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.

PRAYER AND FASTING

PRAYER AND FASTING

Scripture Reading: Matthew 17:14-21
Devotional:- “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting" (v. 21) NKJV 

    To gain spiritual strength, a man must create avenue to overcome the flesh. That is what makes praying and fasting very important. The flesh don’t ever want any inconveniences. The flesh wants pleasure and the enjoyment of this world. The Bible says “if we continue to live by the flesh, we will terminate our connection with God (Romans 8:5-8). The flesh always wants to drive to carnality and that is why whoever that wants to be strong in the spirit must deny it in prayer and fasting. Prayer and fasting is for you to gain spiritual muscles.

A man brought his son to the disciples of Jesus for healing but they could not. Friend, you may say “but I am not a pastor”, must I fast to heal people? But there will come an occasion when you or your family will need healing and you may not be able to help them, if you are weak. Don’t wait to be under emergency to be strong to conquer. Prevention is better than cure. Jesus said the forces of wickedness cannot be commanded out by a weak man (Matthew 17:21, Proverbs 24:10)

I will like to encourage you to regularly create time to separate yourself unto God in prayer and fasting. It does not in any way going to disturb your work or business. That way, you will enjoy deep revelation about the word of God for your strength (Isaiah 58:6-8). Then your strength will increase for your victory. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me grace to always deny myself in time of praying and fasting.

“PRAYER AND FASTING SHOULD BECOME A LIFESTYLE FOR CHILD OF GOD”

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.
