Title: Be Merciful!

-

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. ‭Luke 6:36 KJV‬
Devotion: At some point in our lives we have wronged someone expect to receive mercy. Sometimes we receive it and many a time we don't we either move on with our lives or feel remorse and sad. We, all are sinners and have done evil before God, yet God forgives our sins and loves us to the extent that He sent His son Jesus to die for us.  
  Now that we have received forgiveness do we forgive those who wronged us? Some of us do but many do not forgive, they keep malice, plot to hurt those who wronged them etc. We cannot claim that we are Christ's disciples without following in His footsteps. Jesus loves you and me and when we do not deserve to be pardoned of our sins Jesus showed mercy and took the sin upon Himself and died in our place. 
 We must emulate Jesus if we are truly His disciples and be merciful to that colleague, neighbor, spouse or friend who did wrong to us. We can talk to him, pray for him or assist him. Let us remember when we forgive others we set ourselves free, our hearts become free of the burden of thinking about the offender. We are able to focus on new things and improve our prayer live. We are able to move forward with our lives.
I urge you to think about your relationship with others today and ask God to show you who you should forgive. Go ahead and show mercy to him or her and see how God will answer your prayers. Testimonies are waiting for you.

"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.

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 ...
