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.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

Hebrews 12:1-8
Dev:- looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (V. 2)


    As a people consecrated to the Lord, we must learn to look only unto Jesus. Due to the hard situations of the perilous times that we are, so many people have turned begging, tricking people to get money, making excessive profits, loading contracts or cost of supply and the like. So many ungodly profit is going on today.

If you and I are waiting for the coming of the Lord, we must learn to look unto Jesus in times of our needs. We must not make men and materials our focus but Christ. Remember the word of God places anyone who trust in man under a curse (Jeremiah 17:5-6). So each of us must learn to look unto God and take responsibility to labour by faith for our needs to be met.

To look unto God means we must put our hope and trust in Him. We must turn to Him in prayers whenever we have a need. We need to learn how to hear the Lord and receive answers to our prayers, which come inform of divine direction. God speaks to our heart inform of thoughts. So when we focus on Him as we pray, we should be attentive to receive His answers. When we are attentive to hear Him, the first thought is usually from the Lord. Just check if it agrees with the word of God and you have peace in your heart (Psalm 85:8-9). His direction will always lead us into responsibility to profitable labour (Isaiah 48:17-18). Peace!

Prayer: Lord, teach me to look unto you for my needs

“YOU CANNOT LOOK UNTO GOD AND MAN AT THE SAME TIME”

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.
