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.

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE
Matthew 6:19-21
Devotional Verse-“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Vs. 21)
It is the lifestyle of God’s kingdom citizens to always give sacrificially. In the realm of the spirit, the way to tap into God’s favour is by sacrificial giving. This is not what we should do once in a while. Whoever wants to partake in God’s blessings must give willingly and consistently. The key word here is ‘consistency’ (Psalms 126:5, Gal. 6:9-10, Eccl. 11:1-2).
In our Scripture today, Jesus talked about where our giving should be focused on. Jesus said that giving should not be channeled towards the earth, but towards heaven. This becomes possible when our giving is in accordance with the Biblical instructions and directives from God. Jesus is actually teaching us to put our treasures in heaven. Our treasures are our valuables. Investment in God’s kingdom is void of inflation or corruptible factors.
You can bank on the faithfulness of God, because He will always bless you in times of need (Phil. 4:19). It is what you keep in heaven that you will meet when you get there. That is the reason we should be wise and invest for heavenly treasures. This helps us to focus on eternity with God rather than gathering the riches of the earth which will be eventually perish. As you give sacrificially, you and your family will not lack timely provision in Jesus name. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me to always put my treasures in 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.
