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.

PROCESS OF DISCIPLESHIP
Mark 8: 34-38
Devotional:-“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (v.34) NKJV
Just like any other process of production, to become a disciple of Jesus also demands that we are taking through a process. It is in the course of going through the process that we begin to look like Jesus. Everyone that come to Jesus are like raw materials, but we must not remain raw in our relationship with Christ. Some people have been in the Church for decades, yet they are the same as they came.
The process of discipleship begins from we making a firm decision to become a true disciple of Jesus. It has to be firm because the devil through the flesh will contend with our decision. No one will truly be committed to Christ if they had not encounter Him personally like Peter (Luke 5:4-8). We must therefore seek to encounter Him by relating with Him. We must then covenant our life to walk with Jesus in total and not partial relationship.
This then enrolled us into the desire to learn of who Jesus is to us, what Christ does for us, what we are by right in God and what are our responsibilities as disciples of Christ. This will cost us quality time in learning to relate and obey the Lord. Discipleship will demand our commitment and devotion to the course of the kingdom of God. By this, we will keep growing from level to level till we are able to help others go through the process. It is then, we can stand for Jesus and obey Him in all situation. Peace.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to totally surrender to 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.
