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.

BE DELIBERATE

Scripture Reading Matthew 16:13-23
Devotional:- “Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven” (V. 17) NKJV

    It’s important we know that it is either a man is influenced by the Holy Spirit or by the spirit of the world. Knowing this will help us to choose which spirit should use us or inspire us at a time. That is why the word of God says; the spirit is subject to us (1 Corinthians 14:32). This means, we can make our choice.

The Holy Spirit inspired Peter to speak the truth about the person of Jesus in Matthew 16:16. Jesus commended him of being inspired by the Holy Spirit. Shockingly, in the same chapter, Peter allowed himself to be inspired by the devil and Jesus rebuked him (Matthew 16:23). This is because Peter was not conscious that the devil could speak through him. That is why the word of God told us to test every spirit (1 John 4:1).

You will see people acting wrongly and they will give the excuses that it was the devil. That is why you and I need to be deliberate in allowing only the spirit of God to inspire our actions. This is by been deliberate in testing every spirit before acting. Be sure the ideas or instructions in your spirit is according to the word of God. Measure every inspiration by the word of God. Make it a deliberate thing that in any place or situation is sure you are always inspired by the Holy Spirit. Either you are playing, joking with friends at home or in the office. Always connect with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and you shall be signs and wonders. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me only to allow your Spirit in my heart.

“IF YOU ARE NOT CONSCIOUSLY INSPIRED BY GOD, YOU WILL BE UNCONSCIOUSLY INSPIRED BY THE FLESH”

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.
