The Window of your Soul

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sunday 7th of December 2025

Topic: The Window of your Soul

Highlight: 

The words that people speak come from their thoughts. It is what comes out of their mouths that makes them unclean. Matthew 15:18

Your eyes are like lamps and your body is like a room. Make sure that your eyes are like a clean lamp, then your whole body will have light. If your eyes are not good, then your whole body will be in the dark. If the light in you has become dark, you will be living in a very dark place.’ Matthew 6:22-23 

Let’s be real for a second. We spend so much time worrying about how we look on the outside—fixing our hair, choosing the right clothes, putting on a smile. But the Bible tells us the real story isn't on the surface. It’s in the eyes.

You know that saying, "The eyes are the window to the soul"? Jesus took that seriously. In Matthew 6, He tells us the eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is good—clear, focused on God—your whole life lights up. But if your eye is bad? If it’s jealous, greedy, or full of filth? The darkness inside is terrifying.

I love this thought: The birds aren't watching you from the window; they are looking through your eyes.

Think about that. Your eyes reveal the architecture, the design, and the terrain of your spirit. When someone is messy inside—full of "rag waters," bitterness, and unhealed sores—you can see it in their gaze. You can't hide a spirit that is unkempt and lifeless.

We have to ask ourselves the hard questions today:

• Do thoughts hunt your spirit?

• Are you constantly distracted by the flashiness of the world?

• Are you stuck in the guilt of yesterday?

1 John 2:16 warns us about the stuff that clutters our view: the lust for things we see, the pride of life, the hunger to impress people. That stuff is toxic.

And here is the danger zone. Jesus warned us in Matthew 12 about the man who gets cleaned up but stays empty. He kicks out a bad spirit, sweeps the house clean, but leaves it vacant. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. An empty house just invites the old demons back, plus seven worse ones. You can't just "stop sinning" or "clean up your act." You have to fill the house.

If a spirit looks through the window of your soul today, what does it see? Does it see a tidy but empty room? Or does it see Jesus Christ sitting on the throne?

Don't leave your soul open to the "filthy spaces" of life. You need to occupy the house. You need to confess, like the jailer in Acts 16, and believe in the Lord Jesus—you and your whole household.

God has spoken. His truth is found in Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Fill your eyes with Him, and the darkness won't stand a chance.

Prayer: Hi God, hallowed be Your name. I’ve always known You have plans for me, and those plans are wrapped up in Jesus. Please, God, keep me in the safe hands of Your Holy Word. Guard the window of my soul with Your mercy. Close my eyes to the filth of this world and open them wide to Jesus. Christ in me, the hope of glory. Amen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

The Unbothered Spirit of Jesus

 

An Emoji Devotional for 21 November, 2025 

Topic: The Transcendent Calm: The Unbothered Spirit of Jesus

Bible Highlight:

"And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, 'Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?'"

Mark 4:37-38 (NKJV)

The Devotional:

The Spirit of Jesus is a Spirit of colossal magnitude—a fortress utterly "unbothered" by the chaotic hila-hilos and oscillating vicissitudes of life. It is a Spirit anchored deeply in the immutable mercy of the Most High. Are you currently navigating a raging tempest? Does it appear that your vessel is taking on water, poised to sink into the abyss? Has your heart entered a perpetual state of panic? Speak these words with conviction: "Lord Jesus, You are the equilibrium of my soul and the strength of my life. Amen."

In our humanity, we struggle to mirror this divine composure. Our natural instinct is to panic, harboring the suspicion that if we do not frantically intervene, our boat will capsize. Yet, Jesus possessed the unbothered Holy Spirit—a serenity that was ready to face the action not with anxiety, but with authority. The passage does not suggest we should be unbothered by duties that require our attention; rather, we must be unbothered by situations that threaten to breach our spiritual defense system. Excessive worry is a dangerous gateway; it creates a draining loophole through which temptation enters.

There are storms beyond your control where the only logical response is divine stillness. In such moments, while you actively place your trust in God, you must maintain an internal posture of being unbothered. To do otherwise is to open strange doors to fear, doubt, and iniquity—which serves as the brooding ground for the tempter to strike.

Observe the life of Jesus in the wilderness. He was completely unbothered by the devil’s provocations. He focused His mind entirely on His submission to God’s Will, which empowered Him to select the precise, sword-like answers in Matthew 4:1-11. The bridge between your current crisis and your deliverance is your ability to remain spiritually unruffled, allowing the Lord to dismantle the storm.

