Title: Iron sharpens Iron.

-
Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Proverbs 27:17 KJV
Devotion: There is a saying that goes thus "show me your friend and I will tell who you are". If a child grew up among monkeys he will behave like a monkey and these applies to you and me. The type of friends we keep will determine how far we go in Christianity. If our friends are lazy in the things of God we copy them, if they don't attend Bible class we will skip Bible class etc.
 While we must not ignore the weak christian, we must relate with Christian, disciples who will spur us to grow in the spirit, in knowledge of the word of God. We must be sharp also to assist others to grow otherwise people will ignore us as weak, not sharp enough. It is a two way action - you assist me I assist you we both develop in Christ.
 Therefore this morning I encourage you dear reader to walk among fellow Christians, no room for relaxation. Please share your testimony with us. Hallelujah!
 I am your friend Dr Joel Olanrewaju, visit us at ojaysjoel.blogspot.com for more devotionals.

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...
