Title: Give your Whole and Receive Holy Spirit.

-


Acts 2:38 KJV
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
Devotion:
Imagine driving from Lagos to Ijebu Ode, but mistakenly turning left at Shagamu interchange, heading in the opposite direction. What would you do? As a wise person, you would stop and ask for directions. This is exactly what the people who heard Peter's sermon did. They asked, "What shall we do to get back on the right path?"

Many people know the story of Jesus, but not as the Messiah, so they may not know what to do. They attend church but remain "church goers," not truly following Jesus. They may even leave the church to pursue worldly desires, fight, and hold grudges.

Today, on Pentecostal Sunday, I urge you to ask, "What shall I do to inherit the kingdom?" It won't cost you anything; simply decide in your heart to repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Once you take this step genuinely, Jesus will do the rest. He will give you the Holy Spirit, but only when He is sure you have truly repented. He will know when you stop living a life of sin and start living a life of love, kindness, and service to others.

Once you have taken this step, Jesus will give you the gift of life - the Holy Spirit. Sustain it by continuously living in Christ and praying for it. The Holy Spirit will guide your heart until you inherit eternity with Christ.

Please take these steps today; it's free, not stressful, but necessary for salvation. If you already have the Holy Spirit, lead someone near you to Christ. Share this devotional; it's part of our work as witnesses. Reach me at gbemide09@gmail.com for questions, suggestions, counseling, and prayer requests.

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 ...
