Don't Gamble with God's Kindness

An Emoji Devotions for Sun July 25 2021

Topic: Don't Gamble with God's Kindness

Highlight: 

Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. James 1:6b-7

God and money are like different masters. You cannot work for both of them.

Matthew 6:24b

Money cannot buy things that God can give. People sometimes get quite angry and sad because they lack money but money do not go to people because of their sad face. Research shows that people who owe others money may become very sad once they are unable to repay loan but the show of sad face does not change the agreement terms. When we honor God who could give surplus of money without gambling with our intention, He will raise help in times of trouble. 

While at the other hand some people will display honor to God when they lack money but once they become rich, they easily misbehave towards God. King Saul was a perfect example who God enthroned as King over Isreal but went wayward and in the end lost His kingdom to another for it.  1 Samuel 9 -26

"but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced." Mark 4:19

God frowns at people who gamble with his kindness. We are supposed to keep serving God always either in bad times or in good times. Keep trusting in God and focus on what He only can do. There are many things that money cannot buy. Money cannot buy peace of mind, money cannot buy loyalty and true love. It is "The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it."

From now on DO NOT GAMBLE WITH THE LORDS KINDNESS. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:31

If you are reading this and you are not yet born again. This is the time to make the right decision to give your life to Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus we can have right relationship with God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, now is the time I'm telling you with my whole heart that I will serve you and be loyal to you. Please help me and deliver me from temptations of bowing to worship Money. I trust you are more than able to provide for all my needs. So help me Lord in your name I pray. 

bigger than the Sun

An Emoji Devotions for Fri July 23rd, 2021

Topic: bigger than the Sun

Highlight: ....for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Isaiah 60:19

When I look and see the big and magnificent buildings in cities. I see what money can do and my heart skip and tell me right now that God is bigger than all of them. When you are stunned at hearing that someone very rich is sitting close to you begin to look how bigger God is sitting inside of you. The sun shines bright to lighten up the world. But there is a light bigger than the Sun and all other lights combine. That light is Jesus the Son of God

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12

Whatever you are aiming at in this life, know that God has already done it somewhere for someone in this world. God who is bigger than the Sun is a bigger light who has promised to shine bright on you forever. If you truly trust God that He is truly your light, you will see everything from the bigger picture of the bigger light of God. 

Look unto Jesus today.

Prayer: Jesus the light of life. Please Enable me to see clearly with your everlasting light. In Jesus name Amen

Waves of Babylon

An Emoji Devotions for Wed 21 July 2021

Topic: Waves of Babylon

Highlight:

Then I heard another voice from heaven shout, “My people, you must escape from Babylon. Don't take part in her sins and share her punishment.

Revelation 18:4 CEVDCI

At one point we were all surrounded by the Babylonian waves. It is what we see around us every day. Have you ever had noises coming from somewhere and you asked someone 'What is that noise? And they answered "That noise is coming from  Babylon". While you are still wondering what is Babylon? Then someone answered - "yes Babylon is the city of the fallen people. it is a place where demons live. a home for every dirty spirit . A home for every dirty bird. A home for every dirty animal which people hate.  Prostitutes makes men become drunk in Babylon. Babylon gives people enough space to have sex in a wrong way. Like this, it has caused people from every country to turn away from God. Even kings and Presidents who rule on the earth have chosen the Babylonian style. The cultist of Babylon has exchanged expensive things from the people on earth. As a result, the Babylonian has become rich by enticing people with their lifestyles.’

 Revelation 18:2‭-‬3 

The waves coming from Babylon is like  sounds of people partying life away. Today Everyone wants to party and get entertained in the Babylonian style. Even on camera, They fight for money in Babylon, they set themselves nude in Babylon, they sing wild songs in Babylon. The Babylonian don't play by the rules. All they want is money and drinks, smokes, drugs, sex everyday in Babylon. They upload it on the media for all to see and they pay celebrities money to show people the Babylonian way of life.

There are guns and blood sheds in Babylon - The prostitutes and filth stay in Babylon. They have done very bad things. Their sins have reached as high as heaven . Just like the days of Sodom - God knows about all the wrong things that they do in Babylon.’

Do you think God is not watching?

Revelation 18:4 says "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

 

Some Father, mother and children even a whole family have died in Babylon and some are dying because they are following the trending waves of Babylon. There is Babylon on every social media websites. On mobile phones, radio, computer and tv. If you are still alive and you are living in the Babylonian style, God is asking you to come out now. 

Jesus Christ is saying "Come unto me, all you that are tired and are tied with heavy burden (of Babylon), and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28 

Don't be deceived, Jesus is the only solution. Babylon is a home of devil - a punisher while Jesus is a saviour who wants you to be with him in heaven. Choose wisely today in everything you do and don't get used to waves of Babylon blowing in everyone's mind. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior today.

Prayer: God please keep me on your side till the end. Let your Holy Spirit guide and protect me from waves of Babylon the fallen. In Jesus name. Amen.

Oil Of Joy

An Emoji Devotions for Mon 19th July, 2021

Topic: The oil of joy

Highlight: 

The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ Matthew 25:8

People need oil to function. But there is a special oil called the oil of joy. Nehemiah 8:10 - "Nehemiah told the people to eat special food and to drink sweet drinks. Nehemiah also told the people to give food and drink to those who had none. He told the people that they should not be sad. They should not be sad because they were giving pleasure to God. This would make them strong. The joy of the Lord is your strength.

