Title: With God all things are Possible

-
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13 KJV
Devotion: When you stand firm in faith nothing will be impossible for you because your God is a God of possibilities.(Luke 1:37) This statement can be translated to "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". We remember Christ brought Lazarus back to life after 4 days of death(John 11:14, 43)
  In John 11:40  Jesus asked Martha did "I not say unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" the strength we are talking of is derived from our believe in Christ Jesus. In other words we can do all things if we believe.
  Now what happens to the unbeliever? Can he or she do all things? No, for example he cannot raise the dead. To do that requires a strong faith, self denial in fasting and praying which is demonstration of faith. You pray to God because you have faith in God's ability to do whatever you ask of him.
 The other question is what level of faith do you have? Martha has faith but not enough, she believed in the resurrection of Lazarus not knowing that infact Jesus Christ has ability to bring him back to life immediately (John11 21-25). Dear reader, you can do great exploits for Christ but your Faith must be strong and you must live a life without blemish. Obey God totally, then if you ask anything in Jesus name, He will do it as promised (John 14:14).
 Are you ready? Ask for strength to live a life of total obedience and develop the habit of prayer and regular fasting. Testimonies await you, 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 ...
