Title: Cheerful Giver

-
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV.
Devotion: Paul was aware of the weakness of the Corinthian church so as evengelist he decided to forgo his rights to receive from the church, instead he earned his living. He used this as example of self sacrifice. (1 Cor 9: 1-15). 
 In the second letter to Corinthians, Paul exhorted the Corinthians to donate for the church in Israel. God will reward us for giving to others as he has commanded. Paul states that God is “able” and not “will” because we first have a responsibility to give, if we do so, then God will reward us.
  It is Boxing day today, a day to share gifts to the needy and others. We should give willingly and joyfully to others because God gave us so that we we can give to others. He able and will reward us for giving to others. 
  Remember God loves a cheerful giver, and He will reward you bountifully. (2 Cor 9: 7-9). Dearly beloved, what is your testimony on this? Did you give to others? Try it from a cheerful heart. Halleluyah.

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.
