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.

IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-7
Devotional:-“And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules” (v. 5) NKJV

    A major factor hindering many people from becoming successful in the black race is the inability to live in the purpose of life. God has made all things to fall in place for man when he lives in his purpose (Matthew 6:33). To be able to live in the purpose of God for our lives, we have to discover that purpose and then give ourselves to it. A major hindrance to the discovering of the purpose of men is man not thinking of the need for the purpose. By so, man live for the wrong purpose which is material. These are the things that are already provided for us.

As much as money and material things are important for our living on earth, they are not the reason we are here. So, we are to work towards them at our capacity and be thankful. Discovery of purpose will help us to set our priority right. It will give us the right goal and focus. If focus is wrong, people will miss their success. Our purpose is known by our maker. And the Bible is our guide.

In the scripture, we discover that the purposes of man are: to aim at bringing glory to God through all that we are doing, to love others and be part of His family, to grow our spirit and soul to be like Him, to live and bless others and to bring others to the saving grace of Christ (Matthew 22:37-40; 28:19-20). When a man understands these, his success will be rightly defined. His focus will be righteous and his life will be blessed by the Lord. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me good understanding of my purpose on earth.

“KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE MAKES YOU FOCUS ON WHAT HEAVEN WILL BACK UP FOR YOUR SUCCESS ON EARTH”

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.
