Title: Hated for No Reason?

-

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. John 15:18 KJV

Devotion: It seems strange that being a devoted follower of Jesus somehow attracts haters. People are easily irritated by you; they exclude you or count you out for no apparent reason. If this situation resonates with you, just know that nothing is wrong with you unless the Holy Spirit convicts you about a character or attitude that needs realignment.
Beloved, what you are experiencing is what Jesus Christ had experienced here on earth. He, too, was hated for no reason (John 15:25), and as the opening scripture says, it is already expected that if the world hated Christ, it would definitely hate His followers too. Jesus said that the world doesn’t know His Spirit (John 14:17), and that is why we are rejected, persecuted, and hated.
 So, whenever someone manifests the spirit of the world against you, rejoice and give thanks to God, for this only confirms that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life! Hallelujah!
Prayer point: Lord Jesus, following You and choosing to live in and for You is the best thing that has happened in my life. Even if I experience many trials, sufferings, and hardships, I know You are worth it. Thank You for leaving us with Your guiding words that light up our path whenever we are in trouble, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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 ...
