Title: The Day of the Lord!

-
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel 2:1 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/jol.2.1.KJV
Devotion: The Day of the Lord is a special day that bring condemnation to evil and peace and joy to the righteous. When Israel was delivered from bondage in Egypt and Pharaoh perished in the sea it was the day of the Lord. 
 Israel was taken into captivity in Babylon when the King released them and they came home. Ezra read the book of history to the Israelites and they confessed and mourned for their sin it was another day of the Lord. Sin was defeated.
They soon lapsed into sin and continued in it. When Jesus Christ the messiah was born it was the day of the Lord, he suffered death of the cross so that all who believe in him will not be guilty but will be saved. He defeated death and evil was put to shame. His resurrection and ascension to heaven is another day of the Lord because it shows that He is the true messiah, the saviour of mankind from Satan the father of lies.
 When Jesus shall return to judge the world and deliver His own finally from death, evil and Satan will be the final day of the Lord. As I wrote above, this day of the Lord brings death and judgement on evil doers but to the children of God the day brings deliverance, peace and everlasting life with Christ. 
 Dearly beloved, the choice is yours, is mine to choose between certain death and eternal damnation or life and eternal joy with Christ. I urge you reader to start preparing for the of the Lord today as tomorrow might be too late for he says in 2 Cor 6:2 that today is the appointed day of salvation. I blow the trumpet to you do not wait till tomorrow. Be ready! Have a blessed day in Jesus name amen. 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...
