Quotes about Devotions

Your greatest contribution to God's Kingdom work—and to defeating the Enemy's efforts against this Kingdom—is to keep up your daily devotions; live a clean, honest, humble, Spirit-filled life; trust God to guard and protect you morally, physically, and spiritually; and openly witness for Jesus Christ.
