 An Emoji Devotional for Sat 28th Oct 2023


Topic: Dancing to God like David

Highlight:

While they were bringing the Lord's Covenant Box into the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked out through a window. She saw what King David was doing. He was jumping and dancing to worship the Lord. Michal felt ashamed of him.
2 Samuel 6:16 EASY

People who feel ashamed of those who dance to show gratitude of life are doing themselves no good because dancing is a good thing and God loves people who dance. Have you consider dancing to God, I mean dancing to praise God. There are numerous praise songs to dance to.

Dancing to God is a means of the whole body processing appreciation to God for all the good things He has done for you. Apart from the fact that it's an exercise its a demonstration of gratitude. Psalms 149:3 says, “Let them praise his name with dancing


Do you dance to God these days. spiritual dancing serves a purpose: to praise God. Remember God creates us to praise Him. When you dance to God be it in your closet or openly, you have complete a rite of worship to God with your total existence. I will not be ashamed of myself in the presence of my God. Endeavor to start dancing to God as a sign of worship.

Everything that is alive should praise the Lord. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Psalms 150:6

Prayer: I serve a loving God who loves me the way I look and I will glorify Him with my dancing in Jesus name.

Direct them to be one in you


An Emoji Devotions for Fri 27, Oct 2027

Topic: Direct them to be one in you

Highlight:

that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:21 KJV

God wants us to be united with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Those who show love are free from the energies of cruel feelings because it takes direct response from God when true love among brethren is to be challenged by cruelty. A true love already understood the respite they get from the adamic behaviour of potential threats from people.

In Jesus Christ we have been redeemed and washed from all adamic nature and Christ wants us to be one in unity among ourselves who are brothers and sisters of Christ; As a child of God, we are not to have individual standards that divide us from the sheep fold. Consider the flock of sheep, they walk together, eat together and stay together. The world is cold these days but in 1 cor 7:17 "Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God." Whoever keeps God's commands do love God and we have to live in unity inbetween the Church people. John 14:15

There is a way we must blend into unity with the body of Christ where we belong.

Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.

1 Corinthians 7:20‭-‬24 KJV

Since we must abide with other people of God, we must abide in such unity to show the world that it was God that sent Jesus to the world. We must do what will make the gospel look real and fun to attend. Remember that the first miracle Jesus did at the Marriage in Cana (John 2:10-12) was to turn water into wine. This shows us that Christians should endeavour to make the gospel life of fun and not too boring so people may understand that unity of the sheep is truly worth the reason God's people are joined together to make the world happy and safer place as to why God sent Jesus to save the world from cruelty and disunity.

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

John 17:22‭-‬23 KJV

Prayer: Father teach us how to be the sweetness of unity of Christ's body and to bring joy of God to the world. In Jesus name.

Weakness without Strength



An Emoji Devotional for Tue 26th September 2023

Topic: Weakness without strength

Highlight:

This is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.

Like birds hovering overhead, the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.” Isaiah 31:5


Any Christian who can quickly ask God for direction before taking an impulsive action is a true Christian. we have no direction without Him, we lack protection on every side, and we were never meant to carry a heavy load.

Where is the strength to disobey God coming from for those who battles with sin are begging for forgiveness? 
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6)

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless
, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36 ESV).

Other animals are good for carrying things, but not sheep. They were not meant to carry a heavy load. In fact, they would be crushed under such a weighty burden.

You must be strong though the power of God alone. Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He will sustain you” (Psalm 55:22).

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8

We are all weak and cannot even speak for ourselves but only Jesus alone can strengthen us and be our advocate through His Holy Spirit.

.... And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1 John 2:1

In summary a child of God needs to ask God for grace and strength to seek him first before taking action. With man it maybe impossible but with God all things are possible.

Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiatives and God's provision alone for all your life's journey. Matthew 6:33, Luke 9:3


Prayer: Father, I acknowledged that I am week without you, please give me grace and power to first of all inquire of you about my impulsive life's decisions in Jesus name. 1 Sam 30:8
