Title: Do you want to live long?

-
Scripture says, “Honor your father and mother.” That is the first commandment that has a promise. “Then things will go well with you. You will live a long time on the earth.” (Deuteronomy 5:16) Eph 6:2‭-‬3 NIRV
Devotion: To live a beautiful, healthy long life and be blessed of God, you need to fulfill this obligation which is well spelt out in the scriptures Deut 5:16, Eph. 6:2-3.
The commandment says Honour your parents and did not qualify the type of parent either believer or not. Therefore do not hide under any concerns to deny them honour and care. This commandment is the only commandment with a promise - that you will live long.
To honour them means - take care of them especially in their old age when they cannot care for themselves again. Each time you do they will bless you. 
Dear reader if you have given your life then do the needful - honour your parents and care for them. The blessings that follows will be yours.
Do you have concerns about this? Please share it with us. Hallelujah.

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 ...
