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.

ABOVE DARKNESS
Read: Matthew 12:22-30But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Vs.28)
The kingdom of God is a kingdom of light. Light is above darkness any day and at any given point in time. The two cannot co-exist. One will have to bow for the other. The moment light comes, darkness disappears (John 1:5). This is why the kingdom of God is more superior to the kingdom of the devil.
Many people have not known much about the kingdom of light. They only have so much information about the kingdom of darkness. This has made many in this part of the world to think that the devil is more powerful or more capable than God. So, when someone is doing any spectacular thing, he is believed to be doing it by the power of darkness.
God made the devil (Isaiah 14:12-15). He (the devil) was chased out of heaven because he rebelled against God and lost his power ever since (Rev. 12:7-12). Jesus defeated and disarmed him (Colossians 2:15). Today, all power belongs to Jesus (Matthew 28:18). You can cast out the devil in the name of Jesus by faith and he will run for his life. Don’t ever be intimidated by his gimmicks. Resist him and he will flee from your life and family in Jesus name (1 Peter 5:8-9). Peace!
Prayer: I receive freedom from all intimidation of the devil from now in Jesus name.
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.
