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.

FOUNDATION OF THE KINGDOM
1 Peter 2:1-10 Read: “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."” (v. 6)
Jesus laid the foundation of the kingdom of God we are in today. He has brought us in as a domain of God. (Colossians 1:13). This foundation was laid by the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. This is the major reason He died on the cross that we might be brought in and be purchased into God by His blood. (Revelation 5:9-10). This foundation was prophesied by the prophets in Isaiah 28:16, 8:14.
Jesus was speaking about the foundation of this kingdom in Luke 20:17-18. Apostle Peter also refer to it as the Chief corner stone (1 Peter 2:6). This is because the blood of Jesus contains the life of Christ (Leviticus 17:11). He became the sacrifice for our salvation and the price of our redemption (Revelation 5:9-10).
That is why no power can tamper with you because your life is built on the life of Christ (Colossians 3:3). Whoever wants to destroy you must be destroyed. Why? Jesus died to give you this salvation and who ever want to take you from it must die too. No matter what you are faced with, you cannot be ashamed but overcome. The life of Christ will always fight for you and give you victory (Revelation 12:11). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to stand firm on this foundation of Christ.
“YOUR FOUNDATION IN CHRIST CAN NO MORE BE MOLESTED, THE OLD IS OVER FOREVER”
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 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.
