Title: Effective Prayer

-
for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew 7:8 KJV
Devotion: Prayer is a conversation with God, in which you demonstrate your believe in God that God will do that which you asked of Him. To pray effectively Jesus tells you and me what to do in Matthew 7:7 and reinforced it the next verse 8. 
 Jesus says "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" these action words are all we need when we pray. When we ask, seek and knock inline with the will of God we will receive, find and it will be opened for us. 
 God's response to prayer is threefold Yes, No or Not Yet therefore expect one of these responses when you pray but don't stop praying. If you receive a yes thank God, if a No ask God why, it does not mean you query God. You want to know how to ask properly or why you should not ask. If you receive a Not yet thank God and seek direction. 
 Remember, "for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Dearly beloved, demonstrate your faith and ask God anytime you need something inline with the will of God. Testimonies await you, share your testimony. 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 ...
