Title: Radical love.

-
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/php.2.5.KJV
Devotion: Genesis 1 vs 1 forward and John 1 vs 1 forward tells us that Jesus was God but became son of man to live amongst men and feel what we feel, eat what we eat etc in other to reconcile the sinful adamic man unto Himself. Now that is radical love, Jesus loved us even though we do not love him except those who accepted Him as Lord and Saviour. It is not us who first love Him but he loved us first.(1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.)
  Now that you and me have been reconciled to Jesus should we not have same mind as Him? This is what Paul teaches you and me today that we should have the mind of Jesus Christ and do like He did. 
 This is radical love to love those who despise you, those who misuse you and pray for them because that is what Christ would do. In other words emulate Christ. This is our calling, which makes it is easy to carry out the great commission (Mark 16:15) The mind, character of Jesus must be seen in you and me all the time. 
Dearly beloved it's another weekend and it is good time to visit the elderly, the weak, the poor and render help to them even as God helps you. Share your Testimonies here. Hallelujah.

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 ...
