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.

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 LambThe 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 GodWrath 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.

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 theTemple 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) 👨🏻‍💻TeachingsChrist's Vision an mission1. 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 andin truth. 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: 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 KnowledgeWisdom 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.

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.

Even Satan must ask Your permission. It shows that You are the Almighty God and there is no one like You. Thank You for ruling over all things and yet allowing human freedom within Your perfect plan. Even when You permit evil or suffering, You still turn them for our good and for Your glory. Enable me to trust You completely. You are in control. I submit to Your purpose.

2025 DAILY DEVOTIONS 309: Waiting on the Lord  Video: https://youtu.be/NxSTbRc5I8o 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: Waiting on the LordWaiting on the Lord means trusting His timing with a heart of faith and patience. It’s not passive but active—seeking God in prayer, obeying His Word, and resting in His promises. As we wait, we learn to depend on His wisdom rather than our own and discover that His timing is always perfect and His plans never fail. 📖 Bible Readings: Psalm 37:7(Psalm 27:14; Proverbs 3:5; Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 37:4-7; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Lamentations 3:25–26; James 5:7–8) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1.

Do not wait passively—wait actively.2. Delight in waiting while trusting in God. 3. Do your best while praying for God’s intervention. 🎙Discussion:What is the difference between passive waiting and active waiting?  Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2. How can you practically apply our devotion?   🙏🏼 Prayer:Gracious Father, teach me to wait on You. Grant me peace while I trust in You. I surrender my future and all my worries to You. Forgive me for the times I have rushed ahead in impatience or doubted Your timing. Help me to depend fully on Your wisdom, discipline my heart in prayer, and delight in Your presence as I wait. Strengthen me to rest in the promise that those who wait on You will renew their strength. May my waiting bring glory to Your name as I hope in Christ. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

2025 DAILY DEVOTIONS 308: Voluntary Choices
2025 DAILY DEVOTIONS 308: Voluntary Choices Video: https://youtu.be/cpqIRLeufKE 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: Voluntary ChoicesVoluntary choices are decisions made freely in line with our desires, without external compulsion or force against our will. Scripture shows that people act willingly, whether in obedience or rebellion (Joshua 24:15; John 3:19). Human choices are genuinely voluntary but not morally neutral, they flow from the condition of the heart. Because of sin, our natural will is bound to choose against God until His grace sets us free (Romans 6:16–18). Thus, our voluntary choices reveal both our responsibility and our need for divine grace to truly will what pleases God. 📖 Bible Readings: Romans 7:19(Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; Proverbs 16:9; John 3:19; Romans 6:16–18, 7:15–20; Philippians 2:13; Galatians 5:17; James 1:14–15) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. We wish for the best, yet choose the worst.2. We decide freely, but God allows sovereignly.3. We know what God wants, yet choose what He hates. 💪🏼 Applications:Three tests of making the best decision:1. Have I prayed for it? 2. Is it Spirit-led? 3. Does it glorify the Lord?  🎙Discussion:What is the importance of making God-glorifying decisions?  Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer:Lord God, thank You that You created me with the ability to choose freely according to my desires. Yet I confess that apart from Your grace, my will is inclined toward sin. Thank You for setting me free in Christ so that I may now desire and pursue what pleases You. Help me to choose what is good, holy, and honoring to You each day. Strengthen me through Your Spirit to submit my will to Yours in every decision. May my voluntary choices reflect a heart transformed by grace. Lead me to Your success! In Jesus’ name 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: Visible ChurchThe visible church is the earthly expression of God’s presence. It embodies His love, grace, and truth in tangible form. Through acts of compassion, unity, and holiness, the invisible God is made visible to the world. As the body of Christ, the church reveals His character and makes the spiritual reality of His kingdom known (Matthew 5:14–16; John 13:34–35). 📖 Bible Readings: 1 John 4:12(Matthew 5:14–16; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Colossians 1:27; John 13:34–35; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12–14; 1 John 4:12; Galatians 5:22–23; James 2:17; Luke 6:36; Ephesians 5:1–2; Titus 3:4–5; Romans 8:29; Philippians 2:5; 1 Peter 2:21; Romans 8:9–11; Galatians 5:25; John 16:13) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. We are the visible manifestation of God.2. We ought to love and extend grace. 3. We make the spiritual reality become tangible.  💪🏼 Applications:1. Extend the love and grace of God. 2. Embody the character of Jesus.3. Echo the voice of the Spirit residing in you. 🎙Discussion:How can you practically become God’s visible manifestation?   Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer:Father God, thank You for showing Your love and grace through the church. Enable my life to reflect Your presence in real and tangible ways. Teach me to love like Jesus, to extend grace where it is hard, and to embody His character every day. May the Spirit’s voice be heard through my words and actions. Please make me a living testimony of a transformed life. May others see how much You have changed me. Use my life to draw others to Christ. In Jesus’ name, 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: Virgin BirthThe virgin birth teaches that Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb by the Holy Spirit, without a human father (Luke 1:34–35). It affirms Christ’s full deity and true humanity—God conceived by the Spirit, yet born of a woman. Essential to the gospel, it ensures His sinlessness and qualifies Him as the spotless Lamb and Redeemer, the new Adam. 📖 Bible Readings: Luke 1:34-37(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22–23; Luke 1:34–35, 37, 55; Galatians 4:4; Genesis 18:14; Jeremiah 32:17; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15, 10:23; 1 Peter 1:19; Romans 1:16; Titus 2:11; Acts 4:12; Numbers 23:19; Hebrews 6:18; Psalm 119:160; Psalm 115:3; Daniel 4:35; Romans 8:28) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:The Virgin Birth shows:1. God fulfills His promises.2. God can do all things. 3. God sends a sinless Messiah.  💪🏼 Applications:1. Trust God for His salvation.2. Trust God for His sincerity.3. Trust God for His sovereignty.  🎙Discussion:Why do we have to trust God without reservation? Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2.

