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.

THE HEART OF WORSHIP

THE HEART OF WORSHIP

Romans 6:1-14
Devotional: “And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God” (V. 13)


    Since worship is our first purpose on earth we need to know that worship will not be worship if we don’t surrender to God. So, surrendering is the heart of worship. In our world today, surrender sound negative. It could mean to give up or losing or admit your defeat. But it is giving ourselves to God not out of fear or necessity but in love [1 John 4:9-19]. Three things often attempt to block our mind from total surrendering to God, fear, pride and confusion.

As kingdom citizen, please know it that you must learn to trust God. A woman will not be able to surrender to her husband if she does not trust him and so also you to God. To truly surrender to God, you must admit your weaknesses and limitations. That is when you truly want to ask Him to help you. Someone said, the reason many are still struggling with life is because they have not come to the end of themselves. To surrender to God does not mean to be passive or an excuse for laziness but it is sacrificing your life or been ready to suffer through the process to bring a change to your life.

Friend, surrendering is best demonstrated in an obedience and trust. A child of God who has surrendered to God, such will not be reacting to criticism or rush to defend himself [Mark 14:36]. When people truly surrender to God, they experience peace and freedom [Luke 1:38]. If you don’t surrender to God, you still surrender to either people’s opinion, fear, money, pride or resentment. Sometimes, it could take years for you to discover that you are victim of your own pride. Note that your decision to surrender to God will always be tested. So, make up your mind to totally surrender to God. Then you will really start to live. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, I need your grace to totally surrender to you

“SURRENDERING IS NOT THE BEST, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY LIVE”

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.
