Title : The light of the world.

-
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14 KJV
Devotion: The catch phrase city on an hill literally means important, visible place to the world. It means beacon of hope. When you give your life to Christ the people around you will notice a change in you. You become visible, very important to two sets of people - one those who expects your downfall, they want you to backslide, you will not backslide in Jesus name. The second set are the ones who encourage you to grow in Christ, you become a shining light for Christ.
 Once you give your life to Christ and you are living in Christ you become a beacon of hope to the hopeless particularly to those who desire to be in Christ but cannot due to reasons beyond them. Such people see you as shining example and you must not disappoint them. You cannot hide the Christ in you unless you're fake believer.
  Dearly beloved, as you read this do ask yourself is Christ in me hidden or do I project Christ in good light. Remember your are on top of the hill no hiding place therefore go out and tell the world about Christ, it is the greatest commission (Matt 28:19). It is very important to do it this Christmas season. The Lord bless you as you do His work. 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 ...
