Title: Demonstrate Faith.

-
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7:7 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.7.7.KJV
Devotion: In the sermon on the mountains Jesus taught the disciples how to pray, to ask and many other life changing topics. 
Here Jesus teaches you and me how to demonstrate faith in God. 
  Though God knows our needs and can decide to meet it without asking, yet Jesus says we should ask. Why? Asking is a demonstration of faith in a living God. It shows trust in God's ability to provide, it also demonstrate to unbelievers that we can ask for specific things and get it. 
 If you prayerfully seek for clearity on anything that's unclear to you you'll also find answers because the great teacher - Jesus will teach you and show you the way. In the journey of life as a young person you need God to show you direction as promised in psalm 32 vs 8; therefore if you knock the door in prayers good will open it for you and direct your footsteps. 
 In essence the verse of today is an instruction to demonstrate our Faith in Christ Jesus. In John 16:24 Jesus says "Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." What a marvelous God! He asks you this morning to ask for anything that will glorify God and receive it. But do not ask amiss otherwise you'll not receive. Apostle James 4:3 says "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." Do not ask to please your lust.

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 ...
