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 POOR IN SPIRIT
Read: Luke 6:20-23 Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. (Vs. 20)
This teachings of Jesus are referred to as the beatitudes which mean the blessings. Jesus talked about being poor in the spirit. Jesus used these teachings to enlighten us on the blessings of the kingdom of God. It looks quite different from the factors of human blessings because it is not of the kingdom of men.
To be poor in the spirit is to be meek, teachable and correctable. It is to live a life that is not over attached to anything. This is a great virtue in the sight of God (I Peter 3:4). It means, to feel empty and unsatisfied with God. It is the zeal of wanting more of God. Such people will get deeper and deeper with God.
Jesus said that it is only people who are poor in the spirit that will have the kingdom of God. This is a possessive language which means that they will be in control in the kingdom of God. They will be people of authority in the kingdom of God. They will speak and the angels of God will carry out their requests and instructions (Isaiah 66:2). They will be honorable both in heaven and on earth. They will not lose anything in this world and will still have abundance in eternity. Wake up and receive. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to know you more and better.
“HE WHO KEEP KNEELING BEFORE GOD, WILL STAND TALL AMONG MEN”
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.
