Title: Break Free from Habitual Sin.

-

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:11 KJV
Devotion: Romans 6:11 (KJV) reminds us to consider ourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ. When we forget our identity in Him, we may slip back into old patterns and struggle with recurring sin. This cycle of guilt, repentance, and repeat can end when we understand our true nature: dead to self and alive in the Holy Spirit.
Examples include Christians who occasionally drink alcohol, justifying it as not being drunkenness, or those who engage in fornication and later seek forgiveness. These actions reveal a lack of understanding about their position in God's kingdom. 
The key to overcoming habitual sin is recognizing the indwelling Holy Spirit's empowerment. As we focus on His presence and guidance, we'll become less consumed by our old selves and more victorious in our walk with God. Remember, beloved, you are overcomers through the blood of Jesus!
As we go into the second half of 2024, let's actively seek the Holy Spirit of God and let us allow it to guide our footsteps. The Bible says in Psalm 32 verse 8 "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." When we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us will be victorious at the end. Welcome to July, the month of perfection. Please remain in Christ and be blessed in Jesus' name.
Please feel free to share this devotional with your contacts and neighbours. Your question and suggestions are welcomed. 
Hallelujah! Amen.

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 ...
