"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3" Devotion : Jesus Christ has made a profound statement worthy of meditation. Except every person who calls himself/herself a Christian is converted and become as little child he/she will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. What could Jesus mean? Let us look at the qualities of little children. They are dependent on their parents, honest, forgiving and forgetful, trust their parents, accept whatever their parents give them, teachable, and obedient. Likewise Christians who are truly converted are dependent on Jesus Christ, honest, forgiving and forgetful, trust God, accept what God gives them, run to God for answers, teachable, and obedient.  Dear beloved, are you truly converted as a little child?

From CAC Gospel Hymn Book  1. Fi ibukun Re tu wa ka,     Fi ayo kun okan wa;     K‘olukuluku mo ‘fe Re     K‘a l‘ayo n‘nu ore Re;     Tu wa lara tu wa l‘ara     La aginju aye ja.  2.

“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;” 2 Timothy 1:8 (KJV) The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the only way mankind can be saved (Acts 4:12). The gospel could have gone further than what we see today if every Christian was testifying about the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many Christians are not enthused about preaching the gospel because of self-centeredness. Some are too busy with other things; others feel too shy to share their Christian faith for reasons best known to them. Dear beloved, no excuse is too great to be silent over the testimony of our Lord. If you feel too shy or ashamed to preach the gospel to the lost, Jesus Christ won’t testify for you before the father and could take away your portion from the Kingdom of God (Luke 9:26). Don’t allow the suffering, afflictions, or challenges in your life to prevent you from sharing your Christ...

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28" Devotion : The opening scripture throws light on who we are to fear; Jesus Christ exhorted his disciples on many occasions to fear not but on this occasion pointed out who they are to fear. The body is predisposed to various attacks from the devil and his cohorts of darkness but the soul is out of their reach. The only person who has access to both the soul and the body is God; He is the creator of the soul and the body and has power to destroy both in hell. Therefore, the deceived who think hell is a myth should understand that hell is real and God has the ability to destroy them in hell if they don't repent from their sins and make Jesus Christ their Lord. Let us fear God and obey His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man, Ecclesiastes 12:13. God bless you. http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?i...

“He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.” Proverbs 18:9 (KJV) Show me your friends and I will tell who you are.  A friend is a person whom one loves and trusts, a close companion or comrade. The virtue of making friends is inherent in every human being, and  that is why is rare to see someone without any friends. We all want to be in the company of people, either our families or friends. A friend can influence you to do what is right or wrong, and that is why it is very important to choose friends carefully. Use the Word of God to choose a friend who is diligent, godly, and trustworthy (Proverbs 10:4). A diligent, godly, and trustworthy friend will influence you to be like them: productive and fearing and serving the Lord. But a careless or slack friend will only lead you to a wasteful and destructive life. May the Holy Spirit lead you to choose the right friends. Hallelujah! Be friendly! Prayer Point: Dear Holy Spirit, please lead me to ...

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:11" Devotion : Jesus Christ is indeed God; He could discern the mind of his audience and made the remarkable statement above. He said God, our Father, is able to give us much more than what we give our children. This should encourage someone to pray without ceasing. We should never doubt God because Jesus has given us a scripture to the effect that God is ever willing to give us what He has promised in His Word. Jesus Christ has also revealed by the scripture above that God only gives good things to His children. James, the apostle, also buttressed this point when he said all good and perfect things come from God, James 1:17. Dear reader what inspiration can you draw from the passage? http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjvstudybible.bible.kjv.bibleverses.bibleoffline

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matthew 7:6" Devotion : The Lord Jesus Christ referred to some people as dogs and others as swine. The people who are dogs are those who do not appreciate godly things. On the other hand the swine represents people who take precious things for granted; for example a person who claims to be a Christian and delights in committing sin is a swine. The people who render evil for good are also swine. If you give your body to strange men or women who it's to dogs and swine, depart from harlotry.  http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjvstudybible.bible.kjv.bibleverses.bibleoffline