When you are agitated, your prayers often feel intercepted because the tempter uses your anxiety to measure the "degrees" of your faith. I pray that God will not permit the enemy to gauge our spiritual temperature through our fears. Consider the degrees of little children; they are perpetually unbothered because of their inherent trust and innocence (Matthew 18:3).

We decree that we shall not be shaken in Jesus' name. Let us surrender our lives to Christ, accepting Him as Lord and King, and petition Him for the gift of His "Unbotherable" Holy Spirit. Panic is a product of ignorance, for as Jesus told the woman at the well, "You Samaritans worship what you do not know" (John 4:22). To know Him is to have peace.

Prayer:

Father Lord Jesus, grant me the impartation of Your Unbotherable Holy Spirit. Bestow upon me the grace that defeats the tempter through the power of stillness and absolute trust. I receive the peace that surpasses all understanding. In the Name of Jesus, Hallelujah. 🙏🏾✨

Every Demon making you Uncomfortable will go

 An Emoji Devotional for Tue 14th October 2025

Topic: Every Demon making you Uncomfortable will go

Highlights:

 "Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. St. Matthew 7:7

 "Go and say to Hezekiah, 'This is what the LORD God of your ancestor David says: I've heard your prayer. I've seen your tears. I'm going to give you 15 more years to live. Isaiah 38:5

Have you ever been sick or felt uncomfortable in life before. Naturally or unnaturally things could that make one uncomfortable may occur by internal or external forces. Our life must depend on higher power to save us from the invader. No argument, it's not everything that's demonic but somehow if things gets out of hand or gets out of control. You need to pray. There was a day I felt so sick and was at the point of dying then I quote God's word in Psalms 118:17

"I will not die, but I will live and tell what the LORD has done."

Suddenly the sickness went off like as if the night suddenly turns into day and I was made whole. But some long time back when I had similar experience, I had to quote several words of God and prayed with many declarations before I got my healing.

The difference is there are demons making people's life uncomfortable and what makes them likewise uncomfortable is when make healthy declarations concerning ourselves from the Bible and having faith that they are powerful and working. And that's it! Uncomfortable situation will say bye bye to you.

So when you are faced with a situation that make your life feel uncomfortable, speak the word of God to yourself and believe you are someone special by the word.

Prayer: Father it is written, no weapon formed against me shall prosper in Jesus name. Amen

Fear Of Defeat: You Can or Can't do it. Highlight

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sabbath 20th September,  2025

Topic: Fear Of Defeat: You Can or Can't do it.
Highlight

Remember that I have told you this: Be strong and do not be afraid. Do not be weak but be brave. I, the Lord your God, will be with you, everywhere that you go.’ Joshua 1:9

"He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat" - Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte was a French statesman and military leader who led many successful campaigns during the French Revolution and the French Revolutionary Wars.

According to Napoleon's quote, who is a defeated person?

A defeated person is someone who goes to hide because of fear. The first sign Adam displayed after being defeated by the devil was to hide himself.

Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

 He replied, “I heard you walking in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.” Genesis 3:9-10 NLT

Adam had no clue of what to do about his nakedness until God clothed him. That another sign of defeat.

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. Genesis 3:21 NIV

A defeated person is outdated, worn out and cut off from the working system. Just like outdated cars, worn out engines and a phone without network. A defeated person is the one who is afraid of being defeat. Their mind is already grounded.



I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back Matthew 25:25 NLT

Jesus is the first solution to defeat syndrome. Trusting Him will force all our fears to bow.

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, Philipian 2:10

You must believe in the Lordship of Jesus over your heart with boldness call His name to force out defeat in your life.

Do not give up, Jesus in you is greater than fear, paranoia, and defeat.

Pray this Prayer: I have Jesus, there is no fear. I will succeed, I will be brave, my life is beautiful. Amen thank you Jesus.

The Power of Pentecost

 

An Emoji Devotions for Monday 4th August 2025

Topic: The power of Pentecost

Highlight: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all in one accord in one place. Acts 2:1

The Lord's followers were all assembled in one place. The first time the day of Pentecost was prophesied happened in the Old Testament when the foundation of the Temple was laid. Ezra 3:13 No one could distinguish the sound of the shouts of joy from the sound of weeping, because the people made so much noise. And the sound was heard far away. 

