Devotions Day 1,

               Everyday , captivate that habit of devotion and  the heart for devotion. The story I read up was about a man,a traveler, spending his whole life searching for a treasure chest full of silver and gold. He grew old and decided to tell 2 other people about the treasure and in the end, the two other people found the treasure . the only thing was that he was too old to use the treasure.

This really hit me , how we  want so much WORLDLY TREASURES when we are already given the  HEAVENLY TREASURE  that none can replace yet we are so naive so search such pointless things , Electric Guitars ,  New Computers , That Dress and all the unnecessary things.


Matthew 16:24-27 says

 ²⁴ Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. ²⁶ What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷ For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

           And yeah , we are all servants to God and we must deny ourselves , take up our own cross and follow the Savior , Jesus Christ. For it is either we're a slave to God or slave to Sin.


Romans 6:11-13 says
 ¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.


Overall , the devotion for me was saying to stop being a slave to the WORLD and start being a slave to GOD.
