Title: Waiting on God is Profitable.

-
‭Lamentations 3:25-26 KJV‬
 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, To the soul that seeketh him. [26]  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly Wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Devotion: Waiting is profitable especially when you Wait on the Lord.  A farmer prepared the land in September, then plants yams between October and December. The farmer quietly waits for the yams to sprout in January meanwhile he prays for early rain. He cuts grasses to cover the heaps so that the yam seedlings will not burn during the hot season of April. Then comes the rains and weeds start growing so the farmer picks outs the weeds and tends the yams to climb on the sticks. The yam is ready for harvest in June, sometimes in July. In all this the farmer has waited for 9-10 months and he's blessed after. 
 We Christians have to learn from the farmer and not be in to much hurry. While waiting on the Lord we need to study the Bible, pray unto God and share the good news of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. During this waiting period we reflect on our lives, our past and expectantly Wait on the Lord. We must not lose hope we must remember that there is nothing we have that's not given to us. 
 Are you waiting on the Lord this morning - for a child, job or relationship? Don't lose hope quietly wait on God and do the background work like the farmer described above. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth waited on the Lord and got destiny children. When you Wait you get the best results. 
  Take a moment to share your testimony with someone waiting on the Lord today and build his/her faith. 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 ...
