Title: Who Called You?

-
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.28.NKJV
 Devotion: Are you into the work of God? How successful are you in the work? Let me try to define success as I understand it. In ministry success is the number of heaven bound souls you win for God, how many souls won by you are actively winning souls for God.
 Success is not how big your church is, not the number of congregants, not the number of cars in your fleet, not the houses you amassed for yourself but how many souls. You may not have a church, you don't need it but the fruits of your labour are all over the places actively working for Christ according to Matt 28:19.
  If you are truly called then everything will be in place according to the definition above. Everywhere you go you will easily win souls for Christ. If you called yourself as many have done, pretending that God called them you will seek to assist God by human wisdom. Your interest will be number of congregants, you will overlook their dressing, behaviour outside and inside the church. In fact you will build a large church and fill the pew with whoever is available not minding if they will make heaven, you will preach prosperity and they will have money to give you. You will take and not be able to give the needy round the corner. You will have airplane, fleet of cars, private security but you'll sell handkerchief to your followers for protection.
Once someone fits the paragraph above just know that he called himself, he needs to purge himself to make heaven and his followers need to see the truth and prepare themselves for heaven.
 Dearly beloved, let the Bible be your doctrine, read it prayerfully, ask God to interpret it to you and you'll understand what God calls you to do. If He calls you everything will work together for you according to His plan. Do not call yourself, Testimonies await you.

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 ...