The day of Pentecost was the day the foundation of the Church was laid by the Apostles. "Suddenly there was a noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty wind! It filled the house where they were meeting. Then they saw what looked like fiery tongues moving in all directions, and a tongue came and settled on each person there. The Holy Spirit took control of everyone, and they began speaking whatever languages the Spirit let them speak. Many religious Jews from every country in the world were living in Jerusalem. And when they heard this noise, a crowd gathered. But they were surprised, because they were hearing everything in their own languages. Acts 2:2-6

The noise of rejoicing from heaven filled the house of the church meeting and a tongue-like fire came on their head to fulfill God's Promise that all who follow Jesus will be Baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire. Matthew 3:11.

Since that day till today, the power of Pentecost is still active. This promise is for you and your children. It is for everyone our Lord God will choose, no matter where they live.” act.2.39

Prayer: God please choose me and give me The Power of Pentecost today. In Jesus name. 

Today, you will see the hand of the Lord in action

 

An Emoji Devotional for Mon, 21st July 2025

Topic: Today, you will see the hand of the Lord in action.

Highlight: "And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them." - Exodus 19:14

What will happen when God fights every battle we call Him to fight? Some might become complacent or lazy, while others may feel that God is partial, and those who don't benefit from the battle might cry foul. However, God's intervention often requires our acknowledgment and understanding of the situation.

In Deuteronomy 1:6, we're reminded, "When we were at Mount Sinai, the Lord our God said to us, 'You have stayed at this mountain long enough.'" This revelation shows that not every problem requires a dramatic solution. God solves our problems according to the requirements. As Matthew 5:45 says, "...He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous..."

In Leviticus 26:9, God promises, "For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you." If God has made a covenant with you, you don't need to worry. Though battles may come your way, you will overcome. As Psalm 27:3 says, "Though the battle may rage against me, my heart shall not fear; though war may rise against me, in this I will be confident."

God's hand is still in action today!

Prayer: Great God of the Great Covenant, show me mercy! Put Your hand in action for me. 🙏

The breed of God

 

An Emoji Devotional for Wed 2, July 2025

Topic: The breed of God

Highlight:

The people were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after they had waited a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
act.28.6.GW

You are never walking alone. You have a backing of 24/7 protection with God's coverage from Holy God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. Who you worship will not just let you be put to shame for any or no reason.  Acts 17:28 says that Certainly, we live, move, and exist because of him. As some of your poets have said, ‘We are God’s children.’

He is the Lord that does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Jesus is what Jesus said "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." Mark 16:16 and He declared and set that statement as GOODNEWS.

If you ever want to start receiving good news from God then you should believe in Jesus Christ the son of God as soon as you can.


Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I say to you that I exist because of you. Keep me going in your express favor and mercy. I believe in You my Lord and Saviour Jesus. Amen.

Prayer For Renewal

 

Emoji Devotional for Mon 30th June 2025

Topic: Prayer For Renewal

Highlight: Jesus replied to Nicodemus, “I can guarantee this truth: No one can see God’s kingdom without being born from above.”  John.3:3.GW

Prayer:

O Sovereign Lord, Creator of all that is seen and unseen, we stand in awe before Your throne, where the Word, Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, reigns eternal. In the beginning, You were the Word, O Lord Jesus—coequal with the Father, God Most High, through whom all creation came to be. By Your divine power, the heavens were formed, and the earth was shaped, yet You humbled Yourself to dwell among us, the Light of heaven come to earth.

Holy Spirit, breathe upon us, that we may worship the Word made flesh in spirit and truth. We, Your temple, redeemed by Your sinless blood, proclaim You as the King of Israel, the Lamb without blemish, the only Son of Man now seated at the Father’s right hand. The zeal of Your Father’s house consumes You, and we surrender our hearts to be Your dwelling place forever.

O Christ, through whom all things were made, we receive Your heavenly witness and believe Your testimonies. You are the Creator, the Source of all life, sent by God to save us from darkness. We love Your radiant light! Cleanse us, we pray, with the blood of Your everlasting covenant. Save us, that we may abide in Your Kingdom, bearing the good works You have prepared us, wrought in the Father’s will.

