May 3, 2019 UCB Word For Today Devotional : Topic - Has your blessing become a burden?

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Has your blessing become a burden?

03 MAY 2019
‘One’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.’
In Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, five men escape a prison by hijacking a hot air balloon. Quickly they sense the wind is carrying them out over the ocean. 

They see the horizon receding and realise they are losing altitude. Since they have no way of heating the air in the balloon, they begin to throw some of the excess weight overboard. Shoes, coats, and weapons are reluctantly discarded, and they rejoice when the balloon begins to rise. Soon they draw dangerously close to the waves again and begin to toss their food overboard. 
A third time the balloon begins to descend, and this time one man suggests they tie together the ropes that connect the balloon to the basket in which they are riding, then sit on the ropes and cut away the heavy basket. The very floor they had been standing on falls away, and the balloon rises once again. Suddenly they spot land. 
With not a minute to spare, they jump into the water and swim to an island. Their lives were spared because they learned what they could live without. Why did Jesus say, ‘One’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses’? Because what you think will be a blessing can end up being a burden. 
What you strive for today, you may stress out over tomorrow. Jesus said, ‘Your heavenly Father…knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else…and he will give you everything you need’ (Matthew 6:32-33 NLT).
1 Samuel 27-29, John 14
