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.

INIQUITY
PSALMS 66:10-20
DEVOTIONAL VERSE: “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear”. (Vs. 18)
In the kingdom of God, all promises are kept. This is because God is a faithful God (Hebrews 10:23). He has the capacity to fulfill and carry out His promises. So, whenever our prayers are not answered, we can then be sure that it is not God’s fault but ours. The lapses always come from us.
In the Scripture for today, the Psalmist said that, if he allowed iniquity in his heart, the Lord would not hear him. It is iniquity in the heart that blocks our access to God. In Isaiah 59:1-2, we are told that the hand of the Lord is not short that it cannot deliver us but iniquity has denied us access. Iniquity in the original meaning is a heart with condemnation. It’s a heart with the guilt of sin. God’s word tells us that the righteous is as bold as lion (Prov. 28:1). Jesus shed His blood so that through it, our hearts can be purged and cleansed (Hebrews 9:22). Please, accept by faith the work of the Blood of Jesus over your heart.
Friend, it is important that you ask God for mercy and accept His mercy. He is a merciful God (Rom. 8:1) Purge your heart and make it free to receive from God and He will always answer your prayers. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, let the blood of Jesus clean my heart totally
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.
