Title: Repay Evil with Good!

-
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 KJV
Devotion: First post general election day in Nigeria. Reading the social media one wonders if most commenters are truly Christians because most of the commenters show venom in the mouth. The names give most of the evil commenters away, they bear Christian names. I'm not surprised because name alone is not enough to tell if someone is true child of God.
A true child of God is born again and lives above board. He/she obeys God without reservation. You cannot hear evil comments from them. Recently someone insulted me on social media repeatedly, all I did was to thank him. Many others chatted me privately and praised my action.
 Dear Nigerian reader, the tension is very high now after the election please learn to tolerate and don't repay evil with evil. You should not allow anyone to wound or even kill you, instead be kind to them, be compassionate and understanding. But leave the scene of argument because no matter how some will not respond to your pleading (Psalms 58:4-5 they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.)
Dearly beloved, do you have testimonies on this? Share with us.
I am your friend Dr Joel Olanrewaju visit us at ojaysjoel.blogspot.com.

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 ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