Father, through Your Word, who was and is God, remember us in Your eternal Kingdom. Keep us in the fold of Your mercy, sealed by the Holy Spirit, that we may never stray from Your presence. Let Your divine life flow through us, that we may reflect Your glory, as all creation bows to the name of Jesus, the Word who reigns forever.

We offer this prayer in the holy and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Creator, trusting in Your promise to hold us fast. May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

The Bread and The Fish

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sunday, June 29, 2025

Topic: The Bread and The Fish

Highlight: "So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish placed on it, and bread." - John 21:9

The gentle lapping of waves, the glow of a charcoal fire, and the inviting aroma of freshly baked bread and perfectly roasted fish. Jesus, the Master Provider, serves up not just a meal but a miracle—twice! In these moments, He reveals His heart to nourish both body and soul. Let's evaluate the two situations;

After a long, fruitless night of fishing, the disciples are weary. Jesus, risen and radiant, calls out, "Cast your net on the other side!" Instantly, their nets overflow with fish, too many to haul in. As they reach the shore, they find Jesus waiting with a fire, fish sizzling, and warm bread ready. "Come and have breakfast," He says, serving them with love. John 21:1-14

The second instance was when a massive crowd gathers, hungry and far from home. The disciples have only five loaves and two fish—barely enough for a small family. Yet, Jesus takes their humble offering, gives thanks, breaks it, and multiplies it. Thousands—five thousand men, plus women and children—eat until they're full, with twelve baskets of leftovers to spare! Matthew 14:13-21

Let us make room in our hearts for Jesus to fill it with His golden, crusty bread, warm from the fire, paired with tender, flaky fish, roasted to perfection. The aroma fills the air, a feast for the senses. Each bite is a taste of Heaven's care, a reminder that Jesus is the Master Chef of our souls, blending provision and love into every moment. Remember He is the bread of Life. How sweet is that life that has Jesus dwelling in it? 

Prayer

Lord Jesus, Im prepared to feast with you my Lord. You are the ultimate Master Chef, nourishing our hearts with Your love and provision. Your bread and fish fill our hearts and bodies with delight. We savor Your goodness, and we're grateful for Your miraculous care. Yummy! AMEN.

Family of Jesus: Moses and Elisha

 

An Emoji Devotional for Wed 7, May 2025

Topic: Family of Jesus: Moses and Elisha

Highlight:

Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Matthew 17:3

In the previous Devotional we learned that Jesus is faster than quantom and supercomputers combined. Jesus runs like software and His name like an hardware. His mission is to give everyone who subscribes to Him abundant and satisfying life. When Jesus, Moses and Elijah were talking, they were talking to display the model of His mission. Moses is the model of deliverance of 400 years slavery to the Israelites while Elijah was the model of ascension after resurrection. Both Moses and Elijah performed notable Miracle, Signs and Wonder. 

While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.”

He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. Matthew 12:46-50

My "Father in heaven" is the powerhouse that governs and control the whole making, mission and assignment of Jesus on earth. His will must be done on earth. Matthew 6:10 says "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven". So whoever does the Father's will are the Brothers and Sisters, and Mother of Jesus Christ the son (software and hardware of God). 

You must understand God that, His will is very simple and easy which is found in Psalms 91:1-2 which states that 'He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.'

Because this is a devotion, please ponder on that verse very well. Those who dwell and abide in a country are citizens by either settlement or by nativity. Before you are permitted to settle in the secret place of the Most High your password or secret question when asked

Question: Who is the Lord

Answer: He is my refuge, my fortress, My God in whom I trust

Are you confident that you are living a life that spells out the three points. My refuge in whom I trust that is, your place of safety. Then my fortress in whom I trust, that is, your defence mechanism and then "My God, My God, My God, in whom I trust.

See in Psalms 25:1-2 Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

When you live by the three principles of Psalms 91:1-2 that subconsciously spells that you certainly dwells in God's secret place and abides under his shadow, then you are the family of our Lord Jesus.

Why you should accept Jesus as your Lord and be His family? The LORD answered Gideon (put your name THERE) and said, “I will be with you, so you can defeat the Midianites as easily as if they were only one man.” Judges 6:16 ERV

There is difference in being born again and being God's family. When you are born again, you register your name, but when you become God's family, you behave in the way that Pleases God. 

Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him Hebrews 6:1 

When you wake up in the morning. Say to yourself:

Listen to me, Judah (your name) and people of Jerusalem (your surname)! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets (Holy Bible) and you will be successful.”

Having faith, have to do with not changing your confidence in your mind, not diverting to the act of unbelief in your head but focusing and concentrating on Jesus that your success is certainly sure. Hebrews 12:2 - Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. 

When you have faith, no one can intimidate or threaten your hope of tomorrow because Jesus Himself is the "Hope of Glory". 

Colossians 1:27

"To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." 

Are you ready to be God's family: First you must be genuinely born again by accepting Jesus Christ in your heart as the only way, truth and life in this world. And secondly confessing your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior come rain come sun till eternity.

Like Moses, Like Elijah you are God's model for salvation and rapture to heaven by becoming Jesus's family when you keep doing God's will on earth. 

If you have follow the step above, then congratulations to you: heaven is sure. Let's pray the prayer to become the family of Our Lord Jesus:

Prayer: Jesus My refuge, Jesus My fortress, My God, My God in you I trust. Remember me in your kingdom today. Hallelujah. Amen. 

Jesus is There like Supercomputer

 An Emoji Devotional for Mon 5th of May, 2025

Topic: Jesus is There  like Supercomputer

Highlight:

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16

Jesus is greater than supercomputer and I hope you know. A supercomputer is a highly advanced computer designed for processing massive datasets and complex calculations at extreme speeds. Jesus is available at your service. Jesus was not only Messiah to battle the devil. He is there, to help you with speed processing, destiny-engineering, understanding of complex life's situations and lots more. The reason why many people get bored and lost their inspiration, they think Jesus has only come to fight unending battles with the devil. That is not only the purpose Jesus came to the world. He came that we, all may have life and have it in abundance.


John 10:10 NLT says "The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life". When we talk about rich and satisfying life: It means a life that has perfect answers to every challenge.

Isaiah 22:22 says: "And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. This means Jesus is key that David uses to open doors of God's attention and make demands that aligns with God's will.

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Which means if you really want to go far and higher in life.  You need Jesus's key to get there. The difference is, self efforts without the key of Jesus will not lead to that taste of satisfaction that touches the sweet glands of heaven.

It's time to ask for the key of Jesus and ask for permission to use it according to God's will.

If you look closely at the matter before you. Then you will see that JESUS is there. All you need do is Turn to Jesus and you will See Him. Revelation 3:20.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus how often I lost my focus and even act blind and deaf to you. Please come show me the way. Grant me your Key - The Jesus's Key and help me to use it according to God's will. Amen. 

Today is Your Day

 

An Emoji devotions for Thursday March 28, 2025

Topic: Today is your day 

Highlight: This is the day which the LORD hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

Jehovah is an all sufficient God. He has made each day and has arranged all possibilities for you in each day. 

In Malachi 3:6 He said "For I am Jehovah, I have not changed,..." which means that God will has planned everything to make sure your day go well. 

It is clear that we sometimes undermine the honor of God's integrity in our lives because we cannot see with our spiritual eyes and we tend to make decisions based on our human wisdom and knowledge. This is why some little things may become scary and risky for us. It is hard to trust what you don't know about. That is why so many people have taken human proven steps which has lead them into error of life.

It is only through the Spirit of God we can do the mysterious things. It is hard for men but With God all these things are simple. God has knows our weakness and he would be pleased with those who surrender to his instructions given in the Bible (Holy scriptures). (Read Joshua 1:8)

Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:37 KJV

God has made today a day of victory for each and everyone of us. The way forward is to accept Jesus to guide us into the right ways of God so that we will not be unaware of God's provision for each and everyone of us.

Do not stay out of God's plan for you.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones. Honour the LORD with thy substance, And with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Proverbs 3:5‭-‬10 KJV


Prayer: God I trust you. please put me in the light of Jesus Christ so that I can live in your daily provisions for me in Jesus name. Amen

The Beauty of When Jesus Remembers You in His Paradise

 

An Emoji Devotions for Wed 26th Feb, 2025

Topic: The Beauty of When Jesus Remembers You in His Paradise

Highlight:
“Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus answered him, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.’”  Luke 23:42-43 

The criminal’s request is a plea for mercy and acknowledgment. He believes in Jesus’ power to save beyond death. In a moment of desperation, hanging on a cross beside the Savior, he dares to hope in a future he cannot see. And Jesus, in His boundless grace, promises him paradise—not tomorrow, not after judgment, but "today". What a breathtaking revelation of mercy!


