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.

THE KING’S PARTY
Read: Luke 14:15-24 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ (Vs. 18)
Citizens of the kingdom of God are faithful and loyal followers of Christ. We know that our lives belong to Him and we are not of ourself. Obedience to God is paramount, above money, business and even our lives. When He instructs us, nothing in this world should be considered as being more important (Matthew 7:24). This is because He has the best plan for us (Jeremiah 29:11). His understanding is far more than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Jesus gave a parable of how a king made ready a party, but the invited guests began to make excuses. They allowed material things (the things of this world) to hinder them from enjoying eternity with God.
Please, understand that God’s instruction is for your best (Isaiah 1:19 NIV). Stop seeing God as a religious-being who you only go to when you are in need of Him. God made you for Himself (Isaiah 43:21). You need Him to find success and fulfillment in this world (John 15:5). Learn to always submit to His instructions and you will be above the powers of the enemy (James 4:7). You will also be lifted (James 4:10). Walking in wisdom will be very easy for you (Matthew 7:24). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always obey you
“YIELDING TO GOD IS YIELDING TO GRACE AND GREATNESS”
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.
