Title: Alive in Christ, Dead to Sin.

-

 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.‭ 3 John 1:11 KJV
Devotion: As follow up to yesterday's topic Apostle John here admonishes us to imitate God in doing good. When one of my son's was a toddler he imitated me in all I do. He talked as I talked, walked as I walked, when I read he took his brother's book and behaved the same way. Now if I was a drunkered or beating my wife or something worst that's how he would copy my character. But thank God I was not any of that and he grew up disciplined. 
 Now if we confess that God is our God, our father we should imitate Him in all we do, by doing good, loving, not judging, not begrudging anyone. Our actions and thoughts should tell the world around us that we belong to Jesus Christ. People should see us and call us born again Christian, people should relate with us and call us pastor even when we are not. If this has not happened to you, then you need to check your acts and adjust. 
  Dearly beloved, why is it that people do not trust your faith in Christ. I urge you to imitate Christ, show love, plant good seeds, read your Bible and let your character spread the good news. It is then that you're alive in Christ and dead to sin. The Lord bless you as you do. Hallelujah.

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 ...
