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.

BURN THE BRIDGE
Matthew 19:16-26 Devotional Verse: -“Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."” (Vs. 21)
In the nature of the kingdom of God, everyone who want to be part must be total with God. Human beings are always looking for the way to play safe in life. So, many are always playing smartness with God. Each one who will have the full package in God must burn the bridge behind them.
A man came to Jesus, seeking to secure his eternity with God. He has actually been a true keeper of the law all his life, but not with a total heart. To be total with God we must live in the purpose of God for our lives. We must know that all that we have, belong to Him and it must be used for His glory (Psalms 24:1, Matthew 16:25). We must be committed to the family of God, the church for our growth (Hebrews 10:25). You must humble yourself to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to reform you as you learn the word of God (Romans 12:1-2). It is by been willing to help and bless others with what God has given us (Genesis 12:2). This is by joyfully sharing the word of God with others to win their souls to the Lord (Matthew 28:19-20).
Friend, you need to know that standing on the fence is a pointer to failure. It is either you are choosing Jesus or other god. Lukewarm life have no place in the kingdom of God (Revelation 3:15-16). Don’t think you want to be a little worldly and a little godly. That means, you have not decided totally for God. Many people live all their lives and never decided for God, they die that way and people think they are Christians. They are not useful for God nor for the devil. Make up your mind to follow the Lord. And you will be a true disciple of Jesus. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to be total with you
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.
