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 STRONG

Ephesians 6:10-20
Devotional:- “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might” (V. 10) NKJV

    Victory in this world is not given just to the aged, it is given to the strong. Part of the New Testament Covenant of God for believers is victory (1 John 5:4). But believers must realize that spiritual strength is not what we acquire because we like it. It is a commandment of the Lord. God’s word says “Be strong in the Lord”. That is not a suggestion or an advice, it is a commandment.

It therefore means that choosing weakness as a Christian is a choice of disobedience to the Lord. Most of us have various genuine reasons why we don’t want to be strong in the Lord. This varies from office and business engagement to lack of time to grow in the Lord. But you must realize that those excuses will not be tenable when the battle of life arises.

Our scripture today shows us that we need to put on the whole armor of God, not some. These amours are itemized in the scripture we read today. Take time out to study each of them till you grow in them all. Some Christian only wants to grow their prayer life and not their word life. Others want to grow in obedience life and not their faith life. The entire syllabus is compulsory if you must win. Grow in them one after the other and your victory will be inevitable. Peace.

PRAYER: LORD, TEACH ME THE WAY OF YOUR STRENGTH.

“NOT ONE THING GIVES BIRTH TO STRENGTH, IT TAKES THE WHOLE”

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.
