Title : Honour Your Government.

-

"They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Matthew 22:21"
Devotion : The Pharisees wanted to entangle Jesus Christ with matters of the law regarding taxes but Jesus was smarter than they could ever think. He told them to pay their taxes and also give God His due. 
  A lot of people these days misinterpret this scripture, especially those who are not born again. One musician was asked why he mixed gospel songs with his secular music and he quoted the scripture above; this is a misuse or misinterpreting the scripture. 
  If you honour God by giving your life to Christ, total obedience, giving to needy and elderly and mission works, you are likely to be a good citizen; because what Jesus demands is what govts want you to do. Giving to Ceaser his due is not only in paying taxes but also obeying traffic laws, keeping your environment clean, maintaining peace with neighbours, and not stlealing. It is also going to work when you are supposed to and diligently doing your duty. 
Dear reader, do you honour your government by doing all above and also paying taxes or you evade them? Share your comments here!

Title : Keys

Many think life is all about the natural life but Jesus is the life beyond this present world. Choose Jesus and you would have these three most priceless keys in life.

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 ...
