Title: Did you Ask Properly?

-
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 KJV
Devotion: In the sermon on the mount Jesus taught his followers including you and me how to live a Holy life and be rewarded. He says in Matt 7:7 Ask .... . Unfortunately many ask and do not receive they pray day and night yet nothing happened. Many of such person turn out to make Jesus a liar and start blaming God (Jesus). Some even stopped going to church, some became atheist or join other religions to seek succour. 
 The person who did not receive most of the time do not ask themselves why. Why do some pray same prayer and received and you did not. The Bible says if you ask amiss you will not receive (James 4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts). If you live in sin you may not receive because God is not obliged to answer prayers of sinners ( John 9:32, 1 Peter 3:21).
 Other reasons God will not answer is if what you want is not in line with his plan for your life, will not give glory to God and if it will harm you or others. If you are not ready or prepared you will not receive example is if you prayed to become a doctor without attending medical school.
  Dearly beloved, next time you want ask make sure you fulfill all righteousness and ask for Mercy. You will soon have testimonies in Jesus name. Please share your comments with us.

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 ...
