Title: Worried? Turn to God.

-

Scripture Focus
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." — Philippians 4:6  

Devotion: Philippians 4:6 reminds us that worry is not meant to dominate our hearts. Paul’s words, “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God,” invite us to exchange anxiety for trust. To beTitle: Worried? Turn to God.  “careful for nothing” is to refuse to let fear or uncertainty consume us. Instead, we are called to bring every concern—whether small or overwhelming—before God in prayer.  
  Prayer is our ongoing conversation with God, supplication is the earnest cry of our deepest needs, and thanksgiving is the posture that shifts our focus from what we lack to what God has already done. When these three are woven together, they lift our hearts from worry into worship. Gratitude reminds us of His faithfulness, prayer keeps us connected to His presence, and supplication assures us that He hears even the most hidden desires of our soul.  
  This verse teaches us that peace is not found in the absence of problems but in the presence of God. Each time anxiety rises, we can choose to turn it into prayer, to lay our burdens at His feet, and to remember His goodness with thanksgiving. In doing so, we discover that His peace steadies us, even when life feels uncertain.  

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for inviting me to bring every concern before You. Teach me to replace worry with prayer, to lay my needs at Your feet, and to remember Your goodness with thanksgiving. Fill my heart with peace that surpasses understanding, and help me to trust You in all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.  

Today, let Philippians 4:6 be your anchor: when anxiety knocks, let prayer answer the door. Do not forget to share your testimony here. Kindly share this with your contacts. ©Dr Joel Olanrewaju, gbemide09@gmail.com.

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 ...

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...
