Title: Tribute to a lovely dear Father.

-
A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.
Psalms 68:5 NIV
Devotion: Do you have a dear father ...... a beautiful song by Jimmy Cliff in the 60s.  In the physical most people have a Father, some have a dear Father but I had a lovely, dear Father who was ready to lay down his life for his son.
  I remember my father was a lovely family man, he loved us and sent each of us to school even from his meagre resources. He made neat and smart uniform ( he was a tailor) for us, bought all books and gave money for lunch daily. He would sit with us and told us life changing stories. He was a prayer warrior and prayed for each child by name daily. The day I left home for Russia he cried like a baby. On the night of my marriage he was around and suddenly a snake appeared from nowhere. My dad killed it with bare legs. He stepped on its head not minding what could happen. He was such a good dad. RIP my dad.
  Now I have another Father, He is the Father of the fatherless, defender of widows, a trainer, a source of joy, blessings and most importantly a SAVIOUR. His name is Jesus, if you have not known him, come to Him today, in  Matthew 11:28, Jesus says "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".
  He will adopt you and you will not remain the same again. In love "he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, Ephesians 1:5 ESV
  He will guide you to Heaven and bless you on earth too. With Him there's no sorrow. Hallelujah!
Dear reader do you have a testimony, kindly share it with us.
   -JO.

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 ...

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...
