Title: Be a Blessing to Others!

-

 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.‭ Acts 20:35 KJV‬
Devotion: A Yoruba proverb crudely translated says "it is too little so I can give it out make you a micer." Some years back I gave ₦4000.00 to an old friend with apology that it was a small amount. After a few years he told me that the money was like 4 million naira to him on that day. This shows that no matter how little we should learn to share with others.
 We should remember that whatever we own today was given us, a blessing from God. That's the way we should see our wealth, because the same job or business that fetch you money made someone poor. That you're rich does not mean you're perfect it only means God wants you to be a blessing to others. So do not be proud, share the blessing to the weak, needy and elderly who have no support system.
  It can be just as easy to live life thinking only of ourselves and the good things we have received. Jesus spent most of His ministry helping and assisting others, but if we're being honest—and Jesus was always honest, too—most of us have a tendency to be selfish with God's gifts, or ignore opportunities to serve the weak or needy in our everyday lives.
  While the Christian faith is certainly about loving God, it is also about loving others as well. It is about using our new life in Christ to bring positive change to the lives of others—the same positive change Christ brought about in us.
  Take some time to consider the way your own life has been blessed by others. Then, write down a few ways that you can begin to help others who are in need. 
 What practical ways can you bless those in your neighborhood, work or school? Begin to build a habit of being a blessing to others in your neighbourhood, work place and community.
 Please share your thoughts with us 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 ...
