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 LOST SHEEP
Luke 15:1-7 Devotional Verse: -“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance” (Vs. 7)
What a great joy and excitement you derive when you find what is of great value to you! It is normal to feel great when what was wrongly taken from you is restored to you. So it is with God. Man is the most valuable creature He has, yet we don’t recognize this value. Something in us always wants to be far from home and we distance ourselves from God. Gap is always preferred in a relationship which you don't value.
The truth is that, our distance from God will always reduce our value in life (John15:5). The prodigal son did this and regretted it (Luke15:11-20). That is why God is ready to pay any price to look out for sinners. He knows the danger they would face with the devil.
Friend, if you join Jesus in seeking the unsaved and to restore them to the fold, you will be one of His greatest friends. Jesus is not looking for a perfect saint to use, but seeks a child of God with a compassionate heart for lost souls. Resolve to be a soul winner and God will beautify your life greatly (Rom. 10:15). Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me a heart of compassion for the lost souls
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.
