Thursday, October 5th, 2023 Devotional. Topic: Impatience end Text: Exodus 32:1, 35.  " Exod 32:1 When Moses failed to come back down the mountain right away, the people went to Aaron. "Look," they said, "make us some gods who can lead us. This man Moses, who brought us here from Egypt, has disappeared. We don't know what has happened to him." (NLT)"         "Exod 32:35 And the LORD sent a great plague upon the people because they had worshiped the calf Aaron had made. (NLT)" How many Christians today are not like the Israelites in the verses above? In everything, you have to thread patiently. Patience can save you from a lot of trouble, mistakes, and shame. We all know that God is good, His nature is righteousness. A God of love that loves so genuinely.  When He orders our steps as His children and tells us what to do and what way to go, how many of us yield to Him, or how many of us don't end up seeking alternative means to ...

Thursday, September 7th, 2023 Devotional. Topic: Keep Your Hope Alive in Christ. Text: Proverbs 13:12     “ Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when dreams come true, there is life and joy. (NLT)” All hope could have been lost for Joseph of the Holy Book when He was sold out by His siblings, but He did not stop worshiping and trusting God still. When he was imprisoned, he could have accepted that God had forgotten totally about Him, but he still kept his hope still in God. He kept his hope in God up until the point he was appointed a leader. This is what hope in Christ is like, it may take a while and the heart becomes weary while awaiting its manifestation, but as long as it is God one is hoping on, the end will surely be full of joy. Keep your hope alive in Christ, His delay isn't His denial. He has you in mind and when the time comes, He will make a way. Just don't stop trusting Him. Prayer Father Lord, we pray that you help us to be reminded of your words s...

Tuesday, September 15th, 2023, Devotional  TOPIC:Manifesting Christ's Fruit; Patience and gentleness TEXT: Prov 14:29, 2peter 3:8-11 Prov 14:29 A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. For a Fisherman to be able to catch so many fish in his bait, he has to be very patient. The biblical story of Peter and Andrew tells us how they struggled all night to catch fishes at the lake of Genesaret, but all effort was futile till they met Jesus and their story changed. Patience is a Virtue everyone should show forth either with God or with things God has created and even with ourselves. Do not be quick to respond to anger for anger, Prov 15:1. At times when going through challenges and everything seems hard, keep being patient with God and keep his commandments while being...

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10TH, 2023 DEVOTIONAL. TOPIC: Patience is a virtue. TEXT: Exodus 24:15-16              _" Exod.24.15 Then Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. (NLT)"_             _"Exod.24.16 And the glorious presence of the LORD rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from the cloud. (NLT)"_ An excellent quality that all human creatures must possess is "patience." Why?  There are so many reasons to this and one of the most important reasons is to rightly walk with God.  Walking( Living a godly lifestyle) with God is like walking with an old man, an old man is weak physically and can't do so many things that young ones do, they can't walk fast or run fast like young and full of energy young ones do.
