Title: Come to the Source of Life!

-


"Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6;35.
Devotion: In this metaphor, Jesus identifies Himself as the essential sustenance for spiritual life by describing himself as "I am the bread of life." Just as bread is a basic food essential for physical survival, Jesus presents Himself as the spiritual nourishment necessary for eternal life. It underscores His role as the sustainer and provider for the deepest needs of humanity. Please sit down and reflect on this, you'll understand that it is the absolute truth. 
  The second part emphasizes the sufficiency of Jesus. He says "Whoever comes to me will never go hungry," because Jesus is the source of life, He is God in the form of man. Therefore coming to Jesus means accepting Him, seeking Him, and entering into a relationship with Him. Spiritually, it signifies that in Jesus, one's spiritual hunger, the longing for meaning, purpose, and fulfillment, will be satisfied completely.
In the third part Jesus says "and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." He is not talking of need of physical water but spiritual. Believing in Jesus involves trust, faith, and reliance on Him. Spiritual thirst, like hunger, represents a deep need and desire for something more in life. Jesus assures that those who put their faith in Him will have their spiritual needs and desires fully met, providing a sense of wholeness and peace.
 In essence, Jesus is offering Himself as the ultimate source of spiritual life and fulfillment. This verse is an invitation to experience a profound and enduring relationship with Jesus, where one's deepest spiritual needs are met, leading to eternal satisfaction and contentment.
  Dear reader are you out there still being deceived by some fake spiritual leaders? Come to the source today, Jesus is at the door (Revelation 3:19) he wants to relate with you and give you the bread and water of 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 ...
