Title: Deep Faith.

-
For I know that my redeemer liveth, And that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Job 19:25 KJV
Devotion: In job 19:25, job said that "I know that my redeemer liveth and that he shall at the latter day upon the earth" this is a message from a person who has deep Faith in the living God.
Two days ago we talked of holding fast to our faith. In continuation we  examine the story of Job who was tested of God. Though he suffered a lot of hardship he did not deny God. 
  Sometimes it becomes difficult to distinguish between trial and problem. Problems that are caused not by you but sometimes by the devil is difficult to differentiate from trial which is from God. Only the spirit of God can assist us to distinguish between these two because the difference between the two is just a thin line. Problems can be self-inflicted especially when we do not live in obedience to the word of God. But God himself may want to know how much faith we have in him and therefore permit the devil like in the story of job to torment us. When this happen we must be able to say clearly that we will get out of this problem because our Redeemer lives. If you know that your Redeemer is alive and that he is able to save you from dangers or assist you to get out of your trials or problems then you have demonstrated faith in God. We as children of God must be able just like Job said that our Redeemer lives and that at the end he will save us from our troubles even at the point of death God is able to save us from our troubles.
  If you remember the story of the three Hebrew children Shadrach Meshach and Abednego they stood firm in their faith even at the point of death when they were about to be thrown into the oven they said that God is able to save them and even if He will not save them they will not deny Him. 
  Dear reader, what are you going through is it financial problem, marital problem health problem of whatever don't lose hope your Redeemer lives and at the end He is able to redeem you, to save you from your troubles. 
 Therefore, brothers as we march into the year 2023 I call upon you to hold fast to your faith do not waver believe that your God is able even as you live in total obedience to His words. If you do your own part by having Faith God is ready to do His own part to solve your troubles for you.
 Dearly beloved I will urge you to pray to God and commit your ways unto him in the year 2023 do not lean on your own but have faith in God and call him to assist you. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
 Dear reader, I pray that the Lord of hosts will guide and guard your heart and direct your footsteps in year 2023 so that you will prosper and you will do great exploits for God. 
  Please share your testimony with us. This message was prepared by Dr Olanrewaju Joel, visit us at ojaysjoel.blogspot.com for more devotionals.

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 ...