Imagine the scene: two criminals crucified beside Jesus, the sky darkening, the weight of sin and shame pressing down. One mocks, but the other sees something different—he sees a King, not a condemned man. He doesn’t ask for rescue from the cross; he asks to be "remembered". And in that plea lies the beauty of faith: trusting Jesus’ authority even when all seems lost. 

The word “paradise” here isn’t just a pretty place—it’s the restoration of Eden, the presence of God, a promise of eternal peace. Revelation 2:7 ties it to the “tree of life,” a symbol of unending fellowship with the Creator. The criminal, who deserved death, is granted life—not because of his works, but because of his faith in the One who overcomes death. 

Key Points About the Blessings of Paradise:

Restoration:

Paradise is where the broken are made whole. Revelation 21:4 paints it vividly: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” The criminal’s past, his guilt, his scars—all erased in the light of Jesus’ promise. 

Presence:
To be with Jesus in paradise is to dwell with Him forever. John 14:3 says, “I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” It’s not just a location; it’s a relationship—intimate, eternal, unshakable. 

Victory:
The criminal’s story shows that paradise is for the undeserving who trust in Jesus. Romans 5:8 reminds us, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” His plea wasn’t too late; Jesus’ mercy is never out of reach. 

Luke 23:43 is a lifeline thrown to humanity: “Today you will be with me.” Not a distant hope, but an immediate assurance. The beauty lies in this: Jesus remembers us in our lowest moments and lifts us to His highest glory. The cross becomes a gateway to paradise, where the thief—and all who believe—find a home. 

Think of it—paradise isn’t earned; it’s gifted. The criminal had no time to reform, no deeds to offer, yet Jesus saw his heart. That’s the beauty of it: a Savior who remembers the forgotten, who turns a dying whisper into an eternal welcome. 

Prayer:
Merciful Jesus, King of paradise, thank You for remembering me right now. Open my eyes to the beauty of Your grace that promises me a place with You. Strengthen my faith to trust You, even in my darkest hours, and let me rest in the hope of paradise where all is made new. Amen.  

A Glimpse of God's Plan: Job and Jesus

 

An Emoji Devotional for Wed, 12 Feb 2025

Topic: A Glimpse of God's Plan: Job and Jesus

Highlight :

"Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." - Job 1:21

In the book of Job, we see a glimpse of God's plan of salvation being worked out. Job, a righteous and blameless man, was tested by Satan, who sought to break his faith and integrity. Despite the trials and tribulations he faced, Job remained faithful, and his story foreshadows the concept of atonement and salvation.

God's Heart for Intercessors
God's conversation with Satan about Job reveals His heart for those who intercede for others. Job's selflessness and understanding of intercessory prayer, demonstrated through his sacrifices for his children, caught God's attention. This highlights God's love for those who passionately care for others, as seen in Abel's first fruits offering and Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac.

In a remarkable turn of events, God instructed Job to pray for his friends, who had wrongly accused him (Job 42:8). God acknowledged Job as His servant and honored his prayer, saying, "My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer." This profound moment reveals Job's priestly role, as his prayers became a means of reconciliation and restoration for others.

Similarly, Jesus, our High Priest, interceded for His disciples and all who would believe in Him (John 17:1-26). His prayers demonstrated His deep love and care for humanity, and His sacrifice provided the ultimate means of reconciliation and restoration.

Key Takeaways
1. Job as a prototype of the Savior: Job's willingness to offer sacrifices on behalf of his children foreshadows the concept of atonement and salvation.

2. God's heart for intercessors: God loves those who intercede for others, as seen in Job's selflessness and understanding of intercessory prayer.

3. The power of intercessory prayer_: Job's prayer for his friends and Jesus' prayers for humanity demonstrate the transformative power of intercessory prayer.

Application
As we reflect on Job's story and Jesus' sacrifice, let us strive to be perfect worshippers of God. May we follow Job's example of selflessness and intercessory prayer, and may we worship God with a pure heart, just as Jesus did.

Bible Verses for Further Reflection
- Job 1:1-5
- Job 42:1-10
- John 17:1-26
- Revelation 12:7-10

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for revealing Your plan of salvation through the stories of Job and Jesus. Help us to understand the importance of intercessory prayer and to follow Job's example of selflessness and care for others.

