PROTECT YOUR HEART

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.

SENSE OF REJECTION

SENSE OF REJECTION

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 10:1-11
Devotional:- “When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."” (V. 5)

    There are some factors we have to be very careful about. This is because they are capable of discouraging us. To be discouraged is to be punctured or deflated of courage. To be encouraged is to put on or take up courage. It will therefore be wise to avoid whatever deflates our courage in life, so that we are not hindered of achieving the plan of God for our lives.

One of such courage deflating factor is sense of rejection. The servants of David were humiliated by the people of Ammon. They went for peace mission but they were confronted with rejection. They were so ashamed and discouraged.

Friend, be careful of the rejection mentality. This is simply a mentality of low self-esteem. If people reject you, quickly remind yourself that you belong to a family and a people who accepts you. Don't let this discourage and break you down totally in life. Were you rejected in a relationship proposal; traveling visa; business or career proposal? It is because it is not the perfect will of God for you. Refuse to remain in such depression. Encourage yourself, move on till you find the people that will celebrate you. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to arise till I find my own place
