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.

WISDOM GROWTH
Proverbs 4: 1-10
Devotional:0“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding” (v.7) NKJV
Life becomes a struggle sooner or later when people grow in other areas of life and are not growing in wisdom. Wisdom is said to be the principal factor of life. The major trouble of life is the fact that those who ought to teach wisdom are only just growing. God has structured it for people to learn wisdom from homes, schools or churches. But wisdom has been scarce because of greed and needs.
Since wisdom centers have been diverted, those who want to grow in wisdom must be humble and receive it through searching (Ecclesiastes 1:13). We need wisdom for spiritual strength, business, finances, relationship and provision for progress. Wisdom is the ability to decide and act wisely.
To grow in wisdom, we must be willing to pay the price of searching for it through the information of the word of God and the one available through the books of the wise people in our different areas of need. Please understand that reading is not equal to wisdom, it is the Lord that gives wisdom. (Proverbs 2:6, Job 32:8) He teaches us through the factors of growth. Understand that a part of these factors are our challenges and our relationship experiences (Proverbs 13:20). Ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). Don’t live among fools and God will give you wisdom. Peace.
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.