May we be perfect worshippers of God, offering our lives as a sacrifice of praise and worship to You. May we be encouraged by Jesus' perfect sacrifice and resurrection, and may we live in the assurance of our salvation through Him.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

The Unseen Forces At Work

 

🕊️ An Emoji Devotional for Tue 11th February 2025

Topic: The Unseen Forces at Work

Highlight: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6:12

In the chronicles of spiritual politics, there are unseen forces at work. These forces are not physical, but spiritual. They are not visible to the naked eye, but they are real.

As believers, we need to understand that our struggles are not just against human opponents, but against spiritual forces of darkness. These forces seek to influence human decisions, shape cultural narratives, and undermine God's plans.

However, we are not powerless against these forces. We have been given spiritual armor to withstand their attacks (Ephesians 6:13-18). We have the power of prayer to resist their influence (Ephesians 6:18). And we have the assurance of God's sovereignty to trust in His ultimate victory (Psalm 103:19).

As we navigate the complexities of spiritual politics, let's remember that we are not alone. We are part of a larger spiritual battle, and we have a crucial role to play.

Reflection questions:

- Am I aware of the unseen forces at work in my life and in the world around me?
- How can I use my spiritual armor to resist the attacks of darkness?
- What role can I play in the spiritual battle, and how can I pray effectively for God's victory?

As Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:3 remind us, Jesus holds the world together. It's a wise decision to accept Jesus into our lives. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, this is the opportunity. Invite Him to come into your life, to be your Lord and Savior, and to shield you from evil.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, open my eyes to the unseen forces at work in the world. Give me the wisdom to recognize the spiritual battles I face, and the courage to resist the attacks of darkness. May I be a faithful soldier in Your army, praying and fighting for Your victory. Ame

Certificate of Forgiveness

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sun 9th February 2025

Topic: Certificate of Forgiveness

Highlight:

Jesus said, ‘If your Christian friend has done something wrong against you, you must go and speak to him. When you are alone with him, tell him what he has done that is wrong. He may agree with what you say. If he does, then you can call him your friend again. But maybe he does not want to listen to you. Then take one or two other people with you to speak to him. They will then know what wrong things your friend has done. Remember what the Bible says: “There must be two or three people to say certainly that another person has done something wrong. Two or three people must agree what has happened.”  If your friend still will not agree that he has done something wrong, then go and tell the church leaders. If he does not agree with the leaders, stop being his friend. He is like somebody who refuses to obey God.
Matthew 15:17-18


The certificate of Forgiveness is what will be required before your name is even looked up in the lamb book of life. Our Lord is asking us to make sure we seek every means to get that certificate before we excommunicate those who have wronged us in such a way that, even if they do not want to listen to us when we tell about what offense they'd committed we should still press forward to make sure they sign the contract of Forgiveness through resolution between the both of us. Forgiveness is in two ways. You may say in your heart that someone has wronged you whereas it was you who misunderstood the whole point. That's why Jesus emphasizes the importance of going to the person, talking to them, and clearing up any misunderstandings.

The second way is when someone has genuinely wronged you. Even then, Jesus teaches us to forgive, not for the other person's sake, but for ours. Unforgiveness can weigh us down, causing bitterness and resentment to take root.

The "certificate of forgiveness" is not a physical document, but a spiritual one. It's the assurance that we've done our part to reconcile with others and forgive those who've wronged us. When we stand before God, this certificate will be required, not as a condition for salvation, but as evidence of our obedience to Jesus' teachings.

As we reflect on this passage, let's ask ourselves:

- Is there someone I need to forgive or reconcile with?
- Am I holding onto unforgiveness or bitterness?
- What steps can I take today to seek forgiveness and reconciliation?

Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to understand the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation. Give me the courage to take the first step towards healing and restoration. May I be a reflection of your love and mercy to those around me. Amen.

Remember Martha and Mary okay?

 

An Emoji Devotions for Wed, 29 January 2025

Topic: Remember Martha and Mary okay?

