Title : Chain of Command

-

"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 1 Corinthians 11:3"
Devotion : The God we serve has laid down a chain of command that exists in His kingdom. This implies that the Father is the first in command, followed by Christ Jesus, followed by the man, and finally the woman.
 If this chain of command is adhered to there will be peace in the fellowship we have with one another. But what do we have in most places of worship these days? Why are there so many denominations in the church of God? 
 Nobody wants to take instruction from anybody. We all want to be head at the same time which is impossible. The real reason behind this is pecuniary gain, each up coming pastor wants to be a General Overseer (GO) so that church income will be under his control to spend as he wish. 
 I urge you to desist and allow God's work to progress, if you are truly called into ministry, do the work and don't expect to become a millionaire from it. Jesus, who you should emulate was not the richest during His time. Give honour to who it is due, you do not need to be a GO, Bishop or something to win souls for Christ.
  Dear reader, are you happy with where God has placed you in the chain of command? Share your thoughts here!

Title : Keys

-
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6" Devotion : There are three main keys: way, truth, and life. Everyone is calling on God but there is a way to do it, Jesus Christ is that way. Many religious folks claim they have the truth to God but Jesus Christ is the truth. 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 ...
