Title: Overcome Temptations with the Words of God.

-
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James 1:2‭-‬3 KJV
Devotion: The Bible is a mystery that is very difficult to understand unless the Holy Spirit interprets it. An example is the verse above where Apostle James says rejoice when you fall into temptation, the natural man will not understand this. The question is how can I rejoice in such situation?
  We all know that there's no promotion without passing an examination for any student. The life will live is a race from earth to heaven and we must have to pass many examinations on the way home in heaven if we must live with Jesus Christ. If this is our ambition as children of God, there will be temptation. It will be brought by Devil because he also wants people to live with him in Hell.
  We do not want to live with Lucifer but with Jesus so we must pass the examinations ie overcome temptations victoriously to make heaven. Our joy comes because God will not leave us alone in the journey (race), God will not permit any temptation beyond our capacity to come before us (1Corinthians 10:13). He has designed a way of escape (John 3:16) for us all that is needed is to be focus on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
  Dearly beloved, are you being tempted, remember Jesus was tempted but he overcame the devil with the words of God.(Luke 4:22) I therefore call on you to hide the word of God in your heart (Psalm 119:11). Your testimony comes soon.     Share your thought with us. 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 ...
