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 NATURE OF CHILDREN
Read: Matthew 18:1-5 And said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. (Vs. 3)
When Jesus likened the kingdom of God to the life of a child, He did not intend that we should remain as children and not be matured. Rather, He wanted to teach us some of the characteristics of children which are similar to the lifestyle of the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 14:20).
Every child depends on his parents, and God wants us to depend on and trust in Him like children do (Psalm 125:1). Children always inform their parents about things and receive instruction on all they are to do. So because the Holy Spirit is in us, God wants us to consult Him always (Proverbs 3:5-6). A child easily forgives and God wants us to forgive like little children (Matthew 6:14). A child, when wrong is disciplined. He never thinks of changing his parents because of that. In the same way, we should turn to God no matter the situation we find ourselves or whatever He asks us to do (Hebrews 12:4-6).
A faithful child always honors his parents. For this reason, God expects us to honor Him always (Malachi 1:6). All believers need to be meek, teachable and correctable. As a child, trust and believe in God for all His promises concerning your life, family, business, marriage, health, etc (Romans 10:11). Wait patiently on Him with understanding. He is a faithful God. He is a good father and He can never fail you. Be a faithful son or daughter to Him and this year, He will prove His faithfulness in your life.
Declaration: I am in good hands with Jesus.
“YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE AS A CHILD TO HAVE THE BEST OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”
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.
