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.

LOVING GOD

 LOVING GOD     

Matthew 22:34-40
Devotional:- “Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind” (v.37) NKJV


  True disciples of Christ must live in true and total love for God and for His fellow brethren. Since Jesus is love personified, our lives should also reflect the image of the son of God (1 John 4:8). It was love that brought Him to this world. It was love that took him to the cross. It was love that made Him to die in order to redeem us.

Love produces care and kindness, but much more, love makes us to obey the Lord (1 John 4:8). So, the true evidence of love is submission and obedience (John 14:23-24). In the scripture we read today, Jesus thought us to love God with all our heart, which means, we are to love God passionately. We are to love God with all our soul, which means, to allow Him to direct our total being. We are to love God with all our mind, which means, we allow our thinking to agree with that of Jesus (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Jesus said we should love our neighbor as ourself. Do you observe that you love yourself sincerely and responsively? The same way we should do to others (Ephesians 5:29). That is why no true disciple of Jesus can hate anyone. When you start to walk in love towards God and man, then you will be like Christ. Peace! 

Prayer: Lord, plant the Spirit of love in me

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.
