Title: Giving

-
... give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38 ESV
Devotion: Jesus here encourages us to be our brother's keeper because it's 1) the right thing to do. 2) because we also received what we have and 3) it is blessed to give.
The bible says in Eccl. 11:1 "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days" ie give to who cannot repay you and you will get it back in several folds from another source. I have done several times and I was richly blessed. An example is when I shared (the total amount I had on me for the week) 2500 Naira (Nigerian money) and within the hour a friend transferred 100000 Naira to me without knowing I was in need of money.
  What do you give? I read from the papers recently how people donate expired indomie noddles, biscuits and medicine to orphanages. This clearly is not acceptable to man and God. Dear beloved of God, do you give and to who? If you give to a rich person expecting a reward it is called thrift that is not giving. 
  Do you go on to broadcast it on TV as some do? It becomes meaningless and you have received your reward from praise singers. 
Do you have a testimony or concerns about this or other topics shared. Let's have your reaction. Hallelujah.

Title : Keys

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 ...
