Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of glory shall come in. Psalm 24:7 KJV

But the time is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. In fact, that time is now here. And these are the kind of people the Father wants to be his worshipers. John 4:23 

Everything is going to change in a twinkling of an eye. You will realize that your life has changed. Stay at the beautiful gate for the king of glory is coming. He is coming to take away your lameness. He is coming to deliver you from poverty. You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. You know that he gave up his heavenly riches for you. Remember that God gave up everything so that you could be richly blessed. He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things.

There was an agreement in heaven between God, Jesus Christ and all the angels to bless you. That is why God gave up Jesus Christ and Jesus gave up His heavenly riches to obey God's order. The angels succumb to this order so that you and I can be richly blessed.

God is dependable: Trust Him

 

An Emoji Devotions for Wed March 9 , 2021

Topic: God is dependable; Trust Him

Highlight:

“Lord GOD, with your great power you made the earth and the sky. There is nothing too hard for you to do. You are loyal and kind to thousands of people, but you also bring punishment to children for their fathers’ sins. Great and powerful God, your name is the Lord All-Powerful. You plan and do great things. You see everything that people do. You give a reward to those who do good things, and you punish those who do bad things—you give them what they deserve. You have been doing powerful miracles in the land of Egypt until now, in Israel and elsewhere. You are the one who made yourself as famous as you are today. You used powerful miracles and brought your people Israel out of Egypt. You used your own powerful hand to do this. Your power was amazing!

Jeremiah 32:17‭-‬21 ERV

Whatever you aspire to be in life, it is only God that can take you there in reality. As different as reality is when compared to imaginations, God knows all the technology and science of bringing great things to reality. Have you ever wondered if God has been good to you? A song lyrics says:

O Lord my God,

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all

The works Thy Hand hath made,

I see the stars,

I hear the mighty thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout

The universe displayed,

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I hear the birds

Sing sweetly in the trees,

When I look down

From lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook

And feel the gentle breeze,

Then sings my soul,

My Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art!

How great Thou art!

In Jeremiah 32:33-34 God was talking to Jeremiah: He said :

“They should have come to me for help, but they turned their backs to me. I tried to teach them again and again, but they would not listen to me. I tried to correct them, but they would not listen. They have made their idols, and I hate those idols. They put their idols in the Temple that is called by my name, so they made my Temple ‘dirty.’

Jeremiah 32:33‭-‬34 ERV

When we walk with the Lord 

In the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way;

While we do His good will,

He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey,

For there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

But to trust and obey.

God wants a relationship. He wants a Father and child interaction. It's not weird to tell God about things happening and ask him to show you the way. After all He is wiser and the all powerful God. 

Put God first, when you wake up and talk to Him first and before you sleep. Show your appreciation. God will do big things in the lives of people who honor him. God has promised to do good things for His children.

What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need.

Matthew 6:33 ERV

Prayer: Peace loving God of Miracles, Signs and Wonders. I cling to you for mercy. I love you and will always respect you. Please take good care of me as you always do. I will always behave myself in front to you by your grace through Jesus Christ: I will show respect to you that you are my only source of strength and my dependable companion. So Help me God.  In Jesus name. Amen

You are Everything to me

The Emojis Devotional for Wed, Mar 2, 2022

Topic: You are everything to me

Highlight: 

My soul thirsts for the living God. When can I go to meet with him?

Psalms 42:2 ERV

God is the source of my life. I can't just live without seeing Him being worshipped in His house. When I hear people singing to God. It makes me happy. He is like a fountain of living water to me. It is an offense when if I did not worship God first after waking up in the morning. Yes, God loved me so much that he gave his only Son, so that as I believe in him, I would not be lost but have eternal life.

John 3:16. I am glad to be lost in His love. It is a blessing to wake up on a Sunday morning to rush and not be late for church. My heart goes to to the people who are facing turbulent time in war because they were displaced from worshipping God in a dedicated place of worship. I pray that God will restore peace to their land again. 

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But anyone who drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give people will be like a spring flowing inside them. It will bring them eternal life.” John 4:13‭-‬14 

It is sweet to drink from Jesus.

We will not the same again, since we have met Him. 

Prayer: Let me Love you my Lord Jesus, You are my fountain of life. I love you living in me. Amen. 

Foreign Troops Invasion at Your Spirit Border

 

An Emojis Devotional for Thu Feb 24, 2022

Topic: Foreign Troops Invasion at Your Spirit Border

Highlights: 

Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:12 ERV

Why the fight? The spiritual powers of evil want to take over all territories around the world. They need you to join the world darkness coalition - so they fight those who resist. Some are not resisting the call into darkness. They are already joining the troops of evil whether knowingly or unknowingly.

