Title: Do Not Waste Your Life!

-
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. Mark 8:35 KJV

Devotion: We used to sing "I have decided to follow Jesus, 3x, no turning back 2x... ", unfortunately I have not been hearing the song in our churches and programs again. What people teach these days is how to get rich quick, we no longer pray for unsaved souls. Evangelism is at the lowest because all of us wants the joy of the present at the detriment of the future glory that awaits us if we stand to the end. 
 Jesus Himself says wide is the path that lead to destruction but narrow is the way to eternal life, whoever finds the narrow path and walk in it will have everlasting life. To walk the narrow path is to forsake the enjoyment of today and follow Jesus, life may not be easy, people will despise you, family will hate you, you may not have many clothes and sometimes feeding maybe difficult but at the end you'll have joy both here and in eternity. 
 We have to remember that we brought nothing here and that all we have were given us by God; importantly when we shall leave we certainly will not take anything from here. So why not work for our eternity because we will spend more years there.
 It is better to lose all for Christ and the Gospel and have eternal life of joy than enjoy this world of sin and perish. We will not perish in Jesus name. Let's begin to work for our eternity now because we don't know the time when God will say time up. May we live long in Jesus name, amen. 
Please don't forget to share your testimonies with us here.

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 ...
