"I'll make up for the years of the locust, the great locust devastation—Locusts savage, locusts deadly, fierce locusts, locusts of doom, That great locust invasion I sent your way." Joel 2:25 (MSG) What a promise from our Lord. I must admit that I have learned a lot and my trust in Lord has a deeper root now after going through this experience called separation of marriage. Beloved, no matter our situation, let us learn to trust in the Lord. I have a sorrowful heart as I write this devotion, but my God has strengthened me to do so. The Lord showed me a wonderful illustration on how he was going to restore my marriage. In Africa, our lights do go off often and this particular time, we slept half through the night with no light so I...

JESUS CHRIST HAS RISEN! Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot... John 20:10-12 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen just as he said.†Matthew 28:5-6 Jesus said to her, “Mary.†She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!†(which means Teacher). Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father...

No one enjoys suffering, but suffering is a necessary, normal part of the Christian life. In fact, the Scripture says we can expect hardships and suffering to increase (2 Tim. 2:3; 3:1-4, 13), so we must be prepared. We learn from the book of 2 Timothy that we may experience suffering as a result of our testimony, our godly living, or our stand for truth (2 Tim. 1:8; 2:8-9, 17-18; 3:6-8, 12). We may also experience suffering when we are rejected or left alone (2 Tim. 1:15; 4:9-11; 4:16), or as a natural consequence to our fleshly, worldly desires (2 Tim. 2:22). Suffering will indeed come, but God can give us grace and power to overcome every trial and to fulfill our purpose and mission in His kingdom. In his second epistle to Timothy...

JESUS' LAST SEVEN WORDS Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?†But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?†“I am,†said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.†Mark 14:60-62 Jesus is now alone and arrested. Let me share the sequence of time from when Jesus was arrested. There was a religious trial before Annas and before Caiaphas, Peter denying Jesus, the condemnation by the Sanhedrin, the death of Judas, the civil trial before Pilate, the trial...

THE NIGHT JESUS WAS ARRESTED When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, “I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me.†Matthew 26:20-21 On Thursday, Jesus told Peter and John to go and make preparations for all the disciples and Jesus to eat the Passover with them in a special home. I hope you will be able to read in your Bible the many events that happened Thursday evening and late into the night before and after Jesus, our Lord was arrested. While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.†Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it...

In fact I stop and pray a little prayer before I make a choice or decision. It goes like this: God please help me to stop and think before I act or make a choice that may displease you Lord and help me to choose what You choose for me to be the best for me God, in Jesus name I pray. Amen

We first want to say Thank You for being our God and our Father! We thank you Lord that we have you to come to at anytime, anywhere and in any and every situation. Lord we Thank You for your precious Son Jesus Christ who sacrificed His life that we may live life to its fullest.

Lord God, I pray that you will allow healing and reconciliation to take place. That whatever hurts or disappointments they have experienced can be mended...

JESUS PREPARED FOR BURIAL Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!†Immediately the tree withered. When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?†they asked. Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.†Matthew 21:18-22 Do you need to increase your faith this Holy Week and...
