Title: Do not Condemn!

-
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17 KJV
Devotion: God is love, and He has compassion for you and me even before we have knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ. God does not hate you and me but He hates Sin, not the Sinner and God does not want the Dinner to perish.
In Evangelism it is amateurish to condemn a person and have nothing to do with him/her just because of his Sin. Some Christian go on to ostracize such sinners in their place of work, neighbourhood and some even stop relating with their parents because they saw them as sinners. 
That is not the preaching of Christ, He preached Love. In Matthew 22:37, 39,  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself". 
 If you love your neighbour (who could be anybody) and you're compassionate with him/her, the person will notice the Christ in you. When you preach to him/her all you need will be few words because the neighbour has enjoyed Christ in you. 
 Remember before you know Christ, He did not condemn you, but loved and still loves you. So also you should not condemn but love all and lead all to the love of Christ by your conduct. Hallelujah.
Do you have testimonies to share with us, you're welcome.

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 ...
