Why Devotion?

When you go to fellowship you probably hear people talking about different devotionals. If you go to a Christian bookstore, you probably see a whole section of devotionals. If you google it, there are probably thousands of them on the websites. So what are they and why is there so much focus for believer about them?

What most people when they talk about devotionals is a book that helps you grow in your relationship with God. It is usually broken down into daily chapters that you can read and pray about. The other common term used for the word devotion is called the 'quiet time'.

Why Quiet Time?

Our World is NOISY and BUSY. As a medical student, life in Russia everything seems to be on a ‘RUSH’, and time with God can easily passed over. A quiet time is when you take some time out of your day and make an appointment to connect with God. You show your devotion to God by reading the passage and praying on it every day. 

Luke 9:23
Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

Thank God for the Internet. If you don't have a devotional material, you can always search one in front of your computer. Ps. Kong has recently started a website on his own beginning of this year. I would highly recommend everyone here to bookmark this daily-devotion link below, and begin to be inspired by the articles everyday. Trust me, it is good food! I'm not very sure that all the articles were written by him, but it is pretty much all about what he has been teaching throughout his ministry.
