PROTECT YOUR HEART  Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT      Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION

PRIVILEGED VERSUS OBLIGATION            

Psalms 100:1-5
Devotional Verse-“Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing” (V. 2)


  Serving the Lord demands that we don't think of our  assignments as obligations but a privilege. An obligation is a sense of duty produced by a contract or agreement before a man can be paid. A privilege is a special opportunity or special advantage that is not common to all. Good servant sees their services to God as a privilege not an obligation.

  That is why service to God demands service with gladness. Those who serve under obligation experiences stress but privileged people serve joyfully. The reason true servants will see themselves as privileged is because God’s promises and rewards for his servants are great. Jesus said “if we serve Him, God the father will honour us” (John 12:26). The word of God says, we shall be greatly rewarded (1 Corinthians 15:58). The Bible says, God shall heal us and set us free from miscarriages (Exodus 23:25).

  Beside all of these promises, we serve the Lord because He is our owner and our master. We serve Him voluntarily with gladness because He is our maker and our God (Psalms 100:3). That is why we must not serve God like an obligation so that we don't serve the enemy (Deuteronomy 28:47-48). Don't let anyone push you before you serve faithfully. And your reward shall be abundant. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always serve you with a true servant’s heart.

“ONLY SERVICE WITH A SERVANT’S HEART HAVE ETERNAL REWARD”

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
