💁🏻 Concept: Wrath of the Lamb The wrath of the Lamb (Revelation 6:16–17) is the righteous anger of Jesus Christ—the same Lamb who was slain for sinners. It reveals that God’s love and justice are never in conflict. The gentle Lamb who offered Himself for salvation will also judge those who reject His mercy. The same Lamb who was slain for sinners will one day pour out His wrath on all unrepentant evil. His wrath is not contrary to His love; it is the expression of His perfect justice against sin. 📖 Bible Readings: Revelation 6:16 (John 2:13-17; Matthew 7:21-23, 11:20-24, 21:12-13; Mark 3:1-5; Matthew 23:13-33; Luke 19:41-44; Revelation 16:15-17, 19:11-16; Acts 17:30-31; John 5:22-27; Romans 2:16; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Matthew 25:31-32; John 9:39; 2 Timothy 4:1; Romans 14:10-12; Revelation 20:11-12; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. Jesus is the most loving being in the whole universe. 2. Jesus is the most terrifying being in the universe.  3. Jesus is the Savior, Friend, Lord, Judge, and King.  💪🏼 Applications: 1. Look at Jesus from the biblical perspective.  2. Give Jesus the uttermost fear and respect.  3. Balance your view of Christ’s love and holiness.  🎙Discussion: Why is surrender the only proper response to the Lordship of Jesus? Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive me for my pride and sins. I acknowledge that You are my Savior who loved me to the uttermost when You died on the cross. I also recognize that You are my Lord and the only meaningful and proper response is to surrender my life to You. I surrender my desires, dreams, and direction in life for You are my King. Please lead me lovingly as a Friend would. I commit my whole life to You from now on and forevermore. So help me God!

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Wrath of God

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Wrath of God Video: https://youtu.be/Wo9uyZY2_PY You can support my ministry by becoming a MINISTRY PARTNER. Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo   💁🏻 Concept: Wrath of God Wrath is the holy and just response of God against all sin. Unlike human anger, which is often selfish and uncontrolled, God’s wrath is His settled opposition to everything that is contrary to His holiness. It is not arbitrary but righteous, flowing from His perfect character. Scripture reveals God’s wrath against ungodliness (Romans 1:18), His future judgment on the unrepentant (John 3:36), and His ultimate outpouring in eternal fire. God’s wrath magnifies His justice while also magnifying His mercy in Christ, because Jesus bore God’s wrath on the cross for His people, delivering them from eternal condemnation. 📖 Bible Readings: John 3:36 (Exodus 34:6; Romans 1:18; Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 3:5–6; Revelation 14:10; Revelation 19:15; Nahum 1:2–3; Exodus 32:10; Deuteronomy 9:7–8; Psalm 7:11; Isaiah 13:9; Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; John 3:16-18, 36; Isaiah 53:5-6) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. The wrath of God is holy and just.  2. The wrath of God is consistent with love.  3. The wrath of God is satisfied in Christ.    💪🏼 Applications: 1. Fear God who will judge all sins with wrath. 2. Fight injustices knowing God is just.  3. Face God with the righteousness of Christ.   🎙Discussion: How does understanding God’s wrath help us appreciate Christ’s saving work on the cross? Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion?   🙏🏼 Prayer: Holy God, I tremble at the thought of Your wrath against sin, for You are perfectly righteous and just. Thank You for sending Jesus to bear the punishment I deserved, turning away Your wrath and granting me peace. Teach me to hate sin as You do, and to live in holiness out of gratitude for Your mercy. May my life reflect reverence for Your justice and joy in Your salvation. In Christ’s name I pray, amen.

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Worship Service Part 2

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Worship Service Part 2 Video: https://youtu.be/3w373x3WdOw You can support my ministry by becoming a MINISTRY PARTNER. Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo   💁🏻 Concept: Worship Service (Proskuneð ) New Testament Understanding: Another Greek word for worship is prokuneð which means to show respect or to literally prostrate fall (Matthew 2:11). It is never used as a ritual or scheduled event, like we do in the modern times. When Jesus applies the term as worshipping God in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24), He simply means that worshiping God must be done directly and it is no longer limited in space and time. Modern Misconception: In modern times, worship is always associated with church buildings or place of worship. According to Jesus, true worship must be done in Spirit and in truth anywhere, not limited by space and time. The church does not need a temple/building because the church is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. 📖Bible Readings: John 4:24 (Matthew 2:11; John 4:23-24; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 14:26; Romans 12:1; Revelation 15:4) 👨🏻‍💻Teachings Christ's Vision an mission 1. The whole world will be filled with worshipers. 2 The church of Christ will accomplish the mission. 3. The nations will bow down and honor God. 💪🏼Applications: 1. Gather in Christ to edify one another anywhere. 2. Fill the world with worshipers of God. 3. Make it your mission to honor God with your family. 🎙Discussion: Why do we have to treat the entire world as God's sanctuary? Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Lord God, teach me what true worship means. You do not dwell in temples made by hands, but in the hearts of those who love You. May I bow before You daily not just in songs or services, but in the Surrender of my whole life. Let my thoughts, words, and deeds become an offering of praise. Fill my họme and my world with Your presence so that everywhere I stand becomes holy ground. Be glorified, Lord, in Spirit and in truth. Amen.