There are billions of porn videos, billions of alcoholic bottles, trillions of dopamine drugs and cocaine, hundreds of millions of weeds, Marijuana and lethal weapon to cause wrecking havoc by the spiritual power of evil in heavenly places. They are the foreign troops with the most calculative move ever known and ever seen.

They are deploying secret agents in men into the porn industries to do porn videos so that uniformed people can watch and get bound in the Spirit. They are called sexual immorality. They have deployed bandits and terrorist and equipped them with drugs and alcoholic substance to destroy lives. The powers of this world's darkness are invading every lives with an assignment which they must obey either consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes there are sanctions from the powers of darkness over many lives to do the damage to the society without option to opt out because there are no options either. 

Some people's conscience have been kidnapped because of power and acquisitions of more power. You think about your life and what battle you are fighting right now. If your assignment in life is for a good cause remember you will also have to fight with the spiritual powers of darkness invading every homes and family.

 

 Already God declared "let there be light" and Jesus was that light. Jesus is the only prominent force that can combat the authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. He is coming. But His Spirit is around for anyone, any man and woman or children, adult and youth who will call on His name. But you cannot call on Jesus name if His Spirit is not dwelling in you. Giving your life to Christ will help out of the order or the Troops of the enemy. The troop of God will come and take over your territory even when you are sleeping. No human power can fight this war. It is a big war."...Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Act 16:31

Prayer: Lord Jesus the soon coming King. I surrender my life to you. Keep me safe from the battles with Spiritual Powers evil through your grace. Amen

Is Saul Among the Prophets?

An Emoji devotions for Sunday Feb 20, 2022

Topic: Is Saul Among the Prophets?

Highlight: When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 1 Samuel 10:11

And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Samuel 19:24 KJV

.The words, "What is this that is come unto the son of Kish?" seem to tell us that the life hitherto led by Saul was a life very different in all respects to the life led by the sons of the prophets in their schools. It need not be assumed that the youth and early manhood of the future king had been wild and dissolute, but simply that the way of life had been rough and uncultured--a life spent in what we should call "country pursuits," in contradistinction to the pursuit of knowledge and of higher acquirements.

The Spirit of God want to house the body and soul of King Saul but his pursuit of self interest will not allow to put on his best behavior. Because of this attitude, King Saul could not wait to obey God's command in 1 Samuel 10:8

"Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.”

These seven days were evidently to teach Saul patience and dependence upon God. He waited the seven days, but just barely. As soon as the week was up, he offered the sacrifice on his own, refusing to wait any longer for Samuel. Saul showed a variety of weaknesses that made him unfit to be king, including impatience and self-reliance. His offering showed that he did not want to work together with higher authority because he assumed that his Kingdom would last forever. He was even trying to secure this kingdom by killing David who have been of help to him. 

King Saul later lost his Kingdom and power.

You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. 1 Samuel 13:13

DO NOT DO FOOLISH THING BY DISOBEYING GOD. God is greater and His command must be obeyed at all cost.

I may have the gift of prophecy, I may understand all secrets and know everything there is to know, and I may have faith so great that I can move mountains. But even with all this, if I don’t obey God's command, I am nothing.

Prayer: Father God please give me smooth qualities I need to be the man of your heart in Jesus name.

When Jesus Smiles

 An Emoji Devotional for  Sat Feb 19, 2021

Topic: When Jesus Smiles 

Highlights: “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,"Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” John 8:11

Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. Zechariah 4:6

When you think you have been betrayed and condemned from within and it seems nothing is working again. When the forces of life are dragging you out for your actions calling for judgement on you. This woman was caught in adultery, that man did not wake up early, that boy did not do his homework and that girl is late for school. They brought you out. Satan was saying let us stone her, depression is calling, negative thoughts too did not stop ringing in your heart. Do not be afraid - Jesus is there in Spirit in the midst of your situation. 

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:17 - KJV

Do not conclude it is over because Jesus is smiling at you. All you need is to look up to Jesus and you will realize that all your accusers are gone for good. These are the words of the Holy One, the True One, He who has the key [to the house] of David, He who opens and no one will [be able to] shut, and He who shuts and no one opens: At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail.

In the midst of desperation, weakness, depression, Look around for Jesus. He is smiling at you because he will set you free. He will never condemn you. Go and be free and leave your life of sin. 

It is by grace. It is a gift of God. Believe in Jesus today

Prayer: Lord Jesus please plead my cause - Fight my battles for me and smile on me today.