When there is Joy in your life, you will be strong. But Joy is one of the special features of the Holy Spirit. It is a sign that you have the Holy Spirit and that is why is mentioned immediately after Love in the Fruits of the Spirit Galatians 5:22 - They are the first three things that work together to birth the rest of the Fruits. When love is mixed together with joy and peace balance. yummy delicious! And once you have the first three you should have the rest. 

In the arrangements of the Fruits of the Spirit Love is followed by Joy and Peace. Joy is sitting in between Love and Peace. Think about it. This is not the type of joy derived from a grove party or by winning a lottery. It's not yoga mantra kind of joy that only last for a moment of pose. It is the Joy that has Love and Peace on both sides. The joy that comes from being born again. Even the worldly people are coming to realized that Happiness is Free when they see a joyous believer in Christ. They could not just figure out that such Joy comes through salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. We hope they believe and accept it before it's too late.

You have that Joy of salvation because You have received a new life. It is not people that gave you this new life so therefore no matter what people say and do will not take your joy away. You know there's a human kind of life which does not continue for ever. You are not living as a man, you are living as Christian unto God. Once you do something that offends people, they will change against you. But God's new life does not come to an end and the joy that comes with it does not come to an end too. So this makes you happy and the happiness cannot be controlled by anyone. Congratulations! You have been born again into a new life, because you believed God's message - you should be happy. That message continues to be true and it does not change.

1 Peter 1:23 

As from now, no one can control my joy in Christ and if anyone ask me what is the source of my joy. I will tell them it is God that gives me joy. I will lead them to salvation of Jesus Christ so that they too will all have Joy in full. 

It is not too late to give your life back to God. Accept Jesus as the truth you need to find your way to God and you will receive Eternal life. Close your eyes and believe in Jesus Christ and pray in His name to God to give you His Holy Spirit. Do not do things the old way. Learn God's way by reading A Holy Bible each day and you enjoy the Joy of God.

Isaiah 61:3 - To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord , that He may be glorified.”

Prayer: O Lord I want you to be glorified in my life. Please give me the irreplaceable joy of Holy Spirit that cannot be exchanged for anything else in this world in Jesus name. Amen. 

Milky Meek

 

An Emoji Devotions For Sat 17th July

Topic: Milky Meek

Highlight: 

God blesses those people who are humble. The earth will belong to them!

Matthew 5:5 

When you reach the land flowing with milk and honey as promised by God in Exodus 3:17 then you would have turned into the Milky Meek because the earth belongs to the humble person. Satan loses its powerful battles against humble people. A meek person is an humble person who conquers all and takes all. 

 In fact, God treats us with even greater kindness, just as the Scriptures say, “God opposes everyone who is proud, but he blesses all who are humble with undeserved grace.”

James 4:6 

We are talking about Humility to God which is beyond gentleman act but being submissive to the will of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a very humble person while on earth. In His prayers "Thy will be done on earth as it is heaven" shows that He will obey God's will with willingness of heart in both sides. What about you? 

The proud are always doing things in their own ways which somehow seems right but in the end leads to their destruction. A proud person cannot face the devil in life's experience because they do not want to submit to the leadership of God. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 yet "God blesses those who are humble (meek), for they will inherit the whole earth. Matthew 5:5

The great people of all time are humble people. Charles G Finney, John Wesley, Enoch Adeboye, Kenneth Copeland are all humble people. God resists the proud. It is what it is that only the meek person will live long to inherit the whole earth. This only can happen by being saved through the grace of confessing and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. There's no other way. A humble person will rather submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and commit to do His will. 

"He will protect his faithful ones, but the wicked will disappear in darkness. No one will succeed by strength alone." 1 Samuel 2:9

Prayer: God please bless me with your mercy and fill me with meekness and humbleness that delights your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name Amen.

There's a River

 

An Emoji Devotions for Thu 15th July 2021

Topic: There's a river

Highlight: 

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. Psalms 46:4

I do hear people say things like " there is a restaurant over there, they have delicious delicacies big people do go there to eat." "There is a very big dog in that house it can bark woof woof". How many of you have heard about people using something to describe a place. Something like there is a white house with black gate in the entrance of that street. The river, flowing calmly and smoothly along in the city of the Lord as stated in our highlighted verse, may be only a symbol of the peace and blessing of the Divine presence. As a Christian, you should give room to that river of Divine presence to flow through you.  Do you carry divine presence of God with you? Do you know that the divine presence of God makes the heaven glad about you? Do you know that if you carry divine presence the angels will hover around you like an orbit even though you do not see them. When you carry divine presence of God, you carry life of God, you carry joy and you carry the map of a hopeful destiny with you. 

"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand" Psalm 16:11

The Holy Spirit is the divine presence of God. He is a helper that protects and guides his own. If you don't genuinely accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, you cannot have the Holy Spirit divine presence with you. Be born again today. The old sinful way of life cannot help but destroys. It is the divine presence that gives us joy and success. 

Never stop reading the Bible and keep praying always. It is where you will find the divine presence of God. If you obey Jesus completely, you will have good success. Joshua 1:8.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. It is the Holy Spirit divine presence of the most High God. Choose Him today so that your tomorrow will be filled with joy forever. Amen

Prayer: Holy Spirit please come and show me the way to genuine salvation of your divine presence in Jesus name. Amen
