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.

SELF-CONTROL

SELF-CONTROL         

1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Devotional: “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” V 27


    One of the strong fruits the Spirit every child of God should seek to bear is Self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). The word of God says, a life without the attitude of self-control is like a city without wall (Proverbs 25:28). This means, such person is exposed to all kind of danger. Gentleness and Self-control are virtues that always operate together. To be self-controlled is to learn to put self under check in any situation.

In our Scripture today, Apostle Paul show us the act of Self Control. This is by not allowing today’s achievements to hinder that of tomorrow. This is by putting the body under subjection and not allow the human nature to hinder our discipline attitude. 

Self-control makes you put yourself in order before others start to correct you. Learn to put your mind in subjection to wisdom. Our human nature doesn’t always want to do what is right but we must train it to do the right thing in Christ Jesus. You must not let your human nature control you but train it to do the will of God. This is possible only by your choice to live a self-controlled live. Not letting your situation or nature drives you into sin but discipline it with meditation and choosing to obey the word of God. So, you will be a unique Christian all the days of your life. Peace

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to always put my life under the control of the Holy Spirit

“THE SPIRIT THAT CONTROLS YOUR LIFE IS YOUR MASTER”

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.
