And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run. This vision-message is a witness pointing to what’s coming. It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait! And it doesn’t lie. If it seems slow in coming, wait. It’s on its way. It will come right on time.

Habakkuk 2:2‭-‬3 MSG

When you forget where exactly you were heading and decide to take another route it means you did not write down the vision God gave you. God gave you a vision which will make you great and you must not joke with it. When you did not write down the vision people could sway you with words of doubts. And if you write it down, God said make.it plain in bold letters so that you will run with it. Do you remember the vision? Move on with it that's what God says. Do not let People you know question your vision because they feel like it's too deep or out of scope. Learn and ask God to help you fulfill it. Write it in a bold words and paste it where you will see it everyday. Do not miss the opportunity in front of you because you feel like postponing your vision because 

“But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.

Matthew 24:36 

Funny enough, people who were inspired by your vision but who do not have same vision with you may seize the opportunity while you are sitting down thinking of how to quit.

But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Though it tarries, wait patiently until it arrives because God says it will arrive. It will definitely arrive. 

Prayer: Father help me to stay safe to remain saved in the end. Help me to keep to the vision you gave me and run with it until I arrive to the goals you aimed for me. Please help me Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

“Staying with it—that’s what God requires. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry, and you’ll be saved.

“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.

When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”

Emotions may rise, but will never be able to calculate the amount of faith needed to do the impossible. Leave Yourself with Jesus now.

Who will part the red sea, who will make the new heavens and the new earths, who will raise the dead and make them live and who will opened the eyes of the blind again and again? It is Jesus the will maker.

Let the water splash upon your face, let the grass sprinkle with dew, if you hold on to the strength of the one who could forgive sins. You will be saved. Leave Yourself with Jesus.

Prayer: Jesus I leave myself and my loved ones with you. Thank you father because we are safe and secure in your loving hands.

Jump Jesus Superman

 

An Emoji Devotional for Fri 24th Sept, 2021

Topic: Jump Jesus Superman 

Highlights: 

For the second test the Devil took him to the Holy City. He sat him on top of the Temple and said, “Since you are God’s Son, jump.” The Devil goaded him by quoting Psalm 91: “He has placed you in the care of angels. They will catch you so that you won’t so much as stub your toe on a stone.”

Matthew 4:5‭-‬6 

You are in the church feeling the worship songs and suddenly a thought comes into you "Jump Jesus Superman! this is your father's house" and suddenly you begin to jump because you believe that in your father's house are many mansions...yeah! it feels good right?

But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: John 4:23

When you hear "Jump" what should first come to your mind is to remember the test of our Lord Jesus when the devil took him to top of the temple and quote Psalms 91 to Him that angels will catch him when he jumps. Did Jesus Jump?

“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.

Matthew 6:34 

When any voice asks you to 'jump' first do what Jesus did "Jesus countered with another citation from Deuteronomy: “Don’t you dare test the Lord your God.”

Matthew 4:7 

My dear friends, don’t believe everything you hear. Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you. Not everyone who talks about God comes from God. There are a lot of lying preachers loose in the world.

1 John 4:1

May the Lord give us wisdom and power in Christ Jesus name. Amen. 

Prayer: Father Lord, please lead me to victory over evil test in Jesus Christ name. Amen

An Emoji Devotions for Wed 22, September 2021

Topic: It is Time for Family and Friends

Highlights: 

But Jesus would not let him. Instead, he said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how good he has been to you.”

Mark 5:19 

Someone got delivered from mobs of evil Spirit and would have loved to go with Jesus. He begged actually but he had "Hey man, go home to your family and friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you". Before he became a mad man, he had family and friends who had done their best to see him recover. They must have been the ones to tie him down with ropes and chains but he broke the chains and snap the ropes. Jesus knew that the first set of people to be very happy about the recovery of their psycho brother is his family. The Lord wants him to go home first and tell them what the Lord has done so as to share joy and happiness around his community.

Dear reader, what has the Lord done for you? The Facebook, Twitter and other social media today are been used to find followers and subscribers. Only few uses these platform to really share stories that can bring joy and happiness from the Lord. There is a way you will share your story and it will bring Joy and happiness to those around you. This is the kind of active service the Lord commands.

Mark 5:20 

I believe that the man followed the instructions of Christ. He did not tell other stories except about what the Lord has done for him. It may sound too simple but when we really tell people what the Lord has done for us. They will spread and share the good news to than ten cities of the world beyond our expectations. Give it a try. Spread the good news of joy and happiness to your friends today.

Prayer: Lord give me the right words that will testify about you in my life and that will bring joy and happiness to my family and friends in Jesus name. Amen.

You Can Not Escape Jesus

 

An Emoji Devotional for Mon, Sept 20, 2021

Topic: You Can Not Escape Jesus

Highlights:

“Lord, who are you?” I asked. He said to me, “I am Jesus from Nazareth. And you are fighting against me.”

Acts 22:8 

Thousands walking across the streets and thousands driving along the traffic. We all chase different things. On our pathways, we met Jesus. How did you hear about Jesus? It is certain that some would have met Him in Church while some listened to their radio and heard about Him. There is one simple truth "No one on earth will escape Jesus including you". So, have you accepted him yet or you are still delaying your salvation. It is better now than later because at times 'delay is evil'. 

Jesus once said in Matthew 19:29‭-‬30 

"Some people have left their home. Or they may have left their brothers or sisters. Or they may have left their mother or their father. Or they may have left their wife or their children or their fields. They have done that because of me. God will give those people many more things than they have left behind, even 100 times more! And after they die, they will live for ever with God. But many people who are very important now will become the least important. And many people who are not important now will become very important then.’"

The good news is "anyone who encountered Jesus, accepted him as their Lord and savior and walked in His commands never regrets such decisions".

If you are proving stubborn and you did not want to accept Jesus, someday you would wish you have made a decision very long time ago and accepted Him as your Saviour. It is never too late. Jesus is still able to turn nothing into something. He can restore wasted years provided you quickly make your choice before you get carried away. 

No one, I said, No one, can escape Jesus including you. What to do is to accept Jesus as your Lord today, repent of your bad ways and ask Him to forgive your sins and be your wise protector from today. If you have already been saved, please don't go back to a sinful life because judgement is around the corner waiting for who will misbehave. 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8

Prayer: Lord Jesus be my life, be my breath and my everything. If I have wronged you please forgive me. I accept that you are the boss and I will always love you forever. Let your grace be with me In your name I pray. Amen
