Title: A Living Sacrifice!

-
Brothers and sisters, God has shown you his mercy. So I am asking you to offer up your bodies to him while you are still alive. Your bodies are a holy sacrifice that is pleasing to God. When you offer your bodies to God, you are worshiping him in the right way. Romans 12:1 NIRV
Devotion: It is not uncommon to see worshipers of gods in the Oriental world and Africa to fully dedicate their lives to their gods(idols). In fact children are initiated as early as age five to worship and serve these gods and they live all their lives in the shrine. Sometimes they are not allowed to marry and those who marry continue to live in the shrine. They are made a living sacrifice to their gods. 
It is not worthy that these people serve these idols faithfully and they dedicate all their life to serve these wooden gods, graven images which in actual fact cannot save them.
In contrast many confessed children of God who find it difficult to live a life of total obedience to God even though this God had done great miracles in their lives. Some had received Divine healing in their bodies, family life and financies yet they find it difficult to live for God.
 All that God requires of you and me is TOTAL OBEDIENCE, God did not say come and live in the shrine or that you should not have a family or job. He does not restrict your activities all He says is live, do everything according to His laws and precepts. He wants you and me to worship Him reverently and to preach the gospel far and near. 
 Abstinence from sin, a dedication to serve and worship God is LIVING SACRIFICE. Are you ready for it? Give your life or rededicate your life to God today and invite the Holy Spirit to guide and assist you to live for Christ.
  Your testimony is on the way, if you have questions, concerns, testimony or thoughts share these with us. Hallelujah.

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 ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
