Title : True Joy

-

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11"
Devotion : There is only one place that the fullness of joy can be found: this place is the presence of God. In the old covenant the priest and the prophets were the only people who could come to the presence of God. However, in the new covenant the children of God are born into the presence of God.
 This shows that as a child of God you can live in continuous joy if you fellowship with God by studying His Word and the Spirit of God.
 God causes His children to will and do His good pleasure; this happens when the child of God has developed an obedient heart. 
Doing the work of God brings JOY, in Ezra 3: 12-13, the children of Israel led by Ezra built the house of God that was ruined and people were _joyful._ 
 Joy is also a fruit of the spirit reserved for the children of God only. Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, *joy, .....,* 
Dear reader, do you live in continuous joy?

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.

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 ...
