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.

CARRYING THE CROSS

CARRYING THE CROSS     

Luke 9:23-27
Devotional:-“Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (v.23) NKJV


    Disciples of Jesus must know that, we must pass through pain to access our gain. It is not going to be easy to change from what we have grown up to be for several years. It will be painful experience to unlearn the wrong we have been so used to and adjust to the will of God. God’s word says, even Jesus suffer to learn obedience to God (Hebrew 5:8).

Each one has to carry his/her own cross to be able to follow Christ. Cross here refers to inconveniences. Until we are ready to go through the inconveniences, we may not be able to adjust to Christ. Pain is a sign of dislocation and the solution is to relocate back to God. God trains His own children with challenges and we don't call it problem (Hebrews 12:6-11). A boxer needs to fight to win. So, fighting is a challenge and not a problem. Therefore, braze up and stop complaining or weeping. 

God is your father. He loves you and cannot fail you (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). Refuse to turn back from following the Lord notwithstanding your situation. Your faith is just been tested and when you pass, you will be promoted (James 1:12). God has prepared you for what you are going through and He knows you can overcome (1 Corinthians 10:13). So, rise up and be strong (1 John 5:4). You will surely pass. Peace!

Prayer – Lord, give me the grace to stand strong to my victory.

“THE STRENGTH TO STAND IS IN STANDING “

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

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.
