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.

AUTHORITY IN THE KINGDOM
Matthew 8:5-13 Devotional Verse:- “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." (Vs. 9)
As a citizen of the kingdom of God, you must get used to the use of authority. Jesus did not teach us to fight physically but He gave us the authority to fight with. This is because we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (Eph. 6:10-12). This means that we are not just facing physical human beings alone but people moved by evil spirits. This is the reason we must be equipped with the authority of the kingdom of God. So, understand the way of the Spirit.
Authority is always delegated from a person of a higher power to another person to command and enforce the subject or the opponent to obey. It is the power or might which gives orders, issues instructions and enforces obedience.
Please, understand that your ability to control or dominate the enemy is through the power of God that is delegated to you (Luke10:19). That is why you must take this seriously because it is your only strength for victory in Christ (1 John 5:4). Therefore, just like the man in our Scripture for today, get used to the authority of the word of God given to you. Locate the Scripture of your authority over any situation and meditate on it to receive faith (1 John5:4). The word of god is the constitution that gives you a constitutional right. Always take your authority from the word of God (Ephesians 6:17). Use it in every situation, and the forces of God will always be at work in your life. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, reveal my authority to me in your word
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.
