Title : Take no Offence

-
"Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! Luke 17:1"
 __AND [Jesus] said to His disciples, Temptations (snares, traps set to entice to sin) are sure to come, but woe to him by_ _or through whom they come!(amplified bible)

Devotion : Jesus Christ noted that offences will come, but warns the one through whom it will come. He said the offender (tempter, the one who caused others to sin) will be severely punished. 
  This shows how much Jesus Christ loves His children; His children are so dear to Him that He does not want them to be offended (tempted, snared to sin ) 
Offences could lead to pain, hatred, discouragement, shyness, bitterness, etc.; therefore the Lord Jesus does not want to entertain them. Likewise, the children of God do not have to entertain offences. We need to pray against temptation as much as possible so believers can live in peace, joy, and love.
  Dear reader, have you been offended (ensnared to sin, tempted to sin) before? Share with us how you dealt with it!

   I dealt with it by praying regularly and being watchful.

Title : Keys

-
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6" Devotion : There are three main keys: way, truth, and life. Everyone is calling on God but there is a way to do it, Jesus Christ is that way. Many religious folks claim they have the truth to God but Jesus Christ is the truth. Many think life is all about the natural life but Jesus is the life beyond this present world. Choose Jesus and you would have these three most priceless keys in life. Kindly share your thoughts with us! http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjvstudybible.bible.kjv.bibleverses.bibleoffline

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