Death once reigned through sin, but Christ broke its power by rising from the grave. His resurrection is both the proof of our forgiveness and the pledge of our future immortality. For those united with Christ, death is no longer a fearful end but a glorious beginning—a doorway into eternal life with Him who said, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). 📖 Bible Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:55(1 Corinthians 15:54–57; Isaiah 25:8; Romans 8:37–39; Hebrews 2:14–15; Psalm 23:4; John 11:25–26; Philippians 1:21–23; 2 Corinthians 5:8; Revelation 21:4; Joshua 1:9; 2 Timothy 4:6–8; Romans 14:8; John 14:1–3; Philippians 4:6–7; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 6:4–5; Philippians 3:10–11; Colossians 3:1–4) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. Death has been swallowed up in victory. 2. Death no longer holds any fear or sting. 3. Death marks the beginning of a new life. 💪🏼 Applications:1. Face death with faith and courage.2. Free yourself from fear and anxiety.3. Focus on the power of Christ’s resurrection. 🎙Discussion:Are you still afraid of death? Why or why not?  Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer:Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us victory over death through our Lord Jesus Christ. Because He rose from the grave, I have hope beyond the grave. Lord Jesus, remove all fear from my heart and help me live each day in the power of Your resurrection. When sorrow and loss surround me, remind me that death has lost its sting and that eternal life awaits all who believe in You. Fill me with joy and confidence until the day I see You face to face. In the victorious name of Jesus, 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: UniversalismUniversalism teaches that everyone will eventually be saved, claiming God’s love will overrule His justice and that hell is temporary or nonexistent. Scripture, however, declares salvation only through Christ (John 3:18; Hebrews 9:27). Though God desires all to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4), not all will repent and believe. The Bible rejects universalism, affirming that Christ’s atonement is sufficient for all but effective only for those united to Him by faith. 📖 Bible Readings: John 3:16–18(Hebrews 9:27; Matthew 25:46; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9; Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43–48; Revelation 14:10–11; Revelation 20:10, 14–15; 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9; Matthew 13:41–42; Jude 1:7; Isaiah 66:24) 👨🏻‍💻 Teachings:1. Those who reject Christ will not be saved. 2. There is eternal punishment for evildoers.3. The gospel is necessary for salvation.  💪🏼 Applications:1. Take sin and God’s judgment seriously. 2. Turn to Christ now before it is too late. 3. Tell the good news of Christ with someone today.  🎙Discussion:Why is universalism a wrong doctrine? To whom will you share the gospel today? Alternative questions: 1. What have you learned from this devotion?2. How can you practically apply our devotion? 🙏🏼 Prayer:Holy God, thank You for allowing me to hear the gospel and believe. Forgive me for all of my sins. Thank You that Your mercy and justice meet perfectly in Jesus Christ. Let my faith be anchored in the truth that salvation is found in Christ alone. Help me to cherish Your mercy with gratitude and to live with urgency in sharing the gospel with others. May my life point people to the hope of eternal life found only in Your Son. Lord, I surrender my life to You. I offer the remaining days of my life—for Your glory and honor.  In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
