Title: Living in Unity.

-
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.133.1.KJV
Devotion: I remember we used to sing a song from the verse above at departure for end of year vacation in school. The song was to remind us of beautiful time we had in hostels and a urge to come back. It was a beautiful song which unfortunately I have not heard anyone sing in recent years. Back then life was simple we lived in our communities and villages in friendship, we were one big family, I could go to a friend's family house and eat with love, the was no fear the other guys will also share from my food as well. 
 These days of hardship and financial insecurity such is not frequent again. In fact friendship and communal living is not mordern again because our handsets and computers have become our friends. There are people with millions of online friends they had never met before and will never meet. Families live under the same roof but hardly speak to each other because each person is preoccupied with his or her handset, chatting "friends" from distant lands. No wonder doctors are seeing many cases of depression in their clinics. 
 I urge you dear reader to come back to Christ and emulate him. Jesus lived among his disciples, they ate together, drink together and slept together. Jesus remains our standard, no matter what let's follow in his footsteps, show love to neighbours, find time to speak one on one with them. We should visit our parents and vice versa parents should visit their children. Online friendship is not friendship. Dearly beloved what is your opinion on this?

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 ...
