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.

PLEASURE MENTALITY

PLEASURE MENTALITY

Scripture Reading: Luke 8:11-15
Devotional:- “Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity” (v. 14) NKJV 

    One of the tricks of the devil to make people weak in this generation is the deceitfulness of pleasure. Man in their natural state tend to be deceived into pleasure mentality. There is nothing wrong in having pleasure, but pleasure mentality takes delight in idleness and continuous enjoyment. There is no one who want to focus on continuous enjoyment that will not fail at last in life (Proverbs 21:12).

Such people see what is the normal way of life from angle of fun or pleasure. It is a normal thing for man to eat but when food is taking with pleasure mentality, it becomes what people unnecessarily crave for. It is normal for people to relax in a pool once a while, if there is an opportunity. It is normal for a man and a woman to have sex in marriage. It is made by God and righteous but when taken with pleasure mentality, it becomes a trap. The spirit of the devil will always take advantage of people with pleasure mentality. Such spirit makes man to take continuous relaxation of irresponsibility as pleasure. The truth is that, irresponsibility will waste the strength of anyone (Ecclesiastics 10:16-18). This can lead people into the mentality of get rich quick which leads to robbery and murdering.

Friend, repent of your wrong ways of life to gain strength in God. To relax after a hard day work is wisdom but to take it as a life style and sit down to watch films for hours daily is called waste (1 Corinthians 6:12). Your destiny will not waste in Jesus name. Moses became great by avoiding pleasure (Hebrews 11:25). Don't let the devil waste your life. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from pleasure mentality.

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.
