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 FIG TREE
Luke 13:6-9 Devotional Verse:- “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.” (Vs. 6)
Every citizen of the kingdom of God is expected to bear fruits unto God. This is because God, by His Spirit has invested so much in us. He has invested in us the gifts of the Spirit in different varieties. He has invested in us the passion for specific assignments in His house and in our businesses. He has also invested special abilities and unique personalities in us. He has invested in us all manner of experiences. He has planned and fashioned us for His glory (Isaiah 43:21).
In our Scripture for today, Jesus told us of a man who planted a tree and was expecting fruits from it. He was disappointed when it didn't bear fruits. So, a command was given to cut down the tree.
Friend, refuse to be a disappointment to God. Be committed to the service of the Lord in soul winning. Giving care for members of God’s family and meditating over the word of God to produce the fruits of the Spirit in you. (2 Cor. 3:18, Gal. 5:22). The word of God is the seed of life (Luke 8:11). Don’t be a Christian without proof of progress in your spiritual journey and in your business. Strive to be fruitful and God’s blessings will multiply in you. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, Give me the grace to be a fruitful Christian
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.
