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.

JEALOUS GOD

JEALOUS GOD

Exodus 34:9-17
Devotional:- “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord whose name is Jealous is a jealous God” (V. 14) NKJV

    Jealousy is one of the strong natures of God and you need to recognize your God as a jealous God. Ignorance of this has thrown many into the pit of regret. We should all learn to be careful not to provoke our God into jealousy. God's jealousy is a product of His great love toward His people. That Is why it is also natural for men to be jealous. How do you feel when someone is beating your children or spouse? That is why a parent cannot be allowed to come and be in class with their children.

In the scripture we read today, God said, we should never worship any other god. The reason is because He created those other gods and they are not even gods. They are only turned into gods by human ignorance. And when the true God sees you bowing to fake gods, you make Him jealous. If God is blessing a man and the man begins to glorify an idol for the blessing, God's wrath will surely come upon both the blessing and the idols (Exodus 12:12).

You therefore need to be careful of the way you worship your car, house, business, finances, family, or even your ability. It does not take God a minute to destroy it if you activate His jealousy. Always appreciate Him for all things (John 3:27). Recognize the purpose of His blessing. It is that we might be a blessing to others on His behalf. Be willing to use His blessing in your life for His glory and your blessings will not be cursed (Malachi 2:2). Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be willing to worship you with all that I have.

"WHATEVER YOU CAN NOT USE TO SERVE GOD IS AN IDOL"
