Title: Who do You Relate With?

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: But a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 KJV

Devotion: A saying goes thus "show me your friend and I will determine who you are" it is a true saying. A medical doctor will not make a street urchin his best friend nor will a cleric make a pagan his best friend unless he himself is a fake cleric.
  Solomon in his wisdom wrote the verse above and it describes the whole essence of the Christian commission (Matt 28:19) that says go and preach the gospel to every part of the world BUT it did not say make friendship with unrepentant world. You preach the gospel and move on, pray for his/her soul to be saved by God. Not that you should walk (make friends) with him/her.
  Some christians out of misunderstanding marry unbeliever thinking by that they will convert their spouse unfortunately they themselves, especially the women get reconverted from Christianity. The bible says what has light got to do with darkness. 
  Dearly beloved, don't get carried away make friends with fellow Christians and grow together in fellowship. 
  Be blessed as you assist the older and aged person in your neighbourhood this weekend. Testimonies await you. Hallelujah.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
