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.

LONG SUFFERING

LONG SUFFERING

Ephesians 4:1-6
Devotional:- "with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love". (V. 2)

    As the world is deteriorating in value the virtue of long suffering is fast escaping. The way God designs love, you cannot truly love without long suffering. True love cannot be temporary. True love cannot be only when it is well. True love cannot be existing sometimes and stop at another time. True love is actually known in the time of trouble (Romans 5:6).

Love is not made for when it is sweet alone. True love stays when it is dark. True love does not back out. God's word instructs us to bear with one another with long suffering. That is why long suffering is part of the lifestyle of God because God is love (Exodus 34:6; Ephesians 4:2)

For anyone to exercise long suffering, he/she must understand that loving is a lifetime venture and it does not expire. We also need to know that love is with hope, this is hoping that all shall turn for good (Romans 8:28). To love with long suffering demands that we live a sacrificial life and willing to stay to see the good end (Habakkuk 2:3). Human view or human comments cannot be considered in long suffering. This is because there is no room for selfish motive in true love (1 John 4:18). Make up your mind to live in love and your life and relationship will be peaceful.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live a selfless life to be able to love.

“Only those who can endure can enjoy in love”

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.
