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.

DO BUSINESS TILL I COME
Luke 19:11-27 Devotional Verse:-“So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'” (Vs. 13)
To a citizen of the kingdom of God, doing business is not a suggestion but a commandment. Any child of God who is not doing business is therefore disobeying God. It is a sin that can send him to hell. What is the business God wants us to do? It is trading with what He has given us to bring profit into His kingdom for our promotion.
God has given every one of us something to trade with. Your spiritual gifts, passion, special abilities, personalities and experiences. Your family or financial experiences and your testimonies are all instruments of trade for God. You can earn greatness in life from all these. This is by solving others problems with your abilities. You have no reason to be poor as a child of God. Giving excuses of not having a job is irrelevant in the kingdom of God. It is called wickedness and laziness (Matthew 25:24-30). Jobs are created to give people income and meet their needs.
Friend, you have a money machine inside of you. Don't carry it around complaining. Just sit back and think (Luke 14:28). Your profit is to draw others to the kingdom of God. Your profit is to solve problems of people around you. Your profit is to make good income so that you can be a blessing to your family as well as God’s kingdom. Stop being careless in the way you go about your life. God is a business man and has made you to do business (Luke 2:49). Be creative, innovative and profit-oriented, especially for His glory and your reward will be eternal. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to succeed in my business
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.
