BASIC SCRIPTURE: FRIDAY, 13TH NOVEMBER 2026 — ACTS 24:24-27 (KJV)

24. And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

25. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

26. He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

27. But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

BASIC SCRIPTURE: HEBREWS 3:12-15 (KJV)

12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15. While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION — FRIDAY, 13TH NOVEMBER 2026

Key Verse (Acts): Acts 24:25 — “And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.”

Key Verse (Hebrews): Hebrews 3:15 — “While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.”

Felix Hears the Truth (Acts 24:24):

Felix was the Roman governor of Judea. His wife Drusilla was a Jewess. He sent for Paul. He wanted to hear Paul. He wanted to hear him concerning the faith in Christ. He was curious. He was interested. He was willing to listen. Paul came. Paul spoke. Paul reasoned with him. Paul did not preach a soft message. He did not tickle his ears. He did not avoid the hard topics. He reasoned of righteousness. He reasoned of temperance. He reasoned of judgment to come. He spoke of the standard of God. He spoke of the moral law. He spoke of the consequences of sin. He spoke of the eternal judgment. He spoke the truth. The whole truth. Nothing but the truth.

Felix Trembles (Acts 24:25):

Felix trembled. He was afraid. He was convicted. He was moved. He was shaken. The truth of God’s word struck his heart. The reality of judgment touched his soul. The conviction of the Holy Spirit gripped his being. He trembled. But he did not repent. He did not turn. He did not believe. He did not obey. He did not surrender. He simply said, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.” He postponed. He delayed. He put it off. He sent Paul away. He deferred the decision. He said, “Not now. Later. Another time. A more convenient season.” But that convenient season never came. He sent for Paul often. But not to repent. He sent for him because he hoped for money. He wanted a bribe. He wanted Paul to pay for his release. He was not interested in the truth. He was interested in money. He was not interested in righteousness. He was interested in gain.

Felix Departs (Acts 24:26-27):

Two years passed. Felix was replaced by Festus. Felix wanted to please the Jews. He wanted to gain their favour. So he left Paul bound. He left him in prison. He left him in chains. He did not release him. He did not free him. He did not do what was right. He did what was politically expedient. He did what was advantageous. He did what was convenient for himself. He did not care about justice. He did not care about Paul. He did not care about truth. He only cared about himself. And he is remembered as the man who trembled but did not repent. The man who heard the truth but did not obey. The man who had the opportunity but missed it. The man who was convicted but not converted. The man who was moved but not changed.

An Evil Heart of Unbelief (Hebrews 3:12):

The writer of Hebrews gives a warning. “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” Unbelief is not just a mental state. It is not just a doubt. It is not just a question. It is an evil heart. It is a rebellion. It is a departure from God. Unbelief leads to departing. It leads to turning away. It leads to falling away. It leads to apostasy. Take heed. Be careful. Be watchful. Guard your heart. Guard your faith. Guard your belief.

Exhort One Another Daily (Hebrews 3:13):

We are to exhort one another daily. We are to encourage one another daily. We are to strengthen one another daily. While it is called Today. While there is still time. While the opportunity remains. While the door is still open. Exhort. Encourage. Strengthen. Lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Sin is deceitful. It deceives. It blinds. It hardens. It makes the heart callous. It makes the conscience dull. It makes the soul insensitive. It makes the spirit unresponsive. Exhort one another. Every day. Keep each other accountable. Keep each other encouraged. Keep each other strong.

Partakers of Christ (Hebrews 3:14):

We are made partakers of Christ. We share in Him. We share in His life. We share in His death. We share in His resurrection. We share in His inheritance. We share in His glory. But there is a condition. If we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end. If we endure. If we persevere. If we remain faithful. If we do not give up. If we do not turn back. If we do not fall away. We must hold fast. We must endure. We must persist. We must continue. We must remain. We must hold the beginning of our confidence. We must hold it steadfast. We must hold it unto the end.

Harden Not Your Hearts (Hebrews 3:15):

The writer quotes the psalm. “To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” Today. Not tomorrow. Not later. Not next week. Not next month. Today. Today if you hear His voice. Today if He speaks. Today if He calls. Today if He convicts. Harden not your hearts. Do not resist. Do not refuse. Do not reject. Do not rebel. Do not delay. Do not postpone. Do not be like Felix. Do not tremble but not repent. Do not hear the truth but not obey. Do not say, “Go thy way for this time.” Say, “Lord, here am I. I will obey. I will repent. I will turn. I will follow. I will surrender. Today.”

The Lesson for Us:

Do not be like Felix. Do not hear the truth and tremble but not repent. Do not hear the word and be convicted but not converted. Do not hear the gospel and be moved but not changed. Do not postpone. Do not delay. Do not say, “Later.” Do not say, “Another time.” Do not say, “A more convenient season.” Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day of decision. Today is the day of obedience. Today if you hear His voice, harden not your heart. Respond. Repent. Believe. Obey. Surrender. Follow. And do not be like Felix who heard the truth, trembled, and then walked away. Be like those who hear the truth, tremble, and then turn. Who hear the truth and then obey. Who hear the truth and then follow. Who hear the truth and then surrender. Today.

Question for the Day — Friday, 13th November 2026:

Are you like Felix? Have you heard the truth and trembled but not repented? Have you been convicted but not converted? Have you postponed your response to God? Do not delay. Today if you hear His voice, harden not your heart. Respond. Repent. Believe. Obey. Today.
