Title:Joy and Peace: A Divine Gift.

-
Romans 15:13  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Devotion: Romans 15:13 reminds us that our God is a God of hope, who desires to fill us with "all joy and peace" as we believe in Him. This verse highlights the importance of experiencing joy and peace in our Christian walk.
 The Source of Joy and Peace:
The apostle Paul emphasizes that joy and peace come from the power of the Holy Ghost. This means that our joy and peace are not dependent on external circumstances, no on riches, not academic brilliance or sport achievement but rather on the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. We get the Holy Spirit when we give our lives to Christ meaning joy and peace is from God.
Empowering Others:
Paul's prayer for his converts serves as a model for leaders. A good leader seeks to empower their followers, wishing them well and desiring their growth. By sowing good seeds, leaders can reap a good harvest.
Reflection and Application: As we reflect on this verse, let's ask ourselves:
- Are we experiencing the joy and peace that comes from the Holy Spirit? If not check your relationship with Christ.
- As leaders, are we empowering our followers and wishing them well? How many people have we led to Christ, what have we done to ensure they remain in Christ? 
- How can we cultivate a deeper reliance on the Holy Spirit's power in our lives? 
  May we, like Paul, desire to see others filled with joy and peace, and may we empower them to experience the fullness of God's presence in their lives.

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 ...