Highlight:

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”  “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Our Lord does not want Mary to be worried about the food and hospitality more than the most important event which is the expository teaching of the word. Martha is a good woman and wants to display top notch hospitality to entertain the guest with a five star buffet. She must have been planning on this special day to entertain The Master with one of the best top class cuisine and give Jesus a long lasting memory. To do the whole thing she needs the help of Mary. But Mary seems to be someone with high taste for wisdom. She will be needing the wisdom for her life's journey. She was ready for wisdom and direction. She wants perception into how her journey in life and afterlife will play and she knew that only Jesus is the answer. Earlier than expected Jesus began to speak Mary was glued to her seat. Martha was calling and calling for Mary's support because she must have planned all the decoration and event before Jesus arrived so it made her worried that Mary might have sabotage her plan by sitting right there at Jesus feet. "Lord don't you care that my sister left me to do all the work by myself? Talk to her.

But Jesus understood that both things are good but the best is what Mary is doing and it will last forever with her but see what you Martha is doing is also good but they are temporal and have no life giving capabilities.

Lets dive into how many times we have left our praying and worship time, how many times we rush out of our house without praying, how many times we rush our meal without giving thanks, how many times we think we are okay pursuing our goals without seeking God's approval. Even in the church, how many times we sing and preach a sermon by leaving out valuable words of God. Let us remember Martha and Mary today.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

1 Thessalonians 5:17 says "Never stop Praying" and the next verse said "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

Have small of Martha but have lots of Mary. In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, Ephesians 4:26; Do not overindulge in so many things and forget the most important spiritual lifting things from the Lord. Remember that our Lord Himself testified that those lifting things can never be taken away from us. They become our heritage forever.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Prayer: Lord Jesus I remember Martha and Mary today. I submit my ambition at your feet. Give me the eternal heritage that will stay with me forever in Jesus name. Amen

Blue-Two

Emoji Devotions for Thu, Jan 23, 2025

Topic: Blue-Two

Highlights: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor." Ecclesiastes 4:9

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life? Like a puzzle piece that's yet to be found? That's because God designed us to thrive in pairs, to find our "Blue-Two" – that special someone who completes us.

God values pairs, as seen in His creation:

- "And the Lord God said, 'It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.'" Genesis 2:18

- Blue signifies trust, loyalty, and wisdom (Proverbs 3:3-4, "Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart...".

Just as Bluetooth connects devices, please do not connect anyhow. we should only connect with God in prayer and desire, seeking our Blue Two in everyday life. Matthew 6:33 -Seek ye first the Kingdom of God...

For those who believe in God and are truly ready to obey Him. Remember that God requires pairs, as seen in Mark 6:7;

- "And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two..." Mark 6:7

Even our bodies are designed in pairs: two hands, two eyes, two ears, two legs. This design reflects God's intention for us to thrive in pairs.

Remember there are times to be alone and there are times to function in pairs. But when you do, make sure you turn on the Holy blue light as found 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

To connect our Blue-Two Let us NOT deceive ourselves and deal with it the way God approved it.

Prayer:

God almighty, prepare my heart to receive my Blue Two. Help me to trust in Your plan and timing. Align me with Your will, and guide me to the one who completes me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Spark of Faith: Unleashing the Divine Power Within

 

Emoji Devotions for Mon, 13th Jan 2025

Topic: Spark of Faith: Unleashing the Divine Power Within

Highlight:

And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!”

But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”

And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

Luke 8:45-47

A desperate woman, fueled by faith, reached out to touch Jesus' garment. Amidst the crowded chaos, Jesus sensed the spark of faith, asking, "Who touched me?"

As we explore the parallels between lightning and spiritual phenomena, let's ignite our faith with these powerful analogies:

1. *Electricity: Anointing Power* - Acts 1:8
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you..."

2. *Heat: Refining Fire* - Malachi 3:2
"...for He is like a refiner’s fire..."

3. *Thunder: Voice of God* - Ezekiel 43:2
"And the voice of the Lord was like the sound of many waters..."

4. *Light: Spiritual Illumination* - 1 John 1:5
"...God is light and in Him is no darkness at all."

5. *Radiation: Penetrating Discernment* - Hebrews 4:12
"...for the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword...".

As we tap into these divine elements, we'll experience the spark of faith that ignites our lives, transforming us into powerful vessels of God's presence, power, and revelation.

Reflection
What spark of faith can you ignite today? Where do you need God's power, purification, voice, light, or discernment to manifest in your life?

Prayer: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, Ignite my life with your presence, power and revelation in Jesus name.
