Title: Rejoice in Hope!

-

 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 NIV.
Devotion: Paul wrote the above verse to the Romans, to teach them to follow the example of Christ which he himself followed. He probably wrote from detention which is an indication that he was going through rough times. 
This can only be possible if you have been redeemed and full of the spirit of God. As human being we tend to complain when we are going through rough patches, one may even lose faith and hence seek self help. But we cannot help God in things spiritual. The only available option for us is to submit to God, to trust in His ability to deliver us according to His promises in Isaiah 43 vs 2.
So next time you're going through tough times rejoice because there comes light in the morning no matter how long the night, Be patient because God's timing is different and He uses time to mold our character and most importantly be in constant communication with God in prayers, it is a demonstration of your faith in God's ability to deliver.
I invite you to taste Jesus Christ today he satisfies. Tomorrow might be too late, 2 Cor 6:2.

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 ...