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Worship Service Part 1

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Worship Service Part 1 Video: https://youtu.be/3cDzy0d43lg You can support my ministry by becoming a MINISTRY PARTNER. Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo 💁🏻 Concept: Worship Service (Latreia) New Testament Understanding:  The Greek words for worship are latreia and leitourgia, coming from Old Testament roots, describing priestly duties or sacrificial service BUT the Apostle Paul, in Romans 12:1, applies “worship” (latreia) as offering one’s whole being to God—a continual act of service without end.  Modern Misconception:  In modern times, worship is often understood as a church event focused on music, sermons, and communal praise. It has become something people attend rather than something they live.   True worship is not merely a scheduled activity on Sundays but rather a life of service and continuous obedience to God everyday without end. 📖 Bible Readings: Romans 12:1 (Romans 12:1-2; Luke 1:23; Acts 13:1-2; Matthew 4:10; John 4:24; John 16:2; Romans 9:4; Hebrews 9:6) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. Worship service is offering oneself to God.  2. Worship service is not limited by time. 3. Worship service is not limited by space.  💪🏼 Applications: 1. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice.  2. Follow God’s instruction continuously. 3. Worship God in workplaces and all spaces of life.   🎙Discussion: How can you practically worship God at all times? Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Father God, You are worthy of all worship, not just in moments but through every breath of my life. Teach me to offer myself to You as a living sacrifice—holy, pleasing, and fully Yours. Help me remember that true worship is not confined to a time or place but is a continual act of obedience and love. Whether I am at work, at home, or anywhere else, may my life reflect Your glory. Fill me with Your Spirit so that all I do becomes service unto You. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

    365 DAILY DEVOTIONS: Wisdom Video: https://youtu.be/IOjjSgJI-kY You can support my ministry by becoming a MINISTRY PARTNER. Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo   💁🏻 Concept: Wisdom and Knowledge Wisdom is more than intelligence or knowledge—it is the ability to see life from God’s perspective and to live accordingly. While intelligence helps us understand facts, wisdom teaches us how to use those facts to honor God and do what is right. True wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and leads to humility, discernment, and obedience. It is not merely about being smart but about walking rightly before God in every decision and season of life.  📖 Bible Readings: Proverbs 9:10 (Matthew 7:24; 1 Corinthians 1:24–25; Job 28:28; Proverbs 2:6, 3:5–7, 8:11, 12:15, 16:16; Colossians 2:3; James 1:5, 3:7; Ephesians 1:7–10, 5:15-17) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. Many people are intelligent, but not wise.  2. Intelligence is the capacity to acquire knowledge.  3. Wisdom is applying knowledge in God’s way.  💪🏼 Applications: 1. Seek both knowledge and wisdom.  2. Submit your will under God’s will.  3. Simplify life by always choosing what is right.  🎙Discussion: Why does life become more complicated when we fail to choose what is right?   Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Lord God, I’m in awe of Your perfect wisdom that weaves everything together for Your glory and my good. Forgive me for the times I think I know better or try to figure life out on my own. Teach me to trust Your wisdom more than my own plans. Help me seek Your truth in Your Word and to live by it, even when I don’t fully understand. Give me a heart that listens, obeys, and rests in You. You are too wise to ever make a mistake and too loving to ever be unkind. I surrender my thoughts, my plans, and my will to You. Lead me to live with the wisdom that comes from Christ alone. In Jesus’ name, amen.

    2025 DAILY DEVOTIONS 311: Will of God

    2025 DAILY DEVOTIONS 311: Will of God  Video: https://youtu.be/haIapamE6ew You can support my ministry by becoming a MINISTRY PARTNER. Email me: p.russel.ocampo@gmail.com For more Biblical teachings, please SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube Channel. Visit my Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RusselOcampo 💁🏻 Concept: Will of God (Sovereign) Permissive Will: God’s permissive will is His decision to allow certain actions, including sin, without approving them morally. He permits human freedom and evil choices but overrules them to accomplish His greater good and sovereign purposes (Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28). Sovereign Will: God’s sovereign will is His absolute, unchangeable decree that determines everything that happens in creation and history. Nothing occurs outside His control or plan. Every event—good or evil—ultimately fulfills His divine purpose and glorifies His name (Isaiah 46:10; Ephesians 1:11).   📖 Bible Readings: Daniel 4:35 (Psalm 46:10; Isaiah 46:9-10; Ephesians 1:11; Psalm 103:19; Isaiah 14:27; Proverbs 19:21, 21:1; Psalm 135:6; Daniel 4:35; Genesis 50:20; Acts 2:23, 4:27-28; Matthew 6:10; Romans 8:28; Romans 1:24–28; Genesis 3:1–6) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings: 1. God does whatever He pleases.  2. God’s eternal plan is destined for victory.  3. God’s sovereign will cannot be thwarted or questioned.  💪🏼 Applications: 1. Transcend doubt and fear.  2. Trust God’s power and character. 3. Train your heart to be still before the Lord.     🎙Discussion: How can we practically train your heart to be still before the Lord? Alternative questions:  1. What have you learned from this devotion? 2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer: Sovereign Lord, I praise You because Your will is perfect, supreme, and unchanging. Thank You that nothing happens apart from Your plan and that You work all things for the good of those who love You. Teach me to submit my desires to Yours, to stand firm in Your promises, and to seek holiness by obeying Your Word. Give me faith to trust when I cannot see and patience to wait on Your timing. Teach me to transcend doubt and fear, trust Your power and character, and train my heart to be still. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
