Title: Be Courageous!

-
‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬
[9] Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
https://bible.com/bible/1/jos.1.9.KJV
Devotion: Joshua had the leadership of Israel entrusted upon him after the death of Moses. He was overwhelmed by the magnitude of work before him. He had to fight wars and lead unwilling people. Somehow Joshua was reluctant but God encouraged him to rise up to the occasion.
 Everyone at certain moments in life goes through such low moments. When things are down, business is low, financial crisis, no progress in carrier and one feels discouraged. As God commanded and encouraged Joshua so God is speaking to you and me this morning. 
 Jesus also has to encourage the disciples in Matthew 28 vs 18 -20. He tells us to observe all things He has taught us and to go out and preach the good news to all peoples. You and I have to have Christ as Lord and Saviour and obey His commandments to love our neighbours as ourselves. It is after then we will be in good position to preach the word of God to our neighbours.
 As God was with Joshua so is God with you and me today if we do His work. So do not be afraid or dismayed just prepare your mind to preach the good news and God will fill you with the right words to say.
In other area of your life be encouraged God is with you to lead and guide you right. Halleluyah.

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 ...
